    1 Samuel 8 - Who Will Be King? | Zach Conway

    Series: Meet Jesus Date: 6 October 2024 Preacher: Zach Conway -- This sermon explores the concept of kingship in the Bible, focusing on Israel's request for a king in 1 Samuel 8 and how it relates to our need for Jesus as the perfect king.

  3. Ecclesiastes 11-12 - The End of Futility | Dave Miers

    SEP 29

    Ecclesiastes 11-12 - The End of Futility | Dave Miers

    Series: The End of Futility Date: 29 September 2024 Preacher: Rev Dave Miers -- In our exploration of Ecclesiastes, we've uncovered profound truths about life's seeming futility and the path to finding meaning. The book's repeated refrain of 'vanity' or 'meaningless' isn't the final word. Instead, we're called to rejoice in life, remember our Creator, and revere the Judge. These three 'R's' remind us that while life under the sun may feel transient, our actions echo in eternity. The vivid imagery of aging in Ecclesiastes 12 is a poignant reminder to seek God early before the 'evil days' come. This message carries particular weight for young people, urging them to build a foundation of faith in their youth. Ultimately, Ecclesiastes points us to Jesus, the One Shepherd, who offers true meaning and eternal life beyond the temporary nature of our earthly existence. Sermon Outline: 1/ REJOICE IN LIFE Ecclesiastes 11:7-10 2/ REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR Ecclesiastes 12:1-8 3/ REVERE THE JUDGE Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 -- Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.

    SEP 22

    Ecclesiastes 8-10 - Feasting Amid Futility | Dave Miers

    Series: The End of Futility Date: 22 September 2024 Preacher: Rev Dave Miers -- This sermon explores the tension between the futility of life described in Ecclesiastes and the hope of feasting with God. It examines how the book of Ecclesiastes was used in ancient Israel's Feast of Tabernacles to anchor joy in reality. The sermon then traces the theme of feasting throughout Scripture, from Eden to Jesus' ministry, culminating in the promise of the marriage supper of the Lamb. It emphasises that even in times of futility, believers can find joy in God's gifts and hope in the ultimate feast to come. Sermon Outline: THE PLACE OF ECCLESIASTES IN THE LIFE OF ISRAEL WHAT DOES FEASTING HAVE TO DO WITH FUTILITY? 1/ AN INVITATION TO FEAST WITH GOD Ecclesiastes 2:24, 3:13, 5:18, 8:15; 9:7 2/ FEASTING IN A TIME OF FUTILITY Romans 8 3/ INVITED TO THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB Revelation 19 -- Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.

    Luke 4:1-13 - Is Satan A Real Problem? | Dave Miers

    Series: Meet Jesus Date: 15 Stepember 2024 Preacher: Rev Dave Miers -- This sermon explores the reality of Satan and evil, focusing on Jesus' encounter with the devil in the wilderness. It emphasises Christ's victory over temptation by relying on God's Word and obeying the Father's will. The sermon parallels Jesus' temptation and the broader narrative of salvation, highlighting Jesus as the true and better Adam and Israel. It underscores the necessity of the cross in God's plan of redemption and encourages believers to trust in Christ's finished work while continuing to fight against sin, the world, and the devil. Outline: 1/ A REAL ENCOUNTER WITH A REAL ENEMY Luke 4:1-2 2/ A REAL VICTORY FROM A REAL CHAMPION Luke 4:3-12 3/ A REAL HELP IN OUR REAL TEMPTATIONS Luke 4:13; Hebrews 4:14-16 -- Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.

    John 3:1-15 - You Must Be Born Again | Will Ross

    Series: Meet Jesus Date: 8 Stepember 2024 Preacher: Pastor Will Ross (Liberti Church Mermaid Beach) -- We were honoured to have Pastor Will Ross from Liberti Church Mermaid Beach deliver an insightful sermon in our "Meet Jesus" mini-series. Centred on the remarkable encounter between Nicodemus and Jesus in John's Gospel, Pastor Will unpacks the necessity and meaning of being 'born again' to enter the Kingdom of God. He explains that this spiritual rebirth is a work of God, brought about by trusting in Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own spiritual rebirth and recognise signs of transformation, such as practising righteousness, ending sinful behaviour, and walking in love, especially towards other Christians. Pastor Will also emphasises that entering the Kingdom of God is not achieved through our own efforts but through faith in Jesus Christ. Open your Bibles, follow along, and be encouraged to step out of darkness and into the light through this enlightening message about the Gospel's transformative power. -- Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.

  7. Ecclesiastes 6:10-9:12 - Wisdom Only Gets You So Far | Dave Miers

    SEP 1

    Ecclesiastes 6:10-9:12 - Wisdom Only Gets You So Far | Dave Miers

    Series: The End of Futility Date: 1 September 2024 Preacher: Rev Dave Miers -- Our culture's focus on wellness highlights the pursuit of physical, mental, and spiritual health, yet often leaves us feeling unfulfilled. Ecclesiastes provides wisdom, emphasising that while wellness and wisdom are valuable, they have limitations, especially in the face of life's fleeting nature and the inevitability of death. The sermon draws on these themes to point to the ultimate hope in Jesus, who has defeated death and offers eternal life. We're encouraged to live wisely, embracing life's gifts with contentment, companionship, and courage, while looking forward to the victory over death found in Christ. Sermon Outline: 1/ THE LIMITATIONS OF WISDOM Ecclesiastes 6:10-12; 7:1-19; 1:16-18 2/ THE REALITY OF DEATH Ecclesiastes 9:1-12; 7:2-4 3/ THE CONSOLATIONS OF LIFE Ecclesiastes 9:7-10; 1 Corinthians 10:31 4/ THE DEATH OF DEATH Ecclesiastes 7:29, 20; John 20; 1 Corinthians 15 -- Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.

  8. Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:9 - The Cure For Affluenza | Dave Miers

    AUG 25

    Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:9 - The Cure For Affluenza | Dave Miers

    Series: The End of Futility Date: 25 August 2024 Preacher: Rev Dave Miers -- In this sermon, we delved into Ecclesiastes 5 and 6, examining the dangers of wealth and the futility of placing our hope in money. The Preacher in Ecclesiastes exposes the reality of economic injustice, the dissatisfaction that wealth brings, and the truth that the more money we have, the more problems we encounter. Despite the allure of wealth, it ultimately slips through our fingers, leaving us empty-handed. Yet, amid this bleak picture, there is hope. We are called to move from greed to gratitude, finding joy in God's good gifts without placing our ultimate trust in them. The sermon concludes with a challenge to invest in eternity, using our resources not for self-gain but for the glory of God and the good of others. In a world obsessed with affluence, we are reminded that true contentment and lasting treasure are found in Christ alone. Sermon Outline: 1/ THE REALITY OF ECONOMIC INJUSTICE Ecclesiastes 5:8-9 2/ THE DISSATISFACTION OF WEALTH Ecclesiastes 5:10; 6:9 3/ THE MORE MONEY, THE MORE PROBLEMS Ecclesiastes 5:11-12 4/ THE DEATH OF A PORTFOLIO Ecclesiastes 5:13-17; 6:1-2 5/ THE JOURNEY FROM GREED TO GRATITUDE Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 6/ THE INVESTMENT IN ETERNITY Luke 16:1-13 -- Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.
