Listen to our latest chapel series from Semester 1, 2019, “Living is Christ, dying is gain”, from the book of Philippians. Titles include: Faithful people, faithful Christ; Living worthy of the gospel; and Knowing Christ.        

In this chapel message “Seen”, John Coulson preaches from John 20:19-31. Although the disciples, John and Peter, had seen the empty tomb and Mary had come back with the report of seeing Jesus, they still have to see him for themselves. It wasn’t until Jesus appeared to them that the reality began to set in, that…

In this Chapel message, Richard preaches on the theme “Raised” from John 20:1-18. In this passage, Richard describes the real dawning of the transformation of the universe. The unbearable absence of Jesus has ended and we have come into a new age; the age of adoption. It’s the age of being welcomed into God’s family.…

We’ve been entrusted with God’s grace. But first and foremost, we’ve been shown God’s grace. What does it mean to be entrusted with God’s grace; to be stewards of God’s grace? This was the focus of our Bible talks at the recent 2017 BST Camp. This first talk by Rev Dr Richard Gibson is on…

How did Israel go from singing praises to the Lord of their miraculous escape from Egypt to grumbling just three days later?

Our culture is very conscious of individual rights. As Christians, there are many rights within our society that we consider important. In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul begins by asserting his rights and credentials as an apostle.

In times of hardship, well-meaning people can give out all sorts of advice and opinions on the theology of suffering. But what we really need is a theology of God. We need to keep our hearts and minds fixed on who God is and his promises…
