Jesus Christ is often on the hearts, minds and lips of many for a myriad of intents and reasons. How should we approach the Son of God who takes away the sin of our world? What does it mean to be called into His family? Let's consider the truth of God's Word for our lives today… Mark 3:20-35

Jacintha continues the sermon series on Tending the Garden of the Inner Life by preaching about the Garden City at the end, found in the book of Revelation. The hope of Christ is that in the end, every tear will be wiped away, every thirst will be satisfied, every thing will be made new, and every transgression made right. Perhaps the best news is that Jesus invites to build the Garden City with him, beginning with the gardens of our inner lives.Revelation 21:1-8; 22:1-5, 17

There's something about Eden, the first garden at the beginning of history, that tells us about the original design of our humanity. It's been said you can never really understand what a fish is like until you study the sea. And if we are to understand something of how we are meant to be, we need only to look at the garden where it all began. In this talk, Abel shares about how God has made us for beauty, connection and good work. Genesis 2:8-9, Genesis 2:15-22

In this talk, Abel talks about the calling that God has given to HTBB to be a centre of worship, community, multiplication and legacy.Isaiah 61

In Matthew 9:35-38, Jesus looks at the crowds with compassion, seeing them as harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. In times of transition—whether personal, communal, or within ministry—it's easy to feel disoriented, like those very sheep. Yet, Jesus not only acknowledges the need but also calls for a response. Matthew 9:35-38

Miles looks at how we can step into God's promises for our lives and mark these significant moments so that they will stir faith in the future.Joshua 3:1-7; 14-16; 4:4-7

Kindness lies at the centre of our story. We are a people saved by the kindness of God and so we are called to reflect that same kindness in our lives. So what does this kindness look like? In Hosea 11:1-11, we see how God demonstrates a kindness to us that is costly, compassionate and compelling. Hosea 11:1-11

Did you know that one of the most repeated phrase in the Bible is “Do not be afraid”? The Bible offers, time and time again, a call, an invitation to us, to be a people of peace. In this talk, Abel talks about how we can be a non-anxious presence to an anxious world. Luke 2:8-15

Yet, God invites us into a place of peace and purpose - a space where we can intentionally carve out time to encounter him. Where is your garden? Where is the quiet place where you can walk, talk, and listen to God's voice?

King David is famously known as "a man after God's own heart." He was passionate for the right thing in God's eyes. He was also like everyone else, fallible. How do the chequered narratives of King David point us beyond good intentions and massive failings, towards the only King who could demonstrate steadfast love and bring about lasting change for good? 2 Samuel

Miles looks at the kingship of Saul and considers the lessons we can learn from his failures. The shortcomings of Saul are in stark contrast with the perfect kingship of Jesus. 1 Samuel

In this sermon, we look at the story of Noah and the great flood in Genesis 6-8. Jesus says that in the last days, it will be as in the days of Noah. We are living in the last days as we await the return of Jesus. So how then should we live in the last days? The story of Noah is a microcosm of Gods greater plan for the salvation of the world. Another flood is coming, a flood of God's salvation as God brings his harvest in at the end of ages. Today we look at God's instructions to Noah to see what we can learn about navigating the times we are in. First, God told Noah to build a large boat which is a picture of building a large faith in God. Then to enter the boat which represents entering into the grace of God and finally to leave the boat, which is our call to go out and be carriers of God's presence into the world. Genesis 6:14-22,7:13,8:15-22

In Luke 10:1-9, Jesus sends out 72 followers, reminding us that we don't need to be among the 12 apostles to fulfill God's mission.

Ephesians 1:1-14

The bible is largely silent about the years preceding Jesus' public ministry, except for a short section in the Gospel of Luke, in chapter 2, where we are told about the 12 year-old Jesus. Between this section to the next, when Jesus is an adult, there is an 18 year gap. In this talk, Abel shares about what happened in the 18 year period: when Jesus grew in wisdom, stature and favour, modelling for us how we too can grow.Luke 2:41-52

In his first letter to Timothy, Paul shares profound wisdom on how to grow as a disciple and a leader. This pastoral epistle continues to speak powerfully to us today.1 Timothy

God is our heavenly Father who knows our needs, even before we ask of Him. Prayer is not just about asking God for our needs, it is about a relationship with our Father in heaven. Jesus showed us a model of depending on God for all our needs. In the Lord's prayer, he taught us to petition for 3 specific needs that is food (give us our daily bread), forgiveness (forgive us as we forgive others) and freedom (lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one). In this talk, we explore what it means to pray these petitions and how God provides for these needs. We see how Jesus is God's ultimate provision for all our needs, all we have to do is ask and receive. Matthew 6: 11-13
