Have you ever changed the way you look at someone or something because of an event or interaction with someone?    Well this week is Transfiguration Sunday, we see that the disciples understanding of God begins to change as a result of seeing only Jesus, and seeing him in a different way.  We are exploring how God helps us see him differently when we focus on Jesus, based on our readings from Mark 9:1-9 and 2 Corinthians 4:3-6.    Support the show
This week we focus on being thankful in all circumstances, based on the reading from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.   We are exploring how thankfulness is important in having a healthy earthly and spiritual life.  Support the show
Mention the word authority to people, and you get different reactions.  Some like to be clear of who has authority, others associate it with power (and some even the misuse of power) and most of the responses people have to the word authority is are rules and law.   However this week's focus from Mark 1:21-28 highlights that the authority Jesus has is not based on rules or law but something else, which we will be exploring in our worship this week.    Support the show
From time to time God has an impact us that alters how they see God and how we relate to others.  This week we see one of those impacts as we look at the Conversion of Paul, previous known as Saul, and how God's interaction with him moved him from focussing on God's law as the most important thing to focussing on God grace for all people as what is important.   Come and discover what this story means for us today based on Acts 9:1-22.   Support the show

Content makes the poor rich; discontent makes rich poor, is a famous quote that rings true in many situations...people who are content enjoy life, see the blessings and not only have joy for themself, but also share it with others/  This week in our service we will explore what it means to be content with God and all that He has given us, based on Galatians 4:4-7.     Todays sermon was preached by NSW Bishop Rob Bartholomaeus. Support the show
Gifts are an important aspect of Christmas.   And it is important for us to remember that Jesus is the most important (and most expensive) gift of Christmas.  As our readings remind us this Christmas, God becomes human to be with us and to do whatever it takes for us to be able to grab hold of His love.  (see John 1:1-14)  And what is great about Jesus is that He is a gift that keeps on giving in many different ways.  Support the show
