Remember the Journey, Deut 1:1-8 & 19-46

There's a generation in Deuteronomy 1 who saw everything God did — the plagues, the Red Sea, bread in the desert — and still couldn't bring themselves to trust him when it really mattered. Andrew explores this ancient story and what it might have to say about the way we hold onto God's promises today, especially when life is messy, painful, and complicated.

The Hour Has Come, John 12:27-36

What does it mean that the cross is the "glory" of God? Andrew walks through John 12:27–36, where Jesus speaks about his coming death with stunning clarity — not as a tragedy, but as the decisive moment of all history. This message explores what the cross accomplishes and what it means for us to walk in the light.

Life Because of Jesus, John 11:1-45

What do we do when life feels out of control and death seems to have the final word? In John 11, Jesus reveals something extraordinary about himself through Lazarus' death and resurrection. Andrew explores how Jesus' identity as 'the resurrection and the life' changes everything about how we face uncertainty, grief, and our ultimate future.

Birthday Service, Matthew 9:35-10:8

As we celebrate our church's birthday we reflect on what would Jesus feel when he looks at Wellington? In Matthew 9-10, we discover Jesus' gut-wrenching compassion for those who are harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd. Andrew explores how the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, and what it means for us to pray, plant ourselves here, and partner in God's harvest field.
