We are having baptisms this Sunday and several more in the coming weeks. This is wonderful news, and there will be much rejoicing in Heaven due to these acts of obedience. This Sunday, Graham Jones asks the question, “What Does It Take to Please God?” It’s a question answered with three further questions we need to be regularly reminded of:1. Why do we get Baptised? 2. Why do we take Communion? 3. Why do we love God and others?

Ephesians 3:1'For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...'
Many believe that in Ephesians 3:1, Paul began praying the second of his prayers for these Asian believers. However, his prayer was interrupted – not by an external distraction, but by a compelling truth that monopolized his thoughts. He calls it ‘the mystery of Christ’, and he only returns to pray in vs 14. “For this reason, I bow my knee…” Paul calls the mystery “the mystery of Christ,” and verses 2-13 unveil the mystery as a living entity —a new humanity, a community of hope irresistibly united with Christ. It is the church.
This passage challenges us not to give up on being the church (the body, the bride of Christ), but like Paul to invest unreservedly in God’s eternal program for her and through her. There is no room in Ephesians 3 for casual, cool, or critical attitudes. Haphazard involvement is not an option. Only wholehearted participation honours the extraordinary mystery of God, planned in eternity, achieved through Christ, and made known to us and “the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places through Christ and His apostles.” Vs 9, 10.

Dion David explores Psalm 24 and the truth that everything—seen and unseen—belongs to God. Yet he still draws near. Through Jesus, He opened the way to his presence. God’s giving nature is part of our identity as His image-bearers. True generosity begins by offering our lives in worship. Will you open your heart to the King of Glory?

In the centre of the Garden stood two trees. At the centre of every relationship and conversation, two 'trees' still stand. Will we eat from the Tree of Knowledge—judgment, pride, division? Or the Tree of Life—God’s Spirit, grace, and love?Guest speaker Simon Ward joins us from Compassion Australia.

“I’m just trusting God on this one”, we say as we madly formulate a plan that we calculate should get the outcome we’re striving for… Trusting God is easy to say and much harder to do. As humans, our natural tendency is to trust ourselves and our own understanding, and to seek our own will, but this isn’t the call for followers of Jesus.

Jesus makes it clear that following Him comes at a great cost—denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and surrendering our lives to Him. Yet, this cost is nothing compared to the reward: true life, eternal hope, and the joy of being with Christ forever. In Matthew 16:24–28 and Romans 12:1, we see that discipleship is a call to sacrifice, but also a promise of something far greater than we could ever imagine.

In this season of transition, we’re reminded from Joshua 1:9 that God’s presence hasn’t paused — He is with us and going before us. Now is not a time to sit back, but to press in: to pray, encourage one another, and continue being the Church. Let’s walk in step with the Spirit and remain faithful in the in-between. The best is yet to come — because God is leading us.

The words of the Old Testament Prophet Micah should be very familiar to us as a church community - We have them before us as we enter the auditorium. But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple, this is what he requires of you -“Act Justly. Love Mercy and Walk Humbly with your God."This week, we will revisit this very important teaching that has helped us as a church. And while it sounds quite simple, it is in practice a constant yet life-giving challenge to return to over and over, ensuring that we do not forget what He is looking for in us. Ross will return to these words that have helped and challenged him, and with so many of you having worked them out in practical terms.

God doesn’t just call us to persevere; He equips us to persevere. He gives us strength for the journey. He gives us armour for the battle. He gives us His Spirit, His Word, and His people so we are never alone.

Copy and paste d"Because a victorious but unsuffering God is not good news"-Tyler Staton. During His time on earth, Jesus didn't take shortcuts or easy ways out. Jesus revealed a God like no other - a God who would weep, a God who would grieve and a God who would bleed. And he showed us a God worth trusting.Could it be true that God has felt the darkness and helplessness, and He promises to redeem our suffering? And if we hold this to be true, what difference does it make when we find ourselves in the storms of life?
Have you ever looked around and thought to yourself, ‘This isn’t how things should be… It’s not right.’? You’d be right to think that. In the brokenness of this world, we long (or as Romans says, we ‘groan’) for the world to be made right again – and it will be made right again. This is our hope. And it’s this hope that helps us to persevere.
Often times the walk of faith can feel overwhelming or like a bit of a slog. We will be looking at the book of Exodus to see how an understanding of the Character of God shapes us and our ability to persevere. We will look at the boldness of Moses’s request to see God’s glory and God’s kindness in showing his goodness.

Each of us has a race set before us, we are not in charge of how that race looks but we do have a choice - run it with perseverance. The author of Hebrews wrote, 'And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith'.
In light of all that Paul, Silvanus and Timothy wrote to the Thessalonians, the last portion of the letter is specific instruction about the way they were to live while they awaited the second coming. This advice is as relevant to us as it was to them.

In four of the five chapters of 1 Thessalonians, Paul encourages, instructs, reminds, and mentions the importance of gratitude. This theme reoccurs throughout the New Testament. We will take some time together to look again at what we tend to think should just happen when things are going well.
Your work matters. Not just what you do—but why you do it. When faith, love, and hope fuel your life, the world takes notice.
