The Exchange hosted by the Melbourne City Adventist Church

Coronavirus. Floods. Kobe Bryant. George Calombaris. How can we navigate the anxiety that comes from knowing we could lose everything? How and where can we find the reasons to live with hope and assurance?

In part 1 of this series, we looked at how the Bible calls readers to a life of justice. This week we will look at what it looks like for a church to respond to that call as a corporate body of believers and as individuals.

In our busy daily life, sometimes we forget to look to Jesus and trust in him, as a child trusts his daddy. This Saturday we are going to discover how simple words like head, shoulders, knees and toes can help us to remember the most important thing: TIME with JESUS!

Does God care what happens to the land? To animals and plants? What is the Christ-centred response to the environment?

What the Bible says about compassion.

How can we know, love and serve God better in the new year?

The New Testament writer Paul says in Philippians 3 that he moves on from the past and reaches forward to the future. Join us this Saturday as we explore a perspective on ending 2019 and preparing for 2020 with Jesus.

During the holidays, how can we choose to practice kindness instead of grumpiness, grace instead of gossip, and forgiveness instead of bitterness?

How can we overcome sin and temptations in our daily lives?

The Pilgrim's Progress is one of the most translated books in the world. Why is this book so beloved? Who was its author?

In the first part of this series, Pastor Roy spoke about the different kinds of sin and how understanding the nature of sin can help us in our attitudes towards sin. In this second part, we will look at the solution to sin.

The New Testament writer Paul uses the word sin in his writings more frequently than any other New Testament author. The teaching that we have been set free from sin (Romans 6:22) either causes people to give up from struggling with temptation or become presumptuous concluding that their problems are not actual problems.

Believing in God takes faith that He is a God who performs miracles. Who moves mountains. Who helps us overcome, against all odds. How can we defeat the Goliaths in our lives? How can we have faith, against all odds?

A comparison of the biblical and evolutionary descriptions of our origins.

Lessons from a Skate Sesh.

Holiness has fascinated, plagued and mystified the Church for nearly two millennia. We will define holiness and explore how we can practice holiness in the midst of cultural norms.

Jonah is a relatable character from the Bible who runs away from God, wants justice for others but mercy for himself, and gets cranky with the weather. Join us as we explore his story and discuss how we can learn lessons of humility, obedience, and compassion.

How can we handle the feelings of guilt?

Can't we be Christian without joining a particular denomination or church? Do we need to bother with membership transfers? What are the benefits of membership?

Part 2 of the series addressing the questions, what does it mean to be a Christian? What is the "cost" of discipleship and is it worth it?

Faith is when we are given too much evidence to ignore, but not enough evidence to be certain. How then do we navigate the unknown? Join us Saturday morning as we explore the complexity of faith.

What does it mean to be a Christian? What does it mean to be a disciple? How can we have a genuine and growing relationship with God?

There are two general categories of emotions: positive emotions, which are enjoyable - contentment, surprise, and happiness; then there are negative emotions - sadness, anxiety, fear, anger, shame, and guilt. We have been socially trained to largely avoid negative emotions. Join us this Saturday as we navigate negative emotions from a biblical perspective.

This weekend the guest Speaker David Edgren shared stories about his trip to Kenya.

This weekend we will be looking at the story of Samson. Did you know that God designed a ‘fail-safe’ for the powerful hero? Samson refused to use the fail-safe and this led to his downfall.
