Series: Burn Your Boats - The Book of ActsDate: 19 October 2025Preacher: Rev Dave Miers--What difference does the gospel actually make? In Acts 19, Paul's ministry in Ephesus reveals how the good news of Jesus transforms individuals and disrupts entire societies. When hearts are captured by Christ's beauty, idols lose their power—personally and publicly. The word of the Lord continues to increase and prevail mightily.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co
Series: Burn Your Boats - The Book of ActsDate: 12 October 2025Preacher: Rev Dave Miers--How do you keep going when you're afraid, tired, and opposition is real? Paul arrived in Corinth exhausted and discouraged. But God sustained him through community, redirected opportunities, and a powerful promise: "I have many people in this city." Discover how God rejuvenates weary servants in Acts 18.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co
Series: Burn Your Boats - The Book of ActsDate: 5 October 2025Preacher: Rev Dave Miers--In Athens, Paul saw idols everywhere, but instead of walking away, he was moved with compassion and boldly proclaimed Jesus as the true and living God. Some mocked, others believed, but the gospel kept turning lives upside down. This message invites us to see Brisbane through the same eyes: to feel what Paul felt, do what Paul did, and trust what God still does — saving people through the risen Christ.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co
Series: Burn Your Boats - The Book of ActsDate: 14 September 2025Preacher: Rev Dave Miers--In Paul’s first recorded sermon, we hear the sweeping story of God’s grace fulfilled in Jesus — the promised Saviour, crucified and raised. Through him comes true freedom: freedom from sin, from shame, and from the impossible burden of trying to save ourselves. Some believe. Some reject. But the mission rolls on. And the invitation still stands — to step into the story, to receive forgiveness, and to live in the freedom only Jesus can give.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co
Series: Burn Your Boats - The Book of ActsDate: 7 September 2025Preacher: Rev Dave Miers--When opposition comes, where will you turn? In Acts 12, a king of this world flexes—James is executed, Peter is jailed, and Herod basks in applause. But the church answers with its true weapon: earnest prayer. Walk through the chapter’s three acts—Martyred, Miracle, Multiplied—and watch the great reversal: the chapter opens with James dead, Peter imprisoned, and Herod triumphant; it closes with Herod dead, Peter free, and “the word of God increased and multiplied.” This message presses the Burn Your Boats call to go all-in with Jesus: trust the risen King, endure opposition, and pray like it matters.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co
Series: Burn Your Boats - The Book of ActsDate: 31 August 2025Preacher: Rev Dave Miers--Acts 9:32–11:30 marks a decisive breakthrough in the story of Acts. Jesus is alive and at work through miracles of healing and resurrection. His call to repentance extends beyond Israel, demonstrating that even Gentiles are welcomed by grace. The church is stretched to break old boundaries and embrace those once considered outsiders. This is the Acts 1:8 trajectory unfolding — from Jerusalem, to Judea and Samaria, and now a key moment as the gospel begins reaching the ends of the earth.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co
Series: Burn Your Boats - The Book of ActsDate: 24 August 2025Preacher: Rev Dave Miers--“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.” These words stopped Saul in his tracks on the Damascus Road and turned the church’s fiercest enemy into Christ’s boldest witness. In this sermon, we trace Saul’s story — his rage, his rescue, his reception, and his new role — and see that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co
Series: Burn Your Boats - The Book of ActsDate: 17 August 2025Preacher: Rev Tim Baxter--What does a full and healthy church look like? In Acts 6–8, we see the gospel multiplying, Spirit-filled leaders raised up, and even persecution used by God to spread the good news further. From Stephen’s faithful witness to the joy in Samaria, this passage shows us that nothing can stop Jesus building his church.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co
Series: Burn Your Boats - The Book of ActsDate: 10 August 2025Preacher: Rev Dave Miers--Acts 3–5 shows the unstoppable power of the gospel and the centrality of Jesus’ name. Through miraculous healing, bold preaching, and a transformed community, the early church grew in faith and number—despite fierce opposition. This message calls us to the same conviction and courage: to proclaim that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, to be united and transformed by Jesus, and to count it an honour to suffer for His name.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co
Series: Burn Your Boats - The Book of ActsDate: 3 August 2025Preacher: Rev Dave Miers--In Acts 2, the day of Pentecost explodes into history as God keeps His promise to pour out His Spirit on all believers. This marks the beginning of the last days, the empowering of God’s people for global mission, and the birth of the church. But at its heart, Pentecost is not about wind, fire, or languages—it’s about Jesus: His life, death, resurrection, and lordship. The risen King now calls all people everywhere to call upon His name and be saved.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co

It highlights their unity in prayer and confidence in God’s promises, drawing a line from their preparation for mission to how we approach ours today. At the heart of it all is the resurrection of Jesus, the foundation of our faith, and the powerful role of eyewitness testimony in proclaiming its truth.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co
Series: Burn Your Boats - The Book of ActsDate: 20 July 2025Preacher: Rev Dave Miers--This sermon explores the beginning of the book of Acts, emphasising the continuity between Jesus' earthly ministry and His ongoing work through the Holy Spirit and His disciples. It challenges believers to fully commit to Christ's mission, likening it to "burning one's boats" to eliminate the possibility of retreat. The sermon highlights the importance of eyewitness testimony in establishing the truth of the Gospel and outlines God's plan for spreading the Good News from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co

Series: Out of the DustDate: 15 June 2025Preacher: Rev Dave Miers--Can we build heaven on earth without God? In Genesis 11:1–9, humanity unites to reach for greatness apart from their Creator.

It all points forward to Pentecost, where God comes down again, not to scatter, but to gather a people for Himself.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: www.christrefuge.coEmail hello@christrefuge.co

Series: Out of the DustDate: 25 May 2025Preacher: Zach Conway--This sermon explores the tragic entry of sin into the world through the fall of Adam and Eve—and how that moment continues to shape our lives today.
