Learning to Rest   23 July 2023   The old saying is "Let go and let God".  The problem is that saying is easier than doing.  Charlotte Bures talks about the need for rest, and how we can take ourselves to that place when it is not just an idea, but a regular reality in our lives.  Do you need more rest time?  This is the message for you.    

Compassion for Others  16 July 2023   Sometimes a life of sacrifice can be very challenging.  It causes us to reflect on what our motives and attitudes really are.  How do we reconcile our motives with the will of God for us?    

Caring for the Broken   9 July 2023 You don't need a degree in theology to know that caring for others, especially the broken, is from the heart of God Himself.  Sometimes it can be difficult to recognise the broken ... or is it?    

How to Care for Others in a Life Giving Way   2 July 2023   We all need help in life from time to time.  Sometimes it us that are there to give the help to others.  Can we do that without ego?  Is it possible to help others in a way that doesn't set us up as the saviour, but as a loving friend or family instead?    

Cat Killing Curiosity   25 June 2023   The idea of 'faith' is quite appealing.  How do we turn faith from a theoretical or theological concept into every day reality?  What is God asking of us in a life of faith?  Pastor Joe tackles the implications in this confronting message.    

The Spirit of Adventure.  Reinventing Yourself   18 June 2023   Do you feel like a hamster on a treadmill, going around and around and around, but not getting anywhere?  Pastor Ashley has some advice and encouragement for us that will help us to see a bigger perspective.  Sometimes it is not what we see that matters most, but what we don't see.    

Weed Whacking   11 June 2023   Do you ever find that your view of yourself is defined by the difficult things in life?  Are you a product of the things you do and experience?  Is your worth calculated by how effective and successful you are?  Pastor Mark Bettcher has some things to share about his own struggles and conclusions with these things.    

Freedom to Discover; Discovering to be Free   4 June 2023   We all want freedom.  For each of us, freedom means something different.  Freedom can be about what we have, or don't have.  What is a more perfect definition of freedom?  Pastor Matt helps to question our ideas of freedom, and to consider God's eternal perspective.    

The Purpose of Discipline   28 May 2023   Life can get tough.  Do you ever wonder why?  What's the purpose?  Is it God, satan or just the way this world works sometimes?  Pastor Joe takes a step back and helps us see beyond ourselves to the bigger, eternal picture.    

Even If He Doesn't   21 May 2023   Do you ever feel as though God has abandoned you, removed His hand of love and grace from your life?  If so, then you're not alone.  We know the theory, the theology, but our hearts grow tired and disheartened anyway.  Mel takes into the world of 'Even If He Doesn't .....', and helps us to see past what is in front of our faces to the bigger picture Christ has placed before us.    

Where is God when Bad Things Happen?   14 May 2023   Do you ever reach that point of frustration when you wonder if God is actually interested at all in your life?  Do you question His priorities because they don't seem to be for your 'good'?  Pastor Peter has some words of wisdom to help us rightly put things in focus.    

When God Asks for Faith  7 May 2023   When God goes missing, what do you do?  When it seems as though you've been left to the ravages of this world, how do you respond?  What is the appropriate response when we assess that the Lord has abandoned us, or we feel as though He is actually pushing us into trouble and testing?    

Rewards and Responsibilities of Family   30 April 2023   In this life we start with family, and learn to do life as family.  The same is true in God.  Our eternal calling is as children of God, brothers and sisters for eternity.  That's family.  What does it mean?  What should it mean to us in the here and now?    

Better Together   23 April 2023   There's an old saying that goes "two heads are better than one".  This saying is pointing to a biblical principle that we often forget - success and resolution are most often achieved when people work together to bring about a desired outcome.    

Every Member a Minister   16 April 2023   How does God want His church to function?  What is His plan for how we support and build His kingdom?  Pastor Matt delves into the richness of our relationships with others, and Christ, in this heart felt message.    

Easter Sunday   9 April 2023   The cross and resurrection of Jesus carry the means of forgiveness and true freedom.  How do we 'pass it on' to others?   

Who Is Your 'We'?   2 April 2023   We have people, and groups of people in our lives that we feel closely attached to.  Family, sports teams, work mates etc.  The question Pastor Joe asks us this week is - who are the people we call our own, and how does it compare with God's 'we'?
