2023 Services and Sermon Videos

January 29, 2023 - Epiphany 4
What does the future hold for our country, Australia? What does the future hold for the church in Australia? While we face some truly unique challenges in these changing times, we know that our future is bound up in the person of Jesus Christ. We know that he holds the future in his hands and he calls us to trust in his gracious leading.

One of the saddest things in the Christian community is when we see people drift away from the life of the church and from Christ, with some even losing their faith completely! While God’s gifts are graciously given to us freely, ‘without any merit or worthiness’ on our part, we are still called to receive those gifts in faith and put them to work in our lives for the glory of God and the good of others. The Apostle Paul compares the Christian faith to an athletic event (1 Corinthians 9:24-27) — one that requires discipline and persistence and focus. Knowing that Christ has himself won the prize for us, let us therefore not run aimlessly, but with our eyes fixed on the prize so that we will not be disqualified!

Inviting people to worship with us in the Christian church can be rather daunting. Yet, throughout history, God has used the countless invitations issued to family, friends and neighbours to ‘come and see’, to ultimately grow his church. ‘Come and see’ were the words used by Jesus and his first disciples, as they invited people to meet God’s chosen one, the Messiah. But, what did they and what are we inviting people to hear or see? Our sermon today (John 1:29-42) examines this invitation and it’s significance for us, as we come to see ‘the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. Help us, Lord, to see who you truly are and what you graciously give us!

January 1, 2023 - First Sunday after Christmas
As we begin a new year, God's word invites us to reflect on his gift of time (Ecclesiastes 3:1-13) and our use or misuse of it. At just the right time, Christ was born in time and space for our salvation. And he promises to be with us through whatever changing and challenging times may lay ahead. As the psalmist said, 'Lord, our times are in your hands'.
