Sermons from August 2026
It all belongs to Jesus (Geoff Snook)
Stewardship begins by recognising that Jesus is Lord over everything. We don’t own our lives or our possessions. We are faithful managers of what he has entrusted to us. Everything changes when we stop asking, What’s mine? and start asking, What has Jesus entrusted to me? From our money and possessions to our time, gifts and opportunities, every part of life belongs to him. Stewardship isn’t about giving God a percentage. It’s about living under the lordship of Jesus. You…

What is fasting, why do we do it and how can we begin to fast? (Brian Paris)
Fasting is saying I need food, but I need God more. It is not a formula to make God do what we want. We fast to seek God, to pray, to humble ourselves, and because we hunger for God. We are often hungry for food, but are we ever hungry for God? No matter where you’ve come from, you’ll find a spiritual home, great friends and a church family with us. Our church community is here to love people and…
Study Season – Wisdom in relationships (Rob Kawi)

You are part of something bigger (Geoff Snook)
Sometimes we can treat church as something a few people provide and everyone else attends. But Jesus is building ordinary people into a living church, and every one of us has a part to play. This message moves people from being consumers of church to participants in what Jesus is building. Our contribution begins with grace, takes shape in community, and points people to Jesus. What would this church become if everyone contributed the way I do? This question is…
Study Season – Wealth and worry (Kira Giles, Isaac Snook, Elena Beath, Jonte Hovenden

Dig up old wells: rediscover what God has already given you (Laura Snook)
In Genesis 26, Isaac reopened the wells his father had dug, uncovering life-giving water that had been there all along. This message explores how God may be inviting us to rediscover callings, gifts, dreams and foundations of faith that have become buried over time. Rather than always asking God for something new, perhaps he is placing a shovel in our hands and inviting us to uncover what he has already given. No matter where you’ve come from, you’ll find a…
