You Asked For It - Awakening The Slumbering Spirit

Join us as we continue our new series, You Asked For It.  This week Pastor Neli and Tina talk about what it means to have a slumbering spirit.  Are you awake enough to hear Jesus when He approaches your heart?  How do you overcome the struggles in your heart?  What will it take for you to live your life awakened in the spirit?

But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper,  and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” - Ephesians 5:13-14 (ESV)

You Asked For It - It's Complicated

Join us as we start our new series voted by you, You Asked For It.  This week Pastor Neli teaches us how we can handle situations with other people when there are differences in our opinions and beliefs. What happens when you’re around people that don’t share the same faith as you? Do you run from cultural differences?  How do you communicate your faith? Are you ready to take the Gospel wherever God may lead you?

Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols. So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there. - Acts 17:16-17 (ESV)

Grace Changes Everything - The Hippo and The Elephant

Join us as we continue our current series, Grace Changes Everything.  This week Pastor Neli talks about some of the hypocrisy we might see in the church and the sensitive topic of carrying out The Gospel.  How deep are the relationships that you have with people who are not from your ethnicity? What kind if Bible is your life for those around you who has not heard of Jesus?

For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God. - Romans 2:28-29 (ESV)

Grace Changes Everything - The Misconception

Join us as we continue with our current series, Grace Changes Everything.  This week Pastor Neli discusses some of the misconceptions of The Bible.  Have you been told not to judge others?  Do you believe you are made righteous by good works?  What is it that you’re seeking?  God judges the secrets of our hearts.  What does your secret place look like?

Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? - Romans 2:3-4 (ESV)

Grace Changes Everything - Beautiful Collision: The Lure

Join us at Every Nation Brisbane as we continue our new series, Grace Changes Everything.  This week Pastor Neli speaks to us about being lured away from the path God has us on.  Your relationship with God needs to be one where you’re not ashamed.  God wants intimacy that is intentional but does He have high visibility in every are of your life?  Will you turn in every area of your life to worship the One who has never given up on you?

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. - Romans 1:21 (ESV)

Grace Changes Everything

Join us as we start our new series, Grace Changes Everything.  This week Pastor Neli starts going through the Gospel according to The Book of Romans.  The Gospel is a Gospel of grace which is undeserved unmerited favour.  It is only by God’s grace we have been saved and redeemed.  There is only freedom in Jesus when you fully throw yourself into following him. Do you live a life that is centred on the Gospel?

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. - Romans 1:1-7 (ESV)

The Cross and The Crown - The Constant Gardener

Join us on Resurrection Sunday as we continue with our series, The Cross and The Crown.  This week Pastor Neli helps us to tend our gardens.  The garden is more than just leaves and soul, it is relationship, displays beauty of the creator, and is a place of provision where we lack nothing as God provides everything. As followers of Jesus, we need to tend to the garden of our hearts and of our relationship with Him.  As God calls you, will you meet Him in the garden of deeper relationship ?

They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” - John 20:13-17 (ESV)

The Cross and The Crown - Keeping Up Appearances

Join us as we start our new series, The Cross and The Crown.  This week Pastor Neli helps us with our perception of Jesus.  How well do you see that this world has nothing to offer you in order to see Jesus and recognise Him for who he is?  Do you see that Jesus is the only saviour just as He sees that you're worth saving? 

And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields.  And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! - Mark 11:8-9 (ESV)

This Is Us - Arrows and Warriors

Join us as we continue our current series, This Is Us.  This week Mark Dellit speaks to us about our youth and what it means to be arrows and warriors.  As a body of Christ we are called to defend and empower our young people who are a heritage and blessing from The Lord.  You have not been called to be bystanders in the kingdom of God.  We all have a role to play in the battle for the next generation.  What role will you play?

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. - Psalm 217:3-5 (ESV) 

This Is Us - Immediately

Join us today as we continue with our This Is Us series.  This week Pastor Joshua talks to us about our church value outreach and how we can respond to God’s calling.  God wants to work in your life and He is calling you to respond. When we respond to God immediately, you don't give any room to fear and doubt. How will you respond?  Will you respond to the call of God immediately?

Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. - Matthew 4:20-22 (ESV)
