In the Beginning…

This new series takes us to the opening chapters of the Bible—Genesis 1–4—where we encounter the foundations of life as we know it.

Across these four weeks, we’ll explore how these early chapters speak into some of the biggest questions we all carry: Who are we? What’s gone wrong with the world? Who is God? And what hope is there for the future? In these pages, we meet the God of creation and judgment, and we see both the beauty of human potential and the tragedy of human failure.

Genesis also raises important questions about how faith relates to science. While these chapters may touch on areas that intersect with scientific inquiry, their primary focus is not on explaining physical processes, but on revealing who God is, who we are, and how we are meant to relate to Him, to one another, and to the world.

This is a complex and sometimes challenging space, but also a rich opportunity. As we engage both God’s Word and God’s world, we’re invited to think carefully, grow in understanding, and hold our convictions with humility. Faithful Christians may come to different conclusions on some of these questions—and as we do, we seek to continue loving, serving, and learning together.

    God With Us

    In the 25th year of the exile, Ezekiel receives another vision, this time of a new grand temple provided by God.
    Lachlan draws from Ezekiel 40:1-4; 43:1-12 to help us understand what this vision meant for Ezekiel and his contemporaries and how Christians today can still be awed by the same vision and drawn back to God.

    Christ Crucified, Risen, and Coming Again

    “…For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.

    On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

    He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end…”

    In our third sermon on the Nicene Creed, Lachlan helps us to consider the breadth of what it means to believe these words in the creed. These words show how Jesus is in our past, our future and active in the present day.

    To believe these words will have ramifications for us today and should shape how we live in the here and now. Lachlan draws from 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 to help us see the continued relevance and impact of real faith then and now.
