Grace, the Trust  

John 9:1-16  

The grace of God is challenging to us.  We want to be able to prove ourselves, to earn blessing, but God doesn't work that way.  So how do we earn God's blessing and favour?

UNDESERVED-God's Gift of Grace  

Grace has a nice ring to it.  We all appreciate when grace is shown to us, but when, and how does God show His grace to us?  How should we respond?

Grace, the Search  

Matthew 2:1-2  

The willing search by the Magi was an example of how our Father wants us to seek for Him.  Are there any shortcuts?  What are the traps?  In Christ we have all the answers.

Grace, the Faith  

Luke chapter 1  

The simplicity of Mary's faith.  Sometimes we over complicate things.  When it comes to faith in Christ, the story of Christmas, we can take heart that our Father doesn't require anything other than a simple faith.

Jesus' Shady Family Tree  

Matthew 1:2-17  

Grace - the back story.  The genealogy of Jesus is a reminder that perfection is not always the precursor to the great works of God.  Sometimes, it takes a journey through a twisted mess of troubles and imperfections to bring about the ultimate goal.  His patient enduring grace brings about incredible results.

No Longer Covered  

Matthew 7:1-6  

Born into Acceptance  

The family of God is the most healing place on earth- if... If we love each other.  Our churches are communities of Grace so that we can put down our guard and know we will be accepted as we are.

No Longer Divided  

Genesis 4:8-9

Born into Harmony

All good parents set the boundaries for life inside the family, and they do it so that there is harmony and unity in the home.  God's family is just the same.  Get the Picture?

No Longer Placeless  

Remembrance Day  

Born into an Identity.  On a special remembrance day, 100 years from the end of the great war, we look at how the Nation of Australia found its identity through WW1, and how we discover who we are through others.  Get the Picture?

No Longer Orphans  

Genesis 2:18

Born into a Family.  When the Bible talks about the people of God, the most common description is Family.  We become connected to one another and our Father through Jesus.  Get the Picture?

Serving - Steve Crouch 

Ephesians 4:11-13 

The church is a vessel through which Christ offers Himself to the world.  If that is so, then what is our part in the grand scheme?  What should you or I be doing to fuflfill our part of this work of God?
