2021-12-05 Sermon – Peace
This Sunday we celebrate the second Sunday in Advent – Peace. God’s peace is so unlike the peace that the world offers, how can we grasp the peace that the Prince of Peace gives especially during the storms of life.
2021-11-28 Sermon – Hope
This Sunday we celebrate the first Sunday in Advent – Hope. We are just as in need of God’s hope today as the people of God were back then.

2021-11-21 Sermon – Submission

2021-10-24 Sermon – The Mordecai Movement
This week we look at the last theme of NZBMS’ Prayer and Self-Denial appeal, “The Mordecai Movement.” So very pertinent in our time I think. What injustices are we called to stand up for, for the sake of the Kingdom?

2021-09-26 Sermon – Fighting Fires
This Sunday we come to the end of our sermon series in 1 Peter where we see firefighters have a lot in common with Christian’s in the midst of fiery ordeals as Peter calls it. We look at how spiritual maturity and spiritual disciplines can help us to become strong and resilient in the faith.
