Carey exists to serve churches by training leaders for ministry and mission. It is a privilege partnering with churches across Aotearoa in this way. If you have any questions, or any suggestions as to how we can better serve you, please let us know.
Sermon
The Carey Sunday message is from Dr John Tucker, Carey Principal, and is titled “God is doing a new thing”.

For many of us, the last two years have felt at times like a wilderness. Extended lockdowns, vaccine mandates, financial pressure, regular pivoting, constant uncertainty, have all taken their toll. Perhaps, like the people of Israel in exile, you’ve felt a little displaced, disoriented, disillusioned.
In this message John Tucker, Carey’s principal, shares from Isaiah 43 on the promises of God to people in need of hope. What God said to the Israelite exiles, he says to us:
“I am passionately committed to you, my people. And I am present with all my power to bring new life, both to you, and to the neighbourhoods in which I have you placed you as my witnesses. See, I am doing a new thing!”
Supporting Resources
We hope that these resources alongside John’s message can be used by your leaders and small groups.
We have prepared some discussion questions for you to use alongide the message.
Charles Hewlett, the National Leader of the Baptist Union of New Zealand, has written a short prayer for use on Carey Sunday. Would you, or one of your team, be willing to include this in your worship that day?
Promotional Resources
We have created some digital elements for you to use in your church communications.
