Most people agree that we should grow.

Become better.

Leave behind what is ugly and embrace what is good.

The harder question is: How?

Is change simply a matter of trying harder? Or is there something we're missing?

Join us this Sunday as we look for answers in our series on Colossians, The All-Sufficient Christ: Why Jesus Is All You Need.

📚 Children's Resource Recommendation

As part of Sunday's message from Colossians 2, I See Jesus by Nancy Guthrie was recommended as a helpful resource for families. Written for children aged 3–7, this beautifully illustrated book traces God's plan of salvation through the Bible, helping young readers see how the people, events, and promises of the Old Testament point to Jesus.

If you're looking for a Christ-centred book to read with your children or grandchildren, this is an excellent place to start.

Series | The All-Sufficient Christ | Freedom in Christ.
5/8.

More and more Australians are drawn to ancient rituals, deeper spiritual experiences, and self-help discipline. Why is that? The ancient church in Colossae faced similar realities. In fact, some in the church claimed there was a “higher” spirituality beyond simple faith in Christ — a deeper fullness found through religious shadows, mystical experiences, and harsh discipline. But Paul confronts those claims head on in Colossians 2:16–23. Join us this Sunday as we continue our series on the letter of Colossians: “The All-Sufficient Christ: Why Jesus Is All You Need.”

Service led by Ben Fien through Colossians 2:16-23.

TRINITY SUNDAY

Tomorrow Christians around the world will celebrate Trinity Sunday — a day set aside to worship the one true God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Take a moment with us to reflect on the teaching of the Trinity.

For almost 1,700 years, Christians have confessed the truths of the Nicene Creed. It is one of the most important summaries of historic Christian belief ever written.

The creed was forged during a time of intense debate about who Jesus is and what Christians believe about God. It carefully and beautifully affirms:
• There is one God.
• The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each fully divine.
• Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man.
• Salvation is found through Him alone.

The Nicene Creed is not Scripture, but it is a faithful summary of what Christians have historically believed the Bible teaches.

Slow down as you read it.
Meditate on it.
Pray through it.
And let it deepen your worship of the Triune God.

––––––––––––––––––
📜THE NICENE CREED

We believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all ages,
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made;
of the same essence as the Father.
Through Him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
He came down from heaven;
He became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,
and was made human.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
He suffered and was buried.
The third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again with glory
to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will never end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life.
He proceeds from the Father and the Son,
and with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified.
He spoke through the prophets.
We believe in one holy universal and apostolic church.
We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
and to life in the world to come.

Amen.

📖 THE ALL-SUFFICIENT CHRIST: WHY JESUS IS ALL YOU NEED

Why are so many people searching for something “deeper”? ✨

Ancient rituals. Mystical spirituality. Strict self-discipline. A sense of transcendence, rootedness, and transformation.

The ancient church in Colossae wrestled with the same things. Some claimed there was a “higher” spirituality beyond simple faith in Christ — a deeper fullness found through religious shadows, spiritual experiences, and harsh discipline.

But in Colossians 2, the Apostle Paul confronts those claims head on and points us back to the all-sufficiency of Jesus.

⛪ Join us this Sunday at 9AM as we continue through Paul’s letter to the Colossians.

Everyone seems to be searching for “something more” — deeper spirituality, fuller meaning, a better version of themselves.

But what if the endless search is actually leaving us emptier?

This Sunday we continue our series through Colossians with Part 4: 'Fullness in Christ'.

Come and explore why Paul gives such a strong warning about spiritual counterfeits — and why his words still hit close to home today.

Series | The All-Sufficient Christ: The Mystery of Christ.
3/8.

Everyone seems to be searching for the missing piece... the secret to a fuller life, deeper spirituality, or real hope. In Paul’s day, false teachers promised the Colossians a kind of “secret recipe” for spiritual fullness beyond Jesus.
But in Colossians 1:24–2:5, Paul speaks repeatedly about a “mystery” that has now been revealed, a mystery so rich and glorious that he was willing to suffer for it, struggle for it, and stake his whole life upon it.
What is this mystery? And why does Paul believe it changes everything?
Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in Colossians: The All-Sufficient Christ: Why Jesus is All You Need.

How do you grow as a Christian?
By adding more… or by going deeper?

Colossians 1:1–14 gives a surprising answer.
The gospel isn’t just where you start, it’s how you grow.

📖 We’re starting a new series this Sunday:

'The All-Sufficient Christ: Why Jesus is All You Need' (Colossians)
The letter of Colossians gives us one of the most glorious, towering, exalted pictures of Jesus in the entire Bible.
It helps us see the bigness of Christ— so clearly, that it couldn’t be more obvious what the Christian life… and what the church… should be all about.

Jesus is not just the beginning… He is the centre, the substance, the whole story.

And that’s exactly what the Colossians needed to hear.
Because the pressure they faced wasn’t from the world…
but from within the church.

Some were saying:
“You’ve got Jesus—but if you really want fullness, you need more.”

And Paul writes to show them:
In Christ, you already have everything.

Join us this Sunday as we launch our new 8-week series together.
