πŸŽ‰ This Sunday we reach the grand finale of 'The All-Sufficient Christ: Why Jesus is All You Need' β€” our 8-week journey through Colossians.

What could possibly unite people from different cultures, backgrounds, social classes, and personalities into one loving family?

As we come to the closing verses of Colossians, we encounter real people, real struggles, and real gospel partnership despite serious differences. In a divided world, we'll discover what binds God's people together and enables them to labour side-by-side for something far greater than themselves.

β›ͺ Join us this Sunday at 9am as we conclude this rich and challenging letter and see what true gospel partnership looks like.

Series | The All-Sufficient Christ | Relationships in Christ.
7/8.

There's a temptation to treat faith as something purely "spiritual," kept safely separate from the messiness of everyday life. But what does Jesus' lordship actually look like at the dinner table? In a marriage? In the way we talk to our neighbours? This week in The All-Sufficient Christ series, Paul shows us that setting our minds on Christ transforms every relationship we have, whether at home, in prayer, or out in the world. Join us this Sunday at 9am!

Service led by Ben Fien through Colossians 3:18–4:6.

✨ OH Kids is here! ✨

Last Sunday marked the very first day of OpenHouse Kids, and what a joy it was to welcome our children to learn the Bible and encounter the love of Jesus. πŸ™Œ

We are grateful to God for all the wonderful people who have donated furniture, prayed and served to make this happen. Thank you church!

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." β€” Matthew 19:14

May God use OH Kids to shape young hearts in faith, hope and love in years to come πŸ™

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.

πŸ“š 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 β€œhigher” spirituality beyond simple faith in Christ β€” 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: β€œThe 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 β€” 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:
β€’ There is one God.
β€’ The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each fully divine.
β€’ Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man.
β€’ 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.

––––––––––––––––––
πŸ“œTHE 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.
