Did you know? Because the world is not autism-friendly, 70% of Autistic people in Australia experience mental health challenges. That's why I'm walking 7k steps a day in May. Please help build positive change and support my Walk for Autism. Your donation will help create a more autism-friendly world...

This Sunday
In this service, we hear Jesus’ words from the Sermon on the Mount — the Beatitudes — often translated as “Blessed are…”

10am - 20 Williamson Ave Strathmore
staidans.org.au/live

But what if blessed doesn’t mean happy, successful, or approved?

In this sermon, we explore the deeper meaning of Jesus’ words as a declaration of belonging.
Not a reward for the worthy, but a naming of those who already belong.

Jesus speaks to the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, the overlooked, the exhausted — and says, you are not outside.

This service is for anyone who has ever felt excluded, not enough, or too much.
For those who carry doubt, grief, difference, or weariness into faith.

You are not asked to qualify.
You are not required to perform.
You are included.

In Luke 4, Jesus reads from Isaiah — then stops mid-sentence. He chooses words that bring life and refuses to speak words of vengeance. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus models reading Scripture with discernment, care, and responsibility.

Jesus does not begin with power or performance.
He begins by stepping into the same water as everyone else.

This Sunday’s reflection explores the baptism of Jesus as a moment of revelation, not reward — where belovedness is named before achievement, and holiness is found in solidarity rather than separation.

Jesus does not begin on a throne, in the Temple, or with a display of power. He begins by stepping into the same water as everyone else. In Matthew’s account of Jesus’ baptism, belonging comes before achievement and identity before action. This reflection explores baptism not as a gateway to gra...
