We have one weekly service at 9am on Sunday mornings and Bible Study groups on Tuesdays.

/// CHRIST OVER ALL ///

Next week, we begin a series in the New Testament letter Paul wrote to the church in Colossae.

Colossians is a brief epistle centred on the theme that Christ is the supreme Lord over all creation, encompassing both the visible and invisible spiritual realms. As King and Lord, he has achieved the redemption of his followers, enabling them to unite with him in his death, resurrection, and coming glory.

Therefore, Paul encourages both his original audience and us to live in a way that reflects the reality brought about by Christ’s blood. This message is echoed in the book of Philemon, written to the man whose house the Colossian Church gathered in. In the letter, Paul urges Philemon, motivated by the gospel, to welcome back his runaway slave, Onesimus.

It’s a book that urges us, as God’s people, saved by Grace in Jesus, to live transformed lives. If you’d like to join us, you’d be more than welcome!

Each week, as we gather as God’s people, we publicly affirm what we believe about certain truths regarding God: His nature, His actions, His community, and His interactions with this world.

As an Anglican Church, we are part of a denomination that affirms we hold to three ‘creeds’, three summary statements about what we believe about God. These are the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed.

Each of these three creeds emerged in response to certain questions – about the nature of God and the nature of the Trinity. The earliest was the Apostles’ Creed. It’s a summary of the Apostles’ teaching, originally created for baptisms, to clarify what “faith” individuals were being baptised into.

Starting next Sunday, for 6 weeks, we’ll be digging into the Apostles' Creed in our sermons at church, how it articulates a Biblically rich Christian faith that saves.

How do you go with listening to God?

This week we’re jumping into Jeremiah 25 to see that God’s prophet is a different man.

No more cursing his own birth or wishing his mum had remained pregnant forever. Instead, we see a steely resolve and a relentless insistence that both God’s people and all the nations need to listen to God.

As the story continues to unfold, God’s people didn’t listen, which we see was really dumb. But it forces us to understand that our issue is largely the same.

Every day of the Christian life, we need to get ourselves into the practice of shutting up and listening to God in His word, and then we need to proclaim it to everyone we know.

Last week we saw Jeremiah’s dramatic and unique start to his ministry. If that was encouraging, there is only one way to describe what follows: intensity.

When you open Jeremiah 2 to 20, some of it’s serious, some is blasphemous, some is heartbreaking, and some is a bit funny. These chapters culminate in the miserable conclusion we’ll look at tomorrow in chapter 20.

But even then, this week we are going to learn two important things as Jeremiah walks us through his spiritual autobiography to show us that:
•⁠ ⁠Speaking the truth is costly, but it’s the life we are called to by Jesus, and
•⁠ ⁠there is immense comfort to be found in speaking the truth to God.

In all of this, we are going to see what a life as one of God’s people should be marked by, which is deeply uncomfortable, yet immensely comforting at the same time.

Imagine you’re just a teenager from a back-alley town that very few people have ever heard of, a place people ignored because of its association with something shameful that had happened long ago.

Imagine being that teenager and then being commissioned out of the blue by God for a ministry that will see you proclaim judgment to the nation of Judah, and then to the whole world, a ministry that will see you hated and despised, resulting in attempts being made on your life?

Imagine being reassured that God will give you everything you need to speak God’s word into the lives of people who prefer lying prophets to the truth of God’s word?

Now that you have that in your head, welcome to Jeremiah 1, where we see all these things unfold as God’s prophet recalls his commissioning by God, while also giving us a glimpse into “What God gives to and expects from His people”.

This week, we’re kicking off a 6-week series with the Old Testament Prophet, Jeremiah.

Often seen quoted, usually out of context, on inspirational Christian fridge magnets, this book has so much more to teach us than many realise.

This is because this wonderful book documents the reflections and ministry of one remarkable individual who served at a time when life for God’s faithful people was really tough. This means it’s really helpful for people living in a world that seems increasingly determined to run away from God.

Jeremiah will teach us many things, but throughout we will see our God working to fulfil his promises, both the good and the more difficult ones, because his promises are unbreakable.

This week we’re looking at chapter one, which you can read here 👉🏻 https://www.esv.org/Jeremiah+1/

Are you a planner? Love to organise things? If you are, then there is almost nothing worse than a disorganised person… someone who has no idea what they’re doing.

Taking responsibility for your life is a good and biblical principle, but this week, as we’re in our last week in James, we’re going to be reminded that this can quickly lead to self-sufficiency, which overlooks the fact that God is ultimately in control.

As we finish this book, James will tell us that in all seasons we need to place our hopes, our faith, and our dependence on God, not on ourselves. This is because, while we have all sorts of limitations, He is completely dependable and will always work for our good, even if that simply means providing a way for us to reach His perfect heaven.

One of the wonderful things about the Bible is how it uses the most unlikely and often ignored people in society (usually women and children) to show us what is real and true in this life and the next.

God often shows us through these people that His kingdom is very different from the power-hungry kingdoms of this world, because it is an upside-down kingdom, one where the proud are humbled, and the humble are raised up.

This week, we’re moving along in James, and he’s going to speak to us about how we are to live as God’s upside-down people in light of His coming upside-down kingdom.

So far in James, we have learned a number of important things.

In chapter one, we were encouraged to have a genuine faith in Jesus, which shows itself in how we trust and how we live. In the last two weeks, as we’ve looked at James 2, we have seen him flesh this out in two specific areas.

Firstly, because the Church is God’s treasured possession, we must never do anything that will harm it. Instead, we will do everything we can to care for God’s people.

Secondly, just as God’s word is living and active, our faith should be alive, motivating us to work for the good of others.

This Sunday, we turn to chapter 3, and James brings these two topics together to tell us that we need to be very careful with how we speak, because our words have a great capacity to cause damage.

Have you ever said something that you regretted later? If the answer is not “YES”, then I am very sorry, but you're lying! So, this week we’re going to hear James speak to us so we can be wise when we open our mouths, in order that we are people who build others up with the words we speak.

In Armidale airport, there’s a copy of the front page of the local paper from Wednesday, April 29, 1970, hung on the wall. This edition of the paper was celebrating Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s visit to town the day before.

What caught my eye, though, was a 69-word article (also on the front page) complaining that while it appeared to the royals that Armidale was a beautiful town, all the organisers had done was hide anything unsightly from the Royals’ view!

This week at church, we’re in the second half of James 2, and I reckon our lives can be a bit like Armidale in April 1970. We have a habit of presenting a clean, washed version of ourselves to others, hoping it will earn esteem among our neighbours. Appearance and reality can look entirely different.

But this week, James, as God’s word, is going to tell us that when it comes to saving faith, appearances alone are worthless. He even says that knowledge of God that doesn’t recognise and submit to God as King is the “faith” of demons!

In the face of this, James will encourage us to have a faith that saves, which means recognising that God is the King and that all of life should flow from the abundant grace he has shown us.
