Encounter
The gospels are full of people encountering Jesus. Many heard him speak and saw the miracles, yet those who went close enough were touched, and transformed by his presence. For each one, a life changing encounter with Jesus.
This series is our invitation into that same encounter.
PRAYER, SIMPLE.
“To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.” Martin Luther.
Ted Talk Sunday
The Cracking Communication course has given birth to “Ted Talk” Sunday when three people will share for just 7 minutes each on the same passage. It is an opportunity for more people to develop their skills, but more than that, it is a way that we can all benefit from the richness of God’s word within each of us.
Daniel Fast 2020
The Daniel Fast is a method of fasting used by hundreds of thousands of Christians throughout the world. The fast is based on the fasting experiences of the prophet Daniel along with standard Jewish fasting principles.

Transforming Truth
What we believe shapes us: our thoughts, actions and behaviours. When we believe truth, that change is transformational. A step into the light, a pathway to freedom. Let’s journey together.
Daniel Fast 2019
Our annual three week Daniel Fast with neighbouring church IIC, carried the theme of Kingdom Breakthrough. “Walking around these walls, I thought by now they’d fall … I’ve seen you move, you move the mountains. And i believe, I’ll see you do it again.”
Christmas 2018 Starlight
Jesus changed the world. Undisputed. 2,000 years on we are still talking about him and more people than ever are following him. But who is he? Do I understand him? Or has my view been obscured by layers of tradition, human opinion and popular thought?
5 Graces of Jesus
The Five Graces of Jesus is based on the verses in Ephesians 4:7-13. Each person in the Body of Christ is one of the 5, and that we need all 5 to make up the whole. A bit like a personality test, we all have a particular strength. Each of us has one.

Jesus No Filter
Mark wrote the first account of the life of Jesus. It’s simple, straightforward and succinct. It carries eye witness testimony. It’s as close to Jesus as we can get.
The Heart of Reformation
“The great Christian revolutions came not by the discovery of something that was not known before. They happen when someone takes radically something that was always there”. H. Richard Niebuhr. This is no more true than The Reformation itself. As we celebrate 500 years of this tumultuous time for the church, and the world, what rediscoveries demand a radical response from us?
Daniel Fast 2018
Burlington joined with many from ICC to fast, pray and worship through the first three weeks of the year.
Joy to the World
“It’s good news that will bring great joy to all the world.” This year at Burlington, all sorts of people have discovered for themselves the joy that Jesus brings.

The Disciples Toolkit
We are disciples. We know that. But are we disciple-makers? Well, yes we are! We cannot be a true disciple without being a disciple-maker.
Discipleship involves discipling - But how?
General Election 2017
Open the Floodgates
This three part teaching is based on a promise. God’s promise. It’s the only place in the Bible where we are invited to test him. The test is not based on the length of our prayers, the number of worship songs we can sing or the number of Bible verses we have memorised. Surprisingly it’s about money - yours and mine - and how we handle it.
Who Do You Think You Are?
Who am I? It’s a question we are all asking. Our identity matters.
Often our identity can trouble or confuse us. It can leave us anxious or even afraid. Easily we become prey to marketeers who promise with each brand so much more than the product.
A Well Good Christmas
With so much bad news, it can be hard to believe in any good news. As the Christmas adverts bombard us with subtle messages about how things can be better, it’s easy to be cynical, doubtful - same old, same old. Good news? I shouldn’t think so!
Influencer
Jesus calls us to be ‘salt’ and ‘light’, to become a Godly influence wherever he has placed us. Joseph’s calling is our calling. His story is ours. Whoever we are, and wherever God has placed us our destiny is to become people of great influence and Joseph’s journey is our road map.
Vital Signs
There are 7 signs of life. You may remember them from biology (or perhaps not!). In this series we will look at each of these Vital Signs to help us explore our own vitality, and that of the communities we are building.
Forgotten Sayings
The run up to Easter is traditionally a time for self examination. It’s a time to slow down, refocus and examine our hearts. This 40 day period called Lent recalls the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness preparing for his ministry. We will let the words of Jesus be our guide.
