    What was I made right for?

    Over the past month, we’ve discovered why we need to be made right with God, how we are made right through faith in Jesus, and what a made right life looks like. This week, Pastor Rowe wrapped up our Romans series by asking the next big question: What was I made right for? From Romans 12 to 16, we see that being made right isn’t the end of the story, it’s the beginning of a new way of living. When we are made right, we are invited to live fully and freely in response to all that Jesus has done for us. This is life in its fullness, not a half-lived existence, but one shaped by worship, humility, love, and hope. To live made right is to become a living sacrifice, offering every part of ourselves to God and allowing Him to transform the way we think and live. It’s a life of humility, where we serve others, respect authority, and encourage faith to grow without judgment. It’s a life of genuine love, not just words or sentiment, but practical care that shows up for others in need and overcomes evil with good. And it’s a life of hope, filled with joy and peace through the Holy Spirit, trusting that God’s plan is good and sharing that hope with the world around us. We are made right to reflect Jesus: to live fully, love deeply, and carry His hope into every space we step into. "Now all glory to God, who is able to make you strong, just as my Good News says. This message about Jesus Christ has revealed his plan for you Gentiles, a plan kept secret from the beginning of time. But now as the prophets foretold and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is made known to all Gentiles everywhere, so that they too might believe and obey him. All glory to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, forever. Amen."

    What does a made right life look like?

    Last week we learned that through faith in Christ we are made right with God, not by what we do but by believing in what Jesus has done. This week, Pastor Jeff opened Romans 8, one of the most powerful chapters in Scripture, to ask: What does a made right life look like? A made right life is marked by incredible privileges that are ours in Christ. It’s a life without condemnation, where guilt no longer defines us. It’s powered by the Spirit of God living inside us, giving us strength to live out what we believe. It’s life as a child of God, adopted into His family now and forever. It’s a life with help in weakness, where even when we don’t know how to pray, the Spirit intercedes for us. And it’s a life that cannot be separated from His love; no power in heaven or earth can pull us from His grasp. Romans 8 reminds us that these are not distant promises. They are gifts available to every believer today. To live a made right life is to live in freedom, power, and unshakable love. "Nothing can ever separate us from God’s love, neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons. Nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."

    How can I be made right with God?

    Last week we saw that humanity is both beautiful and broken, created in God’s image yet fallen from His design. This week, Pastor Jeff asked the crucial question: How can I be made right with God? From the story of Abraham in Romans 4, we see that God’s way has never been about performance, reward, or moral perfection. While the world runs on “earn your worth,” Scripture tells us something radically different: “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.” Faith is trust, the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things unseen. Like Abraham, we are made right with God not by what we do, but by believing in what Christ has done. This is the scandal and the wonder of the gospel: that through faith in Jesus, we are made right. Jesus offers us more than religion. He offers relationship, peace, purpose, belonging, rest, and eternal life. And it all begins with faith. “We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.” Romans 3:22 Stay connected with Laneway Church and our lead Pastors Jeff and Rowena Lloyd: 🌐 laneway.church 📱 Instagram: @lanewaychurchbathurst_ | @jeff.lloyd.bathurst | @rlloyd24 #LanewayChurch #MadeRight #WeAreC3 #GospelTruth

    Why do I need to be made right?

    The book of Romans is Paul’s masterpiece, a sweeping letter that maps the gospel with breathtaking clarity. This week, Pastor Jeff began our new series Made Right with the question: Why do I need to be made right? From the grandeur of ancient Rome to the small, persecuted house churches where believers first gathered, we see that Paul wrote to a world not unlike ours. It was full of beauty and brokenness. Humanity is remarkable, yet deeply flawed. Scripture tells us, “No one is righteous, not even one.” We sense it too, in the violence of nations, in fractured relationships, even in our own hearts. But Romans reveals something extraordinary: God has made a way. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. Not by performance or perfection, but through undeserved kindness. In Christ, what was fatally flawed at its core is restored and made new, made right, made whole. This is the heart of the gospel. Through faith in Jesus, we are freed from striving and we are reconciled to God.

    Why do we preach the Word?

    In a world overflowing with information, from TED talks to podcasts, social media and streaming, we might ask why dedicate time each Sunday to preaching in the local church? Pastor Jeff reminded us that preaching is not just information but truth on fire: Spirit-empowered proclamation that calls us to know God and live for Him. From Moses to Samuel, Jesus to Peter and Paul, Scripture shows that preaching has always carried both truth and exhortation. It not only explains God’s Word but urges us to respond, loving Him with all our heart, turning from idols, standing firm in Christ, and proclaiming the gospel. This week, Pastor Jeff traced how the church has cherished preaching through history, from the prophets to the apostles, from the Reformation to today. Preaching in the local church is not about streaming in the world’s best communicators, but about God speaking through His Word, His Spirit, and His people here and now. At the heart of all preaching is the gospel: that God created us in love, we turned away, but in Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, we are reconciled to Him. Through His death and resurrection, we are invited into eternal life and a restored creation. This is the message we carry, generation to generation, until Christ returns.

    Why do we worship together?

    Why do we worship together? It is more profound than singing songs on a Sunday. Worship is God’s design for His people. In worship we give ourselves to God through Christ, by the Spirit, and in the company of His church. This week the Laneway Worship Team, Laura, Rhys, and Sharon, shared from Scripture and their own stories about the beauty and power of gathered worship. Drawing from Psalm 96, Hebrews 10, and Revelation 4-5, they reminded us that worship begins with God’s worthiness, not our feelings. As we lift our voices, we respond to His glory, we strengthen and encourage one another, and we proclaim to the world that the Lord reigns. When we sing together, we are united in truth and witness, and we join with the eternal chorus of heaven. God’s presence is made real among us and we receive a foretaste of the day when Christ will return and all creation will worship Him forever.

    Why do we raise the next generation in faith?

    Raising the next generation in faith is not something we can leave to chance. Every day, children are being formed through school, screens, and culture, by stories that shape how they see the world. The question is, who is doing the forming? In this week’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds us that parenting is more than running a household; it is discipleship. Drawing on Joshua 24:15, Deuteronomy 6:6–7, and Ephesians 6:4, he shows us how we can help shape the faith of the next generation. Parents and leaders are called to resolve the direction of their families, setting a clear spiritual course. Faith formation happens in the everyday, in conversations, routines, and life together, as we maximise every moment to point to God. Discipleship also means guiding with patience, truth, and encouragement, raising children to love the Lord. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, youth leader, or part of the church family, we all play a role in passing on a living faith. As Pastor Jeff shared, “God works in families to raise a generation. Let’s be that church that raises the next generation with faith, courage, and love for Jesus.” Stay connected with Laneway Church and our lead Pastors Jeff and Rowena Lloyd: 🌐 laneway.church 📱 Instagram: @lanewaychurchbathurst_ | @jeff.lloyd.bathurst | @rlloyd24 #LanewayChurch #RaisingTheNextGeneration #WeAreC3 #FaithAtHome

    Freedom from the fear of missing my calling

    Fear of missing your calling can weigh heavily. We wonder if we are in the right place or if we have somehow missed what God had planned. Yet the Bible reminds us that our calling is not limited to a career or a title. From the very beginning, Genesis 2 shows that God created us with work to do, and Colossians 3:23 reminds us that whatever we do is for the Lord. Psalm 138 says He has a purpose for our lives, and Isaiah 65 gives us hope that nothing done in Him is in vain. In this week’s panel of Laneway Stories, Pastor Rowe sat down with Peter and Bron to talk about vocation, work, and the peace of walking with God in all seasons. Bron shared, “I get so much joy in enabling students to be creative. That is my happy place.” Peter reflected on years in the banking world, saying, “For me, God was with me wherever I worked.” As we consider our own work and season of life, we can take heart that God is with us in it. He has not abandoned us to chance but has purposes that unfold through both the ordinary and the unexpected.
