MAC Sermons

This weekend we'll hear about the incredible invitation that's been sent to every person - but sometimes we forget there's only one way to accept it. Andrew will be preaching from Luke 14 on the Parable of the Great Banquet.

Jesus tells us to "make every effort" to enter the narrow door to the Kingdom of God. Have you entered it? How can we know? Come along this weekend to hear about entering the kingdom from Luke 13.

Our lives are full of worries - for our health, finances, families, friendships and relationships. This weekend Stefan will be preaching from Luke 12, and the freedom that comes from following Jesus with all we've got.

This week we'll see Jesus give us an insider's glimpse into what it's like to call the God of the universe "Father", and how this can radically shape our prayer life. Connor is preaching from Luke 11:1-13.

 How do we inherit eternal life? By being a good person? We'll be looking at why Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan is so much more than a morality story.

Jesus knew the cross awaited him in Jerusalem, and yet he set his face for the city and the purpose to which his Father had called him: to seek and save the lost. Stefan will be kicking us off in Luke 9:51-62, looking at what it looks like (and doesn't look like) to follow Jesus.

This weekend we'll hear from Mal Watts on what it means to respond to God's call to follow him.

It's a popular belief that all religions are basically the same, but what is it that makes Jesus different? This weekend Connor will be looking at Philippians 2; how Jesus is a radically different saviour and king and what that means for his followers.

This weekend Roy Bangun from Compassion Indonesia will be joining us. Roy is currently studying at SMBC, and will be sharing what Compassion is doing on the ground and the impact we are making together as we release children from poverty in Jesus' name. Paul Beeston will also be spurring us on in our walks with Jesus from God’s word.

The time has come to say thank you and farewell to the Dingwalls this weekend! Bruce will be bringing us his final sermon as Senior Minister, aptly titled "It's Not About Me". We'll also hear from church members and staff about their time in ministry with the Dingwalls.

This week we're looking at a part of the Bible that's filled with very real emotion from God - his deep love for his people and his broken heart over their sin and rebellion. Stefan will be preaching from Hosea 11:1-11, one of his favourite passages.

Is there any point in being a good person? How do we know what "good" is? Our Titus series wraps up this week; Andrew will be preaching from Titus 3:1-2,8-15 and looking at what matters most as we figure out what it means to do good.

This week in Titus, we're looking at the kindness and renewal that comes from God, and remembering the life-saving and life-changing gospel. Bruce will be preaching from Titus 3:3-8a (it's his second last sermon with us!).

This week in Titus, we're looking at God's amazing grace. It's a grace that saves, but how do we see God's grace in between being saved and waiting to see Jesus again? Stefan will be preaching from Titus 2:11-14. Titus delivers really practical wisdom on how to live as a Christian to show the attractiveness of the gospel - don't miss it!

This week in Titus, Paul gets into the nitty-gritty of how "Life Together" looks for churches. Andrew will be preaching from Titus 2:1-10, and we'll also be hearing from some church members about how this passage plays out in their lives. Titus delivers really practical wisdom on how to live as a Christian to show the attractiveness of the gospel - don't miss it!

As we continue our "Life Tgoether" series in Titus, Paul's got some stern words for Titus and the church in Crete - is he being too harsh? We'll look at Titus 1:10 -16 and find out why Paul is so fired up.

What do you look for in a leader? Charisma, charm, easy on the eye, compelling, always ready to meet your needs ... This is what we might be looking for, but is this what God is looking for in the leaders of his Church? Join us for our second talk in our new series, Life Together, from the letter to Titus.

We’re made to do life together, and this is especially true for God’s people. If we’re going to do life together, we first need to know our own identity. Join us this weekend as we begin a series on the book of Titus, where a church planter has left his apprentice in charge of a young church, and they’ve got some big issues to sort out. Find us on this page, or at online.menaianglican.org, or on o...

What does real repentance look like? This weekend, I’ll be continuing our series “Of Whales, Woes, Weeds and Wonder”, looking at Jonah 3, with an amazing story of the graciousness of God. This series is gospel focused and particularly aimed at those who don't know Jesus or who have drifted away. We're encouraging everyone to think of one person you could share this series with

This weekend, we’ll continue our four-week series looking at the book of Jonah, and we want to encourage you to think of someone you could do this series with. Lots of people are familiar with the story of Jonah – it’s a wild, curious tale. But at its heart is a great gospel centred message. We see the nature of sin, God’s desire for salvation and the gracious lengths he will go to for that s...

This Thanksgiving Weekend, we're having special celebratory services to hear from some of our church members as to how God has been working in their lives, and what they want to give thanks for. There will also be three short talks by Bruce, Stefan and Punchy on why we are so thankful to God for all he is doing in our lives.

While we’ve been doing online church, we’ve seen lots of visitors and newcomers joining our services. Right now, many people are interested in faith, prayer, church, and what Jesus is all about. This week, Andrew will be taking a practical look at how sharing our faith actually looks in everyday life, as part of our “Life Changing” series.

How do we know what God’s will is for us? How do we practically receive guidance from God? This week, Stefan will be discussing spiritual guidance as part of our “Life Changing” series. Looking at Galatians 5, we’ll see how to keep in step with the Spirit.

What’s been life changing for you? Maybe it’s been a new diet, a book, another person, a diagnosis, a new job… For some of us, the last few weeks have been life changing. Is it really that important for a Christian to confess their sin once they're saved? Jesus has already paid for it, right? Continuing our "Life Changing" series, Bruce will look at 1 John, and the amazing things self-examination...
