Christmas Eve service at Catalyst.

The Christmas season and arrival of Jesus Christ brings hope, joy and ultimately LOVE.

There is true JOY to be found this Christmas but it does mean looking in the right place. Matt 28:11 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Christmas is a season that brings much Hope but who and what we put our hope in makes all the difference. Hope is the confident expectation and the sure certainty that what God has promised for our good in His Word is true.

If you're in uncharted waters, you are in a situation that is unfamiliar to you, that you have no experience of and don't know what might happen. Exploring the story of the Apostle Paul and the shipwreck in Acts 27, Darren draws some lessons out that we can apply when navigating through the uncharted waters of our life.1. You will survive. A word from God.2. Knowledge Up - get soundings and information to let you know where you are at.3. Eat - Don't neglect your own well being. Spiritual, emotional and physical.4. Swim or grab a plank - you need to play a part in surviving.5. Get around encouraging people. Where would the crew have been without Paul there?

Our capacity for compassion comes from God and His love. Highly respected across Australia, Ps Keith Farmer explores the example of Jesus and need for us to be people that express compassion in our everyday interactions.

One in 4 people has a mental illness. You can be the one that helps. As part of our Travelling Light series, we interview Peter Gee, a mental health counsellor with decades of experience, about how we can best help others that are going through a mental health condition.

Disappointment is something even the best face but not everyone deals with it the same. How can we respond in the midst of it?
