Jesus is the greatest priest ever

Series: Greater than - Hebrews - part 3

Date preached: 15th December 2024

TIDE Church is a diverse community of people on a mission to follow the teaching and life of Jesus. We are a Christian church based in Adelaide, Australia who are sharing the good news of Jesus with people everywhere.

Today’s message …

Nothing gets people arguing like a discussion about who is the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). 2000 years ago someone wrote a message to convince people that Jesus is the GOAT. That message was so powerful for those who heard it that they copied it and shared it - and the people who heard it copied it and shared it, and today that message still lives … we call it the book of “Hebrews” in our Bibles. In this series we unpack this ancient message from start to finish, asking ourselves what this ancient message has to say to us in the 21st century about who really is the GOAT.

Questions to reflect on and discuss from this message:

1. What’s the most amazing place you’ve ever got special access to?

2. What is one thing that really stuck out to you in this message?

3. Priests give people access to God. Why do you feel like you need access to God in your life?

4. How does (or could) this invitation to connect with God through Jesus change your life?

If you’ve got questions or want to connect, we’d love to hear from you.

Hospitality and Inclusivity

Series: Who we are

Date preached: 24th November 2024

TIDE Church is a diverse community of people on a mission to follow the teaching and life of Jesus. We are a Christian church based in Adelaide, Australia who are sharing the good news of Jesus with people everywhere. 

Today’s message …

Jesus hung out with a lot of “interesting people”. Not just once or twice, but consistently. In fact, he earned a reputation for hanging out with the “wrong” people. In this message we look at the choices Jesus made to welcome and include people that most people avoided … and most people still avoid today. We look at the choices Jesus made and the things he taught and ask ourselves “what does this mean for the way followers of Jesus live today?”

Questions to reflect on and discuss from this message:

1. What do you think about when you hear the word “hospitality”?

2. What is one thing that really stuck out to you in this message?

3. How does this message make you think about the way you treat people around you (at church, school work … wherever)?

4. What is one PRACTICAL thing you could do THIS WEEK to share hospitality with people around you?

If you’ve got questions or want to connect, we’d love to hear from you.

Today’s message …

Most of the ‘famous names’ and ‘heroes’ in the Bible are men. But not all of them.

Dealing with difficult people

Series: Created for Community

Date preached: 20th October 2024

TIDE Church is a diverse community of people on a mission to follow the teaching and life of Jesus. We are a Christian church based in Adelaide, Australia who are sharing the good news of Jesus with people everywhere. 

Today’s message …

Why do Christian churches get together weekly? Why do Christians eat together and hang out together? In this series we explore the idea of “Christian community”, looking at what it is and why it’s been so important to followers of Jesus for thousands of years. One of teh biggest challenges in any community is dealing with “difficult people” that we find there. Jesus knew this and in this message we hear him talk directly about how to deal with difficult people … and then we think about what that means for us today.

Questions to reflect on and discuss from this message:

1. What’s the first thing you think about when someone says that someone else is “difficult”?

2. What is one thing that really stuck out to you in this message?

3. What’s the hardest part about “doing good” to difficult people?

4. How would your life change if you responded to difficult people like Jesus did … with kindness and love?

If you’ve got questions or want to connect, we’d love to hear from you.
