Sunday Sermons

We're journeying by faith to be with Jesus face to face. God gives us what we need to know to get us there.

Some people are accustomed to worshipping idols. How can you love them when they turn to Jesus?

Are you anxious for freedom? Being known by Jesus reshapes our experience of slavery, service and freedom. In Jesus we find liberation and dignity.

How ought we approach marriage and consent? These were issues for the Corinthian church. The answers are found in who we are in Jesus.

How do we find joy? By knowing the joy to come, redirecting our joy, and reframing our sorrow. By Geoff Tacon. This sermon was preached at Moorooka on July 24, but this recording was made earlier when Geoff preached at Acacia Ridge on July 10.

God helps us find wisdom in a complex world. By Weber Hsu. This sermon was preached at Moorooka on July 17, and then this recording was made when Weber preached again at Acacia Ridge on July 24.

How do we speak with wisdom? In truth, with prudence and grace. By Rohan Pieris. This sermon was preached at Moorooka on July 10, and then this recording was made when Rohan preached again at Acacia Ridge on July 17.

David once again shows undeserved kindness to his enemies. He goes on two Mercy Missions to seek out people to show kindness to for kindness’s sake. And we get two completely different responses. One – Mercy Received – Mephibosheth recognises David for who he is, and accepts the undeserved kindness to wonderful abundant blessing.

The second – Mercy Rejected – the Ammonites can’t see past their prejudice – and so they don’t see the good thing in front of them when the have it to absolute disaster. This is where our series comes to an end – see God’s King for who he is.

In the chaos, the destruction, the suffering of the world – we long for the safety and security of a just and righteous ruler. Somebody we can cling to in the midst of the storm and know that we’ll be safe and protected and looked after.

Our trouble is that nobody fits the bill. Even our best leaders can fail and fall. They can’t fulfill that need – No matter who we campaign for – whose colours we regale our homes in every year – no amount of campaigning, nor door knocking – nor marching is going to set everything right. What we need is a good king ordained by God. God’s King reigns doing what is just and right for all his people – So we should know that he will bring rest. David does what is right and just by warding off death and defeating his enemies – so Israel could know that he would bring rest. Then Jesus does what is right and just by defeating death the greatest enemy – so we can know that he will bring rest.

We can confidently call upon God as our Father. He will build his kingdom, with Jesus as its head.
