4th Feb 2026 Recap: Vision Sunday A big thank you to all who made it to our Vision Sunday Services on the weekend, and to all who joined online or caught up since! More importantly, thank you for being the kind of church who wants to be part of a movement, as we join together on mission with the God who is on mission. If you weren't able to make it on Sunday and haven't had the chance to yet, the message portion of Sunday's Service has been uploaded separately for your conv

28th Jan 2026 Let's Go! We are about to tick over to the month of February, also known as the official start of the church calendar year. Most people are back from holidays, students are heading back to school or uni, and the normal weekly rhythms of home life are taken up for a new year. On the church front, our regular church ministry programs resume for a new year with fresh vision, plans and added new leaders. And we launch passionately towards the things of God together

21st Jan 2026 Eternity from Johnny For about three decades, Arthur Stace wrote the word Eternity on the pavements of Sydney. He had first been captured by the word in a sermon at his church, Burton Street Tabernacle, a Baptist church in Darlinghurst. The sermon was by an evangelical preacher, John Ridley, who said, “Eternity! Eternity! I wish I could sound, or shout, that word to everyone in the streets of Sydney. Eternity!” Arthur thought to himself, 'perhaps I could write i

14th Jan 2026 Pursue Prayers for a New Year from Travis I love nerding out on statistics to do with church life and health (especially ours!). One of the stats that stood out from last year's NCLS report, is that 9 in 10 people who filled in our survey last year said that they experienced personal spiritual growth and transformation over the past 12 months. 90%!! And when asked about what our church should prioritise in the coming 12 months, the top priority by a substantial

7th Jan 2026 New Year, Renewed Rhythms from Travis It is a new year, HAPPY NEW YEAR to each of you! It is also the time where many rethink their rhythms and habits that they desire to build into their life in the coming year. Looking back on my own life, I know that some Januarys have involved bold declarations of gloriously ambitious "new year's resolutions"... that then turn out to be embarrassingly short-lived. Oops! In other years though, I can look back on deliberate shi

31st Dec 2025 2025: A Year of Pursuing Jesus Together As 2025 makes way for 2026, we want to give an enormous PRAISE GOD and share a heartfelt THANK YOU for an incredible year together!! At the beginning of 2025, we set the theme of 'Pursue' over the year as a church from Philippians 3:12-14. Our heart and hope was to see a year of pursuing Jesus - both individually and collectively - and taking hold of all that he has for us. It flowed from the faith-fuelled conviction t

17th Dec 2025 Prayer for Bondi from Johnny "The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:5 On Sunday night, Jewish communities around Australia and across the world gathered to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah. Yet in Bondi, the celebration was turned to tragedy as two gunmen opened fire of civilians in an act of terror and hatred. I know we are all reeling as we seek to come to terms with what has happened. Many of us have seen footage
