Ecclesiastes 5 - Beth Hoy
This week Beth continued our series in the book of Ecclesiastes by looking at chapter 5, where 'the Teacher' challenges our attitude and expectations on money and wealth. The teacher declares that it is neither good or bad to be wealthy or poor, in both circumstances money can become an obsession and give false hope of security and happiness. Instead we are told to accept our 'lot' in life and do our best to enjoy the blessings that God has given us today.

Workshop Special: Testimony with Bee Scott
Story telling can be a powerful tool. It can help non-Christians understand how Christ is relevant to their life. It can help other Christians be spurred on in their faith and get to know God in new ways. We all have a story. As Christians we all have stories of God's goodness, a moment or a time where God has called, challenged or blessed us. So what do we do with these stories? How can we use them? During this workshop, Bee led us to think about why we share testimony and showed us how we can ...

Moral Imagination - Llewelyn Hoy
This week Llewelyn continued our 'Growing Wisdom' series, exploring what he calls Moral Imagination. Moral imagination is the ability to imagine what a right or wrong response is to any given situation. A moral imagination immersed in the search for God’s will and wisdom enters God’s story to imagine what a situation would be like if heaven and earth were united in that place. Llewelyn looked at why the Bible uses riddles, poetry, stories and parables and how these things appeal to us on a deepe...

Growing Down in Wisdom - Llewelyn Hoy
This week Llewelyn brought us a message exploring the second aspect of the Wisdom Cycle: Growing Down . Likening growing down in wisdom to a tree being planted in a garden. Llewelyn has left us the following questions to reflect on this week: How do you read the Bible? Can you relate to the Theological dictionary, moral handbook, or devotional self-help book?

Spirit Drawn & Spirit Led - Beth Hoy
This week Beth continued our 'Growing Wisdom' series, exploring Wisdom as being both Spirit drawn and Spirit led. As we walked through the story of Moses and the burning bush in Exodus 3, we reflected on the importance of Moses noticing the work of God and being drawn into His presence, and then his decision to pivot from being drawn to being led through his response of fear and humility as he realised the one who had drawn him. Beth leaves us with the following questions to reflect upon this we...

Wisdom & How to Get It - Llewelyn Hoy
This week as we continued our Growing Wisdom series, Llewelyn explored the question, 'What is wisdom and how do I get it?' He introduced a new facet of wisdom, "know-how", and how in biblical thought, wisdom is related to skill and to the question of 'how?'. Wisdom at its broadest and most profound sense is about how to be human. Reading from Genesis 1-3, we looked at how to be human is to be the image of God and that God is the source of all wisdom. Llewelyn has left us with the following quest...

Wisdom as the Tree of Life - Beth Hoy
This week Beth launched our new sermon series ‘Growing Wisdom’. Reading from the parable of the wise man and the foolish man in Matthew 7, we leaned into the analogy of a tree with strong roots. Wisdom is like having deep spiritual roots. It allows us to internalise the good things of God and be formed and grown by it, this is how we produce spiritual fruit. In this upcoming series we will be exploring the ‘what, why and how’ of biblical wisdom, and seeking to develop the skill of internalising ...

Be a Light - Bee Scott

Reading from Matt 5:14-16 we looked at how God is calling each of us to be a light in the community. You do not have to be an evangelist or an extrovert or anything other that what God has made you to be to serve Him and be a light in the community. Do you feel confident to share a testimony? How would you explain the gospel in conversation? How can the church better ...
