God in the Ordinary - Sarah Taylor (Week 4)

South City C3 6PM

In this message, Sarah explores one of the most famous stories of all time, the birth of Jesus. Often we see this story as spectacular and miraculous, yet at the time it was nothing more than ordinary. Through it we discover that God is in both the ordinary and the extraordinary. 

The Two Shall Become One Flesh - Joshua Taylor (Week 4)

South City C3 10AM

In the beginning, God created the first man and first woman. Adam and Eve were created for each other, and the great story of us began with their wedding. In this message, Joshua takes a look at God's original design for marriage and how that relates to us today.

Jump for Joy - Jonty King (Week 3)

Mary and Zechariah - Steve Burgess (Week 2)

South City C3 6PM

As we go deeper into Luke we find two angels visiting two very different people. They would individually be parents of two of the greatest people in all of history. Their children will fulfil prophecy, call people to God and change the world. Yet their responses are very different. 

Walking with Jesus - Jonty King (Week 1)

South City C3 6PM

God’s good plan for the world came together in the person of Jesus. He is the central point not only of Christianity but also of history. It is essential that we know him and spend time immersed in his story. As we walk with Jesus we can follow him more closely and also begin to bring God’s gospel to all people. This series covers the first two chapters of Luke, looking at how the coming of Jesus was new hope for the world.

We begin this series by looking at Luke's introduction and how the gospel is significant, reliable and transformational.

The Church is a Family - Joshua Taylor (Week 3)

South City C3 10AM

In our culture today, it is easy to relate to the Church more like a business and less like a family. In this message, Josh explores how being a part of God's family defines who we are and what we do as members of His own household.
