The Exchange hosted by the Melbourne City Adventist Church

There are many ways we can pursue personal freedom in life. We all want to be free and to live life without restriction, but is this really possible? This talk will look at a biblical passage that suggests the most liberating kind of freedom available to us. Just like exercise that enables the body to move more freely, these inspired words in John can enable us to live with more freedom than ever before.

Why does the Seventh-day Adventist church exist? How does it fit in to Christendom? Do I have to be an Adventist to go to heaven? Explore the unique role and identity of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the context of history 2,000 years of Christianity.

What are your expectations of God? What does it mean to align them to His will? Learn from the story of Naaman.

Prayer is powerful. But how do we pray powerfully? Jesus had a powerful prayer life, so what example of prayer does He give us.

What do we do when things don’t go according to our plans? What lessons can we learn from Paul who was no stranger to plans being shattered, especially a voyage to Rome that ended in shipwreck?

Looking at the story of Zaccheus in the Bible, we learn Jesus loves sinners and calls us to do the same.

We believe we have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But does the seeking ever end? Are we ever satisfied? How can we experience lasting joy, despite circumstances and challenges?

You can't relive the past, but you can start over. The bible has an incredible message that gives hope to inspire a new start. In this session, we discover a special event that took place that gives us hope of a new life and a new start.

Have you wondered why it is that we as Christians have one book and yet so many churches? In this session, we explore church history and how the church became organised and then divided.

The idea of a hell fire that burns the wicked for eternity contradicts the statements in the Bible that claim God is love. How do we reconcile the ideas of punishment and love? What does the Bible actually say about Hell and punishment? We explore these ideas in this presentation.
