The Resurrection of the Body and the Life Everlasting
Preacher: Paul Shoemark
Date: 04/08/2026
Series: Apostles' Creed
Reading: 1 Cor 15:35
What is our ultimate hope actually grounded on? In this final message in the Apostles' Creed series, Paul explores how the resurrection of Jesus guarantees a glorious future for our bodies and an everlasting life with God — and how that hope doesn't make us disengage from this life but radically changes how we live now (1 Cor 15:35–58, Rev 21:1–7).

The Forgiveness of Sins
Preacher: Andrew Southerton
Date: 27/09/2026
Series: Apostles' Creed
Reading: 1 John 1:5-2:11
Why does the Apostles' Creed place "the forgiveness of sins" right next to the church? This message from 1 John 1:5–2:11 explores how we're more sinful than we dare believe yet more loved in Jesus than we dare hope — and how Christ's atoning sacrifice frees us to become a genuinely forgiving community.

Holy Catholic Church & Communion of Saints,
Preacher: Andy Williams
Date: 20/09/2026
Series: Apostles' Creed
Reading: Ephesians 2:11-22
What does it actually mean to say "I believe in the church"—especially when church has been a place of hurt?

I believe in the Holy Spirit
Preacher: Andrew Southerton
Date: 13/09/2026
Series: Apostles' Creed
Reading: John 14:15-27
Our culture says we have to author our own identity, but what if that's actually a crushing burden? In John 14:15-27, Jesus promises that by his Spirit, God moves in and makes his home with us. This message explores how the Holy Spirit brings us into God's family, reshapes us into the family likeness, and gives us a peace that circumstances can't touch.

Reading: Matthew 25:31-46
What if the one appointed to judge the world is the same one who hung on the cross for us? In Matthew 25, Jesus speaks clearly about a day when all of humanity will stand before him.

Series: Apostles' Creed
Reading: Acts 2:22-36
Is anyone actually in control? In Acts 2:22-36, Peter declares that the Jesus the world rejected, God raised and enthroned. This message explores how the resurrection is both vindication and victory — and what it means that Jesus is alive, reigning, and interceding for us right now. Could that make us strangely hopeful people?

Crucified, Died, and Was Buried
Preacher: Paul Shoemark
Date: 23/08/2026
Series: Apostles' Creed
Reading: Matthew 27:11-66
If God really loved Jesus, why didn't he rescue him from the cross? That's what the mockers asked — and it's a question we sometimes echo in our own suffering. This message from Matthew 27 explores how the moment that looked like God's silence was actually God's decisive rescue, as Jesus went all the way down into death to bring us home.
Sun, 23 Aug 2026 - 328 - Conceived by the Holy Spirit, Luke 1:26-38

Preacher: Paul Shoemark
Date: 9/8/2026
Series: Apostles Creed
Reading: John 1 & Col 1:15–20

Preacher: Andrew Southerton
Date: 02/08/2026
Series: Apostles' Creed
Reading: Gen 1:1-2:3
Are we just accidental atoms? Or does the universe have a maker who still cares about it? Andrew explores Genesis 1 and what the Apostles' Creed means when it calls God "Creator of heaven and earth", including what it might mean that every human being carries inherent dignity, value, and worth.

Is it possible that the things we look to for purpose — career, relationships, achievement — were never actually designed to carry that weight? Andrew explores Ecclesiastes 1 and Colossians 1:15-23, wrestling with why life "under the sun" leaves us feeling like vapour, and what Jesus might have to do with the answer.

Why does anxiety feel so normal, even in a world more comfortable than ever before?

What does it actually look like to stay close to God when things get hard? In Jude 17–25, we explore what it means to keep ourselves in God's love — and what it means that God is the one who keeps us. There's a beautiful tension here that's worth sitting with.

What if trying harder is actually making things worse? Andrew explores Deuteronomy 29-30 and Romans 10, asking what it really means to "choose life." Could the deepest problem we face be something no amount of willpower or effort can fix — and could God's answer be closer than we think?

Reading: Deut 5:1-22, Hebrews 1:1-3
What actually shapes your life? In Deuteronomy 5, Paul explores the Ten Commandments, not as a checklist to earn God's favour, but as words of grace spoken to people already loved and rescued. Could it be that hearing and obeying God's word is where real freedom is found?

What does it mean that Jesus says "unless I wash you, you have no part with me"? In John 13:1–11, the foot washing points forward to the cross — where Jesus humbles himself to death to cleanse us of sin and give us not just a clean slate, but a clean state.
