Easter 2019 - Restored

Easter Changed Everything. In particular the simple fact that because of the death resurrection of Jesus, we now have a restored relationship with God. Yes, this means that people have to put their faith in Jesus. At Easter 2019, we will see two of the most profound aspects of God working in and through His Son. The reality of His sacrifice and the power of hope. As a result of both we are truly “Restored”.

Grace, Faith and the Power of the Gospel

The Book of Romans is not only the most profound book in the Bible, it is the most profound book in existence. It has been appropriately termed the “Cathedral of the Christian faith.” Many theologians describe it as the most important document ever written. The book of Romans is the most complete explanation of what the gospel is in the entire Bible – it gives, by far, the clearest and fullest exposition of the doctrines of sin and grace.

Title	Preacher	Date	Service	Passage	Listen
The Source of Power	Ian Barnett	03/02/19	10am	Romans 1:1-15
Preacher Ian Barnett Date 03/02/19 Passage Romans 1:1-15 Service 10am Synopsis Ian Barnett opens up the beginning of Romans as we begin our journey into this great book. We see and feel Paul’s passion to visit the Romans was motivated by a deep desire for all people to encounter the gospel. Attachments No attachments Audio

Preacher Ian Barnett Date 10/02/19 Passage Romans 1:16-17 Service 6pm Synopsis As we delved in the short verses of Romans 1:16-17 we are encouraged to not be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is truly the power of our salvation. Attachments No attachments Audio
The Power of Righteousness	Ian Barnett	24/03/19	6pm	Romans 3:21-31

2020 Vision

At the end of 2018, we launched our theme for 2019, which is “Kingdom Seeds” as we continue to ask ourselves the question, “How will God use us to play a role in the building and expansion of His kingdom?”

Stories That Change Everything

Story telling is the oldest of art forms. As far as we can remember people have been telling stories all their lives. Often their own stories. In this short summer series we examine stories of the gospel that changed everything.

Title	Preacher	Date	Service	Passage	Listen
The Shape of Water	Ian Barnett	13/01/19	10am	John 6:16-27
Preacher Ian Barnett Date 13/01/19 Passage John 6:16-27 Service 10am Synopsis After feeding the 5000 Jesus sent the disciples in a boat to cross the Sea of Galilee. A strong wind came upon them. Jesus came to them walking on the water, but they did not know it was Him. Wow, enough said. He did what? They were justifiably scared to see someone walking on the surface of the sea. Jesus spoke to them and they immediately knew His voice. They welcomed Him into the ship. Are we still amazed what Jesus did and are we still searching for him? Attachments No attachments Audio

Kingdom Seeds

All Services • November 2018

This 7-week series will seek to bring ongoing clarity to our 2020 Vision as we explore what it means to have a growing confidence that Jesus will build His church. As we head into 2019, our focus for the coming year will be on Kingdom Seeds. It has become increasingly important we accept our part in God’s plan and plant seeds for future generations.

For the Kingdom of God to grow in the Illawarra and beyond, seeds need to be sown and planted now. In doing this we will discover whether we believe that the Kingdom of heaven is truly our treasure.

This Is Us

Title	Preacher	Date	Service	Passage	Listen
You Don't Know What You've Got Until...	Ian Barnett	06/05/18	10am	Ephesians 4:1-6
Preacher Ian Barnett Date 06/05/18 Passage Ephesians 4:1-6 Service 10am Synopsis As men and women, our Christianity is God directed, Christ defined and others oriented. Christians are to extend to each other, love, service, humility, patience, gentleness and much much more. Above all else, we are called “to live a life worthy of our calling” Attachments No attachments Audio
Stand By Me	Ian Barnett	13/05/18	10am	Psalm 139:1-18
Preacher Ian Barnett Date 13/05/18 Passage Psalm 139:1-18 Service 10am Synopsis Kelly Ballarie captures many of the thoughts from our women when she says, “May I admit something to you all? When I am at my worst, I doubt who I am. I doubt I am good. I doubt I am valuable. Some days, I know, I don't look an iota like Jesus. I look in the mirror, but his image I do not see. Instead, I see the image of a woman who is flawed, faulted and failing. I can be hard on myself.” This comment captures the thoughts of many of our women, who want their men to stand by them for better or worse. Attachments No attachments Audio
Sorry	Ian Barnett	03/06/18	10am	Psalm 51
Preacher Ian Barnett Date 03/06/18 Passage Psalm 51 Service 10am Synopsis This message captures many of the thoughts and feelings that have been expressed, especially by men. Psalm 51 is a standout word, which speaks of confession and repentance from personal sin. What David is seeking, and I sense that many men are seeking, is to ask God to “blot out”, “wash away” and be “cleansed” (vs1-2). What David does is provide a list of wrongs that is meant to be comprehensive. His confession was far-reaching and complete. What God is seeking from all of us is transparency in our lives. Women are also asking this from their men. Attachments No attachments Audio
Homeward Bound	Ian Barnett	24/06/18	10am	Psalm 127
Preacher Ian Barnett Date 24/06/18 Passage Psalm 127 Service 10am Synopsis There is a simple truth to the fact that so much of what goes on in our relational world happens in the home. Sometimes I am left wondering, “what are the homes we are actually building?” I also wonder if, at the end of the day, men and women get excited about being “homeward bound”. Is it possible, that over time we could grow weary of the simple pleasures that our homes bring, let alone the people who occupy them? Psalm 127 is well known and highlights that life itself is pointless unless the Lord is the builder. In the psalm, the psalmist declares the anxiety of life without God.

Lead Me, Guide Me	Ian Barnett	01/07/18	10am	Philippians 2:1-11
Preacher Ian Barnett Date 01/07/18 Passage Philippians 2:1-11 Service 10am Synopsis Many Christian men want to lead their wives spiritually; Many Christian women want to be led spiritually by their husbands, however, it seems both are not sure what this looks like. Often times, what can result is a chaotic mess of unmet expectations. Attachments No attachments Audio
