Preacher: Joshua Lattimore

Mark 10:17-31; John 16:7-15

Welcome to this week's message from Saint James Glen Iris. In this sermon, we explore the fourth step on the faith journey: the moment people start to seek Jesus.

Looking at Jesus' encounter with the rich young ruler, we see what it means to be guides to truth. As people start to seek Jesus, we are to help by answering their questions, helping them see their deep need, and how Jesus is the only answer. Sometimes as guides, we even need to let people go on a different path.

John 4:1-26; Rev 22:12-21

Welcome to this week's message from Saint James Glen Iris. In this sermon, we explore the third step on the journey to faith: becoming open to the change that Jesus brings.

Looking at Jesus' encounters with Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman, and the man at the pool, we see how he lovingly challenges people, helps them recognise their deepest need, and shows that he alone can truly satisfy.

Discover how God can use us to help friends and family take another step towards trusting Jesus.

Romans 12:9–21; 1 Peter 4:7–1

Welcome to this week's message from Saint James Glen Iris. In this sermon, we explore what it looks like to live as the bride of Christ. Hospitality is not a gift for some, but obedience for all.

Often, we, the church, are friendly and nice to one another, but true fellowship as siblings goes much deeper in affection and love. The only way we can live out our faith together is to be close in fellowship and intimacy, not standing at arm's length.

Drawing from Romans 12 and 1 Peter 4, we're reminded that God's sacrificial love is to shape the life of his church through genuine relationships, generous hospitality, and practical care for one another.

Discover how opening our homes and sharing our lives can become a powerful witness to the welcoming love of Jesus.

John 3:1–21, Titus 3:1-11

Welcome to this week's message from Saint James Glen Iris. In this sermon, we explore how to foster curiosity about Jesus among those around us.

When we humbly live as followers of Jesus, we look different to those around us. As people see this difference, they can often become curious about why. We do not need to have it all together, but through our lives lived authentically under Jesus our King, and through thoughtful questions, we can help people become curious about what really matters - life in Jesus.

Preacher: Josh Latimore (trainee)

Mark 5:21-43

Welcome to this week's message from Saint James Glen Iris. In this sermon, we explore the need to build trusting relationships with our non-Christian friends before we share our faith.

The beginning of faith in Jesus is often trusting someone who already believes. People are more open to hearing about Jesus when they know they are genuinely loved, not treated as projects.

Preacher: Revd Samuel Crane Matthew 13:44–46; Joshua 24:1–15; Luke 12:22–34

Welcome to this week's message from Saint James Glen Iris. In this sermon, we explore the treasure worth everything.

The Christian life is not ultimately about money, but about what we treasure most. Jesus' call to "seek first the kingdom of God," this message invites us to see the incomparable value of God's kingdom, surrender our lives to Christ, and discover the joy, peace, and eternal hope that far outweigh anything we leave behind. When God becomes our greatest treasure, everything else finds its proper place.
