Joel Hollier : An LGBTQIA+ Affirming Bible? (Part 1)

New City Church Sydney ·

2023/10/14

LGBTQIA+ INCLUSIVE READINGS OF THE BIBLE The Bible has been used to oppress, marginalise, and ostracise countless LGBTQIA+ people. It's easy to point to verses and hide behind the "plain reading" of a text, but what happens when we scratch below the surface? This talk leads us to go beyond the words to discover the heart of the God who moves within the pages of the Bible. [Please note that the Slides from this sermon are also available for download.]

New City Church Sydney ·

In this week's gathering, we're continuing our journey through our "How to read the Bible" series, diving into the idea of Inspiration.

Christine Redwood : Achsah's Memories

New City Church Sydney ·

2023/09/02

This Sunday, we are entering the book of Judges using our imaginations. This sermon might be different to what you are used to hearing. Christine will be telling us this story from Achsahs perspective. This story from Judges 1 invites us to ask: What do we remember, and what do we forget that we shouldnt?

Beth Russell : Eve - The Archetypal Woman

New City Church Sydney ·

2023/08/26

"Eve wanted to eat good fruit and gain divine knowledge. Those are great things to want. She wanted good things but she made a mistake about how she got them..." As the original woman, Eve's story is a template for all who come after her. So what story are we telling? We explore Eve's legacy of sin, seduction, submission and suffering in the traditional view. And we mine the riches of what Genesis actually says. [Please note that the Slides from this sermon are also available for download.]
