  1. Build and Battle – Mark Sayers

    FEB 1

    Build and Battle – Mark Sayers

    In this message, Mark explores Nehemiah’s call to rebuild Jerusalem and reveals a timeless truth: every God-given vision is met with resistance. As Nehemiah and the people build with one hand and hold a sword in the other, we’re reminded that renewal never happens in a vacuum—faithfulness requires both courage and perseverance. This message invites us to stop waiting for a “perfect future moment” and instead partner with God here and now, trusting that as we build, God Himself fights for us. 🔗 Learn more at ⁠redchurch.au

  2. God’s Story — Mark Sayers

    God’s Story — Mark Sayers

    In this message, Mark explores Nehemiah’s awakening to God’s bigger story—a story that reframes identity, purpose, and calling beyond personal success or cultural narratives. Though powerful and settled in exile, Nehemiah is deeply moved by the broken state of Jerusalem, reminding him that God’s people, presence, and purposes are central to history. Mark traces how our culture has exhausted both “my story” and “our story,” and invites us to rediscover meaning by submitting our lives to God’s story. Through the overlooked faithfulness of figures like Nehemiah and Australia’s first chaplain Richard Johnson, we’re reminded that God works through small, unseen acts to build something far greater than we can imagine. This message calls us to recover our identity as God’s beloved people, reconnect to His work in the world, and trust that even our quiet obedience is planting acorns for generations to come. 🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au

    Teeming Life — Mark Sayers

    In this message, Mark reflects on God’s original vision for creation as something that teems with life—abundant, flourishing, and overflowing. Drawing from Genesis, Mark reminds us that being made in God’s image means we are entrusted with power and influence, not to control or dominate, but to steward life in love. In a world increasingly shaped by power and uncertainty, Jesus reveals an upside-down kingdom where true fruitfulness flows from love, faithfulness in small things, and dependence on the Spirit. Mark invites us at the start of a new year to reimagine success—not as growth for growth’s sake, but as partnering with God to create life wherever He has placed us. This is a call to move beyond fear and powerlessness, and to step into God’s life-giving purpose through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. 🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au

  4. A Summer of Surrender — Andy Kroussoratsky

    JAN 11

    A Summer of Surrender — Andy Kroussoratsky

    In this message, Andy Kroussoratsky reflects on our deep desire to control outcomes—especially in seasons of uncertainty—and how fear can quietly push us to take matters into our own hands. Drawing from the story of King Saul and Jesus’ words in Matthew 6, Andy contrasts a life driven by anxiety and control with a life shaped by trust and surrender. While worry tempts us to grasp for certainty, Jesus invites us to seek God’s kingdom first, trusting that He knows our needs and is sovereign over our lives. Rather than striving to manage every detail, we’re called to take faithful steps, release control, and place our confidence in a God who is both loving and faithful. The invitation for this season is simple yet challenging: let it be a summer of surrender.

  5. The Bread of Life — Andy Kroussoratsky

    JAN 4

    The Bread of Life — Andy Kroussoratsky

    In this message, Andy Kroussoratsky reflects on Jesus’ words in John 6, where He declares Himself the Bread of Life. After feeding the crowd, Jesus challenges their motives—revealing how easily we come to Him for what He can do, rather than for who He is. Andy invites us to consider the deeper hunger beneath our surface needs and reminds us that true life and lasting satisfaction aren’t found in provision alone, but in believing in and abiding with Jesus Himself. 🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au

  6. Christmas Day — Mark Sayers

    12/25/2025

    Christmas Day — Mark Sayers

    In this Christmas Day message, Mark Sayers reflects on how the birth of Jesus only makes full sense when we see it stretched across time—rooted in God’s promises of the past and opening toward God’s future for us. Drawing from John’s cosmic vision of Christ as the Word who holds all things together, and Luke’s earthy scene of a baby in a manger, Mark reminds us that Christmas is where eternity enters time, quietly and personally. Jesus doesn’t come as an idea or force, but as a child who dwells with us—present in our joy, our grief, and the unseen moments of our lives. Even when we can’t recognise what God is doing, He is still at work, often hidden and slow. And just as the manger held immense possibility, so too does our future in Christ: God is not finished yet. The good news of Christmas is this—Jesus loves you, He is close to you, He is at work in your life, and His story with you is still unfolding. 🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au

  7. Advent: The King Who Comes in Love — Mark Sayers

    12/21/2025

    Advent: The King Who Comes in Love — Mark Sayers

    In this Advent message, Mark Sayers invites us to see the Nativity through a royal lens—and to discover just how radically different Jesus’ kingship truly is. Drawing from Matthew 2, Mark shows that the Christmas story is not sentimental folklore but a confrontation of kingdoms: Herod’s fragile power versus the quiet arrival of the true King. While earthly rulers grasp for control, Jesus enters the world hidden, vulnerable, and unexpected—a baby in a manger, surrounded not by force but by worship. This upside-down kingdom overturns our obsession with status, power, and belonging, revealing a King whose authority is expressed through humility and whose reign is defined by love. At the heart of Christmas is not spectacle, but this simple and staggering truth: Jesus came because He loves you. As the year closes and the noise builds, Advent calls us to pause, bow like the Magi, and let the love of the true King reshape our hearts, our lives, and our hopes for what’s ahead. 🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au

  8. Advent: Joy to the World — Mark Sayers

    12/14/2025

    Advent: Joy to the World — Mark Sayers

    In this Advent message, Mark Sayers reframes the Christmas story as far more than a sentimental scene, revealing it instead as the decisive moment in a cosmic battle. Through the life of Isaac Watts and the deeper meaning behind Joy to the World, Mark shows that Christ’s coming is not only about a baby in a manger, but about the defeat of evil, the silencing of accusation, and the victory of joy rooted in truth. Drawing from Revelation 12, he reminds us that while darkness still lashes out through lies, fear, and shame, the dragon has already been defeated by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Advent, then, becomes a season not just of remembrance, but of resistance—where we preach the gospel to our own hearts, stand firm in our Christ-given identity, and live as people marked not by circumstances, but by unshakeable joy in Jesus’ victory. 🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au
