Current Sermon Series - Darling Street Anglican Church

We start a new season of teaching studying the letter of 2 Corinthians. In this introduction Mark Leach looks at the first 11 verses of the letter, focussing on the incredible reality that God comforts us in order that we can comfort others with the comfort we ourselves have received.

In this talk you will learn how God has set us free to live lives of love. With an integration of Galatians 5 and Internal Family Systems theory, this is both insightful and inspiring and practical!

This exposition of Psalm 36 helps us understand our humanity and what this means for our connection with God.

As we start 2022 it is with the prospect of another year of uncertainty. Of disruption. Of a pandemic exposing the fault lines in our politics, our economies, our supply chains, and our hearts. So what are we to do? How are we to live? This passage, Luke 3:15-22, points us in the direction of hope. Hope that all that is truly broken in the world will be fixed. All the injustice ended. All sickness healed. All evil eradicated. Listen, learn, hope.

Mary shows us how to have faith in God even in the face of all the 'counter-factuals'

Listen to the radical implications of the way in which God chooses to fix/heal the world. In particular, the overturning of the human tendency to use  power and privilege for selfish ends, and thus setting the conditions for women to flourish and for men and women to get along!

In this episode you will learn some ancient ways of praying - breath prayers, fixed hour prayers, and then some experimentation with the postures of prayer that we find in the bible. Listen. Learn. Pray continually.

This episode explores how we are to Incarnate the Love of Jesus in the world.
