One Hope Community Church

We wrap up our series on Colossians, by looking at chapter two. Andrew leads us as we contemplate the power of God and remember that our God is so big, He has triumphed over sin & death and this gives us confidence moving forward.

We celebrate Easter Sunday by looking at the end Colossians 1 and the beautiful truth of the gospel, that Christ is now in us, and that is the hope of glory for us moving forward. He is risen and alive!

We gather on Good Friday to remember and reflect on the cross, the sacrifice of Jesus and the victory over sin and death. We look at the second half of Colossians 1 and see how great Jesus is and how great the sacrifice and love, displayed on the cross, really is.

We begin our series on Colossians: The Supremacy of Christ, which we will be looking at over our Easter season. We begin by looking at the first half of chapter one, and explore how we can keep growing and walk in a manner worthy of the calling we have received.

We welcome our guest speaker, Reuben Capill, who is studying at the RTC and a part of The Hub in Geelong. He shares from Philippians, where Paul encourages us to keep running after Christ with endurance.

We wrap our series on the Family Tree, by looking at Romans 12 and diving into the practical advice Paul gives the church, including using gifts, loving each other and becoming holy together.

Being part of the church family means celebrating with the church family. We celebrate children being baptised, new elders being installed and the provision of God, as we bring our first-fruit offerings.

We begin looking at the first trait of mature disciples, being part of the church family. We look at Genesis 12 and the call of Abraham, which is the same call for us, to be a family that grows and flourishes and blesses the world through Jesus.

We kick-off our theme for the year, as we will be looking at the traits of mature disciples. Andrew briefly unpacks each one, while encouraging us to commit to growing and maturing this year in our faith.

We look at John 8, seeing how Jesus doesn't throw a stone at us, even though we've been caught in sin. He is perfect, and yet becomes sin for us, so we are saved, not condemned. Therefore, we are called to follow Jesus in this, and rather than be judgmental, we become people of grace and love.

We welcome Glenn back from his time in Uganda, as he shares from 2 Timothy 1, where Paul encourages Timothy to be strong in the gospel and continue growing to become the people God calls us to be.

We wrap up our mini-series from Joshua, as we look at beginning a new year and what is important for us. With Joshua as an example, we discover how keeping God's Word central is key.

We continue looking at Joshua, who leads the Israelites through a time of transition. An important facet of the life of Joshua was his desire to trust & obey, even when it doesn't quite make sense. That is key for us as we head into a new year of change.

We begin a mini-series as we head into a new year of change and transition. We look at Joshua, who lead the Israelites through changes, and one of the key aspects for them was keeping the presence of God in sight. They were to follow the cloud by day and fire by night, and follow the ark into the river, and we too, need to make sure we are following God, wherever He may call us.

As we wrap up the year that has been, we look ahead not with a false sense of optimism, but we a renewed hope. We look at Lamentations 3, where our hope is based on the faithfulness of Jesus, His mercy & goodness.

It is Christmas Day and we celebrate together the good news of great joy: Jesus Christ, saviour of the world, is born!

We have a special children's service as we celebrate Christmas together! Our kids leads us in our final advent service, this one on 'love'.

We take time to give thanks for the year that has been, honouring God for all that He has done in our midst. We look through the letters of Paul, and see the amount of thanks he offers for the churches he is connected with.

We welcome our guest speaker, Michael Raiter, who shares from 2 Corinthians 4, on the hope of the gospel that we have through Jesus Christ.

We continue looking at the wonder of the gospel, and in particular, the way the gospel works in us and through us. Andrew shares from Colossians 1:9-14 and encourages us to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord.

As we look ahead to Christmas and our Carols by Candlelight, we are drawn into a sense of wonder when we consider the beauty of the gospel, outlined in Ephesians 2.

We welcome Anthony Van Bemmel, a guest from Cobden CRC, who shares with us from Luke 9 and the transfiguration of Jesus.

We wrap up our series on the 5 Solas, as Andrew leads us in remembering that all of creation and all of life is for the glory of God alone.

We celebrate Reformation Sunday and the 500 years since the Reformation, by continuing our series on the solas. We wrestle with what does faith alone mean and how we are justified by God.

We welcome Michael de Kretser, pastor at Casey CRC, who shares with us on grace alone and encourages us that we are saved by God's work, not our own.
