We’ve all heard that the kingdom of God is like a mustard seed—small beginnings, big results. But what if that’s not actually the point?

What if prayer isn’t about convincing God to listen? In Luke 11, Jesus tells a strange story about a neighbour who refuses to help in the middle of the night. At first glance, it sounds like a lesson about persistence—keep knocking until God finally answers. But a closer look reveals something deeper.

This isn’t just a comforting story about being rescued. It’s a disruptive story about a God whose love defies social norms, economic logic, and religious expectations.

In this first message of our Parables of Grace series, we revisit one of the most familiar stories Jesus ever told—the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37). But what if we’ve been asking the wrong question?

In this final message of our If/Then series through Ephesians, we unpack Paul’s famous “armour of God” passage — and discover it’s far less about spiritual aggression and far more about communal resilience, subversive grace, and the way of peace.

In this message, we begin a four-week journey through Ephesians by sitting in the if: a bold vision of Jesus, a high Christology, and a radical redefinition of chosen, predestined, grace, and peace set against the backdrop of the Roman Empire’s gospel of “victory.”

In this message, we explore Paul’s surprising approach to spirituality at Mars Hill in Acts 17. Instead of debate, domination, or precision, Paul begins with common ground—quoting poets, honoring spiritual curiosity, and trusting that God meets people even in their confusion.

From smartphones in our pockets to bricks in the story of the Tower of Babel, the question isn’t whether technology is good or bad—but whether we are using it creatively, or allowing it to use us.

In this Advent reflection on Luke 2, we explore Simeon’s song (Nunc Dimittis) and what it teaches us about peace, waiting, generosity, and faith in an unfinished world. Christmas isn’t about getting everything we want—it’s about becoming the kind of people who pass hope forward.

In this Advent sermon, we explore the second canticle of Luke’s gospel—the Benedictus, the prophetic song of Zechariah. Before he could sing, Zechariah had to face something deeper than disbelief: the fear that God had forgotten him. And maybe that’s a fear many of us hold quietly during the Christmas season.

The Binding of Isaac is one of the most troubling stories in all of Scripture — but what if we’ve misunderstood the test all along? In this sermon we explore the God who sees, the God who tests, the fallout of Abraham’s choices, and the second question we often miss.

This isn’t a story about “those people.” It’s a story about us—about power, justice, hospitality, and the God who is far more patient and gracious than we expect. Join us as we revisit Sodom and Gomorrah through the lens of Abraham’s trust, God’s character, and the surprising grace hidden in a hard text.

Explore the moment Abraham begins to trust God after failure. Coming out of his mistakes in Egypt, Abraham faces a new test — will fear guide him again, or will faith take root this time? This story of Abraham and Lot isn’t just ancient history; it’s a mirror for our own journeys of grace, learning, and renewal.

In this opening message of our Big Promises, Small Steps series, we explore how the grand narrative of God’s reconciliation—what Paul calls “the healing of all things”—begins with a single family leaving home, not knowing where they’re going.

Through Thomas’ doubt, Philip’s confusion, and Jesus’ response of kindness, we discover a God who meets us not with precision or perfection, but with presence. This talk invites us to see that faith is not what we think—it’s what we trust ourselves to.

What does it really mean to be a peacemaker?

In this sermon from our Grounded series, we unpack Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

In this sermon from our Grounded series, we explore the story of the Emmaus Road in Luke 24, where the risen Jesus walks with two disciples who don’t recognize him at first. What if faith isn’t just about ideas or passion, but about centering everything on Jesus?

We all know him as “Doubting Thomas”—but is that really fair? In this teaching, we take a closer look. Thomas shows us that faith isn’t about certainty—it’s about trust, risk, and the courage to keep following Jesus even when we’re unsure. If you’ve ever wrestled with questions, wondered if doubt disqualifies you, or longed for proof that God’s promises are real—this message is for you.

Why do humans sing — and why has singing together been a part of human culture for as long as we can remember? In this talk, we explore the surprising science, deep history, and spiritual significance of song — both inside and outside the church.

As one of the most influential Old Testament scholars of our time, Brueggemann taught us how to read the scriptures not just for what they say, but for what they imagine—how they invite us to resist empires, lament honestly, and hope boldly.
