Sermons

Ever had a job you’d never want to do again—boring, bitter, and backbreaking? Church eldership is the opposite: hard work, yes, but joyful, privileged service, strengthened by God’s grace and centred on Christ, who is the same yesterday, today and forever. Come hear how Hebrews 13 calls us to imitate our leaders’ faith by following their lead, submitting to their care, and praying for their strength.

As 2025’s floods recede, Psalm 124 roars a New Year’s truth: “If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now say!” From survival against devil’s roar to praise for snares broken and help in our weakness, discover how God’s presence bookends our trials for 2026 hope. Join us Sunday: Self sinks, but the Lord stands—where will you look when waters rise?

As 2025 draws to a close, we stop to ask: what’s changed for you this year? Hebrews reminds us that while life moves fast and we change constantly, Jesus never does — He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Join us this Sunday as we explore how His unchanging grace frees us to live changed lives that bring Him glory in 2026 and beyond.

Join us for our 2025 Christmas service.

Join us as we reflect on the recent tragedy at Bondi Beach, and how to process such evil and sorrow before the God who cannot be shaken. From Hannah’s prayer in 1 Samuel 2, we will see how the incomparable God overturns human pride, lifts up the weak, and brings life through His anointed King. As Christmas approaches, we will fix our eyes on Jesus Christ, the Rock who brings real comfort now and sure hope beyond death.

This Sunday afternoon, join us as we explore what the Bible teaches about our eternal destiny. From the sobering reality of hell as eternal separation for those who reject Christ, to the glorious hope of heaven as eternal restoration with God, to the all-important day of judgment—this message will challenge and encourage you. Discover how the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only path to a secure eternal home. Don’t miss this life-changing truth that determines where we spend forever!

Ready for a challenge? Life, like endurance sport, is about pushing through when your muscles ache and your mind says “quit.” Join us as we see what happens when you fix your eyes on Jesus, throw off what holds you back, and run your faith race with a team cheering you on. Curious if you have what it takes to finish well, and who’s waiting for you at the finish line? Come and find out—the race is already marked out for you.

We explore how faith looks to God’s future promises while shaping our lives today. Hebrews 11 reminds us that true faith is confident trust—grounded in Christ, not ourselves. Are you seeking assurance in what’s unseen? Does faith help you persevere and obey, even when the outcome is unclear? Consider how God’s gift of faith leads us to endure, anticipate, and belong to His greater story.

As we celebrate 65 years together, how has God shown His faithfulness in the ups and downs, and what blessings might we have missed in the tough seasons? Psalm 28:8–9 urges us to ask boldly: Where is our strength truly found, and who carries us when we can’t walk on our own? What new risks, conversations, and ministries is God calling us to embrace as a church? Are we ready to give Him the credit, pray big prayers, and follow wherever the Shepherd leads next?

Stay the course. Jesus, our High Priest, has opened the way, so let’s run to the finish with confidence and faith. How are you drawing near to God with a sincere heart this week, and what’s holding you back from living boldly? Are we spurring one another on and meeting together as Hebrews urges, or have we settled for comfort and coasting? The warning is real: don’t trample grace by drifting away, but instead press on: what does true confidence look like for us as a church?

We may not see the battle, but the spiritual fight is real. Ephesians 6 warns us of a fierce battle against unseen forces—angels and demons—and the good news is that, through Christ, we already know who wins. This afternoon, we’ll explore how to stand firm, know our enemy, and rely on God’s strength to fight the battle we’re in.

What if your future inheritance depended on a will — not just for your earthly possessions, but for your eternal life? Hebrews shows us that Christ’s death is the ultimate “will,” securing, completing, and perfecting our salvation. Today we’ll see how the new covenant guarantees that what Christ began for us is finished and unshakable.
