Sunday Sermons from Every Nation Brisbane Central

Join us as we start our new series - CSI. Christmas Story Investigation.  Pastor Neli will paint the picture for us about the birth of Jesus Christ and the coming of the shepherds and the 3 kings. Who were they?  What brought them to Jesus? How did they respond?  

RELEASE.  Part 4 in our Multiply series.  This week Tina Atiga speaks power to the Body, Soul and Spirit in each of us.  It is when we release the our spirit and not let ourselves be our own hindrance, then we can let the Holy Spirit live within us.

RAISE.  This week is part 3 in our series Multiply.  Pastor Neli speaks volume to the letters of Paul in the book of 2 Timothy.  We mustn't forget what God has called us to do.  Let us make disciples, not clones.  Jesus Christ is our model so let us raise up disciples to be like Jesus, not like one another

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. - 2 Timothy 4:1-5

RELATE.  Part 2 in our Multiply Series.  Pastor Neli tells us about the story of Paul and Silas (Acts 16:9-34) and how they were called to do greater things on the way of being called to Macedonia.  Our calling is to help other people to know about God.  To relate to one another, to the lost and to God. If you really want to live and relate like Christ related, are you really willing to take up your cross and follow him?

REACH.  Part 1 in our Multiply Series.  Pastor Neli tells the parable of the Good Samaritan and the importance of reaching out to those in need.  We might need to get messy and we might need to go to places which are unknown to us but let us be tuned to God and He will lead us to where we are called to be.

Our last part in the Outlasters series.  Join us as Roisin speaks wisdom to stewardship and making our mark on the things God has given us.  God is the owner of all things including our finances where as we (man) are the stewards of the things God has given us. So let us not worry about how much of our finances we get to keep but let us more so seek within ourselves how much we get to give back to the Lord.

Continuing on from last week in our Outlasters series, David Coss brings us a message on Tithes and Offerings.  Tithes are like the rent your owe and Offerings are like the seeds you sow.  Has this already become part of our regular living?  Will this be what we leave behind in the generations to come?

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work

Let's kick start our new series, Outlasters.  Pastor Neli communicates the book of Matthew to teach us the importance of knowing where our time, talent, ties and treasures lie.  Is the Lord our God Lord of all these things?  We need to worry less about today's happiness and more about tomorrow's readiness.  How are we preparing ourselves for God's Kingdom?

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you" - Matthew 6:33

Concluding our Podcast series on "Centered", our campus minister Roisin Welsh continues to enlighten us with how Christ had influenced the lives of many.  Talking through Colossians chapter 4 we come to experience the importance of keeping Jesus Christ the center of our lives in everything we do.   As Paul had written in the book of Colossians for us to follow further instructions, 

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. - Colossians 4:2-6

Pastor Neli never fails to keep us reminded about our walk with Christ. This week we continue on our Centered series and travel further into chapter 3 of the Book of Colossians.  What role do we take as part of our relationship with God and in our relationship with others?  Are we living each day for our Lord?

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him - Colossians 3:17
