Revelation 20,21 This week we come to the end of our half year long telling of the great story of Jesus the King and His Kingdom. We explore how the book of Revelation describes what is to come and how this vision can fill us with a deep hope in life in the face of our present sufferings.
The Kingdom - 20 June

Our journey through the big story of the kingdom is nearing its destination, and this week we shift from looking back to looking forward. We explore how the story ends and one of the topics Jesus most spoke on - judgement! Who does the judging, when and on what basis are we to be judged. These are neither light nor uncontroversial questions but are indeed central to the good news of the Kingdom. I hope, by the end you will discover that judgement is indeed good news. ~ Pastor Scott Morrison

We have been journeying through the big story of scripture for several months now, trying toget our bearings on this thing called 'the gospel of the Kingdom' that Jesus continually taughtand demonstrated. In simple terms, the 'Kingdom' is wherever the will and way of God is donein partnership with people for the blessing of all creation. Our job is to partner with God in all things that express His will and way...
The Kingdom - 22 March

What is a "nation of priests"? Why did God want a tent? What does holiness look like? Where does the Law of the Old Testament fit into faith today? And how does all this relate to the grand narrative of the Kingdom of God? In this bonus sermon in the series, we explore how these themes weave together to form the blueprints of the kingdom of God - both for the original recipients, and us today. Make sure to check out the notes as they contain a lot more content than the vid.
The Kingdom - 14 March
March 14, 2021 • Pastor Scott Morrison
This week, we explore the beginning of God’s unrelenting plan to restore us to his Kingdom and blessing. With Abraham, humanity begins the long slow journey of unlearning and relearning just who God really is. We will overview most of Genesis with special attention to Genesis 12, 15 and 22. These are some of the most important passages in the Old Testament and critical to understanding the gospel of the kingdom and how to read scripture in general.

In this message Pastor Scott Morrison speaks about sin – what is it, where it comes from and what are its consequences? Not because we all need a good dose of condemnation but because we need a good dose of hope and to see that even though our lives are impacted by sin, they need not be defined by it.
