Speaker: Rev Phil Campbell
Topic: Prophets and Promises
Jonah the runaway prophet isn’t keen to take the message of God’s providence to a faraway nation of Israel’s enemies. But God, as always, has the upper hand.

Speaker: Rev Dr Arthur Keefer
Topic: Easter
How would you tell the story of your life, and how would it include Jesus? The story of the Bible is that God enters into the story of humanity in the person of Jesus Christ.

Speaker: Rev Phil Campbell
If you seek meaning in your career, what’s left if there’s an economic downturn… or when you retire? Or, in the end, when you die? In the universal quest for meaning and purpose, what work is really worth doing? That’s the question Paul addresses as he brings his letter to Corinth to a close, and describes some very practical ways we can join in doing ‘the work of the Lord.’

Speaker: Rev Phil Campbell
Some think science will be the key to living forever, and others claim that faith can make you well. But Paul says, there’s only one way forward… and that’s to die, and then be raised, like Jesus. The painful cross-shaped consequence is that there’s no free-ticket to avoid suffering.
