Often in life, especially during Christmas time, we have so much to do, tasks to be done, that we may sometimes feel rushed. Amongst the bustle of life, we sometimes lose the time to reflect, and to ponder. But how can we allow ourselves time to reflect and ponder, and allow God to work through that? To be grateful, to allow God to speak to us. This week, Lead Pastor Miles Paludan explores the story of Mary, and how she modeled the power of stopping and pondering, even amongst the busiest of times.

Join us for our Christmas service message shared on the 17th December for 2023! Lead Ps. Miles Paludan shares on the nativity story from the unique perspective of the Shepherds; the first to hear the good news. Thieves and vagabonds, social outcasts, why were they the first to hear the good news? If you've ever been curious, learn more today as we share God's word!

Although famous now, Bethlehem was once a place of little cultural significance despite its spiritual heritage. Nazareth was a normal place, nothing special. So why was Jesus born in a place of normalcy and in the mundane? Why did God choose this place to birth the King of Kings? What we see as disadvantage, God saw as an advantage. Through life, there are times we may feel like we are disadvantaged, but is it possible God has placed us there for his purpose? This week Ps. Isaac Lenton explores the power of Jesus' birth, and God's power to use any situation for good and for the transformation of humankind.

Christmas and life are both wonderful things; but both can sometimes feel chaotic. Organising, multiple events, things out of our control can sometimes make us feel that we have little control in our lives. The reality of control is the more we try to attain, the less we actually have. But how can we accept this lack of control healthily? This week Lead Ps. Miles Paludan starts our Christmas series "Behold" by exploring the rich story of Joseph and his part in the Christmas story.
