Phrases like "beauty for ashes" can be difficult to understand, Steve unpacks important the significance of ashes in biblical culture and proposes that we can't keep our own ashes and get the beauty that is promised to us.

Viv talked from Isaiah 61 v 3 about how God brings beauty from ashes, not from perfection and how we have to let God refine us in the fire so that his beauty can be seen in us.

Viv shares about how we need to be continually be filled with the Spirit of God in order to fulfil the mandate of Isaiah 61.

Alexander McLean - Psalm 139:1-16 - 04.08.19 by Vineyard 61 Church

Kristen dives into Psalm 27 and discusses what it looks like to have confidence in God and His calling on your life, even when fear creeps in.

Psalm 139 is cherished for telling us that we are 'fearfully and wonderfully made'. We often use it in Christian culture to promote attitudes like body positivity and self-esteem. While this isn't wrong, it does miss the point. This psalm is not about how wonderful we are - it's about how wonderful God is.

Elias starts with the series "Summer in the Psalms" and shares the impact that the Psalm 27 of King David had in his life through one of his darkest times.

Whilst this verse might be an evangelist’s dream scripture, it offers a deeper challenge for those who already call themselves followers of Jesus. In the midst our culture, where so much divides us, Jesus calls us to surrender ourselves to the foolishness of the Cross to meet the real cry of a broken world.

Rahil shares about the last statement of Jesus encouraging us to develop a lifestyle of abiding in God throughout our day. Relying and depending on Him for our source of Joy, Peace, love and affirmation.

Steve carries on our series on the ‘I am’ saying of Jesus, looking at ‘I am the resurrection and the life’ in John 11. When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. Jesus knew that by pulling his friend out of the grave it was going to put him in the grave. This is a sermon about death, suicide and the life that only Jesus brings.
