In this second message from Mark, we reflect on God’s powerful words as Jesus emerges from the water. These words affirm that Jesus is the promised deliverer, sent to bring liberation and hope. But they also reveal something deeply personal: God is not only rescuing us—He is restoring who we are. By declaring Jesus as His beloved Son, God signals the beginning of a new identity for all who follow Him. Through Jesus, we are no longer defined by brokenness or shame; we are called beloved, honoured, and precious in God’s eyes. This is a message not just of deliverance , but of restoration and belonging.

The revealed Jesus - The expected Lord
An introduction to our new series “The Revealed Jesus” where we will together explore the question, “Who is Jesus?” as we work through the Gospel of Mark. In this sermon, Wilson highlighted the importance of understanding the original context of the text and helped explain how an ancient listener would have understood the first 8 verses of Mark. To truly understand Mark’s biography of Jesus, we must recognise that it reflects ancient high-context communication, emphasises moral character over strict chronology, and reveals Jesus as the long-awaited divine deliverer through rich Old Testament and cultural references. We are invited to begin experiencing him as the expected Lord who comes to call us to repentance and into everlasting salvation.

Redeemer | Easter Service Part 2 | Wilson Bento
For this Easter, we reflect on the passage of Revelation 5:9-10. In this song, God’s creation and people worship the Lamb of God, Jesus, for his willingness to give up his life in order to ransom a people for God. We see how the passage invites us today to place God at the center of our lives, to see Jesus as the Lamb of God who redeems us, to live in the hope of a complete restoration in the future, and to share the news of Jesus’ redemptive act.

God, the restorer of life | Matt Simmonds
In this final message of our series on Ruth, we turn to the last chapter—but to fully grasp it, we first revisit the beginning. Naomi’s journey begins in deep emptiness: socially, naturally, and personally. Yet through the steadfast love of God, that emptiness is transformed into fullness. This story ultimately points us to Jesus—the one who meets us in our own emptiness and restores our lives.
