Today we come to one of the most striking moments in Luke’s Gospel. A guilty man is set free, while an innocent man is condemned. It feels like a complete miscarriage of justice, and yet, is there more going on beneath the surface? As we look at Luke 23:1-25, we’ll explore this dramatic exchange and why it matters. What happened that day? And what might it mean for us?

By what authority are you doing these things?” That’s what the religious leaders asked Jesus after He drove out the merchants and started preaching in the temple. We look at why that question matters for us today.

Some see Jesus as hard and demanding — a King to fear, not to love. But in Luke 19 we meet a very different King. As Jesus rides into Jerusalem, He shows both power and compassion. He’s fully in control, yet weeping over those who will reject Him. This King uses His authority not to take from us, but to give His life for us. Today we’ll see that Jesus, our loving King, is worthy of our praise — the King who goes to the cross for our salvation and calls us to trust Him with every detail of our lives.

We’re great at focus—just ask our phones, jobs, or hobbies. But here’s the real question: what are we focused on? Today we’re in Luke 9, where Jesus “set his face” toward the cross. He didn’t treat saving us like a side project—and if he gave everything for us, following him can’t be just a hobby. Come discover what following Jesus really means.

Christmas Day service 2024!

2023 Christmas Day Service.

Young Adults Evening Service. We welcome Steven back to speak to us on the topic of money! How do we manage our money (regardless of whether we have a little or a lot!) in a way that glorifies our Lord?

Baptism of A van der Kolk. Gerald speaks about the importance of teaching our children, the next generation, about all God has done. We do not want to be like the Israelites, where generations quickly forgot how the Lord cared for them. We do this by teaching our children what is in the Bible, but then also by sharing how God has worked in our lives, so they may by God’s grace come to have a saving faith in Him.

The final part of a four part sermon series entitled ‘Christianity According to Jesus’. The account of the demon possessed man gives unique insight into how the evil one operates, and what his intention is with humanity. Jesus confronts the darkest of evil and transforms the most hopeless and irretrievable situations. Read ahead at Luke 8:26-39!

Young Adults Evening Service. A follow up to our four part ‘Christianity According to Jesus’ series. What’s the foundation of your life? This is a critical question, and we hardly ever consider it. Living ‘Jesus Shaped Lives’ requires not only hearing and believing, but also doing. Jesus demands ongoing change of behaviour. The question is: why would anyone do that? Read ahead at Luke 6:43-49!

The third of a four part sermon series entitled ‘Christianity According to Jesus’. Following Jesus means we enter a Kingdom of love: love that is radical and selfless. This love radically reorients how we treat other people, even those from whom we might typically recoil or despise.

The second of a four part sermon series entitled ‘Christianity According to Jesus’. When Jesus calls us to follow Him, He’s calling us to considerably more than a change of mind or beliefs. Sure, we start with what we believe about Him, but like His call to Levi, following Him means taking decisive action.

The first of a four part sermon series entitled ‘Christianity According to Jesus’. If we are to frame Christianity in the light of Jesus’ own teaching and life example, what would we start changing in our lives or in our church? If we’re going to follow Jesus now, we need to know why he came then. Jesus’ words in Luke 4 open our eyes to his core purpose.

The Good Samaritan is a well known parable, but why did Jesus tell it? Nathanael looks at the question that led to this parable, how Jesus answered and what our response should be.

Christmas Day 2022. In this sermon we spend time thinking about Simeon’s response to the coming of the Lord Jesus and we too get a sense of excitement as we contemplate the magnitude of God’s love to us.

This morning we are looking at the very last word of Jesus, which is… “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” These words have everything to do with our comfort!

The Shepherds are a well-known part of the Christmas story. But do we need them? What do they add to the story? What might we miss if they were not? Our sermon considers that as shepherds they point us to Jesus, the true and good shepherd. But they are also normal everyday people like all human beings who need the gospel. They heard the announcement of the angel and they responded in faith, in worship and in witness. If we have responded to Jesus for salvation, do we continue to respond to him in faith by living a life of worship and witness? Ultimately, the response of the shepherds showed that what the angels said was true. That indeed God had sent a saviour – his own son, who would save his people from sin. What does your life show? Is your life in every way a response to the baby born that day – Jesus who is Christ the Lord?

This moment on the road to Emmaus leads to a discovery for the disciples on their journey which changed their lives eternally. An understanding of who the man journeying with them and what it is that has happened can change our lives also. Jesus was raised to life, resurrected – and for those who believe this, life is forever changed.

In this first part of 2 sermon’s, we consider what the bible has to say about worry. Whether long term or short, whether significant or even insignificant, worry is weighty. Worry can consume us, it can change how we think and feel and act, it can paralyse us, it can limit and reduce our lives in a way which very little else can. And it is something that affects so many people. we worry about many things but likely they all fall into 2 categories – something we want to happen and doesn’t or something we do not want to happen that might. Yet, God in the bible says to us, Do not Worry! How can this be so?

Reaching the end of one year and preparing for the next, we naturally look back as well as forward? How do we assess the year gone by? What has been good, challenging, beneficial, what have you learned? What would you like to change moving forward? This time of year is a good time to take stock. Do you ever seek to do this kind of thinking spiritually? Have I grown in certain areas of my life as a Christian? I look back and think of trials I have faced – what did I learn from them? Did I learn anything from them? Have there been blessings and joys? What can I give thanks and praise to God for over the past year? What might I like to change? Looking at the account of Zacchaeus we consider how being with and meeting Jesus brought a change in his life. We similarly need to be with Jesus so as to understand our new identity from which will come new behaviour and attitudes.

So many people live a life of ease avoiding the hard questions – the ponderings. They don’t want to waste the mental energy on these questions, or they think it is all beyond them and so they do something else. The biblical writer of Ecclesiastes records that some people believe that we ought to eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die. Amazingly, the most important questions that we need to face are not faced at all. We might spend more time deciding on what takeaway to eat than to contemplate the big questions of life?

In the Christmas Carol, ‘O Holy Night’ we sing the words, ‘A thrill of Hope, A weary world rejoices.’ How true as we reach the end of the year 2021 is it to say, our world is weary! The carol says however that there is hope. As we consider the Biblical account of Christmas, we discover that Hope has come, Peace has come and Joy has come. Hope has a name, Peace has a name, Joy has a name and his name is Jesus!
