What Matters

Engage: Make Peace

Christians are not called to keep the peace, but to make peace.  Peacemaking is a defining characteristic of an engaged Christian community.  In this message I explore how conflict can be embraced as an opportunity to love and serve others and God.

Engage: Take Responsibility

All Things in Common: Koinonia

The with-God life is always lived with others. In this message, explore the Jesus-centred, Spirit-fuelled community of the Acts 2 church, and how it was the lifeblood of their mission. In a culture where psuedo-community is rampant, churches are called to be places of deep community. Listen in here: Engage - Koinonia
