The Big Beyond Church 40th Birthday Party May 24

Beyond Church was planted in 1986 and is turning 40 this year, so we’ve planned a big birthday party this Sunday and we would love to see the whole family come together to celebrate! We are especially excited to be welcoming Pastor Mark Zschech as our guest speaker for this event. Pastor Mark is the State President of our ACC movement in NSW, as well as sitting on our National Executive.

We will be sharing a feast lunch after our 10am service, and there will be birthday cake! Make sure you plan to be with us for this significant milestone as we come together to praise the Lord for providing for us and sustaining us for the past forty years, and reflect on all he is still doing in and through us as a church community here in Cessnock.

Have you heard the big news? The Federal Budget has been released! Interest rates are UP! Our nation’s political landscape is in upheaval! And global conflicts are having a real impact on life here in the beautiful Hunter Valley! What a time to be alive!

But guess what? Turbulent times are not new… every generation has to face its own seasons of uncertainty.
In the middle of all of this, there are still jobs to attend to, or work to find. Many are studying for their futures, raising families… the challenge is real!

But here is some good news today, God is not taken by surprise by the federal budget, interest rate rises, or your personal challenges, whatever they may be.

Proverbs 15:24 NKJV�“The way of life winds upward for the wise, that he may turn away from hell below.” �
This verse doesn’t say the way of life is straightforward, predictable, or easy. It says it is winding — full of twists and turns! But it also says that God has stepped into your future, carving out a path and a plan for your life that is heading in the right direction, toward the good things He has in store for you.
Yes, it may require holding on from time to time, making adjustments, taking a corner, taking a step up. But here is the encouragement for this week…�
You are heading in the right direction. If you have decided to commit your ways to God, you can be sure that — despite the turbulence — you are on the right track!
Come and be with us in church this Sunday, so we can continue to encourage one another to stay the course, remain faithful, and be a model of strength and stability even in seasons of uncertainty.

Mother’s Day is this coming Sunday May 10, and we would love to invite you to gather with our church family for our service from 10am.

We will be singing a new song together in worship, hearing a message from the Psalms all about family, and sharing a special morning tea together (and some special new drinks options at our church cafe available for FREE on this special Sunday).

Most importantly, we will have our annual photo wall for family photos, so everyone dress up for Mum and come to church to take a family photo together to bless her.

Australia is still one of the wealthiest nations on earth… and yet something isn’t adding up.

Over 60% of households say they’re only just getting by.
1 in 3 families with kids have skipped meals due to financial pressure.
More than 7 million Aussies are using Buy Now, Pay Later.
Nearly 40% couldn’t cover a $1,000 emergency without borrowing.
And money remains the #1 source of marital conflict.

There is a better way.

Tomorrow we launch our brand-new series “Praise in Provision.”

We don’t have to mirror the culture around us.

We can model a better way.

We cant wait to gather, worship, and begin this new series!

See you in church.

We would love for you to join us this Sunday for our Worship, Communion & Prayer Service!

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.”
— Psalm 100:4-5 NLT

This Sunday we’re slowing down, drawing near to God, and sharing communion together — cannot wait. 🙏

Oh, and stick around to the end of the service... we have a little surprise for you! 👀

See you Sunday!
