How then shall we live?

Last Sunday morning Ralph continued our exploration of Ephesians as he addressed the question ‘Whose authority do we submit to?’ (Ephesians 2:1-10).

At 12two, our very special guest, Taryn Atkinson unpacked our capacity to compare ourselves unfavourably with others and challenged us to see and experience life as God would have us.

You can listen to audio of both messages at Ralph’s blog.

This Sunday

On Sunday morning (7.30am, 9am, 10.45am) Stu will have his turn addressing Paul’s amazing sermon to the Ephesians as we explore what it means for Jesus to be our peace (Ephesians 2:11-22).

At 12two (6pm), Cory Maxwell-Coghlan will continue the Veto series as he navigates the complexities of ethical decision making.
