"It is time to cease excusing our sins by calling them shortcomings or natural weakness or by attributing them to our temperament [personalities] or environment. It is time to cease justifying our carnal [sinful] ways and materialistic outlook by pointing to others who are the same.  We must face our sins honestly in the light of God’s word, view them as He does and deal with them as before Him. U...

The key idea of our Secular Age: Human flourishing can be achieved without the presence of God. Progress can be made without presence. -- “What cancer has done was shine a light onto all the ways that I am content to progress without the presence of God. And you might think this is a sad way to end a sermon on revival but I do not see it that way. I desire revival.   But before revival occurs out...

God has always worked through a ‘faithful remnant’ of people who have a holy discontentment with the spiritual status quo. These people are fed-up with hollow and nominal religion, and know in their bones that false idols and ideologies are leading people astray. They know that God wants so much more for His people than nominal, dry, practically dead religion. Through repentance, fasting, prayer a...

Paul signs-off by calling the Colossians to prayer, praise, and personal testimony. -- “When the devil sees a man or woman who really believes in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does pray, and, above all, when he sees a whole church on its face before God in prayer, he trembles as much as he ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or community is at an end.” - R. A. Torrey...

Paul instructs the Colossians on what the New Humanity looks like in the Christian household. In contrast to the prevailing Roman culture, Paul envisions a family of people of equal value, who are each called to live in a way that recognises Jesus’ lordship over each member of the household. -- Preacher: Jonathan Smith Series: No Turning Back Passage: Colossians 3:18-4:1 Subscribe: apple.co/2Jht9C...

Christians have died to old ways of being, and have been raised to new life. That new life is marked by an eager expectation of his second coming. But as we wait, we are to cultivate virtues that align with our new identity as “God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved”. -- As God’s chosen people, Christians are being renewed into the image of God. This progressive ‘sanctification’ is the process b...

The believers in Colossae have received Christ, but Paul wants them to continue to grow in him, rather than being taken captive, and turning back to old ways of being and believing. -- Preacher: Duku Wolikare Series: No Turning Back Passage: Colossians 2:6-23 Subscribe: apple.co/2Jht9Cs More: www.reddoorchurch.com.au

**A second microphone was switched on during the recording of this message. You'll hear some occasional background noise, but you'll also be blessed by Pastor Duku's laugh - you're welcome :) -- Just as Jesus won redemption for his people by becoming the ultimate suffering servant, Paul is similarly embracing pain for the sake of the saints. -- Preacher: Jonathan Smith Series: No Turning Back Pass...

In the arenas of sport, politics, and the arts, there is always discussion and debate about who qualifies to be the ‘GOAT’ (Greatest Of All Time). In this beautifully written poem, Paul makes the claim that Jesus stands alone as supreme over all. -- Preacher: Jonathan Smith Series: No Turning Back Passage: Colossians 1:15-20 Subscribe: apple.co/2Jht9Cs More: www.reddoorchurch.com.au

Paul begins his letter with an avalanche of encouragement! He reminds the Colossian believers of who they are in Christ (1:2), lets them know that their pastor (Epaphras) thinks well of them (1:7-8), and shares the beautiful substance of his prayers for them (1:9-14). -- “Adoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers; ...adoption is higher [than justification] because of the richer rela...

In the final paragraph of our study in 1 Cor. 12-14, Paul addresses some important and controversial subjects regarding the worship gathering. -- Four statements to summarise what we’ve learned in this series: 1. Every believer, both male and female, young and old, is gifted to minister in the church. Pastors, Priests, and ‘Professional religious people’ aren’t more qualified to receive or exercis...

“...contrary to the opinion of many, spiritual edification can take place in ways other than through the cortex of the brain. Paul believed in an immediate communing with God by means of the Spirit that sometimes bypassed the mind...” 

- Gordon Fee, The First Epistle to the Corinthians -- While the primary purpose of spiritual gifts is the building up of the corporate church, Paul’s description o...

"This is not a suggestion or mere advice or wise counsel. This is a divine command, a mandate from God himself. If you and I are not earnestly desiring spiritual gifts, especially prophecy, we are disobedient...

This is not an issue for prayer. You do not respond to this passage by saying, “Well, ok, I’ll pray about it.” No. You don’t pray about whether or not you are going to obey God. God is...

If love for others doesn’t govern how we use our spiritual gifts, then they’re not only worthless, they’re irritating, and potentially dangerous. -- Preacher: Jonathan Smith Series: Gifted Passage: 1 Corinthians 13 Subscribe: apple.co/2Jht9Cs More: www.reddoorchurch.com.au

God has gifted each believer in different ways in order to build a healthy ‘body of believers’ called the church. Each of us should embrace our gifting and work in unity for the good of the whole body. -- Preacher: Ben Clements Series: Gifted Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:14:31 Subscribe: apple.co/2Jht9Cs More: www.reddoorchurch.com.au

Christians should pursue experiences of the Spirit in which we are anointed and empowered by His intimate presence. 
This is what the Bible calls the “filling” of the Spirit. -- "A man and his little child [are] walking down the road and they are walking hand in hand, and the child knows that he is the child of his father, and he knows that his father loves him, and he rejoices in that, and he is...

The charismatic gift of faith, distinct from converting & continuing faith, is typically given by God for a specific time and purpose - often in order to empower a believer to exercise gifts of healings and/or miracles. -- Preacher: Jonathan Smith Series: Gifted Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Subscribe: apple.co/2Jht9Cs More: www.reddoorchurch.com.au

The truth is millions of Aussies are burdened by overwhelming debt. CAP exists to help them. They're passionate about releasing people from a life sentence of debt, poverty and its causes. Running through local churches, CAP is tackling poverty head on. In this stand alone message, Scott Slingo, partnership director at CAP, shares about God's ministry of dignity restoration. -- Preacher: Scott Sli...

God wills that we desire spiritual gifts, not to pursue our own fame, but to selflessly strengthen others — “so that the church may be built up” (1 Cor. 14:5). Gifts of knowledge/wisdom and discernment are “revelatory” gifts because they are (often) concerned with something the Holy Spirit reveals that could not otherwise be known. -- Preacher: Jonathan Smith Series: Gifted Passage: 1 Corinthians...

At Red Door we believe in the ‘convergence’ of three Christian traditions: 1) the centrality of the Gospel and the authority of the Scriptures (Reformed); 2) the necessity of regularly participating in Baptism and Communion, and the employment of liturgy that connects us to the universal church through time (Sacramental); and 3) the validity and practice of all spiritual gifts in the life of the l...
