The Road To Sunday - The Passover

Join us as we start our new series, The Road To Sunday.  This week Adam Longfield goes in-depth about Passover and the blood that was shed by our king Jesus. How can you be in right standing with God and know what it means to be born again and enter His Kingdom?

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”  Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.  This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. - Matthew 26:26-28 (NIV)

The Others - From Car Seat to Driver’s Seat

Join us as we continue with our current series, The Others.  This week Pastor Neli speaks to us about parents and children and the purpose for these roles. God wants to use us to build in the life of others especially those who will become our offspring. What are you building with your life? Are we going to disciple our children or will we allow culture to disciple them?  As parents are we creating environments where the anointing of the Holy Spirit can flow in our parenting towards our children?

 

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
    the fruit of the womb a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
    are the children of one's youth.
Blessed is the man
    who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
    when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

- Psalms 127:3-5 (ESV)

The Others - Drunk In Love

Join us live or in person as we continue our series, The Others.  This week Pastor Neli helps us to be contempt in the season God has us in, as he talks about marriage and single-hood. When we look at the model for love we should look at how God loves us. How is your intimacy with God? How does “being filled with the Spirit of God” help you to live out in the company that you keep?

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.  And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit - Ephesians 5:15-18 (ESV)

The Others - Great Commandment or Great Condemnation?

Join us in person or online as we commence a new series, "The Others".  This week Pastor Neli encourages us how we ought to be towards our neighbour.  When we experience the power of God's love in our life, we’ll know how to apply that to others.  You’ll only be able to love your neighbour out of the abundance of God’s love and the revelation of God’s love in your life.  Are you willing to love God with all you have in how you love your neighbour?

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” - Mark 12:30-31 (ESV)

A Church That...Loves Family

Join us in person or online as we continue our series, A Church That.  This week Henry Peterson helps us to look at what God does in relation to the design of families.  Whoever does the will of the father and loves God, this is family.  God has a design and a plan for families.  How might you see more of God in your family?

Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. - Colossians 3:12-14 (ESV)

A Church That...Loves The Next Generation

Join us online or in person as we continue our current series, A Church That.  Pastor Neli and Campus Minister Samantha Thomas talk about God's Love for the next generation.  Are we willing to be a people and a church who still has hope for the next generation? God is utilising you to reach the next generation but what role will you play? What kind of report is your life for the current generation?

Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and “God has visited his people!” And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country. - Luke 7:16-17 (ESV)

A Church That...Makes Disciples

Join us online or in person as we continue our current series, A Church That.  This week Pastor Neli talks to us about making disciples and whether we see this as a duty or a delight.  Before we make disciples, we need to meet God so we can be a disciple first.  There is no making disciples without coming back to your first love, coming back to Him who is our priority, and having his vision so we can see things from His perspective.  Are you imitating the way you follow Jesus in life?

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV)

A Church That...Reaches Out

Join us in person or online as we continue with our current series, A Church That.  This week Henry Peterson helps us assess how we reach out to others using three parables from The Bible. What connection do we have with the lost? Who are we befriending and building with relationally? We cannot reach out to others unless we ourselves have been reached by God and experienced Him in lives first.

And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. - Luke 15:6-7 (ESV)

A Church That...Worships God

Join us as we start a new series, "A Church That...".  This week Pastor Neli talks to us about what it means to truly worship God. A church is not just a building. It’s who we are and Worship is more than just singing. Real worship happens in places of disappointment and trial when things don’t work out the way we want them to. Be encouraged that God is more interested in your heart rather than the notes you sing.

And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. - Luke 24:25-27 (ESV)

Abide - The Word Keeps Us From Evil

Join us in person or online as we continue with our current series, Abide.  This week Pastor Neli helps us to reflect personally how our lives line up with the word of God. Do you believe that God can do what he has done in his word, in your life?  If you don’t have the word of God in you, you will be defeated. Will you trust God with your life today?

“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.  Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you.  For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. - John 17:6-8 (ESV)
