Harbourside Church Podcast

This week Andrew Sloane kicks off our new series with an intro to Daniel and the lion and exploring what it is like living as a Christian in our culture.

While Mother's day can bring much joy to some people, to others it can mean sadness. Guest speaker Merilyn Buckley this week talks about the joys and sorrows of Mother's day.

This week Simon Smart, executive of CPX, asks the tough question, has Christianity been good for this world?

In the first of our two part series "Real Talk", Dr Natasha Moore from the Centre of Public Christianity talks with us about whether we have lost the art of disagreement.

On the day when we celebrate Christ's bodily resurrection, Dave Hanbury looks at why this is the most important thing that has ever happened (and that's no understatement!).

As we come together to pause and remember Christ's death on Good Friday, Dave Hanbury shows us that "This is Love".

What does it mean for us as broken people to be living in a broken world?  This week we hear from guest speaker, Andrew Sloane.

This week we rap up our crazy busy series with a simple message and about how we should live our lives.

This week we look at rest; how it is a gift from God, how it is freeing and why we should use it

This week, "we've got to talk about work" and what it means to be a Christian worker in this crazy busy world.

This week we look at the pressures that lead modern parents to have crazy busy lives, and we hear two ways that Christian parents can try and push back against these temptations.

This week we take a look at what lies beneath the surface of our crazy busy symptoms.  "The experience of pride reveals the state of our heart."

This week we start a new series looking at how busy we are and what we can do to make more time for God.

This week, we reflect on the text of the first sermon preached in Australia - Psalm 116:12 “What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me?”, and we ask ourselves the same questions as a church 231 years later.

This week Dave Hanbury wraps up our Summer Psalms series with Psalm 8. In this Psalm we will together witness the incredible majesty and glory of God. But more than that we’ll also see that even though we are tiny in comparison to our creator he gives us a mind blowing identity and purpose.

Sometimes it can feel like our world is a dangerous place which is crashing down around us. But sometimes, it just slowly crumbles like a sandcastle in the way of the incoming tide. This week, Andrew Sloane takes us through the magnificent Psalm 46 and helps us see that this Psalm calls us to confident trust in the face of the chaos, calling us to acknowledge and know that God is with us.

In our second sermon in our summer psalm series, John Buckley takes us through Psalm 2 and helps us understand what the New Testament (and Jesus himself) means when referring to the title "Son of God". We look at the problem the Gospel addresses, the solution the Gospel announces, and the response which the Gospel requires.

Our summer series in the psalms is kicked off by special guest preacher John Buckley who takes us through the first psalm in the Bible, and shows us a picture of what it is to be "blessed" by God.

As we come to our first Christmas celebration as a church, Dave helps us to think about what it is to receive a good gift. We see that the story about Christmas isn't just a fanciful fairytale, but it shows us that that small baby sitting in the manger is actually the greatest gift that we could ever receive. Merry Christmas!

Guest speaker and clinical psychologist, Leisa Aitken, shares her insight on hope from an academic and biblical perspective.

In the beginning of our four-part advent series, Dave takes us to the Old Testament to explore the idea of peace as captured in the Jewish word "Shalom". We that God seeks to restore "Shalom" to his people by securing it for us in Christ. We also explore how we embody peace today and how we long for the second coming of Christ to give us true peace.

Jesus has been travelling around the towns of ancient Israel, teaching with authority, driving out demons, healing many illnesses and most surprisingly, forgiving people of their sins. This begs the question, who is Jesus? In this week's passage, Jesus asks his disciples this question, and goes on to clarify ideas about what this means. In the end, we are challenged to think if we can see the real...

This week, Dave takes us through Mark 7 where we see Jesus challenge the Jewish religious leaders’ belief that it’s what we do that saves us. We see that the main problem with our world isn’t political, financial, or emotional but rather spiritual. Ultimately, it’s not about what we do that saves us, but what has already been done for us.

As we continue through the Discover Jesus series, guest preacher Andrew Sloane tells us how the disciples had the worst mini-break, but maybe they were missing something?
