Zechariah’s Song || Delle Matthews|| Luke 1:67-79
Have you ever thought – what I’ve done is too bad. Unforgivable. Irredeemable? Well simply put. You’d be wrong. With Christmas just around the corner, here’s your reminder that Jesus is our one true hope, and that nothing can separate us from the love …
Mary’s Song || Joel Snibson || Luke 1:46-56
It can be hard to see from our 2000 year of removal from the birth of Jesus, but his coming was the start of a revolution. Like all good revolutions, this one had an anthem in song: Mary’s song, that we find in Luke.

Hannah’s Song || Tim Johnson || 1 Samuel 2:1-10
Today marks the start of Advent, a season of quiet anticipation for Christmas. Maybe not so quiet these days, as seasonal creep brings Christmas carols earlier and earlier, and pre-Christmas catchups mount. But as a church, we’re trying to make space f…
Hope || A Weary World Rejoices || Luke 1:26-38

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.
