Exodus on Fire
Part 7: Mountain Ablaze
Two months after embarking on an amazing journey, the nation of Israel comes face to face with the God who has saved them out of the land of slavery. This week brings us to both the end of the story and to its climax — the coming of God to be with His people. What do we learn and understand about how great God is in this final part of our Exodus on Fire series?

Exodus on Fire
Part 6: The Sound of the Trumpet
Two months after their miraculous escape from Egypt God continues to offer the Israelite people instruction on how to live together as His followers. Today we look at these three short stories in Exodus 18 & 19, the very last before they meet with God in person. The lessons learned are just as relevant for us today as we prepare to meet God in person.

Exodus on Fire
Part 5: The Lord is My Banner
The book of Exodus is a story of redemption as God leads, provides for and protects His special people. God takes them on not just a physical journey, but a journey that teaches the Children of Israel to learn to trust God - something they're not always particularly good at. And in lots of ways, we're just like the Israelites. Fortunately, God takes us on a journey too, where he teaches, protects, provides for and saves US.

Exodus on Fire
Part 4: Stop and Stare
I think if you had been standing on the banks of the Red Sea the day the Israelites crossed over - you might have stood transfixed at the sight unfolding before your eyes. There is a reason to stop and stare. God is looking to work in and through your life with the same power He unleashed for the people of Israel. Will you let Him give you a reason to stop and stare at the work He is doing in you?

Exodus on Fire
Part 3: Roast the Lamb
SIN – the ‘bad’ word of the Bible.
In Exodus it cost a lamb, a roasted one.
In the Gospels it cost a life, a crucified one.
Today – what does sin cost us? What kind of fire do we have to encounter? We’ll be celebrating communion in our worship service today.

Exodus on Fire
Part 2: Out of the Ashes
Fire: consuming, refining, capturing attention, Holy. Fire.
Exodus: the journey… the story of God’s people as they are taught, rescued, tested, and redeemed. As we wander through our own Exodus journey, what “fire” will God use to capture your attention? How will He reveal Himself to you? Join us we journey through “Exodus on Fire”.
Out of the Ashes: Sometimes it’s the “ashes” experiences in our lives, that produce the greatest growth in our future.

Exodus on Fire
Part 1: Ignition
God didn’t appear to the people of Israel in ordinary ways. Take Moses - God wanted to get his attention – why not set a bush on fire? This fire; this bush that did not burn; was the IGNITION of a powerful story of God, His people and their journey to the land which they were promised. This is not just their story... It’s yours and mine. Discover the ways in which God is getting your attention as we begin our series: “Exodus on Fire.” You may just be ignited!

Identity Theft - Reclaiming Who God Created You to Be
Part 5: Poisoned by the Pews
This series exposes the four “identity thieves” that steal our sense of who we truly are and render our lives diminished versions of what they were intended to be. We were never meant to be chameleons, changing into whatever we need to be in order to gain love and acceptance. We were created for more — much more — than the way we look, what we accomplish or fail to accomplish, and the sum of our past rejections, failures, and wounds. |

Living in the Kingdom of God Now
Jesus went about preaching the “good news” of the kingdom — the good news that His kingdom was to be a present reality. We have the privilege of living in that kingdom today and not merely waiting for something better in the future. His kingdom is real and can be the core essence of our lives today. |

God's Outrageous Claims
Part 5: Playing it Safe is the Most Dangerous Way to Live
Do you take the safest possible route on your way to a destination? Do you live a life that is refined and civilised - a life within a safe little haven?

Join us as we think about what it might look like to step outside our comfort zones - just for a while - to explore the possibilities and alternatives to playing it safe! |
