The Forum in Sydney

How can we find contentment in relationships, work, and with money matters? How can we enjoy satisfaction? In Philippians 4.10-23 Paul shares the secret to contentment with a little or a lot, whether people treat you well or not, and through the good times and hard times.

What goals should we have for life? With what strategy? Who to model ourselves off? Paul puts forward his own life as an illustration.

How can one get right with God? Grow spiritually? Find joy? Paul puts forward his religious resume and does something surprising with it to illustrate all these things

Christians are called to live a life worthy of the gospel. This is a tall order and it's difficult to know how to do this. Paul points to two examples to help us see what it looks like.

Christians are called to treat each other with humility. This is a tough ask but Paul shows us why and how it is possible

In Philippians, Paul is writing a letter from Prison. By all accounts it looks like he has failed and the message of Jesus has failed... BUT Paul argues why the message of Jesus hasn't failed and is just as solid as ever.

Maintaining connections is hard. As we read Paul's letter to the Philippians, it's apparent he has maintained deep connections with those people despite the hurdles of distance, time and imprisonment. What's his secret?

Our city is named after Lord Sydney. We say his name everyday. Yet most of us don’t know anything about him. So what about us? What will happen to us after we die? Will we be honoured? Will we be treasured? Will we be remembered?

Listen as Sam Chan addresses how to have an extraordinary legacy when no-one will remember us.

When a famous person dies in their prime, often we say, “Well it just goes to show.” But what does it show? That we need to get as much out of life as we can? That we need to die doing what we love? The problem with life is that we all have to die one day.

Sam Chan addresses this question of how can we have an extraordinary life when we have to die anyway.

Nice guys finish last. In the 1976 Montreal Olympics, some nations used performance enhancing drugs and won most of the gold medals. Australia apparently didn’t use any drugs because we didn’t win any gold medals. So what’s the point of being a good person? And what is “good” anyway? Is it merely you have your version of “good” and I have mine?
