Waiting For A Priest || Joel Snibson || Hebrews 10:1-18
What’s better: a short-term fix, or a long-term solution? The ancient Israelites made sacrifice after sacrifice, but this was just a bandaid solution. The real, long-term solution is what they were waiting for.

Fix Our Eyes on Jesus || Faith in the Dark || Hebrews 12:1-3
The finale of our Faith in the Dark series looks at the high point of the book of Hebrews – a challenge to fix our eyes on Jesus. After spending 10 chapters pumping up Jesus (“How Good is Jesus??”) the author now encourages us to focus on Jesus, and ru…
Our Paths Illuminated || Faith in the Dark || Hebrews 11:29-40
Whether your faith is like a huge spotlight, or just a pocket torch, a little bit of light can illuminate dark places. Andi reminds us that faith, regardless of how small you might think yours is, can light up the way when we find ourselves in dark pla…
Belief in the Midst of Darkness || Faith in the Dark || Hebrews 11:17-28
Following God through Dark Times, when we can’t quite see the path in front of us can be immensely challenging. In this part of Hebrews, we see examples of Old Testament characters following God through their own dark times, without the knowledge of Je…
Blind Belief || Faith in the Dark || Hebrews 11:1-16
How do you have faith in something you can’t see? Kirk launches our Advent series Faith in the Dark, exploring faith and hope. Starting from Hebrews 11, we’ll be thinking about having faith in darkness and putting our trust in Jesus this Christmas.
If You Were God, How Would You Reveal Yourself? || Christmas 2019 || Hebrews 1:1-3
If you were the all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present creator of absolutely everything, and you wanted to reveal yourself to the human race, how would you do it? God chose to do it by becoming a human himself. Sending Jesus down to earth, to live and…
Joyful Friday || Good Friday 2019 || Hebrews 12:1-3
Why is Good Friday called Good Friday? And how should we respond to the fullness of life that Jesus offers by sacrificing himself on the cross?
As Tim brings us the message he explores this very question: Could we even call it Joyful Friday? After all,…
Our Pattern of Life
We finish our series on Leviticus with an overview of what we have learned, and looking at 26:1-13, where God lays out the blessings and promises he gives to those who live with him and follow his ways. We see that Leviticus challenges our ‘idols’, the things that we place in our hearts instead of God, and offers a vision of a life that heals our relationships and our world.
Finding My Religion
This is the first in our new series called ‘The Heart of Life’, where we think about how we can put God at the centre of our lives in practical ways. We will be looking at the book of Leviticus, a strange and difficult book of the Old Testament, which is probably the least favourite book of the Bible for many Christians. But it contains many images and concepts that make sense of the coming of Jesus. Kirk Mackenzie starts off the series by looking at Hebrews 8, where the ’shadow’ of Jesus in the Old Testament is discussed.
