Wynnum Baptist Church (Official)

Andrew looks at Luke 15 and the kind of joy God has when lost people come home. He pushes us beyond a church that only looks inward, and into a life that notices the one—the person God is already chasing, already working in, already drawing back to himself.

This is a vision message about living outward, joining God’s mission, and planting trees for people whose stories we may never fully see. It’s a call to open our eyes, because the harvest is closer than we think.

Julia, Janis and Kylie share honest stories from Mother’s Day, each pointing to the way God stays present through pain, waiting, uncertainty and change. Drawing from Isaiah 41:8–16, Romans 8:28, Hebrews 12 and Philippians 4:6–7, these messages are a reminder that God is still writing our stories, even when the chapter we’re in feels hard to understand.

It’s a grounded encouragement to keep trusting, keep praying, and keep holding onto God’s peace when life doesn’t look the way we expected.

Andrew unpacks Matthew 28 and what it really means to “make disciples,” pushing back on the pressure to strive and instead pointing to a life of partnering with God. He keeps coming back to that idea of an “easy yoke”—that following Jesus isn’t about doing more, but staying close, listening, and responding as you go. There’s a strong reminder here that this is God’s mission, not ours to carry. He’s already at work drawing people, and we’re invited into it—right in the middle of everyday life. It’s a shift from feeling overwhelmed to simply being faithful with what’s in front of you.

Andrew reflects on Matthew 22:36–40 and what it really means to love God and love others without turning it into striving. He keeps coming back to this idea of the “easy yoke” from Jesus—learning to listen, respond, and let Christ live through us rather than trying to force spiritual growth on our own. There’s a strong challenge here around drifting into comfort and missing the point, especially as the church looks ahead. It’s simple but not shallow: stay close to Jesus, respond to what He’s actually saying, and let that shape how you live, love, and follow Him day to day. If you’re exploring faith or just want to see what church looks like in real life, we’d love to have you connect in.

Graeme shares a moment from John 3:16 that shifted things for him personally—realising God’s love wasn’t just general but directed straight at him. From there, he walks through Mark 14 and the story of the woman with the alabaster jar, showing what it looks like to actually encounter Jesus and not hold anything back.

It’s a pretty direct challenge around surrender, humility, and the difference between giving Jesus a little versus being fully “broken open” before Him. There’s a strong thread of spiritual honesty here—letting what God has put in you actually flow out, instead of keeping it contained.

Dave Luthy unpacks Joshua 10:1–15 and shows how this moment isn’t just a random battle, but part of a much bigger story God has been writing from Abraham through to Jesus. It’s a reminder that God is actively involved, powerful, and working out His purposes even when it’s not obvious.

He zooms in on that bold “sun stand still” prayer and challenges the way we pray—moving beyond safe, small requests to actually trusting God for the impossible. It lands in a really personal way, calling us to pray with real faith and expect God to move, even in situations that seem completely out of reach.

Andrew unpacks John 20 and the resurrection, showing how Jesus steps into a world stuck in cycles of conflict and offers something completely different—real peace. Not the kind enforced by power or control, but a deeper peace (shalom) that restores what’s broken at the core.

He connects it back to the cross and that moment where Jesus said “it is finished,” and then forward to the risen Jesus speaking, “peace be with you.” It’s both a future promise and something we can actually experience now as we trust Him and bring everything to Him.

Andrew reflects on John 18–19 and the lead-up to the cross, showing how Jesus completely redefines power. Instead of force or control, He chooses restraint—laying down His authority to bring real peace in a way the world never could.

It builds to that final moment where Jesus declares “it is finished”—not defeat, but full victory. Sin dealt with, justice satisfied, and everything accomplished through self-giving love, not violence.

Andrew unpacks Revelation 3:14–22 and the letter to Laodicea, digging into what it really means to be “lukewarm.” It’s not just about passion—it’s about a kind of self-sufficient faith that slowly pushes Jesus out without even noticing.

He brings it back to relationship, showing how Jesus is still knocking, wanting access to the parts of our lives we’ve kept closed off. It’s a direct call to stop pretending, deal honestly with what’s going on inside, and hold onto Jesus instead of drifting.

Andrew works through Revelation 3:7–13, looking at the church in Philadelphia and what it means to stay faithful when you feel small, weak, or overlooked. He keeps coming back to this idea—Jesus isn’t impressed by strength or influence, but by steady loyalty that doesn’t drift under pressure.

He also leans into the reality of deception in our time, tackling some of the big questions people are actually asking right now (including the rise of talk around aliens) and grounding it all in Scripture. The call is simple but weighty: stay anchored in Jesus, learn to hear His voice, and don’t give your allegiance to anything else.
