At the heart of every Christian story is peace, power and purpose. (John 20:19-31)

The Resurrection is the cornerstone of our faith and the basis for the Church’s witness to the world. (John 20:1-18)

The shocking reality of Jesus and his death should change us – to believe, to speak, and to act. (John 19.17-42)

Real power is not found in the control and rule of others, but in wilful submission to God. (John 19:1-16)

The real question today, the life changing, life making, life shaping question is not what is truth, but who is truth? (John 18:28-40)

It is in Christ and through the conviction of the Holy Spirit that we can identify, repent, receive forgiveness and find healing for the sin that so often bubbles to the surface as the undesirable behaviours that embarrass us. Behaviours that we try in vein to fix and fight in […]

It is our unity on display that will convince the world that God loves us. And if the world is convinced that God loves us, then that means they have also been convinced that God is real and that the story we proclaim about Jesus is true. (John 17:20-26)

There is no higher calling, no higher purpose than to live a life that glorifies God. (John 17:1-5)

To take heart, is to take courage, it is a command and a promise. It is a promise because the one commanding us to take heart is the same one who will give us a heart that can have courage. (John 16:16-33)

Without the Spirit of God, we allow the world to define sin, righteousness and judgement with its laws. Laws that are forever changing, forever increasing in number and laws that we have no hope of truly keeping. (John 15:26-16:15)
