Jesus has risen from the dead. Eternal life is available for all of us. But how can we be sure? Jesus wasn’t in the tomb on Easter. Jesus was with people after the resurrection. Seeing Jesus transformed people. Stephen encourages us that we can trust Jesus because He has risen. Our sin has been dealt with and the risen Jesus is proof, and as a result we can have resurrection life too.

Luke 24:1-8

Simon reflects on the significance of Good Friday, and how the suffering that Jesus endured was no accident. A willing sacrifice, a choice to suffer and pay the ransom we deserve. Jesus’ suffering is foundational to our faith and when we respond and are moved by the cross we are brought home to God. This was the only way to save those He loved.

Mark 15:1-15

The cross rescues us, the cross redeems us, and the cross restores us. Heading into Holy Week, Simon explores the fullness of life given to us through the Cross.

Colossians 1:91-4

Emilie takes us through Palm Sunday, and how expectation didn’t meet reality. None of what happened adds up, and yet Jesus is King. A humble King. A Saviour King. He did this for us, he wants you and was willing to humble himself, die on a cross, rise from the dead, all because of His love for you.

Our response is to carry the king. We have been entrusted to carry Jesus’ message to the world and tell others that Jesus’ news is always good.

John 12:12-19

If we want to consistently host the glory of God in our everyday lives, then we must be willing to let go of our pride and dignity just like David. Will takes us on a deep dive into God’s glory and how it doesn’t rest on status, success or reputation.

Psalm 24:1-10

The cross is like a diamond, there are many different facets to be encountered. Stephen helps us understand the transforming power found in the cross and how it empowers us to be compassionate, forgive and have hope through what Christ did for us.

Luke 23:26-43

Jesus’ death on the cross was a once and for all sacrifice. Not a temporary one. We have been set free for freedom itself. Emilie unpacks Hebrews 9:11-15 and helps us understand the freedom we have been given through Christ.

Hebrews 9:11-15

Emily unpacks Mark 5 and helps us understand the healing power of the Cross. In Mark we see a beautiful example of Jesus meeting us in our pain. He’s not put off by what we’ve done or what we’re going through and He provides us with peace that we can share with this broken world.

Mark 5:21-34

Have you received the new life that is offered by Jesus? Dan helps us understand that the most miraculous work of the Holy Spirit is turning death to life. We must then take the living water and share it.

John 4:1-15

What does it look like to be a people who postures ourselves daily in seeking the presence of God?

We see in 1 Kings 8 how Solomon calls on the Lord for he knows that there is no point without him. Because of the gift of Jesus, this is something we can do daily. Seeking more of his presence and responding to Him coming close into our lives, our church and our community.

Will you call on the Lord’s presence today?

1 Kings 8: 27 - 30, 1 Kings 8: 59 - 61

Your attitude to money is one of the most important things about you. It reveals your priorities, your hopes, your fears, your desires, and your longings. Jesus reminds us that if we seek first his kingdom, then all of these things will be given to us.

Matthew 6:19-33

The Lord’s hand is with you. As Stephen unpacks Acts 11 we learn about the ways in which God was moving in the Church of Antioch and how it impacts us today. How might we see God move powerfully in our churches and communities?

Acts 11: 19-26

Sometimes in life it can feel as if worldly fear can take over and push God out of the picture. However, the more we fill our hearts and minds with the awe of who God is and his love for us, the less space there is for these fears to land.

An antidote for worldly fear is fear of the Lord, recognising his holiness, power, majesty, and grace grips us with deep and overwhelming reverence for him.

Matthew 28:1-10

Emily helps to remind us that the only way to cling to what is good, is to be led by the love of Jesus. Taking a look at Romans 12:9-13 we see that the practical outworking of this love is kindness and hospitality towards others.

Love really does go first. Owen unpacks Romans 12:9-13 and helps us see that love is a game changer. Through effort and sacrifice, and growing in love - we can come together as the family of Christ. What’s behind your scaffolding?

What is this ‘Love in action’ that Paul talks about in Romans 12:9-13?

Mark describes this as a covenant love, a faithful love, a love which reflects God’s love for us. It’s a constant love, it’s practical, honouring and it’s devotional.

We’re called to share our very hearts with people and that can be demanding. In order to action this type of love fully we need to be filled by the Holy Spirit who restocks and replenishes us, lighting the fire for this sincere love in our hearts.

Our society is inwards focused, however in the kingdom of God, the focus is no longer on ourselves, but on others. The hallmark of a life transformed by Jesus is their generosity & humility. Simon reminds us that God is a gift giver and that we in turn are to use those gifts for others.

Romans 12:6-8

We all have different gifts. Why? Because God loves us, he’s gracious and gives them to us. Emilie reminds us that the gifts we’re given are not for our own benefit but for the formation and expansion of God’s kingdom here on earth.

Romans 12:6-8

You are given gifts from God, but how are you using them? Speaking from Romans 12:6-8, Nemi encourages us to use our God given gifts to bless others and not for ourselves.

Romans 12:6-8

Who am I? Who are we? Paul poses two big questions in this passage which help us discover who we are in the light of our ultimate standard Jesus. Mark unpacks how we all have a unique function, bringing glory to Jesus’ Body - his Church.

Romans 12:3-5
