When was the last time you stopped to really look at a stained glass window?

Each one tells a story – drawn from Scripture, shaped by history, and still speaking into our lives today.

Stained Glass Windows explores the rich images of the Bible to help us rediscover our identity and purpose as God’s people.

Whether you’ve been part of church for years or are just beginning to explore faith, this is an invitation to slow down, look again, and be centred on Jesus.

Preacher:

Mike Hands

We are all searching. Searching for peace in the pressure of life, purpose in the chaos, love that truly lasts, and hope that endures beyond the moment. We try to find it in many places — in the approval of friends, the success of our careers, the excitement of new experiences, or the comfort of possessions. Yet, no matter how much we accumulate or achieve, something still feels incomplete.

The story of Christmas reminds us that while we have been searching for meaning, God has been searching for us. From the very beginning, He has been pursuing a relationship with us, longing to draw us close. And in Jesus, God stepped into our world — not from a distance, but into our messy, complicated, everyday lives.

Christmas isn’t just a story from the past — it’s a living invitation to encounter the One who makes all things new.

In Jesus, the search is over.

Three days in the tomb. When all hope was seemingly lost, Jesus rose from the grave. The crown of death has now achieved a crown of life for all who believe. Jesus leaves us with one mission – to preach the good news of Him to all the earth.
