The Exchange hosted by the Melbourne City Adventist Church

The immediate future is uncertain, we accept this and with God’s strength within us we continue to step forward into the daily unknown, with a long-term strategic promise of resolution and peace. But what happens when the past is uncertain? When the ripples from the past constantly change our understanding of the landscape of the here and now. What did we not see? What did we not do? Who did we not meet?

Prior to 1998 the church had little interest in ecology and sustainability. In the past twenty years there have been significant developments in theology and activism within Christianity. Join us this weekend as we explore a theology of land and the contributions Christians around the world are making to sustain the place we call home.

Bringing a little "Christmas in July" to cheer us during Lockdown 5.1, join us as we look at why the angels sang when Jesus was born and why we too still have a reason to rejoice, despite our challenges

Lockdown 5.0. Each time, it feels a bit heavier, a bit harder to pull ourselves out of disappointments from cancelled plans and frustrations from the uncertainty of it all. This pandemic and the resulting lockdowns feel like an endless winter, a long, cold and dark night. This Saturday, hear the stories of incredible individuals who learned that “ignoring the darkness doesn’t make it light. Avoiding brokenness doesn’t bring redemption. But singing in the dark can heal us and change us. When our songs are directed toward God, the giver of song and healing, they ultimately bring us hope and joy … and [growing] courage” (Ginny Owens, “Singing in the Dark”).

Too often we base our value on our success in life, our job title or status, the things that we do and how well we live our lives. The problem is this value is temporary and ever-changing; it is not a real measure of who we really are.Join us this Saturday as we unpack the story of the woman who bled for 12 years from the book of Mark. Through her life, we will explore the meaning of value through Jesus and what this means for you and me.
