“Confess”... “Repent”... I wonder what image comes to mind when you hear those two words? When God calls us to “Confess” and “Repent”, He is inviting us to experience freedom from guilt, shame and fear. Today is the fifth week of the “Knowing Rediscovered” series of sermons, where Pastor Michael will explore what Jesus meant when He invites us to “confess” and “repent”. Join us this Sunday at either 8:45am or 10:30am to hear more!

While you are out and about...
This month our Bridge Builder's Team will be collecting donations to support Para Vista Primary School's families who are struggling. Our donations enable the school to provide extra food hampers that will bless these families during the upcoming school holidays.
The collection will be on Sunday September 20th to allow time for the hampers to be assembled before the holidays. Thank you for your consideration!

“I forgive you.” What do you mean when you say those words to someone, and what does it mean when someone says those words to you? And what are the implications for you and the other person when “forgiveness” has been declared? Today is the fourth week of the “Knowing Rediscovered” series of sermons, where Pastor Michael will explore what Jesus taught and demonstrated “forgiveness”.

“Gideon, you are a mighty warrior”. “Simon, you are Peter - solid as a rock”. When an angel addressed Gideon as a mighty warrior, and Jesus addressed Simon as the rock on which He would build His church, God was revealing their “true identity” in contrast to the “false identities” they believed about themselves. Sunday’s message is the third of the “Knowing Rediscovered” series of sermons, where Pastor Michael will explore what it means to know and live under “false identities” in contrast to knowing and living under our “true identity”. See you on Sunday!
