We are Embodied
Christchurch Sermons
What is a human body? A shell that houses the real you? Or is it the sum total of all we are; just matter, molecules and mucus? In Genesis 2 we glimpse a glorious picture and a profound reality: every person is both an embodied soul and ensouled body. Listen in as Lewis Roderick shows us why the human body is so good (even in all its brokenness) and how the gospel leads us to a truly embodied life.

We are Imaged
Christchurch Sermons
What is a person worth? It’s a deceptively simple question. As Lewis Roderick continues the series ‘Human: Dust and Glory’, Lewis Roderick shows us how Scripture gives a radically higher answer than our culture of economics ever could, and why the Image of God is the answer to our tribalism and despair.

We are Created
Christchurch Sermons
What does it mean to be human? In the lead up to Spring at Christchurch Newport, we’ll be considering that question in light of Genesis 1 and 2, reflecting on the significance of our being created, imaged, physical, commissioned, emotional, communal, limited, gendered, sexual and dust. As we begin our series, Lewis Roderick takes us to our origin story and shows us what it means for us to ‘created’.

It is well with my soul
Christchurch Sermons
As we begin 2026, no one but God knows what lays ahead, globally, nationally or personally. What will be the state of my soul if my ‘lot’ this year is not favourable, or worse, what I most dread? Bob reminds us of the glorious Gospel found in these two verses in order to ground us in the finished work of Christ, so that come what may, we can still say with absolute confidence in Christ that “It is well with my soul”.

I am Coming Soon
Christchurch Sermons
Advent is more than chocolates before the presents; it’s a season of waiting; longing for the day of Christ’s return. As we remember his first coming, we look ahead to his second and cry ‘Come, Lord Jesus!’. In the spirit of Advent, we wrap up our I Am series with this message from Revelation 22 and consider together the joy that awaits the church at Christ’s return.
