We’re about 1 month into the church plant (give or take). Our church plant team has been meeting together each week on a Sunday. It’s wonderful to see how we’re beginning to gel together. I love the way everyone approaches how we read the Bible, we take it seriously and think deeply about how God’s…
It’s a time of endings and beginnings. The unofficial holiday season which stretches the weeks from Christmas to the long weekend is about to end. In less than 2 weeks, thousands of children will leave the parks and beaches and head to the classroom. There are new routines to be established, new challenges ahead. It’s…
We’re a Presbyterian church. Yet, for obvious reasons, when I talk about being a presbyterian it doesn’t mean a whole lot of anything to most people. However, being presbyterian really does shape a lot of who we are and what we do (even if you’d never see me dead in a kilt). It means we…
We would love to be a church community which welcomes and loves families and children. It’s our belief that children are as much a part of Jesus’ church as the adults. As Jesus said in Matthew chapter 19 verse 14, “let the little children come to me.” As a Presbyterian church we baptise kids, not…
It’s been a tough year for many people in our community. Coronavirus has made its impact felt in different ways and the flow on effects will be felt for many months to come. We’re keen to help out in any way we can. There are many reasons you might want to connect with us. We’re…
I had the opportunity to preach at St Andrews Presbyterian Church Launceston. You can check out their website here. My sermon was on 2 Timothy Chapter 3 verses 10 to 17. How do we know we aren’t being deceived or led off track by false teaching? This passage tackles this question and the good news…
Sunday might look a little bit different than what you might expect. We want to recognise the times we are in. Covid has changed the way we go about everyday life. It has changed how we think about school, work habits, we are constantly signing screening forms, and only just now being able to travel….
We’re holding a church plant gathering on the 25th October. It’s going to be a relaxed, BYO, picnic at Blackstone Heights Park starting at 12:30pm. I’ll be sharing about one of the main things that we are all about at Grace Presbyterian Church: Growing together in Jesus. I’m praying that we’d become a church which…
Keith and Kristyn Getty’s new studio album ‘Evensong’ is an absolute delight. It’s a collection of reimagined hymns, lullabies, and new music. A version of Andrew Peterson’s “Is he Worthy?” is a standout with children singing the response. My personal favourite is “The Lord is in His Holy Temple” using the words of Habakkuk. The…
When you talk to different people about ‘worship’ in Aussie churches, you can guarantee that different questions will spring to mind. Is worship the singing part of a church service? Is worship only in ‘all of life’ or is there a more narrow ‘gathered/corporate worship’? There’s often a lack of clarity on this vital aspect…
