We kick off a new series this week, one on mission, vision and values. We'll be looking at the mission vision and values of the Capital "C" Church as well as our own here at Rechurch. This Sunday is our 10 year Birthday and a chance for us to reflect on where we are now, and where we'd like to be as a church looking forwards at the next 10 years.

We Are Church - Re:Vision

We start out another new series today focusing on some practical ways to follow Jesus. The series name comes from the longer phrase 'may you be covered by the dust of your Rabbi' - which was often said to young men training to become Rabbis ... but what does this have to do with us? Take a listen and find out.

Dust of the Master - Expose the Heart

With Saturday being Waitangi day, we look at our country's past and the broken promises that were made. We think about the problems that we still see today which was a direct result of that and we ask, what should we be doing as a church to help fix the future?

Toa Takitini - Te Tiriti

We're back for the year from our unplugged series, and straight out the gate into our new series 'Toa Takitini' which can be translated in English to 'Better Together'. We'll be focusing in on 2 Cor 5:18-21 and talking about God's plan of reconciliation for all humankind back to himself, but also his desire to see all of his creation reconciled with each other.

Toa Takitini - Reconciliation

In another Whanau service, Jodi guides us through today's topic - Love. Again we revisit what love is, and how it can often be harder to do than we'd think. We'll be looking through Luke 1:57-80.

Advent - Love/Aroha

We talk about Joy, but more specifically how to choose to be Joyous in circumstances that we wouldn't naturally be happy about. We look into Luke 1:39-56 this week and Bruce sends us out with some practical ways to be full of Joy.

Advent - Joy/Harikoa

This week we focus on the peace that God brings us through his son Jesus. How only Jesus can heal the divide between us and God. We'll be examining Luke 1:26-38.

Advent - Peace/Rangimarie

We kick off our Advent series as we head into Christmas and look at Luke 1:5-25. We see how the message of the coming Saviour was given to Zechariah and Elizabeth and how their son would be the one to introduce him to the world.

Advent - Hope/Tūmanako

To complete the series, we decided to have a Whanau service and wrap up what we've learned as a whole church. The kids join us as they weren't in the alternate circle Sunday services, wo we re-cover some of the same ground. Readings for this week come from: Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 4:19.

Te Ara I Ihu Ariki - Wrap it all up!

Part of Jesus' mission was to bring all of humanity back together as one, and to see that we're all made in God's image. Today we focus on looking past the things that divide us as our guest speaker Paul Askin talks about his experiences living Life Together in another culture.

Te Ara I Ihu Ariki - Life Together

This week we review Rechurch's Core Values. While it is good to do this to remind ourselves of them, we also belive that thye are not just a collection of values but a roadmap for growing disciples.

Te Ara I Ihu Ariki - Core Values

Partnering with World Vision to highlight the plight of the poor and the church's response. This week we took part in the Matthew 25 Challenge. We shared our experience of how we experienced what it's like to live in poverty firsthand by giving up some of freedoms. We also had some time to do things to bless some of our local community support groups.

Te Ara I Ihu Ariki - Matthew 25 Challenge

After working through our discipleship manual in a circle Sunday, we're back together following the way of King Jesus. This week we're looking at missional communites and how the help us grow indiviually in smaller groups, so that the church as a whole can grow. We talk about the importance of not going it alone.

Te Ara I Ihu Ariki - Missional Communities

This week we have another whānau service as we continue on with our series 'Te Ara I Ihu Ariki'. Bruce takes us on a trip to discover our mission and realize that we should expect to encounter suffering along the way.

Te Ara I Ihu Ariki - Seeking renewal

We're back into our first whānau service since the lockdown, we start to think about who we can reach out to within our communities that we interact with each eeek.
