Our Kids Holiday Club program will encourage kids to explore through games, craft, music, food and bible stories. There is also a huge, free, family fun night.
Chaos & Control
Tonight we are presented with a stark contrast between mankind and God. Firstly we see Abram and Sarai make a compromise, deciding to do things their way instead of God’s. Their decision results in chaos. But then we see God intervene. On display are God’s immense compassion and his perfect control. How will we respond to a God such as this?
Jesus Our Great High Priest
Today’s passage begins: “Since we have a great high priest …. Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess”. For many of us the idea of priests and their role is not particularly familiar. But in the Old Testament priests had a vital role, standing between God and the people, offering sacrifices for their sins, and keeping them connected to God. Do we needs priests to serve us in this way today? Well, no! And the reason why is explained in today’s passage. Jesus himself has become our “great high priest” who suffered and died for us, and can therefore sympathise with us and represent us directly before God. We don’t need an earthly priest but we do need Jesus. Are you “holding firmly” to Him today?
An Amazing Conversation About Trusting God
Do you ever find it hard to trust God? It is comforting to read in the scriptures how God works in the lives of his people, enabling them to trust in him. Listen as Pastor Dave looks at Genesis 15 and how God worked in Abram’s life, enabling him to trust the promises that God had given to him.
Graham Sercombe: Parable of the Sower
Guest Speaker Graham Sercombe shares from this challenging passage.
Answering The Call
God has a plan to make things right in this world. As we begin our new series, “God’s master plan” we meet the man with whom that plan began, Abram. As we look at Abram’s call, his obedient response and ongoing faith, we are forced to ask ourselves how we will respond to the call of God.
Barry Forrest: Sharing with more than words
Tune in as Guest Speaker Rev Barry Forrest shares about his experiences sharing the gospel to the indigenous people this NAIDOC week.
Safe In The Care Of A Loving God
Psalm 23 contains possibly the best known and best loved verses in the whole Bible. They have been a massive comfort to millions of people, especially when going through difficult times and even death. But can we genuinely say: “The Lord is my shepherd”? Only if that is true does the rest of the Psalm really apply. But if we really do know the Lord as our Shepherd, then these truths comes to life. Let God “restore your soul” as Pastor Murray takes us through this great old Psalm in this message.
Entering God’s Rest
Following on from last week, the writer focuses on the theme of “God’s rest.” He wants us to examine the state of our hearts as we consider the nature of this rest and the way in which we enter into it.
Our Relationship With God
God is vast, immense and we cannot fully comprehend him. Yet at the same time he is intensely intimate and draws us into a relationship with him, whereby we can know and experience his presence in a personal way. Listen as Pastor Dave shares from Psalm 139 about our ultimate relationship with our Heavenly Father, the God who made us.
Beware the Hardened Heart
The Christian life is a journey that begins with an “exodus” (salvation) and leads to an “entry” (heaven), and so much can happen in between. Today’s passage sounds a sober warning of the dangers every believer faces on this journey. Just as the Israelites grumbled against God and turned away from Him in the desert on the way to the Promised Land, we can also start to doubt God when things don’t go our way in life. Before long our hearts become hardened towards Him, and rebellion and disobedience soon follow. But this doesn’t have to be the case if we heed the advice we find in this great passage!
Reclaiming Love Wrap Up: Q&A Session
Christ has given us new life and relationships are the primary context in which we live out this new life. As we wrap up our “Reclaiming Love” series, let us consider why it is so important to express, in our relationships, who we are and what we have in Christ.
Includes Q&A Panel Session
Why Hold Fast To Jesus?
Have you ever had a crisis of faith? For whatever reason, you’ve found yourself questioning your beliefs. The words of songs like “Jesus is all I need” somehow don’t ring true. The writer of Hebrews had people like this in mind when he wrote these words, particularly those who felt like giving up and turning back to their old Jewish ways. But Jesus really IS better …. so keep your keep fixing your thoughts on Jesus …. keep holding fast to Him. Through all the struggles of life Jesus is the faithful, dependable One. Don’t let go of Him. Keep persevering in your faith. He won’t let you down.
