Current sermon series | Behind the Seen

When things in our life go against us, in the midst of dysfunctions, betrayals, temptations or situations beyond our control, it becomes hard to see God at work. But behind what we see, God remains at work for his glory and our good. Come join us as we look ‘behind the seen’ of the story of Joseph and discover that it’s what you can’t see that makes all the difference.

Sharing Jesus doesn't have to be awkward

"Sam Chen helps all of us to not be "that guy" so we can point people to the person of Jesus. Sam has taken a heavy topic and made it into a breezy read that will inform, amuse and inspire." - Abdu Murray⁠

Most Christians know they should be trying to tell their friends and family about Jesus. But in a post-Christendom world, personal evangelism is viewed negatively--it's offensive, inappropriate, and insensitive. Recent studies confirm that the majority of Christians rarely evangelise, worried they might offend their family or lose their friends. In How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being That Guy), author Sam Chan equips everyday Christians who are reluctant and nervous to tell their friends about Jesus with practical, tested ways of sharing their faith in the least awkward ways possible.

Drawing from over two decades of experience as an evangelist, teacher, and pastor, Chan explains why personal evangelism feels so awkward today. And utilising recent insights from communication theory, cross-cultural ministry, and apologetics, he helps you build confidence in sharing your faith, and teaches you how to evangelise your friends and family in socially appropriate ways.

Shaping Mission

The mission of Jesus remains the same, but Australia has changed radically in the past decade. This intensive will help you to develop a better understanding of joining the Spirit in walking with someone on their journey to faith, as well as beginning to shape an effective approach to mission in your congregation and context.

Led by Dr Steen Olsen and Pastor Mat von Stanke, Shaping Mission Today will be delivered via Zoom over 8 weekly sessions. Join us every Thursday evening from 7 August to 25 September, from 7.30-9.30pm AEST.

The cost for the course is $175 for the first person, and $50 for each additional person attending from the same congregation or team of people exploring mission opportunities. When you gather together in one place to participate, you can use discussion times to work together to discern your next steps.

Today's verse & thought to ponder ...

18

AUG

PROVERBS 4:25-27

Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
