One of the ways we get to know God is through the Bible. Like the tools in our toolboxes the Bible is the key tool for helping us to grow spiritually but only if we use the tool. Many are fearful about what the Bibles says about them, particularily members of the LGBTIQ+A community. There is nothing in this Bible to fear if you are same-sex attracted or gender diverse but you may not know that if...

We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses who went before us, they used the gifts God gave them to serve and to save others. Jesus demonstrated the use of gifts and then the Bible says that he ascended and when he did, he bestowed those gifts upon the church; his followers. Today as we run our leg of this race we too can use our gifts to serve. Serving Jesus is not a burden, it's a blessing,...

If I give you a gift but you don't know what it is or how to use it....you most likely won't. God gives us all gifts but if we are unaware then the gift sits dormant. What has God given to you? Why have you been given this gift? Do you know how it works? Are you afraid to open the gift? Listen in as we learn together.

The church is the Body of Christ, a living organism and it operates on real and authentic relationships honouring Jesus as our Lord and our Leader. We are meant to connect with one another and love and care for each other. Even as we celebrate the wins and suffer the losses, we have one another. When we do this people find healing and help for their lives and God is properly represented in the wor...

Jesus came out to begin a very public ministry. He came out of the waters of baptism to walk the earth as the Son of God. He would face many challenges, he would be loved by some and hated by others. He would experience rejection and great celebration. We all have areas of our lives where we stay hidden but our truest authentic sense brings so much blessing, even in the midst of chaos. So come out...

We all experience rejections in life, some can be so painful. God sees our hurt and meets us in this place allowing healing to begin. What do you need to let go of! What impact is rejection having on your life? See the table prepared for you in the presence of your enemies and make the trade: fruits of rejection for fruits of the spirit and know that God will meet you in that place. Melbourne Incl...

We all experience rejection from time to time. Some forms of rejection can be more difficult than others especially where family or friends are involved. Rejection can be painful and can have a huge impact on our lives and our relationships with others. How do we overcome the impact that rejection has on our lives? Melbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ’s equal love for all...

Peter found his voice at Pentecost, but where did his authority to preach come from? Jesus has given believers his authority to share the Gospel. When we share what God has done for us we do so with all of Heaven backing us. Share your faith because everyone needs to know that God loves them. Melbourne Inclusive Church (MIC) is a contemporary, Spirit-filled Christian Church dedicated to sharing th...

Sunday 09 June we celebrated Pentecost Sunday, the day the power of God came upon the believers of Jesus Christ. Every year we celebrate Pentecost and most times we talk about the miracles or we discuss what tongues is all about. These are all powerful events that took place at Pentecost and still do today. But what was actually happening? What did the disciples do on the day Pentecost? They used...

Jesus said in John 10:9 "9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." Jesus gave his life for us so that we would not only be saved but that we would find freedom. Jesus says, I am the door. He is the door to freedom in our lives. Freedom to no longer pretend, freedom from perfection, freedom from unforgiveness and freedom from fear. In Chris...

This message touches on how the zeal of the Pharisees was perverted by pride. Leaders, even the greatest theologians get it wrong sometimes. During passion week we see how the leaders, the ones who were supposed to have understood Jesus coming as the rescue they had longed for missed the mark completely. If you have been told that who you are is a sin, check again! Yes we all sin but who we are an...

John's Gospel tells us that the Word of God was with God in the beginning and then the Word became flesh. How wonderful to know that Jesus, the living Word now lives in us through the Spirit. This means that as we are led by God all of God's words are available to us...to encourage, and strengthen, to guide and protect us. Truly good news as we live out life in a sometimes very chaotic world!. Mel...

Melbourne Inclusive Church heard this week how all of Heaven rejoices when even one person comes to Christ. What celebration is complete without bubbles! As a prophetic act we prayed that every bubble would represent a person in our community who would know without a doubt that God loves them...what better day than Transgender Day of Visibility! The video which can be viewed on our Facebook page a...

Pharisees to the left of me....Romans on the right....Jesus grant us courage and might! Jesus held his ground in the midst of trials and deception and his disciples did the same. 13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realised that they were unschooled, ordinary people, they were astonished and they took note that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13 Sharing our faith can be difficult t...

We can talk about the power of God. We can tell people what God has done for us. People will be encourage by our words. But as James explains our actions speak louder than words. Jesus said that in order to be a great follower we must become servants. Demonstrating the love of God for someone blesses them and reveals more about the nature of God than our words could ever convey. Melbourne Inclusiv...
