In this fourth message, we arrive at a powerful moment in Mark 1:16-20 — the calling of Jesus’ first disciples. It’s here that the beautiful mystery of the Church begins, not at Pentecost, but with a simple yet life-changing invitation: “Follow me, and I will make you become…”This talk dives into what it really means to follow Jesus — how he choose…

In just six powerful verses, Mark reveals the beginning of Jesus’ ministry — from His baptism to His testing in the wilderness, and the launch of His world-changing message: “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” Discover what these verses reveal about Jesus’ identity, His humanity, the power of the Holy Spirit, and t…

John the Baptist models true humility. Are we pointing people to ourselves? Or are we pointing them to Jesus? In a world obsessed with platform and visibility, are we willing to say: “It’s not about me”? Are we open to the Spirit’s baptism — to a life shaped not by striving, but by surrender?By Everyday Church

We will give ourselves an overview / introduction to Mark's gospel and see why such an overall understanding is helpful. We will ask the standard questions we would ask if we were in college studying a gospel: Who wrote it? When did they write it? Why did they write it? And then we will ask the questions that disciples should always ask: Why do the…

The church is meant to be both a gathered people and a scattered or “sent” people. Our goal is to hold all four of these aspects of the Kingdom together: Salvation | Sanctification | Signs & Wonders | Social Action. And by doing so, to keep the dual emphasis of the church gathered and the church scattered. If we just gather, we end up inward lookin…

It is within this redemption story in Revelation 21, this meta-narrative, that the church eternal, global, and local, should find its vision and values. God created perfect community out of divine community. So, God’s redemption plan is a community plan. Here at Everyday Church, we articulate this vision in seven words: Son | Father | Spirit | Grac…

In the …

We have been looking at the ‘8 Days That Changed The World’. The 8 days that culminate with Easter Sunday. We are going to be asking ourselves to consider what it might mean if the Easter accounts are true. What it might mean if Jesus really did rise from the dead, and what does that mean for our world today?…

Holy Saturday is a day of waiting. The disciples and followers of Jesus were in a place of uncertainty, grief, and confusion. The body of Jesus lay in the tomb, and it seemed as though all hope was lost. But even in the silence and waiting, God was at work. As we wait for God to break in in resurrection power, consider other areas of your life wher…

On Good Friday, we reflect on the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. When he declared, "It is finished," he meant that the work of salvation was complete. Jesus bore the weight of our sin, took the punishment that we deserved, and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice.By Everyday Church

Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper, where Jesus washed his disciples' feet, teaching them the way of humble loving service. The act of washing feet was reserved for the lowest servant, but Jesus, their Lord, did it to demonstrate that true greatness comes through serving others. He was not ashamed to take off clothing, get down on the flo…

Today we remember the woman who anointed Jesus with expensive perfume. Her act of worship was costly, but it was an expression of deep love and devotion. Jesus valued her offering, not because of its material worth, but because of her heart. Are there areas in your life where God is calling you to give sacrificially in love and worship? How can you…

In our verse today, Jesus teaches the greatest commandment: to love God fully and love our neighbours as ourselves. Love is the essence of the Christian faith. Take some time now to reflect on your relationship with God and how you express love toward others. What does it mean for you to love the Lord with your whole heart, soul, and mind? As we pr…

In today’s verse we see Jesus cleansing the temple, showing his zeal for true worship. The temple was meant to be a place of prayer and communion with God, but it had become corrupted. Today, let’s take some time to examine our hearts and lives. Are there areas where we need Jesus to come and cleanse? May we allow him to restore our focus to what t…

On Palm Sunday, we remember the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, where the crowds shouted, "Hosanna!" – literally ‘God saves!’ They celebrated him as the King, but many misunderstood the kind of king he was. Jesus came not as a conquering ruler, but as a humble servant, bringing peace. Take a moment now to reflect on the nature of his kings…

We are starting to unpack what God desires for his community – his church – in the world. How do we continue to build a community which is inclusive and welcoming to all whilst holding on to God’s better story when it comes to identity, sex, sexuality, and gender? How do we continue to build a community that is biblically orthodox and radically inc…

Our existence as two sexes is central to our image bearing. We have the freedom to express our masculinity and femininity in culturally sensitive ways across a very wide bandwidth. But not to mask it. Distinctions in role are limited to the church and the family – and only work when they reflect the sacrifice, honour, and love displayed within Trin…

There’s certainly a lot of sex in the Bible. There are lists of don’ts as well as many bad examples to learn from, such as the dysfunctional family caused by Jacob’s polygamy, the mess caused by Abraham’s rape of Hagar, David’s adultery of Bathsheba. But there are also many positive stories about romance, relationships, weddings, pregnancies, and c…

Scripture is clear, my identity is not in my relational status, my sexuality, my gender, my profession, my ministry, or my position in society. My identity is in God. An identity based on my culture will always be flawed because every culture has been infected by the power and brokenness of sin. An identity based on my internal dialogue and emotion…

When Jesus looks at His Church, He is able to view it in 3 ways – eternally, globally, and locally.

Church is the body of people who belong to Jesus. Church is not a building, contrary to what many people think. Your church family might have a building where you meet, but church is people, a body of people who belong to and follow Jesus. You might have heard it said that you're not a Christian just because you go to church. And that is true, and …
