Owned - How God Builds

Join us at Brisbane Central as we start a new series, Owned.  This week Pastor Neli discusses how we can take ownership of what God is building. Are we using our lives to build walls that will outlast us?  What you build in this life, will it echo for generations to come?  Knowing that we are called to a digital Babylon, are you built to last?  How might we be builders with an eternal mindset?

Unless the Lord builds the house,
    those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
    the watchman stays awake in vain.
It is in vain that you rise up early
    and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
    for he gives to his beloved sleep.- Psalms 127:1-2 (ESV)

On The Job - Excellence

Join us at Brisbane Central as we continue our current series, On The Job.  This week Pastor Neli talks about what it means to be excellent for God. If you are made in the image of God, then how best do you reflect that image excellently?  We are called to walk in a spirit of excellence. Excellence does not happened accidentally. When you stand out, do so to the glory of God. What will it take for you to live an excellent life?

And the king spoke with them, and among all of them none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore they stood before the king. And in every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his kingdom. - Daniel 1:19-20 (ESV)

On The Job - Generosity

Join us at Brisbane Central as we continue with our current series, On The Job.  This week Pastor shows us examples of generosity and how we should live in light of this. How can we be a shining light and example to those around us? You can’t be generous according to Jesus, until you experience His generosity first. Have you found yourself in wonder and awe at what God has done in your life? Generosity is not just an act, it starts in our hearts. How can you be an example of a living God through your generosity? 

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:12-13 (ESV)

On The Job - Friendship

Join us at Brisbane Central as we continue our current series, On The Job.  This week at Pastor Neli helps us to understand the importance of friendship. God is inviting you to enable Him to be the master gardener that will prune you so you can bare much fruit. This is all apart of friendship. Who has God called you to value their worth, know more deeply, and love sacrificially?

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:12-13 (ESV)

On The Job

Join us as we start our new series, On The Job.  This week we are honoured to have Pastor Timothy Loh, Senior Pastor of Every Nation Malaysia. God is the engineer and architect and put lives together so you can do greater things together for God. Think about what we do in the marketplace and how we can shine for God. Are you an ambassador ready to boldly proclaim the Gospel as you ought to speak?

Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world - Philippians 2:14-15 (ESV)

The Greatest Hits - Wisdom In The Psalms

Join us as we continue with our current series, The Greatest Hits.  This week Pastor Neli is joined by Dr Wallace Panlilio, expert in research based learning principles and techniques, to discuss how we interrupt wisdom and learning.  The benchmark for wisdom is the scriptures but what does wisdom look like through a biblical lens? Godly wisdom delights in God’s ways. The gift of God is wisdom, but the choice is yours. Will you choose to live in wisdom or will you choose your own way?

Trust in the Lord, and do good;
    dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart. - Psalms 37:3-4 (ESV)

The Greatest Hits - Praise The Lord

Join us as we continue our current series, The Greatest Hits.  This week Pastor Henry teaches us how we can Praise the Lord.  Praising God is not just what happens on a Sunday during service but rather in our daily lives. God is so much bigger than what happens to us. When was the last time your were grateful and thankful to God? Choose to adore and obey God in your every day life as praise is our genuine response to the goodness of God. 

Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. - Psalms 146:1-2 (ESV)

The Greatest Hits - Meditation in the Psalms

Join us as we continue our current series, The Greatest Hits.  This week Pastor Neli talks about how we can meditate in the Psalms. What does it mean to meditate? To meditate is to find God in deeper and unseen places.  Try slowing down for loving union with God, hear God's word and let it transform your heart.  

Blessed is the man
    who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
    nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and on his law he meditates day and night. - Psalms 1:1-2 (ESV)

The Greatest Hits - The Lament

Join us as we start our new series, The Greatest Hits where we discuss the different genres of the Book of Psalms.  This week Pastor Neli talks to us about what it means to lament. Have you ever cried out to God? Do you tend to lament towards God or do you stand and point the finger at Him?  Choose to turn towards God in prayer and bring your complaints to Him, ask boldly and choose to put your trust in Him.

Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
    for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
The Lord has heard my plea;
    the Lord accepts my prayer.
All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
    they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment. - Psalms 6:8-10 (ESV)

The Deeper Life - Re-Envisioning The Promised Land

Join us as we continue our current series, The Deeper Life.  This week Pastor Neli helps us to reflect on the destiny which God’s has promised.  The Bible reveals God to be Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and who ever does not honour Jesus Christ as God, does not honour God.  The true promised land is in the presence of God. It is not a geographical location. If we are to experience our promised land, we must work to stay in God’s presence.  Are you willing to give up what you think is best for what God knows is far better than your best?

And the Lord said to him, “This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there." Deuteronomy 34:4 (ESV)
