What was it like Mary?
What was it like Mary, to see your boy, your precious boy hanging on that cross, shamed and dying? You knew it from the beginning didn’t you, that your boy was different, set apart? The angel had told you so, but did you really expect it to end like this, you who bore him in your womb, you who cradled and cuddled him and nursed him at your breast; you who taught him and trained him, guided and disciplined him?…
Easter! More than hot-cross buns!
It was just a few days after Christmas when the major supermarkets in Australia stocked their shelves with Good Friday’s hot-cross buns. They do it every year in spite of howls of protests from the general public. Of course, for the retail sector Easter is simply another marketing opportunity and clearly, the product sells, so for all those who protest many more don’t share their concern. The significance of the Christian seasons is of little interest to the likes of…
Christmas celebrations at Mudgeeraba Uniting
You’re invited to be our guests as celebrate the wonder of Christmas at Mudgeeraba Uniting Church. Our Christmas Eve service at 6.30 pm and our Christmas morning service at 8.00 am feature many of the much-loved carols. While it is tempting to introduce contemporary Christmas songs we know that many people who attend worship at Christmas appreciate the traditional carols. Of course, we also hear the story of the first Christmas as recorded in the Gospels.
Messages
Easter Sunday message
In this message Rev Leo describes the accomplishments and benefits of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for those who put their faith in him.
Palm Sunday Madness
In this message delivered on Palm Sunday, as recorded in Luke 19: 28-40, Rev Leo looks at the absurdity of this ‘triumphal’ entry in Jerusalem. He notes that the absurdity of it all continues through to the resurrection.
Extravagant Devotion
Today Rev Leo focused on the story of the dinner party held in Jesus’ honour held at the home of Lazarus, Mary and Martha and invited us to consider whether we are like Judas or Mary. Mary had poured a jar of expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet before wiping them with her hair. Judas chastised her for this ‘wasteful’ act. Read the story from John 12: 1-8.
Joshua and our mission
Drawing on the reading from Joshua 5: 9-12 Graham encourages the congregation to think of our mission in our cultural context.
