Our love as followers of Jesus flows from being infinitely loved by our heavenly Father. This is the source of our love, and enables us to love as our Father desires us.

John writes this letter to the church in his twilight years. He has spent his life following and loving Jesus and now wants younger believers—his ‘dear children’—to live in a manner worthy of Christ. John’s words act as a…
Does God still speak today? And if he does, how do we learn to hear him?
In this series, God Speaks, we explore the God who is not distant or silent, but active, personal and present. Beginning with Jesus, the clearest revelation of God’s voice, we’ll look at how God speaks through Scripture, prophecy, our hearts, community and creation. As we grow in prayer, this series invites us not only to speak to God, but to slow down, listen and respond with faith.

This series is similar to the Revelation series from 2025, in that it has been a long time coming. The Street has a cessationist history when it comes to the Spirit - we’ve come a long way, but still have a long way to go to becoming a church that is fully Word and fully Spirit. One of things we long for is that the story of our church would not be able to be explained without the powerful ministry of the Holy Spirit through people. We eagerly desire our people to minister powerfully to one another through each person’s unique mix of spiritual gifts. We have a sense of where we want to get to and what the next steps are, so now is the time to stretch a little in our teaching and our practice.
The symbol of the cross is everywhere. It dangles at the bottom of gold necklaces; it’s found on the side of roads adorned with flowers; tattooed on celebrities and athletes; it’s the emblem for NGOs, ambulances and hospitals. It’s become so common that its original meaning has long been forgotten…
The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ radical message for his followers to live counter-culturally. It shocked his audience in first-century Israel, and its message continues to go against the grain 2,000 years later. If a church - if Christians - have lost their impact; if they’re wondering what difference following Jesus makes in their lives, the Sermon on the Mount is an invitation to return to Jesus’ essential teachings and to see our faith and our lives with fresh eyes.
One of the most challenging aspects of being a follower of Jesus is the other followers of Jesus around us! While each of us are being transformed to become more like Jesus, none of us is the finished product yet, and so we are going to bump into each other from time to time. And God expects that. Which is why around 60 times in the New Testament, Jesus or the apostles tell us to do or feel something towards “one another.” There is clearly something dear to God’s heart about how his children will relate to each other, and it all flows from a place of love. As we begin 2026, let this be a year defined by how we love each other well as family.
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given…” These are perhaps some of the most well-known words of Isaiah’s prophecy of the coming Messiah - Jesus - but what is less well-known is the meaning of the words that followed.
Do you ever get lost for words when it comes to prayer? There are things you want to say but are unsure how to say them? Or perhaps you wonder if there is more to prayer, more ways to pray than what you’re experiencing in your prayer life? The good news is that the Bible is full of prayers that have become timeless aids for believers throughout the generations. We can borrow their words, we can learn from their stories to enable us to pray to our Father in heaven with greater love, deeper humility and eager expectation that He will answer!

Revelation can feel confusing or overwhelming, but at its core, it’s a message of hope. This series delves into the final book of the Bible and the promise that Jesus is in control, evil will be held accountable, and the story concludes with restoration, not chaos.
In the end, it’s all about Jesus.
As we conclude our multi-year series in Acts, we come to the final chapters, which focus on Paul’s final missionary journey, and his subsequent arrest, trials and trip to Rome.
As we have seen throughout this series, God is the one orchestrating every event along the way and is present with his followers by the power of the Holy Spirit. He has empowered them, he scattered them, he sent them and he sustains them through it all, come what may. The same is true for us.
We’re a church on a mission to help people become total followers of Jesus Christ. And we have a big vision—a vision to see 1% of unchurched Wellington become baptised followers of Jesus Christ. We’re going to take opportunities to bring everyone from all our gatherings in one place, together. We’ll pray, worship, share stories of God at work, and be filled up to be sent out on mission in our city.
Easter is marked in the calendar every year—four days off, a long weekend! Chocolate eggs and hot cross buns! The thing is, the story of the cross can become too familiar to us, and we run the risk of becoming bored or uninspired by the most incredible story in history.
Our vision is about becoming a disciple-making movement transforming Wellington and the world with the good news of Jesus Christ. But what tangible steps will it take to reach that vision, and what will the world look like when we see it come to fruition?
Life is busy. We have huge demands on our time. The world is in chaos. How do we find calm in the storm? How do we remain centred when everything else feels off-kilter? We learn from the Master.
The start of a new year presents a fresh opportunity to establish new rhythms for the year ahead.
Prayer has been a growing focus for The Street over the last few years—24/7 Prayer, the establishment of a permanent prayer room, and more prayer groups beginning—and it’s clear the Lord is calling us to lean into and depend on it more. The Oswald Chambers quote is proving true: “Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.”
This Christmas, we look at the different heralding messages the angels gave leading up to Jesus’ birth: What did they require of the listeners then, and what does it now require of us? “The Christmas Invitation” is a simple but clear series in which we will hear God's ultimate invitation through his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is the penultimate installment in the extended Pillars series. So far we’ve covered the Bible (‘Bestseller’), Origins, Trinity and Salvation. These are the core pillars of belief the Church is built on. We come now to look at the church herself. We have previously taught on the nature of the church through metaphors: bride, body, temple, family, but this series is more focused on a practical view of the church - what is the church? How am I part of it? What am I to do in it? The series will help believers better understand what it means to be part of the church.
In Part 3 of our Acts series, we look at the results of the early church being scattered beyond Israel’s borders. Empowered by the Holy Spirit and scattered by persecution, the disciples see that God is at work, moving them beyond ethnic Israel and reaching non-Jewish people with the good news of Jesus Christ. They grasp the mission God has for them; they realise they’ve been sent.
The letter of 2 Thessalonians was sent to the church in Greece very shortly after Paul’s first letter. Not only are they suffering for their faith and need some encouragement, but they are now anxious and distressed that they are now experiencing the end of the world. We hear similar fears expressed about the future today. Where is all this heading? What is going to happen to Planet Earth? How can I know that everything is going to be okay? Anxiety about where things are heading plagues our people.

In part two of our Acts series, we’ll focus on what came next: persecution and the scattering of the disciples around the region to fulfil the Great Commission—spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth!
Easter is one of the two most significant celebrations of our calendar. The resurrection is the cornerstone of our faith and the historical moment around which the whole of human history and the story of salvation pivots. Our usual celebration mode leads us straight to the four Gospels, and with good reason. These are the only inerrant accounts of what happened in the passion week. And yet, the themes of Easter were already laid in the history of God and his people. This leads us to the Psalms.
The start of a new year presents a prime opportunity for envisioning people for the year ahead. We have come out of a long and tiring season of figuring out whether meeting locally is where God is leading us and whether we have the right leadership in the right places - and now we can take meaningful steps forward. This year isn’t a year of discerning; it’s a year of action.
This week we’re using the occasion of Waitangi Day to reflect on our place as a church and why we believe we need to begin a bicultural journey. Life Group this week is a good opportunity to look at some of the relevant Scriptures, reflect on one another’s perspectives, and pray for God’s wisdom and grace for both us and our nation with all that is ahead.
A new year often brings new resolutions—ideas we have to tinker with the rhythms or habits we want in our lives. But what if you could make one resolution that would impact every aspect of your life? Join our panel as we spend the next two weeks looking at our love for Jesus.
Join us for a two-part series where we will review the highlights from our sermons in 2023. Each week will feature a different panel of staff members who will share their reflections and insights, and take you behind the scenes of our sermon series.
Christmas is one of the biggest celebrations of the year for people—both Christians and non-Christians alike. As followers of Jesus, Christmas is a profound celebration of God entering into time to redeem humanity from sin. It’s so much more than gifts and time off work; it’s a time of year filled with opportunities for evangelism because everyone talks about Christmas! Here is an opportunity to share in the Christmas festivities but with life-giving gifts to offer people—the truth of how Jesus Christ fulfils their deepest longings; how He is the true source of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love.
Where is God in the day-to-day details of our lives? Does He care about my job? Does He care about my disappointments? These are questions we all ask from time to time. We wonder how interested God is in the little things of our lives. Ruth’s is the story of God working away in the unseen, a God who cares about our suffering, who takes an interest in our work, in our character, and in how we treat those around us. God is sovereign over every detail of our lives and weaving it all together for our good and His glory.
