Reader: Esther Hudson Preacher: Josh Hennessy Regularly we look at the Book Of Jonah and think it's about a prophet and his rebellion against God. This is partially true. It's a reflection on us all, where we also rebel against God. However, the real story of this book is God's sovereignty. Even though Jonah rebels, he still carries out God's will, and in this case, God's will is to save the very...

Reader: Jake Elzo Preacher: Jonathan Smith The final chapter in Part III of our series details a pretty wild conclusion to the first missionary journey. In Iconium, the city is divided and a plot is formed to stone Paul and Barnabas. In Lystra, Paul is first mistaken for Hermes and nearly worshipped, then stoned and left for dead in the street. In Derbe, they make many disciples - and then, remark...

Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Jonathan Smith Paul stands in a synagogue - among people who know the story of Israel - and traces the entire arc of that story to its fulfilment in Jesus: promised, rejected, crucified, raised, vindicated. The response is mixed. Many beg to hear more, but the synagogue rulers contradict and insult. Paul and Barnabas respond directly: since you reject eternal life,...

Reader: Bek Hudson Preacher: Jonathan Smith The first deliberate, organised mission in Acts is launched from the new community in Antioch - not in a strategic meeting, but as they worship and fast. Paul and Barnabas's first significant encounter on the island of Cyprus is a head-to-head with Elymas, a sorcerer who tries to prevent the proconsul from hearing the gospel. The encounter is not random,...

Reader: Danita O'Loughlin Preacher: Jonathan Smith Chapter 12 is a commentary about where ultimate power lies. Herod Agrippa I is at the height of his authority - executing apostles, imprisoning Peter, enjoying the applause of crowds who honour him as a god. By the end of the chapter he is dead while Peter walks free. The church's weapon against its persecutors is not force, but prayer fervent, pe...

Antioch shouldn't have happened. The unnamed disciples who travelled there after Stephen's death were scattered refugees, not apostles. Yet a church was planted and something amazing took root: a community so visibly different that the watching city came up with a new name for them: Christians. Antioch also becomes a model of sacrificial generosity, sending financial relief to Judean brothers and...

Reader: Danita O’Loughlin Preacher: Joshua Hennessy This week Josh is tackling the question: How can we support single people who often feel overlooked, compared to those in relationships?

Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne...

Reader: Praise Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today Jonathan looks at the biblical view of masculinity and femininity. What the world teaches about these gender roles is totally different to what the bible teaches. Men and women are created in the image of God, so we should reflect that image to the world. At the end of this message there is a short Q & A session where Jonathan expands further to people...

Reader: Jake Elzo Preacher: Tibor Tumas Today Tibor heps to answer the question on how to cope with anxiety during a time of waiting. Though God is not the author of anxiety - it came as a result of our sin - God is sovereign over anxiety. Anxiety is nothing new - the Israelites, when fleeing Egypt, were consumed by anxiety when they feared the Egyptian army had them trapped, but Moses told the pe...

Reader: Esther Hudson Preacher: John Hudson Today John Hudson kicks off our new series: You've Got Issues. He will be considering the question of how to place boundaries after forgiving sin.

Reader: Esther Hudson Preacher: Jonathan Smith It's Resurrection Sunday - a day to celebrate what Jesus achieved on the cross. The big question we need to ask is this - if this story is true, then what does this mean for Jesus, and what does it mean for us? This story is true - there is more than enough historical evidence to prove this, and the dramatic change in the lives of his disciples align...

Reader: Bek Hudson Preacher: Joshua Hennessy It's Good Friday - a rememberance of the day Jesus was crucified. A criminal was convicted, a sentence was imposed and a price was paid. The sentence was appropriate and the price paid was enormous, but was the right criminal convicted? The sentence for rebelling against God is death, and a death occurred to satisfy the judgement - teh judgement that sh...

Reader: Danita O'Loughlin Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today Pastor Jonathan takes us through James, chapter 5. James concludes this letter with sobering warning and steady encouragement. He denounces unjust wealth that exploits the vulnerable and reminds the oppresed that the Lord sees them. Believers are called to patient endureance, like farmers waiting the harvest. Above all, James highlights pray...

Reader: Praise Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today Pastor Jonathan takes us through James, chapter 4. There are many world views detailing what is wrong with the world. Most make it a problem about "them" - if "they" were like "us" there would not be the problems we have. James says the problem with the world is us - not them. We desire other things before God. We want friendship with the world, adopti...

Reader: Jake Elzo Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today Pastor Jonathan takes us through James, chapter 3. James highlights the immense power of the tongue, however he clearly states that we cannot tame the tongue, because the words that come from our mouth ultimately come from the source of all of our sin - our heart. The problem with the tongue os a problem with the heart. Jonathan presents to us who w...

Reader: John Hudson Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today Pastor Jonathan takes us through James, chapter 2. James' central claim is stark: faith without works is dead. He does not oppose grace but challenges a claim to faith that produces no fruit. Instead, genuine faith is the sail in whihc good works grow. Belief and behaviour belong together. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We...

Reader: Praise Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today Pastor Jonathan starts a new series covering the letter from James. James teaches that trials are not obstacles to faith, but instruments of maturity. God uses testing to produce perserverance, shaping believers into people who lack nothing. Yet endurance requires wisdom - a gift God generously gives to those who ask in faith. Red Door is an Anglican C...

At the centre of the poem is David’s desire: “One thing I ask… that I may dwell in the house of the Lord.” More than safety or victory, he longs for God’s presence.

Reader: Bek Hudson Preacher: JS We welcome our CMS link missionaries, J & D . J is preaching from Psalm 43, reflecting on God’s faithfulness through all situations. The psalmist is depressed (cf V2 "Why must I go about in sorrow because of the enemy's oppression?"). Isn't it great that he can speak with God with such honesty? But what is geeater is that we too can speak to God in exactly the same...
