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)

Abide - The Word Bears Fruit

Join us as we continue our current series, Abide.  This week Pastor Neli talks about the stretching and cutting it takes to bear good fruit.  If you abide in the vine you will be fully satisfied and it’s through your life, others will taste and see that the vine is good.  Will you trust God’s “pruning”, that you would live a fruitful life?

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.  Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. - John 15:1-2 (ESV)

Abide - The Word Sets Us Free

Join us as we continue with our current series, Abide.  This week Pastor Neli brings us closer to the Word of God as it sets us free from stumbling.  Jesus is the light that will light our paths in the darkness.   He shed his blood for us so that we may be set free.  Have you considered how you're living with a Kingdom mindset?

So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me.  And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."  As he was saying these things, many believed in him.  So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - John 8:28-32 (ESV)

Abide - The Word Feed Our Spirit

Join us as we continue with our current series, Abide.  This week Pastor Neli compares the word of God to bread in how it can nourish and sustain us.  Have you thought, If life doesn’t work out the way you want it, will you still worship God? When you consume the Word of God you will feel fulfilled.  How are we intending to feed our spirits today?

As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me.  This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever."  Jesus said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum - John 6:57-59 (ESV)
