The Mystery of Us - Ephesians 6:10-13

Join us as we continue our current series, The Mystery of Us.  This week Pastor Neli helps us determine how we can battle and defend ourselves in spiritual warfare.  There is no maturity in our Christianity if we isolate. The best way to grow in God is to stay connected to his church. So put on the armour of God, doing all you can, and stand firm.

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. - Ephesians 6:11-12 (ESV)

The Mystery of Us - Ephesians 4

Join us as we continue with our current series, The Mystery of Us.  This week pastor Neli helps us to identify how we can walk in our new self in Christ. We should worship God with our integrity and excellence. Will you choose today to follow the new life that God has for you or will you hold onto the old life?

assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. - Ephesians 4:21-24 (ESV)

The Mystery of Us - Relating to Others

Join us as we continue our series, The Mystery of Us.  This week Henry Peterson talks to us about our relationships with God and to those around us. How does the biblical lens look when it comes to relating to others?  Trust, honesty, and humility are essential in building strong and healthy relationships with the people around us as we reflect to them the kind of relationship we are having with God our Father.

Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. - Ephesians 5:31-33 (ESV)

The Mystery of Us - Ephesians 3-4:16

Join us as we continue with our current series, The Mystery of Us.  Pastor Neli continues to reflect from the Book of Ephesians, this week focussing on chapters 3 and 4.  Grace by nature is undeserved. We don’t deserve God’s grace but He gives it to us.  True worship happens wether you’re suffering or not.  He is glorified while we walk along side one another.

And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus.  By God’s grace and mighty power, I have been given the privilege of serving him by spreading this Good News. - Ephesians 3:6-7 (NLT)

The Mystery of Us - Ephesians 2

Join us as we continue our series, The Mystery of Us.  This week Pastor Neli reflects from the Book of Ephesians chapter 2 as we focus on following God rather than the course of this world. Do your actions flow out of your thankfulness for the grace that God has given you?

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV)

The Mystery of Us - Ephesians 1

Join us as we start a new series, The Mystery of Us.  This week Pastor Neli helps us to develop a deeper relationship with God's word starting in Ephesians 1.  What ever you believe will determine how you live but be encouraged that God wants His power to be upon you and living through you.  

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. - Ephesians 1:15-21 (ESV)

The Road To Sunday - The Ressurection

Join us as we continue our series, The Road to Sunday.  This week Pastor Neli and members of Every Nation Brisbane family provide a creative story about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. - Luke 24:1-9 (ESV)

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)
