James says, “Faith without deeds is dead.” But doesn’t the Bible say we are saved by faith alone?  How are we to make sense of this? Join us as we look at one of the most debated and misunderstood passages of scripture.  As we unpack this, we will be answering the question: What kind of faith saves?

James pulls no punches: if we belong to our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, mercy must mark us. We’ve received mercy at the cross—Jesus moved toward people like us who had nothing to offer him. But we still slip into favouritism and cliques, quietly deciding who is “worth” our time. James calls that what it is: sin against the royal law to love our neighbour as ourselves. One day, mercy and judgment will meet— and in Jesus, mercy triumphs over judgment. Join us this Sunday at 9.30am as we see how the mercy we’ve received in Christ must reshape the way we see and treat each other.

People say, “All roads lead to heaven,” and it sounds generous… until you realise some of those roads flatly disagree with each other. In John 14 Jesus doesn’t shrug and offer to be one spiritual path among many; he looks his friends in the eye and says, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” This Sunday night we’re going to poke at the idea that “it doesn’t really matter what you believe” and ask whether that’s kind, or just comfortable. We’ll also see why Jesus being the only way isn’t bad news for the world, but very, very good news for people like us. John 14:6  “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6 NIV)

Green‑slip time for the Christian life: in James 1, God puts our tempers, tongues and ‘religion’ up on the hoist to expose self‑deception—and to change us by his word, not just hand us a checklist.

Today we look at James 1:12-18 where James shows us two kinds of births that lead to two very different results. Join us as we find out the right way to see temptations.

Trials feel like pointless interruptions, but James says they’re actually God’s gym to grow us up in Christ. Today we’ll see why, if God’s judgment has already fallen on Jesus at the cross, the trials we face now can never be His punishment but His fatherly training. Come and hear how the risen Jesus turns even your hardest seasons into a pathway to the “crown of life.”

Tonight we continue our topical series on the Top 10 Objections to Christianity. We look at the objection: “Christianity Is Irrelevant.”

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.

The first in our new series: The Top 10 Objections to Christianity! Today we think about the following questions: Does belief in God require blind faith? Has science made God unnecessary? Is there real evidence that God exists? If God does not exist, nothing else really matters. But if He does… everything changes.

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.

In this sermon Murray takes us up the third hill of Ecclesiastes: The first hill – life’s hard The second hill – life’s good The third hill – life’s about God 1. Remember God before its too late (12:1-8) 2. Listen to God because his words give life (12:9-12) 3. Fear God because that’s what matters most (12:13-14)

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.

We look at two very different mountains – Sinai and Zion. One reveals God’s terrifying holiness, and the other welcomes us in through the blood of Christ. When the cosmic shaking of the world comes … only one kingdom remains unshakeable. Come and hear why we must not refuse His voice, but worship God with thankfulness, reverence, and awe.

We continue through Hebrews, looking at what God says about hardship and discipline in Hebrews 12.

This Sunday afternoon, join us as we explore what the Bible teaches about our eternal destiny.

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!
