Citylight South Church

Remember the time that Jesus got angry and turned over tables in the temple? He actually did it twice. Why do you think he made such a scene? Was he just flexing, or was something else going on? This Sunday we're back together at Christies Beach Primary School at 10:00 as we continue our series through John's Gospel: Live. We'd love you to join us at 10:00 for worship and the word. Com...

This Sunday Caleb Turko joins us from Anchor Church Port Adelaide John told us why he wrote his gospel. He wants you to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. And then to have life in his name. So why do you suppose the first "sign" he records to prove Jesus's true identity is the time he served some really nice wine at a wedding? This Sunday Caleb Turko joins us from Anc...

"You've gotta see this!"  "Hey, watch this!" Depending on the context, these words could indicate either that something exciting is happening right now, or that someone is about to need an ambulance.  Early on in the ministry of Jesus, the excitement around him was palpable. Ordinary people were amazed by the things he said and did. For some, that early excitement later tur...

Imagine yourself standing in the court of heaven. Everyone stands to their feet as the Judge of the universe takes His seat. You're relieved to discover that there's only one question to answer. And the question is this: What did you do with Jesus?  Before you're convinced that He is the only solution to your most basic problem--you have to be a little curious. Is he really the only On...

There was a time when the God of the universe, who lives in unapproachable light, did not exist in human form. The only way a person could get close to God was through the high priest, who served in the presence of God at the temple in Jerusalem. One night in a town not far from the temple, everything changed. God came down. He took on human flesh and blood. He moved into our neighbourhood. How di...

The night that Jesus was born, light from heaven filled the sky. Wherever Jesus went, there was light. Whoever has Jesus has light. Light that illuminates. Light that enlivens our souls. Light that exposes secrets. Light is necessary for life, but it can also be scary if we're not content with life as it currently is. The light of Christ doesn't just show us how things are and leave us the...

Eternal life. The most famous verse in the whole Bible says that anyone who believes in Jesus will not die but have eternal life. We were meant to live and not die. And not just to live, but to live forever, basking in the joy of togetherness with the God who loves us. This Sunday we kick off our epic journey through the Gospel of John where we explore this question--what does it mean to live fore...

This Sunday we get to celebrate together what God has done at CityLight South Church over the past four years. We'll wrap up our Belong series with a look at the first and last weddings in the Bible--and the good news that we get to be a part of the big one that's coming. This Sunday is all about joy in Jesus, the bridegroom.

You Belong to a House of All Nations. we continue our series on what it means to belong to the community of God's people. This week Joel Ramsey will be bringing the word on what it means to belong to the building of Christ--the new Temple that He's building with ordinary people from all backgrounds.

As we continue our new series on what it means to belong to the community of God's people. This week Michael Nganga will be bringing the word on what it means to belong to the Body of Christ. Come early, grab a coffee and meet someone new!

Your Church Family A family is when everybody wants to come to the table, but no one wants to do the washing up. Or maybe your family is different than mine. So when we say the church is like a family, or more precisely, the church IS a family, what exactly do we mean? Love One Another (Like Family) Love What Is Good (For the Whole Family) Love Even When It Hurts

NYE Nathan Treasure Jesus - an act of worship which flows from a heart of love for Jesus.

You're heard the song "Mary, Did You Know?" But how much do you know about Mary the mother of Jesus? She's one of the most fascinating characters in the Bible. Over the centuries she's either been idolised or ignored. But her story has everything to do with how Jesus, the Saviour of the world, came to be. 

How young is too young to be a politician? 25? 18? What about 8? That's how old Josiah was when he became the king of a whole country. How could he possibly succeed at such a young age? What are the markers of any successful, godly leader? And how do those markers point us to the baby in the manger? 

Advent Tales: the Stories of How Jesus Came to Be This week we're unpacking one of the most well known stories in all the Bible-- the tale of David and Goliath. Why is it in the Bible and what are we meant to learn from it? Is it all about us facing our giants? Or is it all about Jesus? The answer might surprise you.

Everybody likes a good love story--especially at Christmas time. It makes you wonder though--what does a couple finding love in surprising places have to do with the birth of Jesus? The answer is: more than you might think. This week we're jumping into the story of Ruth--a woman whose loyalty and kindness led her into the family tree of Christ Himself. Her wedding day wasn't the end of her...

We're starting a new series which will take us through the Advent season. It's 5 weeks of 5 stories that paved the way for Jesus tp be born in Bethlehem. This week we're looking at the incredible story of a wise woman from the east named Rehab. God positioned her exactly where He wanted her to be to save not only her, but her whole family, and a whole nation. And we'll see why Raha...

Jesus is coming! Not to a stall in Bethlehem this time, but on a day not to far from now, the whole world will see Him. Some will be ready, others not. And just like when a surge of electricity shows up at your home--it's important that when Jesus comes--we're all grounded. Not shifting a millimetre from our hope in the Gospel. This Sunday we're wrapping up our series in 2 Peter talkin...

The Second Coming of Jesus. The End of Days. The Day of the Lord. We don't know when He's coming--just that He will. And that means good news and vindication for everyone who believes in Jesus. But it also means bad news and judgment for everyone who doesn't. While there are people a bit too focused on the "end times," I find that many of the Christians I know ignore it altog...

Life is war. If you have declared your allegiance to Christ and His kingdom, there's a battle being waged for your soul. It's a battle that Christ has already won, but there are days when it doesn't feel like it.  Peter wants you to know the enemy's game plan. Not to scare you, but to equip you to fight. One of the best tools we have to fight is the knowledge that we're not alo...

Every morning we wake up wondering if the breaking news overnight is big enough to disrupt our lives. The news cycle, as they call it, seems to be getting darker and crazier all the time. But has it always been this way? And will it always be this way? The Gospel is good news in a world of breaking bad news. And the truth of the Gospel is that one day, Jesus himself will break into the news cycle...

Heresies exist, and are more pervasive, appealing and damaging than you might think... but Jesus is our real hope, solid defense, and great rescuer.

One of the dangers we face when following Jesus is the danger of drifting off to sleep--spiritually speaking. We might be able to coast along for awhile without much thought, until disaster strikes out of seemingly nowhere. Peter wrote a letter from jail to people he loved so much because he wanted them to wake up. And not just by his own words, but by all the words that God spoke. We have access...

Eternal life begins the moment we die and shuck off our earth suit and fly away to be with Jesus in heaven. Or does it? What if eternal life began the moment you first believed in Jesus and were saved by His power and grace? This Sunday, Joel Ramsey will be bringing us the second instalment in our series in 2 Peter--Grounded. What does it mean to be grounded in life and godliness? Is it really pos...
