Ps Joey begins with reading from Thessalonoians. She tells us that science has shown that gratitude can bring good things. She describes these. She provides four points on how we can express our gratitude in practice to bring blessings to God and to others. And ourselves! God is good.
Following on from last week, Ps Adam reminds us that we are in a spiritual battle. To attain peace, we need to wage war in the spiritual dimension. How do we do that? What are we up against? Ps Adam doesn't miss a beat as he leads us through the scriptures for the answers.
Ps Mike is our guest speaker from Citipointe Church in Brisbane. Using the story of Joseph he describes how Joseph went through many trials and survived them all. And we can, too. Ps Mike passionately describes the many aspects of God that we need to know about Him and that they are Uncontained. For us!
Ps Adam relates a real-life, personal example of a family war and a peacemaker. It sets the stage for examining the complexities of war and peace. He gives biblical examples of peacemakers over the years. He also examines how we can be a peacemaker, but there is a right way and a wrong way to do that. He gives practical examples.
Ps John opens with the story of Abraham and God when they formed a blood covenant together. How well do we know God? What's a covenant? Why was the covenant later changed to a New Covenant? All of these are foundational questions for all Christians. Ps John elaborates on them all to increase our understanding but also explains how critical they are to our lives.
Jono describes one of his old friends who used to tell the wildest and most unbelievable stories, presenting them as true. In exasperation, Jono would respond, "If you say so." The Bible shows us that Jesus did that! He asked various people to do ridiculous, crazy things, but they had faith in Him, and they came out well. Jono takes several interesting stories from both the OT and NT to show that we can trust Him like that. If You say so, Lord.
Today, we celebrated our annual Love and Legacy fundraising effort. We saw what an amazing providential work God has graced us with throughout the year. Ps Adam followed that up with speaking on Creating a House. Who is the house for? God, of course. And Christians. And the city of Bundaberg. Using many scriptures, Ps Adam shows us just how important it can be and how exciting it can be as well.
Today is Pentecost Sunday, and we have special guest speaker Ps David McDonald, the past chairman of INC. Ps David quotes Jesus, "Who Do You Say That I Am?" and answers this question thoroughly. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, and Ps David has much to say about needing the Holy Spirit in our lives.

What do we gain from fellowship? Ps Adam highlights three life changing benefits we take away from coming together in social settings and small gatherings.
Honouring can come naturally when relationships are good, but how we do we honour the dishounourable is our life? This Mothers Day, Ps Joey brings us steps on what is honour, what it is not, what is the difference between respect & honour & how to we apply it.
Pastor Adam explores the design of Solomon's temple and draws parallels between it and the modern church.
Ps Joey describes how various authorities govern our lives. She reads Scripture that clearly shows us that Jesus has been given all authority over all heaven and earth. And that authority has been given to each of us by Jesus! Using many Scriptures, Ps Joey explains how that works and how we can put it into practice. Don't miss this one!
Happy Easter! Today Alive Church presents a very special Easter event. It's a mixture of songs, acting (during the songs so you won't miss anything) and a mighty and passionate narration from Ps Adam. Ps Adam takes us from the Jewish Passover and all the way through the Easter story to the end. While addressing different characters in all that, Ps Adam frequently asks the question, "Which One Are You?"
Ps Adam reports that, between the Old Testament and the New Testament, there was a 400-year gap. They were dark years for Israel, with much unreliability and death and darkness of all kinds. Towards the end of that period, the Romans had appointed Herod the Great as King of Judaean. This is where it gets really interesting! (Jesus!)
Humility was one of the defining features of Jesus' ministry. This message explores what it looks like for us to have a humble heart posture.

Colours" is a colloquial term for the flag military units would carry into battle. They were used to identify a particular battalion, indicate strategy and tactics and declare who it was they were fighting for. Ps Adam discusses the "colours" we carry and how to carry them effectively in our day to day.
Through the pursuit of God's presence we can find fulfilment. We step into our original design and purpose when we "Seek the Face" of our Heavenly Father.

Ps Adam and Ps Joey share the message today. Ps Adam begins by reminding us of the panic at the end of 1999 as we were about to enter 2000. It was the year of the Y2K bug! Everything that had a microchip in it was going to crash. But it didn't! The computer programmers and engineers had foreseen it as far ahead as 30 years and had fixed it! Today Adam and Joey show us how we can perform The Act of Preparation ahead of 2025 for victory in all our lives.
