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…
Grace Presbyterian Church Launceston will be an unashamedly Bible believing church. We believe that Launceston needs more Bible believing churches. We’d love to see many more churches planted which teach, study, and preach the Bible. We want to be Bible people, and we’d love for many more people to read it. Why is this important?…
As we slowly work toward the beginning of the new church plant here in Launceston, I have the privilege of visiting many different churches across Tasmania. I’ve been reflecting on the book of Micah for a series I’m preaching, and a question has been lingering…. “Is there a place for lament in our lives and…
Who is a God like you? The answer to that question is…nobody! nothing! noone! This is the question which the prophet poses at the end of the little known book of Micah (7:18). Bruce Waltke points out in his commentary, Micah’s own name means “Who is like Yah?” Micah’s own name is a testimony to…
No not a church plant launch, but a lunch. We’ve had a couple of fantastic vision events so far but this time we’ve decided to mix things up. On Sunday the 16th August we’re holding a lunch time Q&A. I’ll give a short talk from God’s word and then we’ll chat about the church plant…
Our family visited the city centre of Launceston this week. We needed to get out of the house and the train playground at City Park was a good option. After enjoying the park, we got in the car to drive back home. As we drove off, I commented that it had been weeks since I…
We’d love to share with you what we’re praying that God will bring about in 2021. We’re holding a couple of vision events over the next few months. At these events, I’ll be sharing about Prospect and the region, the why of church planting, the vision for new church, and how you can be involved….
