Newlife Church: Coomera

This week on the Newlife Coomera Podcast, Ps David Schembri continues our journey through 1 Corinthians, teaching from chapter 6 and the beginning of chapter 7.In “Your Body Is Not Your Own,” David explores Paul’s teaching on how belonging to Christ transforms the way we understand our bodies, relationships and sexuality. We have been bought at a price, and therefore our whole lives—including our bodies—belong to Jesus.Join us for this challenging and deeply practical message as we discover what it means to honour God with our whole lives and live fully surrendered to Jesus.1 Corinthians 6–7 | Ps David Schembri

1 Corinthians 5:1–13 | Ps Megan JungThis week on the Newlife Coomera Podcast, Ps Megan Jung from Newlife Robina teaches from 1 Corinthians 5:1–13.Paul challenges the church to take sin seriously—not from judgement, but from genuine love. Megan explores three truths from the passage: tolerance isn’t love, sin spreads and silence is dangerous, and real love speaks the truth.We are called to be a community shaped by both grace and truth, lovingly pointing one another back to Jesus as we become more people, more like Jesus.

1 Corinthians 3:1–23 || Bek StevensThis week on the Newlife Coomera Podcast, Bek Stevens continues our journey through 1 Corinthians, teaching from 1 Corinthians 3:1–23.Paul challenges the Corinthian church to grow into spiritual maturity, confronting the jealousy, pride, and division that had taken root among them. He reminds us that while different people may plant and water, it is God who gives the growth.Bek unpacks what it means to build our lives and our church on the only true foundation—Jesus Christ. Rather than finding our identity in leaders, ministries, achievements, or ourselves, we are called to remember that we belong to Christ and that together we are God’s temple, with His Spirit dwelling among us.

Sitting at the Feet of Jesus | Luke 10:38–42 | Rev. Ralph MayhewThis week on the Newlife Coomera Podcast, we are joined by guest minister Rev. Ralph Mayhew, preaching from Luke 10:38–42 and the story of Mary and Martha.In the busyness and demands of life, it can be easy to become distracted by everything that needs to be done—even good things. Yet Jesus invites us into something deeper: to slow down, sit at His feet, and be present with Him.Through this message, Ralph encourages us to consider what has captured our attention and reminds us that before our activity for Jesus comes our relationship with Jesus. Like Mary, may we learn to choose what is better—to sit at the feet of Jesus, listen to His voice, and make His presence our priority.

Christ Alone | 1 Corinthians 1:10–17 | Bek StevensThis week on the Newlife Podcast, Bek Stevens continues our 1 Corinthians series by unpacking 1 Corinthians 1:10–17.Paul confronts the divisions that had begun to form within the church as people aligned themselves with different leaders rather than with Christ. His call is clear: our faith is in Christ alone. We are not called to use Jesus' name to elevate ourselves, our preferences, or our allegiances above others. Instead, we are united by the gospel and find our identity together in Him.Bek also explores how subtly pride can creep into our hearts. We can begin to elevate ourselves above our brothers and sisters in Christ, believing our convictions, ministries, leaders, or preferences make us superior. At the same time, we often idolise things that are inherently good—leaders, traditions, theology, spiritual gifts, or ministries—and allow them to take the place that belongs to Christ alone. When good things become ultimate things, pride grows, unity is fractured, and division follows.Join us as we discover the freedom of fixing our eyes on Jesus, cultivating humility, and becoming a church united by the cross rather than divided by our idols.
