What does it really mean to be saved?

And why does baptism matter?

In this message, we break down two life-changing questions:
-Have you been saved?
-Have you been baptised?

This sermon unpacks the heart of the Gospel — not as religion, but as a real relationship with God. Discover how salvation is a gift for everyone who believes (not something you earn), what it means to be “born again,” and why baptism is a powerful, public declaration of your new life in Christ.

Whether you're new to faith, returning to church, or wanting clarity, this message will help you understand:
-What Jesus actually did for you
-How you can be sure you're saved
-What changes when you follow Christ
-Why baptism matters and when to take that step This could be your moment.

What if you’re not as powerless as you feel?

In this message, we move beyond knowing about spiritual authority… and learn how to actually walk in it every day. Too often, we leave inspired on Sunday—but by Monday, doubt creeps back in. This sermon is about changing that.

Discover how:
-The cross was more than forgiveness—it was a legal victory over darkness
-You already have authority over the enemy, sickness, and lies
-Prayer and God’s Word activate real power in your life
-Faith, relationship, and integrity unlock your authority

Speaking truth, resisting the enemy, and interceding can transform lives.

You are not a victim of your circumstances—you are an ambassador of Christ, carrying His authority into the world.

It’s time to stop waiting to feel powerful… and start walking in the power you’ve already been given.

Watch now and step into your authority.

What happens after the resurrection?

In this message, we explore the moment when Jesus appears to His disciples and says, “As God has sent me, I am sending you.” This is more than a command—it’s a calling backed by divine authority.

Too often, believers live beneath what God has already given them. But the truth is: we are not just saved—we are sent.

In week 1 of this sermon series we begin to unpack:

• What the Great Commission really means for your daily life
• The source of our authority (hint: it’s not us)
• How the Holy Spirit empowers us to live boldly
• Our authority over sin, fear, and the enemy
• How prayer, worship, and service keep us connected to Christ

Jesus didn’t rise just to be remembered—He rose to be lived out through us.

The question isn’t whether you have authority…It’s whether you’ll walk in it.

Listen now and step into the life God has already called and equipped you for.

What if Easter isn’t just about an empty tomb—but a living hope that changes everything?

From the empty tomb in John 20 to Jesus’ bold declaration in John 11, discover how resurrection is not just an event—but a person.

Jesus didn’t just bring life… He is life.
Eternal life isn’t just future—it begins now.
Death is not the end, but a doorway to something greater.
This sermon unpacks the deep truth that our hope is not wishful thinking—it’s grounded in the resurrection of Christ. Whether you’re exploring faith or seeking renewed perspective, this message invites you to encounter the life, love, and promise found in Jesus.

What does the cross really mean?
On Palm Sunday, the crowds shouted “Hosanna – save us!” expecting Jesus to overthrow Rome… but instead, He did something far greater. Through the cross, Jesus launched a revolution that didn’t just change individual lives—it changed the entire world.
In this message, we explore:

• The Power of the Cross – why it still moves hearts today
• The Purpose of the Cross – more than just getting to heaven
• The Puzzle of the Cross – understanding its deeper meaning

Discover how the crucifixion is not just about forgiveness, but about new creation, restoration, and God’s plan to renew all things.
This is not an escape story.
This is a rescue mission.
This is the beginning of a revolution.
Watch now and see how the cross changes everything—not just your future, but your life today.

What does it really mean to live by faith?

In this journey through Hebrews 11, we explore the kind of faith that doesn’t just believe—but endures, obeys, and trusts God even when life doesn’t make sense.
From Abel to Abraham, from Moses to the prophets, Scripture shows us that faith is not passive—it’s active, costly, and deeply relational.
This sermon will challenge you to:
-Trust God’s promises over your present circumstances
-Step out in obedience—even when the outcome is unclear
-Hold onto hope in both victory and suffering
-Fix your eyes on what is unseen and eternal
Faith is not wishful thinking—it’s confidence in who God is and what He has said.
No matter what you’re facing today, this message is a call to keep going, keep trusting, and keep believing.

What is your “by faith” statement?

Every believer has been called by God.
Many people think that a calling is only for pastors, missionaries, or church leaders—but the Bible teaches something far greater. God has given every believer unique gifts to serve in the Body of Christ.
In this sermon, we explore Ephesians 4:1–13 and Colossians 3:13–17 (NLT) to discover what it truly means to live a life worthy of the calling God has placed on us.
This message highlights three key truths about serving in God’s kingdom:
• Living our calling requires a heart of humility
• Living our calling requires unity in the Body of Christ
• Living our calling helps build and strengthen the church

God is not simply looking for capable people—God is looking for servant hearts. When believers serve with humility, love, and unity, the church grows stronger and the world begins to see Christ through the lives of blelivers.
No matter your role, your gifts matter. Every act of service contributes to the work God is doing in His church to reveal Christ to the world. Watch and be encouraged to discover how you can live out the calling God has placed on your life.

What does it mean to come home from exile?
In this powerful and hope-filled message from Melbourne Inclusive Church, we explore Psalm 126 and the promise of restoration, joy, and “greater things.” Just as Israel returned from Babylonian exile with laughter and songs of joy, we are reminded that God is still restoring, still renewing, and still bringing exiles home today.
This sermon connects the ancient story of exile and return to our present calling as an inclusive faith community. Through the life and teachings of Jesus, we see that the Kingdom of God is about radical welcome, deep reconciliation, and creating safe spaces for those who have felt pushed out, excluded, or forgotten.
As we prepare for the Greater Things Conference—welcoming global siblings from Mexico, Taiwan, and the US—we celebrate what God has done and look ahead with expectation for what God will continue to do.
-Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.
-We are called to help the exiles come home.
-Expect great things—because God is not finished yet. Join us as we pray, celebrate, and step boldly into the next season of Spirit-filled, inclusive ministry.

Trigger Warning: This message briefly mentions depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. Please take care of yourself while listening. What happens when your mind says “no”… but God says “yes”?

In this deeply personal and powerful testimony, Bryce shares what it looked like to make 2025 a Year of Yes — a year of choosing obedience over fear, faith over insecurity, and truth over the lies that once felt louder than anything else.

After years marked by depression, anxiety, CPTSD, chronic illness, suicidal thoughts, and feeling completely lost, Bryce found themself at a crossroads: stay hidden and small, or trust God enough to say “Your will, not mine.” From stepping into the worship team, holding the banner at Pride, facilitating connect groups, and helping plan conference — every “YES” felt terrifying at first. But each act of obedience rewrote old narratives of: “I’m too much.” “I’m not enough.” “I don’t belong.” “I’m not qualified.”

Anchored in scriptures like Psalm 139 and Ephesians 2:10, this sermon explores:
• Rewriting the lies we believe about ourselves
• Aligning identity with God’s Word
• Trusting God when capacity feels low
• Saying YES even when you feel unqualified
• Finding healing through obedience If you’ve ever wrestled with negative thoughts, fear, comparison, chronic illness, identity, or feeling unseen — this message is for you. Saying YES doesn’t mean it isn’t scary. It means trusting that God equips who He calls.
