Welcome to Coast Evangelical Church
How do you respond to the power Jesus has? We check out four miracles and see the varying responses of both things and people and we wrestle with the question the disciples ask - "Who then is this man?" Come and do the same!
God wants you to know the secrets of the kingdom and to live a successful life. If you're eager to hear, He's keen to reveal. It matters how you listen. What kind of listener are you?
36 Then one of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 And a woman in the town who was a sinner found out that Jesus was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house. She brought an alabaster jar of perfume 38 and stood behind him at his feet, weeping, and began to wash his feet with her tears. She wiped his feet with her hair, kissing them and anointing them with the perfume. 39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he...
Jesus talks about spiritual greatness. Some people over-estimate their greatness and others under-estimate it. What do you do? And what’s the next step for you?
Often when we expect one thing and get delivered something else entirely - we are let down. John the Baptist is having doubts that Jesus is legit. What he hears about his ministry seems to be different to what was expected. So, what do we do about the doubts we may sometimes have when it comes to spiritual things?
Faith means different things to different people, but Jesus tells us what great faith really looks like.
What difference does the resurrection of Jesus 2000 years ago make to our lives today? It shows us who Jesus is (Saviour, Lord and Son of God); it means change is possible and death has been defeated.
What do you reckon the world's biggest problem is? Ask anyone in the street and there'll a wide range of opinions. Well, God's never been shy about telling us what our biggest problem is - and, He also gives us the solution. Golden times!
No-one spoke more fiercely about religious hypocrisy than Jesus. He commands us to not judge others, and to deal with our own junk first. But what does that actually look like?
Loving your enemies might seem hard, but Jesus calls us to go beyond!
The temptation of human nature is to often focus on the immediate. Especially when we are overwhelmed, struggling or entangled in sin. Join us as we see Jesus lift his disciple's eyes to a bigger and better future. It will help them (and us!) to live more effectively in the present.
Feeling tired, weary or burdened? Seek refreshment in Jesus, because He can give you deep soulful rest!
The last couple of years have brought consistent change - and lots of it. How do you cope with change? Resist? Embrace? As Jesus kicks off his public ministry he is bringing a whole lotta change - some are getting on board, and others are digging their heels in. Come and check out Jesus bringing the NEW!
Our God is a missionary God who has come to seek out unlikely people. Jesus came as the Doctor for spiritually sick people. Are you sick enough for Jesus?
Loneliness is the Australian epidemic. Years of isolating and social distancing has only heightened the stats. Join us as we check out two guys who are severely isolated and see what change Jesus brings to them. Cracker!
Jesus calls us to trust him and to join his mission to help more people connect with God. Do you trust Him? Are you on board with His mission?
Some people just ooze authority. And our response to them always matters. Come and check out how people respond to the words of Jesus as he begins his public ministry.
Jesus is good news for all people, no matter how bad their condition is. He's come to meet our greatest needs, and to make it possible for us to experience the Lord's favour. Let's get on board with his mission to take that good news to all we know.
As Jesus hits the 40 day mark of eating no food - the Devil approaches to test and tempt him. Will Jesus succeed where all others have and will fail? What does that mean exactly for you and me?
John the Baptist prepared people to meet Jesus by warning them about judgment, and urging them to repent and be baptised. Find out why his message about judgment and repentance is good news!
We don't know much about Jesus when he was young, but what we do know teaches us lots about God and what it means to follow Him.
It's a time for new beginnings and fresh starts! A time when we think about resolutions for the new year and what we want for ourselves. As we kick off our teaching series in Luke's Gospel - come and see what God desires for you in the upcoming year.
Join us as we check out the engine room of the NT. God gives us a glimpse into the fellowship that Paul has with those he does ministry with as they work together for God's glory!
Many of us find it hard to point our friends and neighbours to Jesus, but we can all do these 3 baseline things for a start: be prayerful for opportunities, wise in relationships, and gracious in conversation. Learn how to represent Jesus well, wherever you are.
Jesus calls us to relate to other members of our household in various ways. Some of his commands are counter-cultural!
What's the connection between our relationship with God and our behaviour? Our morality flows from the grace we've experienced, and profound realities of being 'in Christ'. The old self is dead and new self is being renewed to be more like Jesus. But our old self still kicks like a Zombie and needs to be killed!
Guest speaker Al Stewart (National Director of the FIEC) walks us through this meaty chunk of Scripture. If you've got Jesus, you've got all you need. You don't need extra knowledge, extra rules or extra disciplines.
Paul shares with the young Colossian church what the mystery of God is and what it means for them. His goal is a big one but as they grow into their relationship with Jesus it's a goal that's achievable thanks to the Spirit.
Jesus is the answer to all of life's biggest questions. We were made to live with him at the centre of our lives, giving Him first place in everything. Do you have a big enough picture of who He is and a clear enough picture of what He has done?
The key to working out God's will for your life is to understand God's plan for His world, and to plug into that. Here are 4 practical ways to live in accordance with God's will.
