What will Grace Christian Church Buderim be known for in 2022? Jesus tells us it should be love: a love that shows the world the gospel.

We're used to talking about Jesus as the 'the Son of God'. But what does it really mean? And what does it mean for how we must relate to him?

When Jesus came, he came us the light of the world. Light helps us to see, and Jesus' light is no different. He helps us to clearly see God, ourselves, and how to be reconciled to the Father.

Words are for communication. Did you know that God has a favourite word, which he has spoken to communicate his creative and life-giving power to the world? That’s right. It’s ‘Jesus’.

Failure is part of human life. But if we belong to Christ, failure doesn't define us. Instead, we are justified by faith in Jesus, and that is the final word on what God thinks of us.

What do we really need? As Jesus talks to the Samaritan woman at the well, their conversation gets down to our deepest need, and how Jesus can supply it. Sermon preached by trainee preacher Ben Tay.

Most Australians know that Christians believe in Jesus who died on a cross. But do they know what that means?

At the very end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus' challenge is simple: will you wisely build your life on his words, or foolishly build your life on the shifting sands of the world's ideas and aspirations?

As we move towards the end of the sermon, it might seem like Matthew is just gathering disconnected fragments of Jesus' teaching. But there's a clear thread still running through this middle section of the sermon, focussed on Christian behaviour, and that's our relationship with 'our Father in heaven'. In 7:1-12, it's this relationship that must shape our relationships with others.

Our relationship with the Father touches every area of our lives, even down to our daily needs. Though we live in a kingdom that depends on and obsesses over material wealth, Jesus calls members of God’s kingdom to depend on their Father in heaven, and put their relationship with him first.
