When is the last time you time were insulted, ignored, or even injured because of your faith in Jesus? Did it surprise you? Who did you turn to for help? These questions aren't just hypothetical for millions of Christians around the world. So how is the Gospel really Good News if it can lead to so much heartache in real life?

This week we'll unpack Jesus words of comfort about an uncomfortable reality--everyone who follows Him will be persecuted. And yet in the kingdom of God, those who are persecuted are blessed. We'll find out what that means, what it doesn't, and how we can keep believing under pressure.

You may not be a farmer or the child of a farmer, but you were put on earth to produce fruit. Your life is not about you--it's about seeing Jesus and becoming like Him, knowing Him, and making Him known. That's what it means to produce fruit that brings glory to God and joy to the world.

But how do we produce fruit? Jesus tells us we can if we remain located in Him. But what does that even mean? And where do we turn for help? Join us this Sunday as we get our hands dirty thinking about how we can be fruit-bearing Jesus worshippers for His glory and our joy.

We gather every Sunday at 10:00 at Christies Beach Primary School. Come early for a coffee and a chance to meet someone new. See you there!

We are back in the Gospel of John this Sunday! Three times in chapter 14, Jesus tells his disciples that if they love him, they will obey his commands. But what does that mean for us? We know that obedience is hard, so what happens when we fail?

Jesus isn't just laying down the law--he's got good news for us. Obedience is necessary, but it's also possible. Join us this Sunday as we open the word together, share communion, and spend time worshipping the One who is our Peace.

We've come a long way since January 2020. God has been so gracious to us, helping us get a glimpse of being a fruitful and multiplying family of Jesus worshippers here in Christies Beach and beyond. This Sunday is an opportunity to look back and thank God for what He's done, but also keep our eyes locked on Jesus to see where He's taking us from here on out.
Join us this Sunday as we celebrate together in worship at 10:00. Come early to grab a coffee and meet someone new. Don Reddin, the founding pastor of CityLight Church will bring us the Word. And then stick around afterwards--we'll have a meal together and games for the kids. It's going to be a great morning. See you there! 

Long before Jesus came preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, long before He died on the cross to save us from our sins and the eternal wrath of God, there lived a man called Hosea and his wife Gomer. They were an unlikely couple--together only because God commanded it.

Their marriage endured through adultery, unfaithfulness, and separation. But rather than being a tragic tale, theirs is a story of costly redemption and the power of God's faithful love. Their story is a picture of the ridiculous love of God for unworthy, unfaithful people like us.

Have you ever noticed that when Jesus sent his 12 disciples out to do ministry, he sent them out in pairs? Two isn't a magic number, but it does raise the question-- why is Gospel ministry so much better when we do it together with others?
This Sunday we'll look at the lives of a husband and wife who helped plant churches in two different continents. And we'll see the ways in which Gospel ministry is always better together.

The Shepherds and the Angels

8 In the same region, shepherds were staying out in the fields and keeping watch at night over their flock. 9 Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: 11 Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be the sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped tightly in cloth and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying:

14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to people he favors!

15 When the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go straight to Bethlehem and see what has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
