Weekly sermons from Open Icon Baptist Church, a surprisingly different Baptist congregation — inclusive, liturgical, fully online, and based in Melbourne, Australia. Our preaching takes Jesus seriously — engaging deeply with scripture, with the complexity of real life in difficult times, and with the conviction that the good news of God's love and justice is genuinely good news for everyone — no exceptions, no favourites. Preachers include our pastor Nathan Nettleton and a wide range of guest voices from across the Christian tradition. New episodes nearly every Sunday.

The resurrection doesn't restore what we lost — it reveals what we were always becoming: living icons through whom the world might glimpse the life of God.
When Jesus says "I am," he's not just making a claim — he's pulling a thread that runs from a burning bush through a valley of dry bones to a man walking out of a tomb.
The desire for a fair universe is real and grief-filled – but Jesus steps outside that framework entirely, and invites us into something better.
