A message from the series "Deep Truths: Romans." (Romans 1:18-2:13)
Tonight Gavin is unpacking a portion of the book of Romans that would have been shocking to the Jewish believers listening to this letter being read out in first century Rome, and something that can be quite shocking for believers today. This passage is one that has often been weaponised by believers in ways that are not part of Paul's original intent.
Join us as Gavin shares what this passage is about and challenges us to check our own hearts and the way we view others around us.

(1 Samuel 5:1-12)
Tonight Gavin continues the Presence series by looking at a seemingly strange experience of the Philistines as they capture the Ark of the Covenant, and then seek to work out what it means to have the presence of God among them.
The ways in which they try to make sense of and understand God's presence are similar to the ways in which we today seek to make sense of His presence as well. Join us as Gavin unpacks what we can learn about God from the Philistines.
In this short series we are engaging three stories in 1 Samuel that speak to how we are to engage and honour the presence of God, particularly as it "presents" in a number of ways. This should challenge us to think of how even today we can fall prey to “using/wielding” God (even with good intention) rather than allowing his presence to transform us.
