Pastors Letter

Hello Church, This Sunday we’re praying with the Psalms again – reflecting together on the majesty of God revealed in Psalm 8. Then next Sunday after church we’d love you to plan to stick around for lunch followed by a special church family prayer gathering. With the recent announcement of the Winter’s upcoming move from Brighton to plant a church…

Hello Church, Do you find it hard to pray? Perhaps you find it hard to get started. Or you have so many questions about prayer that they can get in the way of actually doing it. Or youfeel like we’re just going over the same list of concerns that pop up in life. It’s no wonder that one of the only records that we have of Jesus’ disciples asking him to…

Hello Church, Over the last few weeks we’ve had our eyes lifted to see God’s big mission in his big world. This Sunday we stick with the theme as we are encouraged from Psalm 145 together.

Please pray for more great conversations and growing understanding of the significance of Jesus for every one of us. Tomorrow night Youth@Hove has the final…

So if you’ve got a friend to bring then please make sure to register them so we can offer them generous hospitality as well as gospel truth. Details and rego here. Cheers, Simon  

G’day, I wonder if you would have had Leviticus on your list of motivational books for mission and evangelism? I probably wouldn’t have, until now. I’m realising more and more how helpfully Leviticus is reminding us of God’s holiness, that he is worthy of our whole-of-life devotion. Leviticus shows us God’s passion to be with his people even…

Hello Church, I’ve had some great chats with people about Leviticus coming out of the passages we looked at last Sunday. We’re going to have lots of curly questions come up as we make our way through this rich and complex book. Along the way, I think it’s helpful to see that Leviticus is not just a book of rules. This is more than just legislation,…
