We are all searching. Searching for peace in the pressure of life, purpose in the chaos, love that truly lasts, and hope that endures beyond the moment. We try to find it in many places — in the approval of friends, the success of our careers, the excitement of new experiences, or the comfort of possessions. Yet, no matter how much we accumulate or achieve, something still feels incomplete.The story of Christmas reminds us that while we have been searching for meaning, God has been searching for us. From the very beginning, He has been pursuing a relationship with us, longing to draw us close. And in Jesus, God stepped into our world — not from a distance, but into our messy, complicated, everyday lives.Christmas isn't just a story from the past — it's a living invitation to encounter the One who makes all things new.In Jesus, the search is over.Preacher:Sermon by Zech SargentFind out more at cityonahill.com.au/christmas
Three days in the tomb. When all hope was seemingly lost, Jesus rose from the grave. The crown of death has now achieved a crown of life for all who believe. Jesus leaves us with one mission – to preach the good news of Him to all the earth.

Beaten, bruised and bloodied – Jesus carries his cross and takes the punishment to put a final end to sin and death for eternity. As Jesus takes his last breath, the temple curtain tears in two and the new covenant has begun.

The religious leaders challenged Jesus' authority as he was teaching in the temple. A parable of true obedience to God and a parable of Israel's leaders that had rejected God's messengers, and would ultimately reject His Son.

In a culture where LGBTQ+ people are affirmed and celebrated, the church often seems critical and judgmental. What does the Bible say on these issues and to people wrestling with their identity? How should Christians live out these truths in their communities today?

How should we read the ancient text of the Bible in light of our ever-expanding scientific knowledge? Does evolution contradict the Bible, or just help us understand it better?

Jesus claimed to be ‘the way, the truth and the life' – but isn't that arrogant? Aren't all religions basically the same – a different path to the same destination, shaped by the perspectives of the particular time and culture we live in? Or is it possible that we're wrong? How do we assess all of these truth claims?

As wars rage in the Middle East and opinions divide, we are confronted with the question of how we should respond. What does God have to say about war in general, and what might he have to say about this one in particular?

In a noisy and distracted age, how do we recognise the word of God – and how do I know if what I'm ‘hearing' is the word of God, or just the voice of my own heart?

Jesus calls those who follow Him to sacrifice, lay their lives down, and loosen their grip on the treasures in this world. We cannot enter the kingdom with our earthly riches, but instead trust in the eternal riches gifted to us in Jesus.

Jesus warns of spiritual blindness - that some will go searching for a sign, when the sign was right there in front of them. Beware of teaching that focuses on religious obligation rather than pointing to the person, work and heart of Christ.
