1 Corinthians 15:1-20

Certain Hope of Resurrection

The resurrection of Jesus is central to the Christian message. But to most Australians, the idea of someone rising from the dead sounds more like a fairy tale than a foundational truth to stake your life upon. How certain can we be that Jesus rose again, and why does it matter so much?

Romans 8:28-30

All Things for Good

Romans 8:28 is one of the most loved verses in the Bible. We love the thought that for those who love God all things work together for good. But what is the good that God is working for? How can we see it in our lives, especially when things are not good?

Romans 8:18-27

Groaning & Glory

The pattern of Jesus’ life was suffering before glory. To belong to Christ is to share that same pattern. This makes us the question if it’s worth it. Will the future glory outweigh present sufferings? This passage answers that question by showing us the weight of glory, the hope of glory and the help to glory.

John 20:24-31

From Doubt to Faith

Thomas' encounter with Jesus risen from the dead is the classic account of doubt giving way to faith. But Thomas' faith was based on seeing Jesus face to face. How can we believe if we cannot see? Is the evidence for the resurrection convincing for us today?

Psalm 90

Number Your Days

The start of a new year is when many of us re-evaluate our life goals and the way we spend our time. Psalm 90 shows there is value in doing that (e.g. verse 12). However the real value is found in seeing our lives from God's perspective. This sermon explores what the psalm says about God’s eternity, our mortality and God’s mercy.

Eye-Witness News

How can we know for sure that God is real – that we know him and he knows us? Can we have certainty about life with him after death? These kinds of questions often plague people with doubts. But 1 John 1:1-4 says we can have assurance because God has done something in history that proves his existence beyond doubt.

Living Hope (Part 1: What It Is)

Everyone lives with hope—a future anticipation that motivates us to endure hardship. However, many of our hopes are uncertain, unattainable and don’t last. The gospel gives us the hope of a glorious future that is certain and lasts forever, because it’s based on an event that has already happened in history: the resurrection.
