When is the last time you time were insulted, ignored, or even injured because of your faith in Jesus? Did it surprise you? Who did you turn to for help? These questions aren't just hypothetical for millions of Christians around the world. So how is the Gospel really Good News if it can lead to so much heartache in real life? This week we'll unpack Jesus words of comfort about an uncomfortable rea...

You may not be a farmer or the child of a farmer, but you were put on earth to produce fruit. Your life is not about you--it's about seeing Jesus and becoming like Him, knowing Him, and making Him known. That's what it means to produce fruit that brings glory to God and joy to the world. But how do we produce fruit? Jesus tells us we can if we remain located in Him. But what does that even...

We are back in the Gospel of John this Sunday! Three times in chapter 14, Jesus tells his disciples that if they love him, they will obey his commands. But what does that mean for us? We know that obedience is hard, so what happens when we fail? Jesus isn't just laying down the law--he's got good news for us. Obedience is necessary, but it's also possible. Join us this Sunday as we ope...

We've come a long way since January 2020. God has been so gracious to us, helping us get a glimpse of being a fruitful and multiplying family of Jesus worshippers here in Christies Beach and beyond. This Sunday is an opportunity to look back and thank God for what He's done, but also keep our eyes locked on Jesus to see where He's taking us from here on out. Join us this Sunday as we c...

Long before Jesus came preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, long before He died on the cross to save us from our sins and the eternal wrath of God, there lived a man called Hosea and his wife Gomer. They were an unlikely couple--together only because God commanded it. Their marriage endured through adultery, unfaithfulness, and separation. But rather than being a tragic tale, theirs is a story of...

Have you ever noticed that when Jesus sent his 12 disciples out to do ministry, he sent them out in pairs? Two isn't a magic number, but it does raise the question-- why is Gospel ministry so much better when we do it together with others? This Sunday we'll look at the lives of a husband and wife who helped plant churches in two different continents. And we'll see the ways in which Gospel ministry...

The Shepherds and the Angels 8 In the same region, shepherds were staying out in the fields and keeping watch at night over their flock. 9 Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: 11 Today in t...

Join us this Sunday at 10:00 to worship together with our church family. Come early, grab a coffee, and meet someone new. This week we will celebrate with the kids as they share the Story of Christmas and we’ll hear from Tyson as he opens God’s word to us. See you there! 

Special guest: Daniel from CityLight Church Plympton

Christmas time is here! You might know the story of Jesus's birth all those years ago in Bethlehem. You might have sung about the angels who were there singing over the manger. But do you know where they came from or why they were there? And why was everyone afraid when they showed up? There's more to Christmas than meets the eye. That's because there's more to everything in this world than what w...

We'll be taking a look at one of Jesus's most famous claims in all of the Bible--that He is the one and only way to God. That He is the one truth. And that the life He offers is the only life worth living. Jesus said this not to throw down the gauntlet, but rather, to comfort us and encourage us while we wait to go with Him on the most epic holiday ever.  See you at 9:00 this Sunday. Come early fo...

As the story of John’s Gospel gets closer to the cross, this week we will take a closer look at two of Jesus’s closest friends who sinned big against his in time of need. Only one of them lived to tell about it. Understanding the difference between them just might save your life.

For centuries, Christians have celebrated the night when Jesus stooped down to wash the feet of his disciples. Less than 24 hours before he died on the cross, Jesus gave us this beautiful picture of what it looks like to love and serve another person. But there's more going on in this scene than what we see at first glance. What Jesus does for his disciples--and for us--in that moment--shows us no...

Despite all the miracles Jesus performed, despite all the signs pointing to who He really is-- most of the people who crossed paths Jesus didn't believe in Him. You might wonder how that's possible. But then, we struggle to believe His words too sometimes, don't we? This week we're taking a deep dive into belief--what leads some people to believe in Jesus and others not to? The answers to these qu...

Jesus has the power to raise the dead. Everybody knew that, but not everybody was happy about it. If anyone had a reason to be riding on a high horse, it was Jesus. And yet when he makes his grand entrance to Jerusalem, he's riding on a young donkey. What gives?  That image we celebrate every Palm Sunday--the humble king riding on a humble beast--captures a truth that is beautiful. The King has co...

Do you ever wonder why the Christian life can be hard at times? Or why are hearts are so prone to wander even though we know all about the grace that we've received? If you can relate, then you're not alone. Shortly after Jesus did his greatest sign--the raising of his friend Lazarus from the dead-- that's when the knives really came out. The powers of darkness, working through ordinary people, wa...

Why do bad things happen? It's a question that's not just for philosophers. It's personal. Even for followers of Jesus. We know He is all loving, but does He care about my suffering? We know He is all powerful, but will He do anything about my suffering? Join us this Sunday at 10:00 as we conclude the story of Jesus and Lazarus. It's more than just a miracle--it's a window into the heart of God's...

You’re invited to join us this Sunday at 10:00 as we continue our journey through the Gospel of John. This week it’s all about death and life. It’s about falling down and being raised up. Grief then glory. With Jesus right at the centre of it all.

We are back in John's gospel this week with another look at Jesus. How can we know for sure that Jesus the one man God chose to rescue us from the mess of our sin and the world? And if we already believe Jesus is who He claimed to be, what use is it to consider those claims again?  Join us this Sunday at 10:00 as take a good look at Jesus and the people who follow him (along with those who don't)....

Who are the people that Jesus uses in His mission to spread the knowledge of His glory to every corner of the earth? They are ordinary saints for sure. But if God's plan A for the mission is the planting of churches, wouldn't it make sense that the people He uses to grow His church need to be faithful church members? Join us this Sunday at 10:00 as we wrap up mission month with a challenge...

This Sunday, along with over 600 other churches partnered with the Acts 29 network globally, we get to celebrate the ongoing advance of God's kingdom through the planting of Gospel-centered, Jesus-exalting churches worldwide. We are thankful to be connected to such a dynamic movement.  We're going back to where we began as CityLight Church to Matthew 5:14-16--what does it mean that people...

Jake Swadling, lead pastor at Anchor Church Port Adelaide, joins us with a message from 2 Kings 7. It's a stunning historical account of the privilege that ordinary people like us have to announce the best news that anyone has ever heard.
