What happens when we put our small steps of faith into the hands of our mighty God? In Matthew’s Gospel, there are five times when Jesus talks about his followers having ‘little faith.' we can often read and hear this phrase as a term of derision or rebuke, but that doesn’t match with how Jesus responds to them. Whenever his disciples demonstrate even a small measure of faith in him, Jesus always responds by showing them something amazing about who he is!

This week, Rob Collis continues our series, Small and Mighty, by looking at Matthew 1714-24. In this passage, a desperate father goes in search of Jesus in order to heal his son, but winds up with the disciples, who discover that they don’t really know how to help. Yet through it all, Jesus is wanting to blow on the embers of our hearts, to fan our faith into a roaring flame.

This week Rob continues our series, Small and Mighty, by looking at Matthew 16.1-12. At first glance, Jesus’ disciples thought he just wanted to tell them something about old yeast and bread – but that was never what Jesus had in mind. Instead, Jesus is set on trying to increase their faith, as he invites us to see him clearly, and casts our minds back to what he has already done. Because, you see, when we can see Jesus clearly, and remember what he has already done – we can continue to grow in our confidence and trust in him.

This week Rob Collis continues our series, Small and Mighty, by looking at Matthew 14.22-33, when Jesus walked on water and his disciple Peter got out of a boat to follow him. There are three times in this passage when it says Jesus does something ‘immediately” – as we look at this together, Rob traces these three “Immediately’s” of Jesus – as Jesus Immediately Sends, Immediately Speaks, and Immediately Saves.

This week Rob Collis begins our new series, Small and Mighty, by looking at Matthew 8.23-27, when Jesus calmed a storm at sea. As he unpacks this passage, he looks at the step of faith, the storm at sea, and the surprise by Jesus, as we are invited to place our small steps of faith into the hands of our mighty God.

Right now as a church, we’re needing to take some deep breaths. We’re about to embark on a season of change and transition as we get ready to change our service time. And maybe there are some other areas of our lives that are feeling gripped with change.

Amidst it all, we may feel uncertain about how things are going to turn out. In the feelings of uncertainty and change, we can have a tendency to begin to seize up, as we try to hold on to the things from the past – it’s a way of trying to protect ourselves from the pain of change.

In the midst of those feelings, Jesus invites us to come and take a deep breath, and rest in him. This week, Rob Collis preaches from Philippians 1.27-30, and helps us to hear the invitation to us to come and rest in Jesus, as we learn what it means to stumble towards grace.

This week, we are excited to welcome Bishop Mike Stewart, who preaches for us from Luke 5.1-11. In this passage, Jesus stood up on a boat to speak to a crowd – but after he taught, he wasn’t done. He then told Simon Peter and his friends to cast their fishing nets out into the deep, instructing them to fish at a time when it didn’t make any sense at all; but when they did what he said, they were overwhelmed with the catch!

As he unpacks this account, Bishop Mike invites us to consider how Jesus is inviting us to trust him, and how our church can ‘put our nets out into the deep’ as we seek to grow a caring community transformed by Jesus.

It’s been 2,000 years since Jesus walked on the earth, and our world is still talking about him! History has never let us forget that Jesus made an impact in this world – and lots of people have lots of different ideas about who he was. But who did Jesus actually say he was? There are eight times in the Gospel of John when Jesus said “I Am …” As a church, we’re spending time to explore and unpack what Jesus actually told us about himself.

This week Rob Collis finishes our series looking at the I Am sayings of Jesus, and preaches from John 8.30-59, where Jesus said, “Before Abraham was, I am.” As he unpacks this conversation, Rob points out that there are three times when Jesus says “Truly, truly, I say to you.” As he follows these three “trulys” – how to be truly free, how to be truly alive, and how Jesus is truly God – he helps us to pay attention to what Jesus says are the intellectually honest ways to respond to who he says he is.

This week Rob Collis preaches from John 8.12-20, where Jesus said, “I Am the light of the world.” As he unpacks Jesus’ claim, he explores three questions: What does Jesus claim? How did people react to Jesus’ claim? And what happens when Jesus shines his light?

This week, Rob Collis preaches from Luke 14.7-14. In our passage today, Jesus was sitting at a dinner table, and whenever Jesus came for dinner, things were never dull. This is the third time in Luke’s Gospel that Jesus has been invited to dinner at the home of a local religious leader. And every time he comes to dinner, Jesus makes things uncomfortable – he challenges the social conventions and the moral values of his hosts and fellow guests. As Rob unpacks this passage, he invites us look at three different things Jesus talks about at this meal: The place of honour, the path of humility, and the position of the host.

This week, we are excited to welcome Sean Love, who preaches from Acts 2.1-13. When the Holy Spirit came upon Jesus’ followers in Acts 2, it was a critical event that sets in motion everything that follows in the life of the Church. Without the coming of the spirit, there would be no prophecy, preaching, mission, conversions, or any worldwide Christian movement. But with the Spirit, the Church is empowered. The Holy Spirit launches witness, equips the apostles for their unique teaching role, he enables understanding in the listener, and highlights the salvation that comes only in the Lord Jesus.

This week, we are excited to welcome Lloyd Lee, who preaches from John 10.1-10, where Jesus says “I am the door.” We push on doors our whole lives, hoping to find ways forward in life. As Lloyd unpacks how Jesus is the door, the life, and here with us, he explores what it means for Jesus to be the door, and helps us to consider what doors we are trying to open in our own lives, and what Jesus’ claim means for us today.

This week, we are excited to welcome Sean Love, who preaches from 1 Samuel 16.1-23. When King Saul failed to listen to God and rejected his command, God called a young man called David to be the next king of His people, Israel. As Sean unpacks this passage for us, he invites us to see how David’s story fits into the bigger story of how God is at work in the world, as God sees his king, anoints his king, and sends his king into the world.

This week, we’re excited to welcome our own, David Song, as he preaches from John 6.24-59. David unpacks what it means for Jesus to be the bread come down from heaven for the life of the world, and helps us consider how to respond.

This week, Rob Collis preaches from John 14.6, where Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” No matter where we are on our journey with faith, this can feel like an uncomfortable saying – and we may wish Jesus had never said it! But before we try to dismiss it, or to try and forget that Jesus said this about himself, Rob invites us to spend some time seeking to understand what Jesus is saying about himself.

This week, we’re excited to welcome our own, David Song, as he preaches from John 6.1-23. He unpacks two of the important ‘signs’ that Jesus performed in his ministry – when he fed the 5000 and walked on water – and helps us see how Jesus’ signs are in continuity with how God moved in the Old Testament, and show us that Jesus is the herald of the new exodus.

This week, Rob Collis preaches from John 11.25-26, and explores what Jesus meant when he said, “I am the resurrection and the life” by looking at three questions: How does Jesus come to us? Who does Jesus say he is? And how will we respond?

The season of Lent is kind of like going on a pilgrimage. It’s a season of 40 days, patterned on how Jesus spent 40 days wandering and fasting in the wilderness – and as Lent leads us towards the cross and the empty tomb, it carves out space in our hearts to long for Jesus’ presence. During the time of the Old Testament, God’s people would go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem three times a year – but they didn’t make that journey in silence! They turned to the Psalms to create a road trip playlist of songs for the journey.

This week, we are pleased to welcome back Jude Johnson from the Artizo Institute, as he preaches from Psalm 124. This Psalm is a song of remembering, which invites us to remember how God has delivered us in the past, bless his goodness, and declare and trust in his faithfulness as we continue on our journey of following after him.

This week, Rob Collis preaches from Psalm 123. It’s been said that this psalm isn’t so much a song as much as it is a deep, deep sigh. It’s a sigh, and a prayer, that is longing for mercy. But Rob shows us that this prayer and sigh for mercy also takes us on a three-stage journey – as God’s mercy takes us from oppression to freedom to service.

This week, we are pleased to welcome back Aberdeen Livingstone from the Artizo Institute. Aberdeen preaches from Psalm 122, and invites us to discover the joy we find on our journey. As we join in singing this song, it leads our hearts to start anticipating the destination as we continue travelling towards the cross and the empty tomb.
