Life Ministry Church Audio

When Jesus healed the man who was blind since birth, this man’s life changed forever! Jesus didn’t come to modify our lives, he came to transform our lives from the inside out!

Chris brought a simple message about what we know from scripture about healing: death and sin entered through the garden, Jesus healed in obedience to God and asks us to do the same. We took time to pray for those needing a touch from God. Communion presented by Julia.

Insecurity is an epidemic in today’s world. Many of us struggle with insecurity. Graham shared with us that we don’t have to feel secure to be secure in God. Our value is in who we are in Christ. Loving yourself isn’t obnoxious, we love because Christ loves us!

Dave shared with us the story of St Patrick! And how God called him to spread the gospel to Ireland. Jesus is calling us just as He called St. Pat, the disciples, Paul… Jesus calls us to repent, He calls us out of obscurity and into maturity and invites us to walk with Him.

Many attempts have been made to refute the resurrection of Jesus. Pastor Graham shares how we know Jesus rose from the dead, and what that means for us today - our sins are taken away and we have relationship with God!

Life without Jesus is purposeless. In Jesus we have abundant life. But it’s not just about prosperity, abundant life is keeping a godly perspective in the storms, taking responsibility with opportunities and blessing others with what we have been given. Communion lead by Luke Gaschk.

Without Jesus, the only way we can be righteous is by being perfect. Since Jesus is the only one who is perfect, we can only truly be made righteous through Jesus. When we believe this, we will reap a righteous lifestyle!

The idea of perfection is an illusion, it is inevitable that we will fault! Thank goodness for Jesus who is perfect, lived a perfect life and was a perfect sacrifice for our sins. When we realise our own imperfection, we see our need for Jesus Christ.

Jesus is Emmanual - God with us. In anything we face in life, it matters most who is with us in those circumstances. We are never alone, God is always with us and he is strong. Jesus didn’t just save us from death, he saved us for a full life with him.

Jesus is the Truth. John 8:32 tells us the Truth will set us free. Even though we are born into sin, God gives a NEW birth experience and sets us free from the prison of sin!

Martyn Iles shared with us lessons from Isaiah to bring light to the dark reality of our society and our world today. Just as God called Isaiah, he is calling us to today to do his will and be salt and light on the earth. Let’s respond, “Here I Am. Send me!”

Each year, we take the time to dedicate our staff and volunteers across the property for the year ahead! We were joined by the director of the Australian Christian Lobby, Martyn Iles who shared his incredible story of the impact of God's grace in his life.

Anita, Liam, Kara, Jarvis and Verity shared their testimonies from Youth & Young Adults Summer Camp. The theme for camp was “First Love”. Reclaiming Jesus as our First Love and desiring to see our friends put their First Love first again. Listen to First Love by Hillsong Young & Free here.

Pastor Graham launched our new series for the year, JESUS IS. Beginning with ‘Jesus is The Answer’. Scripture says that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. In all things, we find our hope, healing, deliverance, security, protection - all our answers in Jesus.

Pastor Graham and Marita Simpson (Director of Amari Community Organisation) share with us stories of the beginnings of the school opening and Marita's journey with Amari. To donate to Amari: www.amari.org.au

Andrew is Simon Peter’s brother, and is the one who lead Peter to Christ. In fact many times, Andrew lead people to Jesus. We can all be an Andrew! Let’s take on the challenge to share our faith. See notes attached.

Pastor Graham shared on the Life of Billy Graham. Click the link to watch the Billy Graham A Life Remembered video here.

As we venture into 2019, David encouraged us to continue to work out our salvation, to choose the new way of living and little by little to replace the old with the new.

Chris encouraged us as we look forward to 2019 and look back at 2018, to remember to give thanks for all God has done.

"Don't forget to read your card!" We can be very quick and excited to rip open the gifts God has given us, but let's not forget to read His love message to us!

In the final part of this series, Graham dwelled on John 3:16. God - the greatest person - so loved the world that he gave his one and only son (the greatest gift) that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life (the greatest result)

Part 2 of Graham’s Christmas Series led us to Galatians 4. The first Christmas happened at the exact right time, it was entirely God’s initiative, unlike anything ever seen before and it was just the beginning!

Graham spoke on part one of his Christmas series Unto Us A Son Is Given, reminding us that Jesus is the New Way, not because the old way is obsolete, but because Jesus is the better way; the heir of all things, the creator and upholder of the universe and the radiance of the glory of God. Communion spoken by Julia.

Dave brought us up to date with all the amazing things happening with SALT (Sport and Life Training). Once a ‘dumb’ idea, now a work of God. Like five loaves of bread and two fish, God takes our offerings and does something magnificent with them.

In the final part of our Building Strong Foundations Series, Graham encouraged us to put our trust in God - not in education, pride, knowledge or success but in our ever faithful God.
