So You’re a Christian? – An Ancient Creed for a Confusing World #2 - One God, the Father…

In a world of hot takes, outrage, and endless opinions, it’s easy for faith to get pulled off-centre. This Lent we’re turning down the noise and going back to the basics. 'So You’re a Christian? – An Ancient Creed for a Confusing World' is an eight-part series through the Nicene Creed—core beliefs that keep Jesus at the centre when everything else is competing for our allegiance. We’ll walk from creation and the unseen realm to salvation and the Spirit, then through the cross on Good Friday and into Easter hope: resurrection and the life of the world to come.

Christmas Eve 2025 - God With Us

On Christmas Eve, we reflect on one of the greatest mysteries of all: God becomes human. In Jesus, God chooses closeness over distance and steps into the ordinary, often messy realities of our world so we discover what it truly means to be human in a new way. The Christmas story shows that God does not remain distant or detached, but lives with us—right where life happens. And in that nearness, God changes us. God with us, in our mess, forms us to become more like Jesus.

The Scandal of Christmas #4 - Uriah's Wife

Before angels sang or shepherds knelt, Matthew began the Christmas story with a list of names — a family tree tangled with failure and grace. The faithful and the faithless, the shamed and the forgotten. Their stories are raw and imperfect—yet God includes every one of them on purpose. That’s The Scandal of Christmas: Jesus didn’t come to avoid our brokenness; he entered it to heal us. Christmas isn’t a story of perfection—it’s the story of a God who stepped straight into the mess to redeem it. That same grace that ran through Jesus’s family tree is still at work today, as God continues his mission to heal the world and invites us to join him.
