Suffering Love
11:00am, Sunday, August 31, 2014
by Andrew Brook
Passage: Matthew 16:21-28
Series: Bach Cantatas
Duration: 12 mins 46 secs
The Cross has become something of a fashion statement, an item of jewellery. And the world generally thinks of 'love' and something soft and romatic. But the Cross is a symbol of discipleship, of following Jesus. And we who follow are called to show the same kind of self-giving, suffering love that he demonstrated in dying for us. [ Organ/Choir - Pentecost 12 - Bach Cantata BWV 22 "Jesus nahm zu sich die Zwölfe" (Jesus took under Him the twelve)]

Living Sacrifice

by Aldi Elberts
Passage: Romans 12:1-2
Duration: 23 mins 56 secs
What does it mean to be a living sacrifice to God? First we recognize God's mercy, and the redeeming work of Christ. Next, we totally surrender ourselves to God, following his will in place of our own. Third, we are transformed: instead of being forced into the patterns of this world, we are moulded by God through relationship with him. [ Organ/Choir - Pentecost 11 ]

Growing Mission

Passage: Matthew 15:21-28
Duration: 20 mins 57 secs
Australia now is a multi-cultural nation. In that way, it's similar to the environment where Christ first announced the Good News. In today's Gospel, we have the good news shared with an outsider, a foreigner, and a woman (all categories that good Jewish men then shunned). We are the people of God, called to live and serve as he did -- without barriers. [ Instrumental - Pentecost 10 - Baptism of Willow M ]

Sustaining Faith
11:00am, Sunday, August 10, 2014
by Andrew Brook
Passage: Matthew 14:22-33
Duration: 18 mins 58 secs
The dramatic scenes of the night-time storm on the Sea of Gallilee, when Jesus walked across the waves to the boat holding the astonished disciples, speak strongly into the storms in our own lives. Peter tried walking on the water to meer Jesus; but when his faith faltered, he sank, and it was Jesus who grabbed him and lifted him to safety. Jesus rescues our little faith, takes our hand, does not let go, and saves us. Trust him. [ Organ/Choir - Pentecost 9 ]

Buried Treasure
9:00am, Sunday, August 3, 2014
by Aldi Elberts
Passage: Matthew 14:13-21
Duration: 18 mins 18 secs
God has treasure waiting for each of us, treasure we need to uncover. To find it we need three things: a map that marks the spot (where the spot is compassion); motivation, which is our personal responsibility; and we need God's miracles, blessing what we give and multiplying it to bring blessing to others. [ Organ/Choir - Pentecost 8 ]
