AUSTRALIA DAY MESSAGE
A message looking at the challenges and opportunities for the church today. Scripture passages: 1 Corinthians 1: 18 and Matthew 4: 17-22.
Sinners in the hands of a Loving God
In reflecting on two of Jesus’ ‘lost and found’ stories (Luke 15: 1-10) we consider the heart of God and the lengths to which he goes to rescue just one person. Indeed we are sinners in the hands of a loving God.
The Cost of Discipleship
What is the cost of discipleship? Is it too much? Jesus calls for radical commitment in this passage from Luke 14: 25-33. Taking up our cross and placing Jesus above all else, including family may not sound like good news, yet it is the way to life.
The sufficiency of Christ
In this message we look at Colossians 2 and see that Paul counters some false teaching, encouraging the believers to remain rooted in Christ.
The supremacy of Christ
In the second in the series on Colossians, looking specifically at Colossians 1: 13-29, we consider Paul’s teaching on the supremacy of Christ. We look at the significance of this teaching for us today.
An introduction to Colossians
In today’s message, the first in a mini-series ‘Ancient texts – modern application’ reading Paul’s letter to the Colossians, Leo Newell introduces the series and unpacks Colossians 1: 1-14. Two things become evident – the necessity of offering encouragement and the need to pray.
Evidence of a Spirit-led Church
What might a Spirit-led church look like. In this message Rev Leo unpacks this question looking at a passage from Galatians 6: 1-10.
