Village Baptist

Village Baptist Come as you are. Be Transformed. Make a Difference. We believe that church should be a place that's open to all. You are welcome here.

It should be a place where positive transformation takes place. And it should be a place where people discover the good purpose God has for them. That's why our mission statement is: Come as you are.

Reversing Cain and Abel | 21st June 2026

Kia ora, and welcome to church!

This Sunday, we're continuing our 11-week series exploring the Ten Words (aka the Ten Commandments). Through this series, we'll explore what it means to allow these words to form us and how they keep us in the freedom that God has brought us into.

This week, Ps. Cam will reflect on the sixth word 'You shall not murder/kill' (Ex. 20:13). In this word, we'll see how it sets us on a trajectory that goes beyond the issue of taking life, to supporting the flourishing of others through acts of care toward others.

Note: All our online services are 2-3 weeks delayed from when they took place in person.

This Sunday, we're beginning a new 11-week series exploring the Ten Words (aka the Ten Commandments). Through this series, we'll explore what it means to allow these words to form us and how they keep us in the freedom that God has brought us into.

This week, we're exploring the sixth word (Ex. 20:12) given at Mt Sinai. In this message, we'll consider who the primary audience was, what that means for God's instruction to 'Honour your Father and Mother', and the trajectory it sets for the communities and homes we establish.

This week, we're exploring the second word (Ex. 20:2-3) given at Mt Sinai. Here, we'll see how the instruction not to make idols saves us from being devastated and rendered useless for the kingdom.
