🗓️ 03 May 2026.
🎙️ Speaker: Luke Reed.
Two men walk into the temple to pray. One lists his achievements; the other can barely lift his eyes. In Luke 18:9–17, Jesus delivers a shocking verdict: it's the broken one who goes home right with God, and it's the children with nothing to offer who show us what the kingdom actually looks like.
This message is for anyone caught in ...
🗓️ 26 April 2026.
🎙️ Speaker: Sam Delfs.
Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. In this message from Luke 17:1–10, Sam Delfs unpacks what life in the community of Jesus actually looks like, and it's more honest, more demanding, and more beautiful than most of us expect.
From dealing seriously with sin, to extending radical forgiveness, to praying with genuine...
The Gospel of Luke – Following Jesus in Fragile Times (Luke 15)
🗓️ 19 April 2026 🎙️ Speaker: Nic Cassar 📖 Jesus & the Lost Things
A lost sheep. A lost coin. A lost son. In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories that together paint one of the most breathtaking pictures of God in the entire Bible. In this message, Nic unpacks what it means to be lost, what it looks like when God comes searching, and why the father's response to ...
The Gospel of Luke – Following Jesus in Fragile Times (Luke 13:18–30).
🗓️ 12 April 2026.
🎙️ Speaker: Luke Reed.
What if God’s kingdom is already at work, but not in the way we expect? In this week’s message, we explore Jesus’ pictures of the mustard seed, the yeast, and the narrow door in Luke 13:18–30. What seems small and easy to overlook carries surprising power to grow, spread, and transform.
This sermon is both hopeful an...
Easter Sunday – Luke 24:1–12 🗓️ 05 April 2026 🎙️ Speaker: Sam Delfs
What if the resurrection is not just a comforting idea, but the event that changes everything? In this Easter message from Luke 24:1–12, Sam Delfs explores the empty tomb, the first witnesses to the risen Jesus, and the question that still confronts us today: why do you look for the living among the dead?
With honesty and conviction, Sam points us to the risen ...
Looking Ahead 2026 (Part 2) - Luke 9:21-25 / Matt 11:28-30
🗓️ 29 March 2026
🎙️ Speaker: Nic Cassar
What does real spiritual growth look like in a fragile, distracted world? In this second Looking Ahead message, Nic reflects on Jesus’ call to discipleship and rest, and asks how we actually grow as followers of Christ.
Drawing on Luke 9 and Matthew 11, Nic explores the tension between surrender and rest, personal faith and shared ...
Following Jesus in Fragile Times (Luke 19:1–11)
🗓️ 22 March 2026 - Looking Ahead Sunday
🎙️ Speaker: Nic Cassar
What do Zacchaeus, a church vision Sunday, and Jesus’ call to faithful stewardship have in common? In this week’s message, Nic Cassar reflects on Luke 19 and the surprising grace of Jesus, who sees Zacchaeus and brings salvation into his home.
From that story, Lead Pastor Nic Cassar, opens up a wider challenge: if Jesu...
The Gospel of Luke – Following Jesus in Fragile Times (Luke 10:25–37)
🗓️ 15 March 2026 🎙️ Speaker: Nick Varady-Szabo
What if the question isn’t “Who is my neighbour?” but “How can I be one?” In this week’s message, we explore Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan and how it confronts our instincts to justify ourselves, draw boundaries, and keep love at a safe distance.
With the help of Mister Rogers’ famous invitation, “Won’t you...
🗓️ 08 March 2026
🎙️ Speaker: Nic Cassar
What does it look like to join God’s mission without pressure, hype, or hidden agendas? In Luke 9 and 10, Jesus sends the twelve and then the seventy-two to travel light, rely on hospitality, proclaim peace, and pray for healing as they announce the kingdom of God.
This message is for anyone who feels stuck on the sidelines of faith...
The Gospel of Luke – Following Jesus in Fragile Times (Luke 7:36–50). 🗓️ 01 March 2026. 🎙️ Speaker: Nic Cassar.
What happens when a “bad woman” walks into a religious man’s dinner party, breaks all the social rules, and pours out her grief at Jesus’ feet? In Luke 7:36–50, Jesus turns the whole room upside down, exposing self-righteousness and offering forgiveness that no one saw coming.
This message is for anyone who feels too fa...
Following Jesus in Fragile Times (Luke 7:1-10)
🗓️ 22 February 2026 🎙️ Speaker: Nic Cassar
In this week’s message, Nic Cassar explores Luke 7:1-10, where a Roman centurion approaches Jesus on behalf of a dying servant. An unlikely figure of faith, the centurion recognises Jesus’ authority without demanding proof, performance, or proximity - trusting that a single word is enough.
This passage invites us to consider what it means t...
🗓️ 15 February 2026
🎙️ Speaker: Phil Skinner
In this message reflects on Luke 5:1-11, where Jesus steps into an ordinary workday, meets tired fishermen with empty nets, and quietly changes the direction of their lives. Rather than beginning with certainty or confidence, this story unfolds in the middle of exhaustion, disappointment, and fragile faith.
Phil explores how Jesus meets people where they are, asks for trust that doesn...
🗓️ 08 February 2026
🎙️ Speaker: Luke Reed
This week, Luke Reed unpacks Luke 3 and the striking arrival of John the Baptist — God’s “think different” prophet who prepares the way for Jesus. In a world marked by political tension, corruption, and longing for change, John steps onto the scene as a voice crying out in the wilderness, calling people to repentance, integrity, and readiness for the coming King.
John The Baptist’s messa...
🗓️ 01 February 2026.
🎙️ Speaker: Nic Cassar.
This week we launch our new series in the Gospel of Luke: Following Jesus in Fragile Times. Nic introduces Luke’s carefully investigated, historically grounded account of Jesus — written so that we may know the certainty of what we’ve been taught. In a cultural moment filled with confusion, noise, and competing versions of Jesus, Luke invites us back to the source: the life, teachings...
🗓️ 18 January 2026
🎙️ Speaker: Andrew Sutherland
This week, Andrew Sutherland explores Psalm 19, a beautiful three‑part meditation on God’s revelation through creation, Scripture, and personal transformation. David’s ancient song reminds us that the heavens continually proclaim God’s glory, that God’s Word restores and renews us in ways nothing else can, and that true wisdom begins when we learn to see ourselves clearly in God’s...
Summer Psalms – Justice in the Psalms (Aboriginal Sunday)
🗓️ 25 January 2026 🎙️ Speaker: Sally Smith
As part of Aboriginal Sunday, Sally Smith explores the strong biblical theme of justice in the Psalms — a justice that goes far beyond punishment and reaches toward restoring dignity, equity, hope, and flourishing for all people. Drawing on passages like Psalm 101 and the broader teaching of the hebrew word mishpat (מִשְׁפָּט), S...
🗓️ 11 January 2026
🎙️ Speaker: Sam Delfs
This week, Sam Delfs (our new Church Planting Resident) unpacks Psalm 90, the only psalm attributed to Moses. In a prayer shaped by wilderness, funerals, struggle and divine faithfulness, Moses teaches us what it means to number our days — to live wisely, urgently, intentionally, and with eternity in view. Sam invites us to consider where we find our true home, how we magnify God in a wor...
🗓️ 04 January 2026 🎙️ Speaker: David Southern
This week, David Southern opens our Summer Psalms series by exploring Psalm 3 — a raw and honest prayer written by David in one of the darkest moments of his life. In a world filled with fear, uncertainty, and pressure, this psalm invites us to name our fears, recenter our identity on God, and discover a resilient, prayer‑forged hope. A powerful way to begin the new year.
