We all play a part in the incredible story of CHRISTmas! During this season of Advent we are going to look to the cast of characters God gathered together, touched, and transformed through the first Christmas.
The anticipation of the prophets, the joyful proclamation of the angels, the journey of the shepherds and wise men to honor Jesus, and how all of this fits in with how we prepare and celebrate for Christmas now.
In week 2 we will look to what exactly was the "peace" the angels proclaimed and how this peace can change everything in our our journey to CHRISTmas this year.

This first week we will look to what preparation and expectation the Old Testament Prophets had and and see what things we can find to help in our our journey to CHRISTmas this year.

Much like the early church we read about in the Bible, we believe whole-life generosity is the way God designed His church to operate.
n this series we're going to look at generosity as a way of life.
In week 1, we're going to consider the question: What if we were generous just for the fun of it?
The big truth this week is this: Generosity is not about what I have it's about how I think.
Note: We're using the book I Like Giving by Brad Formosa.

God works miracles through those who obey, though often times our nature rebels against Him.
Regardless of which path we choose-obedience or rebellion- God is the God of second chances.
Few stories illustrate this principle more clearly than the story of Jonah.
In this 3rd installment, Jonah gets a second chance and takes God's message to the Ninevhites and amazing things happen. But we see that sometimes the problem of being faithful finds its cause in our own stubbornness to trust God.

Over a hundred fifty years ago, Mansfield was known as the city of churches. This mural hangs on the wall at St Lukes and reflects the spires of those early churches.
We are one of them. Join us as we hear about a new “fellowship of different” that is being planted in our area.
It’s a story of what God is doing through the lives of the next generation of followers of Jesus.
Dr. Dolly Dong is our guest.

It seems like everything we value is being shaken. The world in which we live seems to be moving away from much that we value. As followers of Jesus we need to have confidence and develop tools to deal with whatever comes our way.
Unshakable is a series based on the life of Daniel. As we journey through the life of this Old Testament character we will uncover ways to navigate life rough waters.
Daniel's story is one to encourage us to lean into healthy responses as we stand firm for the hope and truth of the Gospel.
This week we look at the story of Daniel's three friends who experience a little heat in their faith journey and how God shows up to bring about an amazing outcome.
