Romans 15:23–33 gives us a picture of gospel partnership that goes far beyond supporting ministry from a distance. Paul has a vision for the gospel reaching as far as Spain, and invites the Roman Christians to join him through prayer, giving, practical support and sharing in the cost and struggle of gospel ministry. The gospel […]

Paul’s vision is of a church filled with the Holy Spirit and overflowing with hope – holding out the gospel to those who have not yet trusted in Jesus.

In a church made up of many different people with different convictions on culture and practices, Paul addresses the basis for unity with a call to humility and even foregoing of certain freedoms for the sake of others.

Brett explains from Romans 13:8-14 how God’s mercy, together with the expectation of Christ’s return, transforms our sincerity, our integrity and our love for others.

This week, we come to chapter 13 of Romans and the question of how Christians ought to live under the authority of the state. In Paul’s day, Christians lived under one of the most oppressive and hostile empires in history, and yet we see him call for the church to live in submission to the […]

Last week we saw how God’s mercy transforms our worship, our thinking and our service. This week in Romans 12:9-21, we will see how that same mercy transforms our relationships with one another and with the world.

Our whole lives are an act of worship in response to all God has done for us.

In our final block of teaching in our multi-year Romans series we begin by looking at a large central section that concerns how Israel fits into God’s plan and how God has been and will be faithful to his promises.

The fruit of the Spirit is the visible evidence of the invisible life of Christ within us: it is not something we manufacture by effort, but the gracious work of God’s Spirit as we abide in Christ. These Christ-like qualities both assure us of God’s transforming work and bear witness to the world, calling us […]

This week we celebrate ToonieKids Week as we discover why Jesus is the Boss of the Cross.

This Sunday we are starting a three-week series on “Memory Verses to live by” and we begin by looking at Romans 1:16-17. Brett will remind us that the gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. We will how this gospel power changes our lives, bringing assurance, confidence and courage.

We start a new series this week, Speaking the Story of God, where we’ll explore the gospel story so that we can tell ourselves and others a better story than the ones our world offers. We begin by looking at the hero of the story — Jesus — and how Paul engaged the stories and […]

As we explore the beginning of God’s story and discover why Jesus is its hero, we’ll also examine the competing stories our world tells about meaning, work, and purpose—and see how Jesus fulfils our deepest longings.

This week we continue our series on God’s story and Brett will talk about the “Dark Day” in Genesis 3:1-24 and how the darkness affects the world today. All of us struggle with our own sin and the sins of others. How do we respond to evil? How do we overcome this darkness? We will […]

Judgement is taken care of in Jesus which gives Christians hope and peace even as we wait through suffering. There is no other hope that comprehensively resolves dark days.
