Week 3 of Spiritual Warfare This world isn't how it should be. We're living in unreality, but the storyline of the Bible is that reality is breaking in. Jesus Christ came on a resistance mission to overthrow the power of Satan, releasing people into lives of truth and freedom. He has also recruited us to join him on this resistance mission, bringing his presence into dry and barren wastela...

Week 2 of Spiritual Warfare The Bible teaches that we're in a war. But it doesn't look like conventional frontline warfare. It looks more like the weaponisation of ideas as we're opposed by Satan, the father of lies. But how can we possibly defend ourselves against a spirit being? The answer is to seek the help of the LORD, the warrior king who has the kind of protection we need: the A...

Week 7 of the Book of Daniel / Week 1 of Spiritual Warfare Angels? Demons? Lower case 'g' gods? Most Christians have a fairly flat spiritual worldview which accounts for God, but often doesn't know what to do with the Bible's talk of other spirit beings. This sermon will take a deep dive into the Bible's teaching on the 'heavenly court' and how we can think of these thi...

Week 6 of the Book of Daniel. Could it be that after many decades of church decline, restoration might finally be on the horizon? If we're beginning to see signs of restoration, how do we respond to that? This was the situation Daniel was in, and it provoked him to a very honest conversation with God, unfiltered repentance. Pastor Matt Schubert 18 August 2024 Everhope Sunday Gathering @ Seasid...

Week 5 of the Book of Daniel. The apocalyptic bits of the bible like Daniel 7 can be tricky to understand, but there are two rules which can help us interpret these strange passages. We'll learn that evil beasts are found in every age, but we can we look forward to a different kind of kingdom, with a heavenly human as king. Pastor Matt Schubert 11 August 2024 Everhope Sunday Gathering @ Seasid...

Week 4 of the Book of Daniel. Despite political turmoil and cultural challenges, Daniel's steadfast devotion to God serves as a powerful example for us today.

Pastor Matt Schubert 4 August 2024 Everh...

Week 3 of The Book of Daniel. What does God have to do with elections? What about royal coronations? What about your own personal history & future? We can't help but ask these questions as we read through the book of Daniel, especially in Daniel 5 as God brings the reign of a Babylonian King to an end. What is God's 'writing on the wall' for your life? Pastor Mike Fulwood 28 Ju...

Week 2 of The Book of Daniel. In every age, there are external forces working to make us apathetic to the will of God. In order for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to withstand Nebuchadnezzar's pressure, it required a tremendous trust in a God who is able to save. Pastor Matt Schubert 21 July 2024 Everhope Sunday Gathering @ Seaside Share Place, Madora Bay / Lutheran Church of Australia

Week 2 of the series Gospel Fluency. 2 Corinthians 8 is a case study for Gospel Fluency, as Paul shows us how to apply the Gospel with precision. We learn that it's possible to abound in joy and generosity in the most impossible situations, by learning to: 1. Perceive the underlying love or desire that is driving the thought or behaviour. 2. Discern the aspect of the Gospel that fulfils (or re...

Week 1 of the series Gospel Fluency. In Ephesians 4, we see that Jesus doesn't just want his body to have a number of disconnected bones, but also overlapping ligaments, so that we add stability and strength to one another. Paul tells us that this strengthening and maturity happens when we learn to speak the truth in love. The truth that is found in Jesus. Pastor Matt Schubert 9 June 2024 Ever...

In Deuteronomy 6, God says that whatever else a parent does for their child, they must not neglect this one thing: the fear of the Lord, or what we describe as God-consciousness. Reading from Deuteronomy 6:1-9,20-25, we find that parents are to pass on the faith through 1. unrestricted access 2. intentional echoing 3. fluent storytelling Fifth and final week of the series Familia: Discovering the...

By placing ourselves in the shoes of Jesus's anxious mother Mary, we see that she was fighting not only for her family's harmony, but also her family's faith. But redemption comes when she stops trying to get Jesus to fit into her model of family, and instead finds her place in the new family that Jesus is creating. Week 4 of the series Familia: Discovering the Household Gifts of God P...

While calling into question some of our culture's myths around sexual expression, this sermon explores how Saint Paul can call singleness a gift.

Week 3 of the series Familia: Discovering the Household Gifts of God Pastor Matt Schubert 5 May 2024 Everhope Sunday Gathering @ Se...

Message by Pastor Matt Schubert at Everhope's Sunday gathering on 14th April, 2024. Our culture has a crisis of identity, and in this way, we can each resonate with the plight of Ancient Israel while in Babylonian captivity. God's solution to our insecurity is timeless - he restores our relational soil by attaching himself to us. "I have ransomed you, I have called you by name, you ar...
