Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Jonathan Smith The faithful ministry of Word and Spirit results in rapid growth for the early church. This is a beautiful display of God’s grace, but it also makes life more complicated and potentially divisive. In response to these growing pains, the Apostles appoint faithful servants to aid in the ministry of pastoral care. Churches today must do the same.

Reader: Bek Hudson Preacher: John Hudson We are in the final week of three where John is taking us on a journey that shows us the resources that we have in the Gsopel. Today he shows how the gospel fully satisfies. Placing our hope in people, careers, material possession, or for that matter, anything other than the gospel, we will eventually be unsatisfied because the circumstances around these other things change. God never changes. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Red Door is a...

In today's message from Acts 4:32-5:11, we see how the early church shared their possessions. It was not communism where everthing you own belongs to the state, rather it was "what is mine is yours". However, whereever this is good, there is the opportunity for evil and deception. We see thi...

Reader: Judy Carr Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today Pastor Jonathan continues with part two of a three part series on generosity. Today Jonathan challenges us to look at who is the real god of our lives. Is it God or is it money and all of the materialism that goes with money? We need to be honest and admit that it's probably a mixture of both, but Jesus was clear in Matthew 6 that we cannot love both God and money. We will serve one or the other, and use the other to serve the first. Will we use m...

Reader: Anne Miller Preacher: Jonathan Smith Psalm 63 is a call to always praise God - especially when we are at a low point in our lives. We have a tendency to try and find other things in our lives to satisfy our needs, yet they all leave us dry and desolate, without water (Ps 63:1), but God is the fountain of never ending water. In comparison, it is ridiculous to seek these other things when God is there. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of pe...

This is the crux of this psalm - if we are only following God for t...
