1John 2:15-17 | Ps Alex Huggett

See the  video introduction here. 

In this message we unpack dichotomy between our love for the world and our devotion to God. The world, in this context, isn't just society or people but a system under Satan's control. We'll face head-on the hard questions around the types of love we profess, the pitfalls of worldly adoration, and how our affections impact our spiritual walk with God. We'll also equip you with the antidote — a relentless craving for the things of God and His approval.

Ever feel like you're navigating through an era of confusion and chaos? Perhaps you're witnessing rifts within your own family or community, or grappling with the fear of persecution for your beliefs? In our latest episode, we unpack Jesus' teachings from Mark 13, addressing these disorienting times and the importance of discernment amid the clamor of voices claiming to speak for Christ. We explore how to anchor oneself in truth, instead of getting swept away by the tumult.

The world we inhabit can often feel hostile towards Christian values. So how do we stand firm, ready for Jesus' return, and continue to bear witness for Christ even in the face of persecution? Drawing strength from Jesus' own words, we discuss how to prepare for these challenges, trusting the Holy Spirit for guidance and understanding the necessity of being alert for Jesus's coming. Above all, we underscore the importance of doing the Lord's work and holding steadfast to our faith. Join us as we journey through these complex themes, praying for courage and commitment in these uncertain times.

What if the understanding of who Jesus is could change your life? Today, we tackle this profound question through the eyes of Nicodemus, a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews, whose curiosity about Jesus led to a transformational conversation about being born again and the Kingdom of God. We journey back to first-century Israel, examining its context and the anticipated arrival of the Messiah, providing a fresh perspective on the expanse of God's Kingdom and its significance for us in the 21st century.

In this message we uncover the four types of fruit that Jesus seeks in us . These aren't just abstract concepts - they're the tangible evidence of God working within us, shaping our character and actions. We challenge ourselves and consider the space we've created for Christ in our lives. It's through this connection, this room we make for Him, that we can be fruitful in God's kingdom, and this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how to do just that.

Malachi 3.7-12 | Pr Alex Huggett
Part 4 of our series "How to Stay Afloat When the Economy is Sinking"

Are you prepared to challenge your beliefs about tithing, especially when economic hardship strikes? Today we dive into the Bible to decipher how tithing acts as an avenue for worship and acknowledging God's dominion. We uncover the historical context of tithes serving as wages for priests and sharing resources with the poor. We invite you on a journey to understand the principle of sowing and reaping; how it's intertwined with God's blessings and our faith, and its relevance for today.

In this sermon, we dive into the deep waters of a contentious issue – the referendum on the constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia. This exploration will broaden your horizons and deepen your understanding of reconciliation, healing, and unity despite conflicting viewpoints. We discuss  how we can foster unity and love amidst diverse perspectives.

We discuss taking ownership in conflict situations and the role of restitution as an act of love and justice. We'll walk you through the powerful concept of forgiveness, its capacity to mend relationships and foster healing. We'll shed light on the referendum as a potential step towards a healed and reconciled future, and how Jesus' gospel of reconciliation can guide us towards peace.

Pr Alex Huggett | Acts 4.32-37
Part 2 of the series "Staying Afloat When the Economy is Sinking"

Are you yearning to live a life marked by abundance and grace, rather than one driven by scarcity and consumption? We explore the deep  well of the early Jerusalem church's radical love and unity. We discuss their remarkable spirit of cooperation, which, driven by their commitment to Jesus Christ, resulted in powerful gospel effectiveness. 

How can we, in the 21st century, replicate the unity, grace, and abundance that characterized the first church? In the face of today's economic challenges, we discuss the potential for financial resilience within our churches, grounded in a renewed commitment to Christ's teachings. Listen, as we invite the transformative power of God to breathe fresh life into our communities.
