The Exchange hosted by the Melbourne City Adventist Church

In the third part of our trilogy on the Trinity, we look at the Holy Spirit - who is He, and what is His role in our lives?

Last week, Roy shared why the Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit) is such an inviting concept, though challenging to comprehend. Today, we explore further the Unity of God - how is God ONE? And what does the Unity of God mean for us?

The topic of the trinity can often feel like a cerebral idea that can't really be explained to any real satisfaction. Join us this Saturday as we explore not only the theology of the trinity, but the practical implications of what it means to adopt a trinitarian theology as a church community.

Pr Gatkuoth has an amazing story about the pain of rejection - and how that rejection can turn into a blessing.

It’s easier to criticise and judge than to listen and affirm. This Saturday, come explore the example of Barnabas, a “son of encouragement” who advocated for others and empowered individuals to flourish.

Rembrandt is remembered as a prolific artist, one of the greatest painters in history. Did you know that he was also a devout Christian? His life and artwork portray a picture of God that have inspired individuals like Vincent Van Gogh and Henri Nouwen to discover a more personal God. What can we learn from his story and story-telling?

Many of you know Van Gogh as a post-impressionist painter. Did you know Van Gogh was deeply religious? This Saturday we will delve into the faith of Van Gogh and explore how he connected with God even in his imperfection.

As we honour the service and sacrifice of many this ANZAC weekend, we pause to reflect and remember what God has done for us in our personal and shared history.

Why does the story of Jesus matter? Why do we celebrate HIs life, death and resurrection? What does it mean for us personally and for our community?

The events that conclude Acts 2 led the church to four practices that serve as a blueprint for spiritual growth in the church. Those four practices are 1. Attention to God’s word and works, 2. Shared participation and resources, 3. Breaking of Bread, and 4. Prayer and Worship. In part one of this series, we introduced the first practice. Join us this weekend as we explore the remainder of the prac...

We’re starting a new series on cultivating courage, exploring the stories of men and women in Bible history who faced fears and challenges and either overcame or succumbed to them. In part 1, we examine our desire to please people rather than God and our fear of criticism.

As we conclude this series on the teachings of Jesus, we examine how we can live out Jesus' teachings and overcome the barriers we often face.

Jesus painted a countercultural picture of what his kingdom could look like if his people were faithful to the blueprint. Our guest speaker Pr Ryan Vidot looks at the alternative picture the bible also paints when we choose to pursue our own path to the exclusion of Jesus’ kingdom teachings.

In Part 6 of our series on the teachings of Jesus, we examine Matthew 7:12 “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” What does it mean to live by the Golden Rule? How can we have healthy boundaries? Explore with us this Saturday.

Everyone agrees that a part of what it means to follow Jesus is experiencing personal transformation. However, it's difficult to navigate our attitude towards this change - from accepting our flaws, to submitting to change, to being content with where God has us. What does it mean to cultivate the right attitude and approach towards personal change as a follower of Christ? Join us this weekend as...

It’s tempting to stigmatise those who are not like us, to judge those whom we don’t understand. But God reminds us that we are all His children and that we should see with His eyes: to see the worth in every person, to realise our own hypocrisy, and to affirm our common humanity. Join us this Saturday as we explore another teaching of Jesus: don’t judge.

Jesus knew the temptation to live for prosperity would compete with faithfulness to God. In this section of His sermon on the mount, Jesus explains how we can seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and reduce our anxiety about the future.

In the Bible, we find several paradoxical pairs - concepts that are opposite in nature yet inseparable in practice. For example, mercy and truth. Join us as we explore what it means to live out mercy and truth.

Join us as we share stories of real people who experienced the power of prayer.

We continue exploring the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 5-8 by focusing on His explanation of prayer. What is the purpose of prayer and how should we pray?

What kind of attitude should we cultivate at the beginning of 2022? Should we be optimistic or cautious? This Saturday, we’ll be looking at the story of when Israel went through a 3.5-year drought. The lessons from 1 Kings 18 are applicable to us today as we navigate an extended period of uncertainty.
