The Tectonic Hum of God
June 29, 20252 Kings 2:1-2, 6-14 In a world of seismic change, we’re called to set our face toward God’s Kingdom, letting go of the past and stepping into the new life Christ offers. But some things do not change: young and old alike are seeking truth, community, and the Spirit of God, and Jesus…

God the Verb
June 22, 20251 Kings 19:1-15a We often think of God as a noun but what if God is more like a verb—restless, reconciling, and fiercely alive—moving through the world and shaping the Church not as a building or institution, but as a people on the way? From Elijah’s whisper to Christ’s resurrection, God’s action calls…

The Story in Our Flesh
June 8, 2025Acts 2:1-21 The story of God isn’t something we just tell — but something written into our very flesh. Pentecost invites us to trace the wild thread from Sinai to the upper room, from law to love, from breath to Spirit — a story still catching fire in our lungs today. Because the church isn’t…

Becoming God’s Home
May 25, 2025John 14:23-29 What if home isn’t a place, but a presence? John invites us to explore Jesus’ promise to make his dwelling within us — not in temples or buildings, but in bodies becoming courtyards of grace. Resurrection, it turns out, isn’t somewhere we go; it’s something that unfolds within time, space, in you and…

The ‘Good’ in Good Friday
May 11, 2025Revelation 7:9-17 As a people and a culture, we’re often more at ease with Good Friday than Easter Sunday — so much so that we’ve forgotten what’s good about it in the first place: the resurrection. An event Western Christianity has spent so much energy trying to prove that it’s forgotten its true power —…

The Paradox of Peace
April 13, 2025Luke 19:28-40 In a time that feels like the opposite of peace, where our news and social media feeds fill us with visions and stories of division, dissonance and devastation, we need the image, the truth and reality of Jesus’ non-triumphal entry more than ever. An entry symbolizing and embodying radical peace that…

Offensive Love
March 30, 2025Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 A story we’ve probably heard too many times to count: the story of the Prodigal Son. And yet, have you ever noticed how the story doesn’t end? How we’re left on the edge of our seats wondering what the older brother will do? Ultimately the story of the Prodigal Son…

The Liberation of Letting Go
March 9, 2025Luke 4:1-13 In the season of Lent we are invited to let go, to enter a kind of mini-death in order to embody and become true vessels of liberation. It’s the paradox of the cross we get to explore for 40 days and 40 nights, of entering the dark night of the soul,…

Embodying Exodus
March 2, 2025Luke 9:28-36, (37-43a) The mystery of the Transfiguration has stooped theologians and biblical scholars alike with plenty of theories and theologies all around. But what if the Transfiguration wasn’t meant to be understood but something to be undergone? A shimmering of glory not just for Christ but for us?

Bearing Fruit in Barren Times
Feb 16, 2025Jeremiah 17:5-10 In secular- Australia, we have often been shy about our faith… and for good reason. The atrocities we have come to learn about through colonization and the Royal Commission has meant many of us have kept the Gospel hidden. But good news can’t be hidden even by our worst human failings,…
