Work is exhausting. A necessary evil. Heaven will be like one never ending long weekend. If you've ever said or felt any of the above, this week's message might challenge your thinking just a little bit. If you've ever wondered what it means to "work for God," you need to listen in to what Jesus had to say about it. The answer might surprise you. If Jesus is King, then He has...

Mission Month Starts This Week! Join us this Sunday at 10:00 as we welcome our good friend to share with us how God is calling Him to make His salvation known in one of the least reached, least Christian places on earth. ---------------------------------------- CMS SANT is a fellowship of Christian people and churches committed to global mission. We work with churches to set apart long-term worker...

The Lord is my shepherd. I have everything I need. Those famous words were written by a shepherd in real life. Young David knew what it was like to care for helpless, vulnerable sheep. He knew what it was like to put his life on the line when predators and thieves lurked in the shadows. A thousand years after the last of the Psalms was composed, another shepherd emerged who would outshine David in...

Jesus is the light of the world. That means everyone who follows Him will, over time, develop a new way of seeing. A new way of seeing the world. A new way of seeing ourselves. Why are you the way that you are? Why do you have your personality, your weaknesses, your loves, you fears? What if the the light of Jesus is the very thing that helps us see ourselves the way He sees us? This week we'r...

What is the truth? And how will it set us free? I mean, we're not prisoners. We're not slaves. Or are we? What does real freedom look like? Doesn't following Jesus mean saying 'no' to a bunch of stuff? How can that be called freedom? We're not the first people with those kinds of questions. Join us this Sunday as we explore the truth that takes us from darkness to joy.

Jesus came into the te world--light that broke into the darkness. So that anyone who believes in Him will never be disconnected. Never die. Never walk in darkness. Jesus is the light of the world-- He’s on a mission to recuse completely those whose default status is darkness, distance, and death.

Picture this: you're out in public watching as a bunch of important men carrying a young woman. She's not well, possibly not even breathing. They place her awkwardly at the feet of this guy called Jesus. As you listen in, you realise they're not asking him to heal her. They're asking him to give them the green light to publicly humiliate her and then to execute her for her sin. You...

Who is it that's in charge of the world today? Who's pulling the strings? Is it the elite establishment in Canberra or in the board rooms of big corporations? Or is the real power in the hands of the silent majority--ordinary people who work hard to build their families and communities? No matter how you answer that question--one thing is true. No one was ready--not the elites, not the &#3...

Last week Jesus made it clear that no one comes to believe the Gospel unless God the Father does a work to draw a person in. But that doesn't mean that refusing to believe always looks the same. It doesn't mean that a person who doesn't believe today won't believe in Jesus tomorrow. How do we understand the sin of unbelief--the sin that lies at the root of all other sin? How do we...

Who could refuse free bread? It's pretty common these days to leave bread uneaten on the table. Not so much in Bible times. So when Jesus compared Himself to free bread, you'd think people would be super keen. But instead, many walked away. What is it about Jesus, the Bread of Life, that attracts some and repels others? And what did Jesus mean when He told his followers to eat....his flesh...

Did you know that Jesus’ most talked about miracle in the Bible is the time he turned a boy’s lunch into a feed for a crowd of thousands? And if that’s true, why are there still so many hungry people today? Get excited for this Sunday when Tyson leads us further and deeper into the life and times of Jesus. You’ll have to see Him to believe. Join us this Sunday at 10:00 as we continue our journey t...

Last week we heard that Jesus is the only true and perfect judge of every person. But what happens when the judge becomes the accused? How will Jesus defend Himself? What witnesses will he call to help us get to the truth? The witnesses Jesus calls to the stand don't just benefit the original audience--they benefit us too. Listening to their testimony just might open the door to abundant, eter...

What is Truth? And how do we know it? "Truly I tell you...." These are the words Jesus uses again and again to get our attention. To snap us back to reality. To turn our gaze from "my truth" to "The Truth." So that we might live and not die. At the heart of the Christian message is Jesus as the One Truth that every person must believe if we want to be well. That doesn...

The road to eternal life is full of signs pointing people in the right way. But not everyone can see them. Not everyone wants to see them. How does Jesus help us see the signs so that we believe and have life in his name? And once we see the signs of life, what does that require of us? Join us this Sunday at 10:00 as we look at one of the signs that John recorded to help us see and believe. Once y...

We are excited to be back in the Gospel of John this week. We'll catch up with Jesus who has an appointment with an unlikely stranger. What motive could he possibly have to arrange this meeting? And what does it have to do with us today? Join us this Sunday at 10:00 as we go on the journey with Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. There's more going on here than meets the eye.

This week we welcome our friends from Compassion Australia to give an update on their work as well as an opportunity to practice generosity through sponsoring a child. Nathan will wrap up our series on generosity with the joy of giving to the poor and vulnerable. We can't wait to welcome you, worship with you, and open the Word together. See you Sunday at 10:00!

Tyler continues our series on generosity with a message form 1 Timothy - on the joy of giving to your family--even when it's undeserved.

"Churches don't want you, they just want your money." It's not uncommon to hear people say things like this. And to be honest, there are legitimate grievances lying behind that negative outlook. So then should churches abandon the pooling of resources for Gospel mission altogether? What does the New Testament actually say about church budgets and our obligation (if any) to contri...

Join us this Sunday as we continue our series that's all about the Gospel of grace, and how it releases us to be joyfully generous. Joel will be bringing a message on generosity through the eyes of Jesus. See you there! 

For God so loved the world---that He Gave. And yet sometimes it's so hard for us to be generous. With our time. With our words. With our wallets. Not to mention our lives. We need help to live free from worry that one day, we won't have enough. Or that God is holding something back from us. We know what were meant to do, but we don't do it. Who can step in and rescue us from clinging o...

For God so loved the world---that He Gave. The most precious gift He could possibly give. There is nothing that any of us can give back in return that could even come close.  And yet, we find in the Bible and in real life, that the people who understand the depths of His grace have a hard time holding on to what they have. The more you experience free grace, the more you become eager to freely giv...

John 3:16 -- Why is it that we're in danger of perishing anyway? Why do we need to be saved at all? The answer to those questions has something to do with this: we all want to be known and loved for who we are, but not completely. Everybody wants to be known. Nobody wants to be exposed. Is it possible to be fully loved and fully known but not ashamed? In Christ, the answer is absolutely! &quot...

This weekend we're gathering twice to mark the high point on the church calendar for the year. This Friday we remember the day when the Son of God was pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our sins. We share together in the fellowship of His suffering. And then on Sunday, after the darkness comes the light. We celebrate the Life that Jesus has won for His glory and our joy. Join us on...

This Friday we remember the day when the Son of God was pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our sins. We share together in the fellowship of His suffering. And then on Sunday, after the darkness comes the light. We celebrate the Life that Jesus has won for His glory and our joy. Join us on Good Friday at 9:00 for a reflective time of worship and communion.

Nicodemus comes in the darkness looking for the Messiah to address the pain and suffering in the world. This Friday we remember the day when the Son of God was pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our sins. We share together in the fellowship of His suffering. And then on Sunday, after the darkness comes the light. We celebrate the Life that Jesus has won for His glory and our joy.
