God's Good Plan - Warren Gouman (Week 1)

Give to Each Other - Jonty King (Week 2)

A Christlike Family - Warren Gouman (Week 1)

St Martins C3

One of the distinctives of the church is the quality of its life together. As the people of God share themselves with each other they show the giving nature of the character of God. However, this is not always as heavenly as it should be. This series explores how our life together now can be open, authentic and possible. 

Identity AND Purpose - Kristen Williams

St Martins C3

Guest speaker Kristen Williams looks at two great emphases in Christianity over the last 20 years: our identity as children of God and the purpose to bring God's Kingdom. Too often we emphasize one or the other, but what if we could fully grasp both?

Christ and Culture - Warren Gouman (Week 6)

St Martins C3

One of the hallmarks of the early church was the way they stood firm against opposition. As they responded to the external pressures they showed the distinctive, transformational life of God to the world. In this message, Warren explores what this looks like in our culture.
