In September we’re celebrating three years since our first public service. Way back in September 2021 our core group moved out of our house into Hadspen Memorial Centre, and we’ve continued to worship God together as a church family ever since. We started with the firm conviction that God works through his Word by the…
We love to help out families in any way we can, and so we’re excited to be hosting two exciting School Holiday events in October. The first is a free family fun morning. We had such a good time last year, that we’re doing it again! We’ll put putting on a bunch of activities for…
Mark 10:15-16 is a profound part of God’s word. In these verses Jesus teaches us about how people enter the Kingdom of God: “Truly, I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands…
We don’t like being inconvenienced. You decide to go to a café, you get in the car, you drive over there, and then you walk up to it, and the sign on the door says ‘closed’. To make matters worse, on Google it said they were ‘open’. Even in a small way like that, it’s…
Jesus spoke more about judgment, and about hell, than he did about heaven. Mark 9:42-50 is one of these times: If anyone causes one of these little ones – those who believe in me – to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were…
Who is the greatest? I follow the Australian Football League, and my team was privileged (having finished last in the competition last season) to be able to select the number 1 draft pick. In the lead up to the draft, there was speculation and comparison about who the best talent was. We have this thing…
I think Launnie (not Lonnie) is a great place to live. January is a time of new beginnings for many people. Packing and unpacking boxes, enrolling kids into school, and starting a new job in a new workplace is a mix of fun, excitement and apprehension. If you’re one of the many people who have…
I recently remembered that it’s about two years since we commenced public worship services at Grace Presbyterian Church. We ‘officially’ started in about September 2021 when our church core group finally found a place to meet in, the Hadspen Memorial Centre. I’m profoundly thankful to God for these past two years. Thinking back to when…
The Cross “He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and…
When I was in school. There was the lunch phenomenon of the sports game. And not having fixed teams, it was always the case that you had to get into teams before you started the game. Sometimes the teams were pretty fair and evenly matched. At other times, it would be entirely stacked with the…
