Over the next nine weeks, we’re going to be hearing sermons on some sermons.

If that sounds a bit unusual, don’t worry—it will make sense soon.

We’re beginning a journey through the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy. It’s the final book of the Torah (the first five books of the Bible), set on the plains of Moab just before Israel enters the Promised Land.

The first generation rescued from Egypt has died in the wilderness because of unbelief. Now a new generation stands on the edge of God’s promises. Moses, who will not enter the land himself, addresses them with a series of final sermons—preparing them for life with God in the land.launch

Do you ever feel a bit crazy for what you believe about Jesus? 

We live in a time and place where people are more educated than ever. Over half of school leavers in Wellington pursue further study. During my time in government, I was often in awe of the intellectual firepower of my colleagues. 

And yet so few of our fellow Wellingtonians believe in the God of the Bible.
