Philippians 4:14-20 Paul's encouragement to the Philippians and commendation of their generosity, is a reminder for us to do the same- and reap the rewards of our generous father! Christy Rayner 05/07/2026

Philippians 4:8-9 Taking some time to stop and reflect on who Jesus is and who he has been through our walk with himPreached on 28th June 2026 by Scott Richardson

Worry is a prompt to pray. The things we worry about or have a lack of peace about give us an invitation to bring to the Lord who is near. Shane Rayner - 21st June 2026

Eagerly waiting or mindlessly numbing?       or passively acquiescing?         or trusting in ourselves? Continuing our series on Philippians entitled "One Family, One Score", this week Shane hits up Philippians 3:18 - 4:1. We are warned by Paul about those whose god is their stomach. These are contrasted with citizens of heaven who eagerly wait for Jesus. We are not just reacting to our...

Philippians 3:12-17 Exhortation to keep going- run the race set out for us in Christ Jesus. Christy Rayner 31/05/26

Ernie’s Pentecost testimony 24/05/26

Phil 3:1-11. Paul tells us that rejoicing in the Lord is a safeguard for us. There are things that are worth protecting! Shane Rayner 24/05/26

Today we focus in on a lesser known hero of the faith, Epaphroditus. We hear about him in Phil 2:25-30. We are told to honour people like him. We are all sent. We all help fulfil the great commission. We just do it a bit differently from each other. Its important to honour one another for the different roles we play, especially those who can fly under the radar. Epaphroditus is worth celebrating....

It’s Mother’s Day! Christy takes us to the scriptures in the Old and New Testament where God uses motherhood imagery to describe himself. We get a glimpse into Gods purpose for women, and their unique role in representing his love on the earth. Christy Rayner 10th May 2026

We have arrived at the section of the letter (Philippians) where Paul lifts up two heroes of the faith. Firstly, it’s Timothy - his deeply loved son in the faith. We see the power of living out the life that Paul has been calling the Philippians to. It’s important to call out good examples of the faith and to let them spur us on to love and good works.

Philippians 2:14 "Do everything without grumbling and arguing" is a blanket statement. Join us as we delve into it and the verses surrounding it to see why and how we ought to take this command seriously today. Shane Rayner - 26th April 2026

In this final episode of our ‘Easter flannelgraph’ series, we discover afresh the power of the gospel to not only forgive but transform lives. Christy Rayner - 19th April 2026

Do we miss the point of the story by calling it Doubting Thomas? Jesus gave Thomas exactly what he required in order to believe. Maybe we should call it Evidence-Rich Jesus. Shane Rayner April 12 2026

We put ourselves in the disciples shoes to understand what they experienced. Jesus didnt do what they expected. But so much more! Their despair was turned to great joy. This is our hope in Him! Christy Rayner Easter Sunday: 05/04/2026

Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Shane Rayner Good Friday: 03/04/2026

In this message Christy unpacks the history and context around Palm Sunday. This context deepens our appreciation of what Jesus came to do. When Jesus fails to meet our expectations, it’s because he’s preparing to exceed them! Preached by Christy Rayner 29 March 2026

Philippians 2:1-11 contains one of the most beautiful hymns ever written. Many scholars think it was something that Paul was quoting, rather than creating. In it we see the incredible humility and exaltation of Christ. The passage opens with a declaration of the benefits we receive in Christ, it then follows with instructions for us to live by and concludes with the hymn, detailing how Jesus has s...

Philippians 1:27 begins, "Just one thing, as citizens of heaven, live your life worthy of the gospel of Christ". In this week's sermon, we look at what it means to life a life worthy of the gospel of Christ according to Phil 1:27-30. Shane Rayner 15/03/2026

This week we step through Philippians 1:20-26, looking at 3 threats to our honouring of Christ. Shane Rayner 01/03/2026

Stepping through Philippians 1:12-19, and using the modern day example of Maryam Rostampour and Marziyeh Amirizadeh, Shane challenges us to proclaim the gospel. We see Paul, Maryam and Marziyeh all strategising to proclaim the gospel. Their strategies result in gospel fruit, but also personal suffering, which leads to more gospel proclamation.15/02/2026

"To see the family of God expand through our shared Kingdom life in McLaren Vale." Christy unpacks our church mission statement and what it means in practical terms for us as a church 08/02/2026

Here's a wrap up from our PAK outreach at Christmas last year Presented by Christy Rayner on 8th Feb 2026

What does it look like to have active trust in God? In Phil 1:6-11, Paul declares his complete confidence in God’s ability to mature the Philippians, and yet he also outlines his own part of the process. Shane Rayner 1st Feb 2026

This Sunday Shane kicked off our series in Philippians, by looking at the opening 5 verses of the letter. We are introduced to the key theme of the whole letter - partnership in the gospel. This partnership is what makes us one family. And what is the one score? The gospel of course!25/01/26
