In John 14 Jesus continues to prepare his disciples for his imminent departure, via the cross. They are thrown into turmoil as they process what he has said about leaving them for a place they cannot go. He helps to set their hearts at rest and shows them that in his father's house are many rooms, but there is no room for FOMO (the fear of missing out).
As we begin the season of Lent we're joining Jesus in John's Gospel for his last day on earth before he is crucified. As Jesus begins the last 24 hours of his earthly life, he does something scandalous; he takes on the lowest dirtiest job and washes his followers feet. Knowing that he would soon be betrayed to death, Jesus humbles himself, in an unimaginable way, to show it is essential to be cleansed, and changed by Him. This morning Zane Elliott will open John 13:1-30 and help ...

This year we are looking at three Christmas promises which centre on prophecies in Isaiah and how Jesus fulfils them. As we welcome guests and visitors for a service of Carols and Cake we'll be thinking about God's promise of true rest, in the perfect kingdom in Isaiah 11:1-9, and Matthew 13:31-35.
This year we are looking at three Christmas promises which centre on prophecies in Isaiah and how Jesus fulfils them. Today we consider the wonderful promise of a perfect king in Isiah 9:1-7.

The third promise in chapter 11 describes him as the Spirit-anointed king who is qua...
In a season of indulgence, we are thinking about temptation, and how despite what the advertising gurus want us to think, it isn't a trivial matter.

As we come to the end of the series in Habakkuk: From Fear to Faith, Zane Elliott shows us Habakkuk's astounding response to certain judgement and calamity: He sings! Confident God will keep His promises, Habakkuk’s song rises and falls like a symphony of three movements, each with its own emotion, all telling one great story. In this sermon we’ll see a: i) A movement of trust v.2 ii) A movement of God’s power vv.3-16 iii) A movement of delight vv.17-19

Faithful people should i) be disturbed - God’s people should be rocked by injustice. ii) Be honest - bring those fears to God himself and iii) Be astounded - God does act to br...
