    💛 Love Is Not a Strategy — It's the Point | Kellie Wishart, CEO of Carenet

    What if everything we've been calling "ministry strategy" is just love with a plan attached — and we've forgotten which one is supposed to lead? In this powerful message, Kellie Wishart, CEO of Carenet, challenges us to rethink how we show up in service, in leadership, and in community. Drawing from the heart of Scripture, Kellie reminds us that love isn't a tool we use to accomplish kingdom work — love is the kingdom work. When Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment was, He didn't hand us a framework. He gave us a posture. Love God. Love people. Everything hangs on this. Whether you're a ministry leader, a volunteer, or simply someone trying to figure out how faith shows up in daily life, this message will stir something in you — and maybe rearrange your priorities in the best possible way. 📖 Key Scripture: Matthew 22:37–40 | 1 Corinthians 13 | 1 John 4:19 In this sermon: - Why love must be the motive, not the method - The danger of building ministry around outcomes instead of people - What it looks like to lead, serve, and give from a place of genuine love - How Carenet's mission is rooted in the call to love unconditionally 🙏 If this message moved you, share it with someone who needs the reminder today. 🔔 Subscribe for more sermons, stories of faith, and encouragement from Carenet. 🌐 Visit us at www.manninghamcc.org Carenet exists because love is not a strategy — it's the point.

    ARISE TO PURPOSE | You Were Created On Purpose, For a Purpose - Ps Matt Wyatt

    Before you can step into your purpose — you need to know who is being called to arise. In this message, we unpack one of the most powerful truths in Scripture: that through faith in Jesus Christ, you have been begotten of God. Not a servant. Not a stranger. A child. An heir. And from that unshakeable identity, you are called to arise into the good works God prepared for you before you drew your first breath. This sermon covers: ✦ The biblical meaning of begotten — and why your true identity changes everything ✦ Why comfort is often the greatest enemy of a purposeful life (the hard truth nobody wants to hear) ✦ Two anchor truths from Scripture on purpose — and two practical action points to live them out this week ✦ A powerful real-life example from right here in Melbourne, Australia Key Scriptures: Ephesians 2:10 | John 1:12–13 | 1 John 3:1–2 | Galatians 4:7 | Jeremiah 29:11 | Romans 8:28 | Philippians 2:13 | Micah 6:8 You are not random. You are not accidental. You are God's handiwork — and today, you are invited to live like it.

    ARISE TO LOVE | Perfect Love Casts Out Fear — 1 John 4:18-19 - Ps Matt Wyatt

    ARISE TO LOVE | Perfect Love Casts Out Fear — 1 John 4:18-19 Is your relationship with God driven by love — or quietly controlled by fear? Fear that you're not doing enough. Fear that you've fallen too far. Fear that His love is somehow conditional on your performance. In this message, Ps Matt Wyatt at Manningham Christian Centre unpacks one of the most powerful declarations in all of Scripture: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear." (1 John 4:18-19) You'll discover why God is always the initiator and you are the respondent — and why getting that the wrong way around leads to an exhausting, works-based faith that was never meant for you. Ps Matt also confronts two hard truths that many Christians never face: ✦ Fear disguised as humility — and how it keeps you distant from God ✦ How fear silently poisons the way you love the people around you This sermon ends on one of the greatest identity declarations in the New Testament — Romans 8:15-17 — and the truth that you did not receive a spirit of bondage to fear, but the Spirit of adoption, by which you cry out: Abba, Father. You are not a slave trying to earn your place. You are a child who already belongs. Arise to Love. 📖 Scriptures: 1 John 4:18-19 | Romans 8:15-17 | 2 Timothy 1:7 | John 3:16 | 1 Corinthians 13 | Colossians 3:14 | Philippians 1:6 🏠 Manningham Christian Centre | Preached by Ps Matt Wyatt

    But We See Jesus - Ps Julie Harrison

    But We See Jesus | Perspective and Hope | MCC Morning Service When you look at the world around you — the wars, the suffering, the unanswered prayers, the injustice — what do you see? It's easy to feel overwhelmed by how broken things look. But Scripture gives us a powerful shift in perspective: "But we see Jesus." In this message from Hebrews 2:8–9 and 1 Corinthians 15:24–25, we explore the tension between what we know to be true and what we see with our eyes. God has placed all things under Christ's feet — yet not everything looks that way right now. Authentic faith doesn't require us to deny that reality. Instead, it calls us to fix our eyes on the One in whom everything will ultimately be made right. We look at what it means that Jesus is reigning now — not waiting to become King, but actively working to subdue all opposition to God's purposes. His Kingdom is growing, and we are called to co-labour with Him. Whether you're carrying anger, doubt, fear, pride, or anxiety — this message is for you. Because when we behold Jesus, everything changes. 📖 Key Scriptures: Hebrews 2:8–9 | 1 Corinthians 15:24–25 | Psalm 47:8 | Luke 12:32 | John 14:1 We partner with Jesus in the 'now' and place our hope in Him for the 'not yet'. And He is enough.

    Draw Near to Jesus as KING - PS Matt Wyatt

    What if the reason so many of us feel like we're living at a fraction of what God promised is because we've welcomed Jesus as Savior — but quietly kept Him at arm's length as King? In this message, we unpack the Model Prayer — "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" — and ask the question: can you sincerely pray that prayer if you haven't yet let the King come? Drawing from the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares in Matthew 13, we look at three powerful truths: 👑 The King You Get to Choose — The Kingdom promises are real. Healing, peace, provision, purpose. But they belong to sons and daughters of the King. Choosing Jesus as King isn't a burden — it's the most liberating decision you'll ever make. 🌱 The Soil of Your Soul — You are responsible for what grows in your heart. The enemy doesn't need your cooperation — just your distraction. What are you cultivating? 🌾 Bend Before You Burn — Ripe wheat bows under the weight of its own fruitfulness. Empty tares stand stiff and proud. Fruitfulness produces humility. Are there places in your life where you've refused to bend? This is a message about surrender — not as defeat, but as the doorway into everything God has already promised you. 📖 Scriptures referenced: Matthew 6:10 · Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 · Philippians 2:9-11 · Romans 10:9 · Proverbs 4:23 · James 4:6-7 · Matthew 11:28-30 🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss a message. 💬 Drop a comment below — which point hit home for you today? 🙏 Share this with someone who needs to hear it. #KingJesus #KingdomOfHeaven #ChristianSermon #Faith #Surrender #WheatAndTares #AriseAndDrawNear #Jesus #Church #BibleTeaching

    Draw Near to your First Love - Ps. Matt Wyatt

    Have you drifted from the closeness you once had with God — without even realizing it happened? In this message, we explore what it means to return to your first love. Drawing from the Parable of the Pearl of Great Price, the story of King David and Bathsheba, and Jesus washing His disciples' feet in John 13, we unpack the honest truth about distraction, self-preservation, and what it actually looks like to draw near to God again. This message is for anyone who is still showing up — but knows something has quietly shifted in their heart. 📖 Scriptures covered: Matthew 13:45-46 | Revelation 2:4 | 2 Samuel 11 | John 13:3-5 | John 15:5 | Ecclesiastes 3:11 | James 4:8 | Matthew 11:28 💬 In this message: Why busyness is the camouflage of emptiness What your "Bathsheba" really is — and how it got there Why self-preservation is exhausting — and what the antidote is How Jesus leads with perfect humility and authority Practical steps to draw near again — starting today "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." — James 4:8 👇 If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs it today. 🔔 Subscribe for more messages |

    🎙️ Dr Allan Meyer | Day of Visitation - The letter of your life

    This Sunday, we were truly blessed to welcome the incredible Dr Allan Meyer to Manningham Christian Centre, as he delivered a powerful and deeply personal message that left hearts stirred and spirits renewed. Dr Meyer opened up about a defining moment in his own life — a moment where he stood at a crossroads and had to make a deliberate choice about how he was going to live. That pivotal moment, he called his Day of Visitation — the day everything changed. Drawing from this deeply honest testimony, Dr Meyer reminded us that our lives are a letter, read by those around us — including those who are watching from the margins, the broken, and even those behind prison walls. Whether we realise it or not, the way we live as followers of Christ speaks louder than any sermon, any program, or any outreach effort. His message was a timely and convicting reminder that Christianity is not just what we say — it's what others see. And the impact of a life genuinely surrendered to God is far more powerful than we could ever imagine. If you've ever wondered whether your faith makes a difference — this message is for you. 🙏 📖 "You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone." — 2 Corinthians 3:2 👍 Like, Share & Subscribe to stay up to date with all messages from Manningham Christian Centre. 📍 Manningham Christian Centre | Doncaster, VIC 🌐 manninghamcc.org 📧 office@manninghamcc.org #DrAllanMeyer #ManninghamChristianCentre #DayOfVisitation #ChristianSermon #SundayMessage #Faith #Christianity #Testimony #PowerOfYourLife #LetterToTheWorld

    Divine Proximity — Draw Near To God Changes How We Worship - Ps Matt Wyatt

    What if the greatest barrier between you and God was already removed — 2,000 years ago? In this message, we explore one of the most revolutionary truths in all of Scripture: that through Jesus, ordinary people now have bold, direct, uninhibited access to the very throne room of God. No priest required. No protocol to navigate. No distance to maintain. Drawing on Hebrews 10:19-22, James 4:7-9, Isaiah 6, and 2 Corinthians 3:18, we unpack what it actually means to draw near — and why doing so changes not just how we pray, but how we worship, how we see ourselves, and how we live. This isn't about religious performance. It's about Divine Proximity. 🔑 In this message: Why the tearing of the curtain was the most radical moment in history What Isaiah's throne room encounter reveals about true worship How drawing near transforms you from the inside out Why you are not a wretch — you are an heir A practical, active call to draw near to God today 📖 Scriptures referenced: Hebrews 10:19-22 · Hebrews 4:16 · Isaiah 6:1-5 · James 4:7-9 · 2 Corinthians 3:18 · John 4:24 · Psalm 145:18 · Matthew 11:28 · Hebrews 11:6 "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." — James 4:8 🔔 Subscribe for weekly messages 👍 Like and share if this encouraged you 💬 Drop a comment below — we'd love to hear how God is speaking to you #DrawNearToGod #DivinProximity #ChristianSermon #Worship #Hebrews #JamesChapter4 #ChurchOnline #Faith #HolySpirit #BibleTeaching
