The Exchange hosted by the Melbourne City Adventist Church

Youtube is filled with examples of people posting random acts of kindness. Though the sacrifice is evident, the viewer has to watch an advertisement in order to watch the video. We live in a society where kindness is just as much about the giver as it is about the gift. Join us this Saturday as we explore what it means to live out Spirit-filled kindness.

Nicodemus was afraid of what people might think of him if they knew he was talking with Jesus. His reputation, his social position, and his careers were paramount priorities for him to protect and cultivate. But when Jesus died, Nicodemus risked all that to publicly declare himself a follower of Jesus. What made Nicodemus stand up for a dead man?

Peter, one of Jesus' closest followers, often let his fear dictate his actions. But as he journeyed with Jesus, he learned to live by faith. Find out how as we continue our series on the story of Jesus from various individuals' perspectives.

Patience and perseverance are often tied together. In the Bible, the two are separate ideas. Rather than developing resilience, patience is more of a surrender. When we learn to step into the role of being a patient, we will learn how to develop patience.

We live in a reward-for-effort world: study hard, get good marks. Work hard, get recognised. But that’s not how salvation works. Explore the concept of grace with us this Saturday as our guest speaker Pr Bruce Manners.

What was it like for Mary, the mother of Jesus, to watch her child grow up and fulfill God's will for His life, even to the cross? How did she learn to let go of her desire to control and protect her son and accept instead the Lordship of Jesus? Join us as We start a new series looking at the story of Jesus from various individuals' perspectives.

Our guest speaker Pastor Justin Bone explores with us the concept of the wilderness in the Bible and liminal spaces in our physical, emotional and spiritual lives.

The idea of peace is often used in the context of the absence of conflict. Peace in the Bible has a more positive resonance. It is a proactive virtue that informs how we are to live as followers of Jesus.

Racism, socio-economic inequality, and discrimination continue to oppress individuals and people groups around the world. God has always cared about social justice; His call echoes throughout history: "But let justice roll on like a river; righteousness like a never-failing stream!" (Amos 5:24). Join us as we look at the life and work of Bryan Stevenson, a contemporary Christian lawyer who has devoted his life to advocating on behalf of the poor, the discriminated and the condemned.
