Series Summary:
This message was preached on 10 October 2021 as part of a teaching series through Jesus' famous 'Sermon on the Mount' in Matthew 5-7, in the New Testament of the Bible.
Jesus' Sermon on the Mount is one of the most well-known parts of the Bible, so much so that phrases and ideas from it are part of our cultural fabric. But what does it mean? Over eight weeks, we will unpack how Jesus' first major public discourse tells what real life is all about.

Series Summary:
This message was preached on 19 June 2022 as part of a Bible teaching series on the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes, written by King Solomon.
We're usually familiar with the Bible's stories and rules, but what about the category of 'wisdom'? Wisdom was an important pursuit of the Bible writers, as they sought to live well, under God, in the light of what he has revealed. Ecclesiastes is a wisdom book, and teaches us the wisdom of how to find meaning and purpose in an often confusing world. The answers might not be all we want, but they're all we need.
