The Bible starts with a simple declarative sentence,
“In the beginning, God . . .”
What follows in our scriptures is how God’s story engages and entwines with our own human story. It is a story of creation and love, imagination and joy, heartbreak and restoration. This story between God and humanity is one that continues to this very day and includes us.
Join us as we explore the wonderful beginnings of our story together.
Being a follower of Jesus means he comes first in our lives.
Not just our spiritual lives and not just on Sundays, but in everything. In this new sermon series, we will explore what it means to put Jesus first in the good and the bad times.
So that means when we are anxious, joyful, uncertain, unstable, comfortable, or lonely. As well as putting him first with our time and gifts, resources, money and relationships.
Putting Jesus first is not a once off commitment, but a choice to be made each day. The world offers many distractions and distorts our priorities, but peace and fulfillment come as we put Jesus first in all things
Until August 11
This is a special sermoin series from Michael Henderson, outlining the basics of faith.
It will not focus around arguments, but will approach it from an experience perspective.
The series will be called: “Recapturing Wonder”.
We encourage you to bring anyone wanting to explore faith in a new way to what they may have heard before.
The past week’s art installation, Breathe, Shine and Seek to Mend is now over.
On Sunday, Stephen Baxter will speak to one of our core values:
We value our city … by giving thanks for its beauty, praying for its welfare and serving its people.
Where can we see God leading following our partnership with Michael?

Dark Mofo has brought spirituality back into the public square.
I'm delighted we are able to partner with Michael and enter into this space.
My hope is that this profound yet confronting installation will cause us all to think deeply about the nature and purpose of faith.
Stephen Baxter, Senior Pastor, Hobart Baptist Church
I want to ask questions about cover-up, about the use of power to reveal or bury truth.
And I wonder, can truth can ever actually be buried?
Michael Henderson, Artist
