This week Pastor Neli helps us to embrace the call to be faithful stewards of all God has entrusted to us— our time, talents, and finances. Remember that our relationship with God should guide how we manage these resources, using them not only to glorify Him but also to bless others. Just as Jesus taught, faithfulness in small things prepares us for greater responsibilities. Let our lives be trellised to His presence and principles, reflecting His generosity in everything we do. Trust in His provision and be encouraged that as we steward well, we pave the way for greater blessings and opportunities to serve His purpose.
One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” - Luke 16:10-13 (ESV)

Join us at Brisbane Central as we continue with our current series, Think Outside The Bucks. This week Pastor Neli reminds us not to be anxious about our lives. Just as God cares for the birds and flowers, He cares for you even more and knows all your needs. Trust in His provision and prioritise seeking His kingdom, knowing that He will take care of the rest. Let go of worry and embrace the peace that comes from knowing your Father is faithful and generous. Use your time, talents, and resources wisely, living generously and with confidence that God’s got you covered.
And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you. - Luke 12:29-31 (ESV)

This week Pastor Neli teaches us to be on our guard against all kinds of greed. Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions. Consider how greed might subtly influence your actions and priorities. Are we aligning our hearts with God’s purpose? Remember, true wealth isn't measured by possessions but by being rich toward God. Let's trust in God's provision and live generously, knowing that our lives are held in His hands. Embrace the posture of generosity, and let God's abundance flow through you to bless others.
And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.” - Luke 12:18-21 (ESV)

This week Pastor Neli reminds us of the transformative power of spending time in God's presence. Just as Jesus drew strength from his intimate relationship with the Father, we're urged to inhale God's presence and exhale justice, mercy, and humility in our daily lives. Whether it's standing up for the marginalised, showing mercy to others, or humbly surrendering to God's plan, we're reminded that our mission flows naturally from our worship. Let's embrace this week with renewed zeal, knowing that God equips us with everything we need to make a difference in the world around us.
“With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?” He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6:6-8 (ESV)

This week Pastor Tina reminds us to pause and embrace the wonder of God's presence in our life. Let’s be still and open to God's revelations, allowing His love and promises to fill us with awe and gratitude. Reflect on God's goodness, seek His vision for your life, and let His wonder guide your actions and decisions. Surrender your routines and let the Holy Spirit refresh and renew you, sparking a renewed sense of wonder and purpose in your daily walk.
Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran. And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it! - Genesis 28:10-12 (ESV)

This week Pastor Neli invites us to an enriching experience of diving into God's word. There are blessings of delighting in the law of the Lord and meditating on it day and night.  Embrace the life-changing potential of scripture, and be reminded in every age and place, that the Bible has supernaturally transformed lives, offering joy and eternal life to all who engage with its timeless truths. So let's take this encouragement and embrace the transformative power of God's word as we navigate life's journey with faith and hope.
1 Blessed is the man    who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,nor stands in the way of sinners,    nor sits in the seat of scoffers;2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord,    and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree    planted by streams of waterthat yields its fruit in its season,    and its leaf does not wither.In all that he does, he prospers.4 The wicked are not so,    but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,    nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,    but the way of the wicked will perish.
Psalm 1:1-6 (ESV)
