As bad news dominates our airwaves, Chris talks about how we can be people of the good news in the midst of crisis.

People of the Good News

Guest speaker Greg Trainor takes a look at the early ministry of Jesus in Luke 4, and what that teaches us about the proclamation, demonstration, and invitation to the Kingdom of God.

Gospel of Luke—Naturally supernatural

Speaking from Luke 9:10-11, Mandy highlights the way that Jesus was willing to lay down his own plans to follow after God's. Are you willing to let God interrupt you?

Gospel of Luke—Embracing the interruptions

Chris re-starts our Gospel of Luke series, taking a look at the challenging story of the rich young ruler, found in Luke 18. He unpacks two different threads that help us to understand why for Jesus, it's not about the money.

On Sunday, Chris shared our vision for the Evening Community in 2020. Listen in to find out about why we're not setting goals, why we don't believe we're supposed to go out and serve the community, and why we believe 2020 will be the year of harvest.

Ando rounds out our Sunday School Revisited series with a fresh take on Daniel 6—the story of Daniel in the lions' den. He explores questions around the historical accuracy of the biblical account (and what that means for us), as well as how our habits transform our inner life with God.

It turns out there's a lot more going on in the story of Jonah than we realise. And it's not a particularly happy ending either. Bonnie takes us through the story of Jonah and the whale, and reveals how it's a story that's all about building character.

In this series we're revisiting some classic Sunday school stories, and filling in some of the bits we might have skipped over as kids. Lucy kicks us off with a look at the battle of Jericho. In particular, she tackles the difficult question of why God would allow so much violence in the Old Testament.

In the midst of the worst bushfire season in living memory, we hit pause on our planned teaching series to stop and reflect on the current situation. What do the scriptures have to say about times of crisis? How are we supposed to be God's church in this situation? What are we doing to do, practically speaking, in response to this crisis?

You might have heard people talk about it... but what actually is this 'trinity' thing? Do we worship one God, or three (or neither, or both)? As we continue our advent series about the love of God, Andy explains the trinity, but more importantly, what that reveals about the way God loves us.

Love Came Down—Trinity

This advent, we're tracking through a series called Love Came Down—taking four nerdy bible words, and unpacking how they ultimately reveal the love of God. Chris kicks us off with a look at the biblical thread of covenant. Slides at https://bit.ly/nvc-covenant-talk

During our first ever Dinner Church, Chris gives us a message looking into the way Jesus did evangelism and how it often involved sitting round the dinner table.

The spiritual gift of hospitality

It can be really difficult to know how to respond when we come across someone in our world who is experiencing a time of suffering. So what is a sustainable, helpful, and (most importantly) Godly response to the suffering of others?

Walking with others through suffering

Following on from last week's more theoretical problem of pain, Lucy addresses the more immanent problem—how do we endure seasons of hardship in our lives? For the bible project video, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WYNBjJSYvE

Holding on to hope in suffering

Chris Gresham-Britt tackles the tough questions surrounding suffering. Why does God allow suffering? What does the bible say about suffering? How does Jesus’ death relate to our own experience of suffering?

Why does God allow suffering?
