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…
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…
