6 | Going Deep
Mark Helvadjian, 16 February, 2020
When we encounter Jesus, it is always an invitation for more. As we look at the story of Jesus calling His first disciples, we learn practical kingdom insights about moving out into our calling.
But more than that, we also see that, just like the fisherman, we have a choice as to whether we stay with our nets full of fish or go deeper and follow Jesus.

Mark Helvadjian, 02 February, 2020
We all have those moments where the heat of the day gets too much, and we take shade under our fig tree of choice. Looking at the story of Jesus calling Nathanael from under the fig tree, we see how the invitation to walk with Jesus is an invitation to experience an altogether different way of living, being transformed as we encounter Him.

Mark kicks off a brand-new series entitled, ENCOUNTER. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be exploring stories from the gospels of ordinary men and woman encountering Jesus and the transformation it brings.

2 | An Encounter with Mercy
Mark Helvadjian - January 19, 2020
Have you found yourself running dry? Needing God to step in? As we continue in our ENCOUNTER series, we look at Jesus’ first miracle, changing water into wine at the wedding at Cana. As the groom encounters Jesus, He encounters God's mercy. But more than that, we see the wedding story foretelling the wedding which is to come and the new wine which Jesus brings – and everyone is invited.
