    Jesus: The Bread of Life That Never Leaves You Hungry

    In this first message of our 2026 Lent “I AM” series, we unpack Jesus’ bold declaration: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” (John 6:35) We’ve all chased things that promised satisfaction — the perfect meal, the big promotion, success, comfort, even other religions — only to wake up hungry again. Jesus says there’s only one source that truly fills the deepest longings of your soul. Through John 6 we discover: - Why the crowds followed Jesus for the wrong reasons - What it really means to “eat His flesh and drink His blood” - How Jesus alone is the bread from heaven that gives eternal life - Why no other “bread” (including well-meaning but false religion) can ever satisfy This Lent, stop snacking on what leaves you empty. Come feast on the Bread of Life. 📖 Key Verse: John 6:35 ✝️ Series: I AM – Discovering Who Jesus Really Is (Lent 2026) If this message spoke to you, hit LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and share it with someone who needs to hear that Jesus is enough.

    False Life-Givers vs True Lifeguards – A Jude Warning

    In a world full of smooth-talking “life-givers” who tell us God’s boundaries are outdated, how do we stay safe? Using a vivid Australian beach illustration — red and yellow flags, rips, and a faithful lifeguard named Alex — Pastor Chris unpacks Jude 17-25 and shows us exactly how to contend for the faith once for all entrusted to the saints. You’ll discover: • How false teachers operate (grumbling, flattering, promising freedom that leads to destruction) • Four practical ways to build yourself up and stay in God’s love • How to show mercy to doubters, snatch others from the fire, and help the entangled without getting pulled under • The glorious truth that God is able to keep you from stumbling and present you faultless with great joy. Whether you’re drifting, doubting, or rescuing others — this message will anchor you. 📖 Jude 17-25 🔴 Swim between the flags. Jesus is Lord.

    Don't Turn Grace into a License – Jude's Wake-Up Call

    In this sermon on the short but powerful book of Jude, we explore how God welcomes us into His family by sheer grace—called out of darkness, loved deeply now, and kept securely for eternity (Jude 1:1; "called, loved, kept"). But with this amazing gift comes responsibility: we must not abuse His grace or turn it into a license for immorality and self-rule (Jude 4). Jude, the brother of James (and half-brother of Jesus), humbly calls himself a "servant" of Christ and urges believers to "contend for the faith once for all entrusted to the saints" (Jude 3). He warns against false teachers who secretly slip in, deny Jesus as Sovereign Lord through their lifestyles—especially in areas of sexual immorality and greed—and face certain judgment. Yet the message is hopeful: remember who you are in Christ, stand firm against error, call others to the light, and trust God's keeping power until Jesus returns.

    The Light Shines in the Darkness

    In a week marked by tragedy — an antisemitic attack at Bondi and escalating war on the Cambodia-Thailand border, where some of our missionary partners work — the darkness of our world feels overwhelming. Yet Scripture declares that this darkness is nothing new, and Christmas reminds us that a great light has already dawned. Drawing from Isaiah’s Servant Songs (especially Isaiah 49:1–6), this sermon shows how Jesus is the true Servant Israel could never be: the light not only for God’s people but for the Gentiles, bringing salvation to the ends of the earth. From Simeon’s song in Luke 2 to John’s testimony, the New Testament proclaims that Jesus is the true light that shines in the darkness—and the darkness has not overcome it. Those who follow Him are called out of darkness into His marvellous light and commissioned to shine as reflections of Him in a broken world. In dark times, Christians are not permitted to hide their light. We are to stand with the grieving, speak truth, love boldly, and live as children of light until the day when Jesus returns and darkness is banished forever (Revelation 22:5). This Advent, this week, remember: the light has come—and He is coming again.

    Jesus: The Prince of Peace in a Broken World

    In this Advent sermon—delivered on the morning of the tragic Bondi Beach attack—we explore the deep human longing for peace in a world filled with conflict, from global wars to personal divisions, even violent terrorist attacks. Drawing from Isaiah 9's prophecy of the "Prince of Peace," the New Testament fulfilment in Jesus (Luke 2, Colossians 1, Ephesians 2), and the future hope of Revelation 21, it affirms: Jesus brings real peace with God through His cross, partial peace with others now, and perfect peace when He returns. Amid wars and rumors of wars (as Jesus foretold in Matthew 24), and even unexpected tragedy close to home, this is a timely reminder—peace is found in Christ alone. We experience it in part today through forgiveness and repentance, and we'll know it fully when sin and Satan are defeated forever. This Advent, let us rest in the peace God offers now, pursue peace with others, and pray for Jesus' return to make all things new.

    From Depths to Dawn: Waiting for Christmas Forgiveness | Psalm 130 Advent Sermon

    Dive into the raw cry of Psalm 130 this Advent: from the desperate depths of sin to the radiant hope of God's forgiveness, revealed in the arrival of Jesus at Christmas. Inspired by John Wesley's "strangely warmed heart" moment on May 24, 1738—where a struggling minister finally grasped grace through Christ alone—this sermon unpacks the Psalm's journey of mercy, patient waiting, and communal encouragement. In this message, discover: How our "instant world" clashes with the psalmist's eager longing for God (vv. 5-6). The danger of cheapening grace—and why true forgiveness fuels evangelism. Whether you're wrestling with guilt, craving deeper faith, or inviting friends to hope, this word will stir your soul. If you're new to Advent or Christianity, stick around—the invitation at the end is for you.

    Christmas Prep: Welcoming the Promised King This Advent

    As we get closer to Christmas and the end of the year things can get very busy! Amidst the crazy time, it's easy to lose sight of the season's true meaning. In this Advent sermon, Chris shares a relatable tale of chaotic December prep contrasted with intentional spiritual readiness, inviting us to pause amid the busyness. Drawing from the ancient practice of Advent (Latin for "coming"), we explore God's unbreakable promises: from Abraham's long-awaited son to Micah's 700 BC prophecy of a ruler born in tiny Bethlehem (Micah 5:2-5). Fast-forward 700 years—Jesus arrives as the promised King, fulfilling every word (Matthew 2:1-8). He's our Ruler (Colossians 1:13), Good Shepherd (John 10:11-16), and Peace-bringer (Ephesians 2:14), reigning now and returning in glory (Revelation 19:11-16). But who is *your* King? In a world of "mini-kings" chasing autonomy, Jesus calls us to love God and neighbor fully (Matthew 22:37-39). As we wait between His first and second comings, will He return as Savior or Judge? (Hebrews 9:27-28). Join us for hope-filled reflection: Commit to daily moments this Advent—try a Bible reading plan or quiet prayer—to prepare your heart for the King who keeps every promise.

    The Son He Loved: When God Called Abraham to Sacrifice Everything (Genesis 22)

    In one of the Bible's most heart-wrenching stories, God tests Abraham: "Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and sacrifice him on the mountain I will show you." How could a father obey such a command? And what does this ancient tale whisper about the Father's love for us? Join us as we journey up Mount Moriah with Abraham and Isaac, uncovering staggering faith, a ram in the thicket, and the ultimate provision: Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. If you've ever wrestled with what you truly treasure, this message will challenge and comfort you. Faith goes first; obedience follows. What will you lay on the altar today?
