The Exchange hosted by the Melbourne City Adventist Church

As January draws to a close, how can we keep motivated to continue good habits and break bad ones? How can we persevere in our walk with God?

Hope is more than an idea. It's a reality. This Saturday we are exploring how a personal encounter with Christ takes us one step closer to believing in God. Hope is birthed from knowing that God believes in us.

How can we see God in our lives? Does He still act in history? Explore with us how coincidences point to Providence

What would it look like make our resolutions God centred rather than happiness centred? In this sermon, Roy explores the importance of starting 2019 with God at the centre.

Are you feeling drained? As we finish one year and face another, how can we be revitalised and motivated? Come explore how God can make dry bones live.

This Saturday we will explore how the birth of Christ brought about religious, social, and political change through forgiveness.

There are many ways we can pursue personal freedom in life. We all want to be free and to live life without restriction, but is this really possible? This talk will look at a biblical passage that suggests the most liberating kind of freedom available to us. Just like exercise that enables the body to move more freely, these inspired words in John can enable us to live with more freedom than ever...

Why does the Seventh-day Adventist church exist? How does it fit in to Christendom? Do I have to be an Adventist to go to heaven? Explore the unique role and identity of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the context of history 2,000 years of Christianity.

What are your expectations of God? What does it mean to align them to His will? Learn from the story of Naaman.

Prayer is powerful. But how do we pray powerfully? Jesus had a powerful prayer life, so what example of prayer does He give us.

What do we do when things don’t go according to our plans? What lessons can we learn from Paul who was no stranger to plans being shattered, especially a voyage to Rome that ended in shipwreck?

Looking at the story of Zaccheus in the Bible, we learn Jesus loves sinners and calls us to do the same.

We believe we have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But does the seeking ever end? Are we ever satisfied? How can we experience lasting joy, despite circumstances and challenges?

You can't relive the past, but you can start over. The bible has an incredible message that gives hope to inspire a new start. In this session, we discover a special event that took place that gives us hope of a new life and a new start.

Have you wondered why it is that we as Christians have one book and yet so many churches? In this session, we explore church history and how the church became organised and then divided.

The idea of a hell fire that burns the wicked for eternity contradicts the statements in the Bible that claim God is love. How do we reconcile the ideas of punishment and love? What does the Bible actually say about Hell and punishment? We explore these ideas in this presentation.

What comes to your mind when the Bible says we will all appear before the judgement of God? Do feelings of concern or peace enter your mind? In this presentation we explore what the Bible says about judgement as an event and what the Bible says about preparing for judgement.

The apocalypse is a theme that has interested religious groups, moviegoers, and civilisations. Jesus gives end time predictions in the gospels. In this talk we explore the predictions and the implications of what the bible says will happen before the end of time.

The bible has a lot to say about the promise of a resurrection. It is the hope that is given to humanity that death is not a permanent state. But strangely the bible does not have a lot to say about what happens during death. Do our souls continue on in heaven or hell or do we simply cease till the resurrection?

Within the 10 commandments is a command to rest and keep the Sabbath day holy. Is this command outdated? Does the Bible teach the importance of keeping a set day to honour and worship God?

XYZThe idea of a moral law is often a challenging topic in the bible. The law is both referenced in positive and negative terms. How should Christians internalise the idea of a moral code?

The Bible promises eternal life to those who seek Jesus. How does this work? What does it mean to know Jesus? How can one be reassured of God's love in the face of the mistakes of humanity?

Thirty-one percent of the world believes in Jesus. Was Jesus a mere historical figure? Was he who he claimed he was? How does one know for sure? In the face of doubts and uncertainty, how can we come to know if Jesus truly was the Son of God? In this talk, we explore the journey of faith that each of us faces as we seek a personal connection to Jesus.

One of the most challenging ideas posed to Christianity is the existence of suffering and a powerful God of Love. How does one reconcile these two facts presented in the Bible? This talk seeks to begin the discussion of this challenging topic.

What are some reasons the Bible is considered a credible source? When exploring the Bible how does one arrive at truth? In this talk, we look at history and archaeology and a story in the Bible of a truth seeker to answer these important questions.
