Nothing to Boast || Tim Johnson || Romans 2:17-3:8

How do you identify? Anglican? Christian? No religion? And does it matter? So far in our look at the book of Romans, we’ve seen how we all need the good news of Jesus, and that Jesus is also our ultimate judge. Today, Tim’s looking at whether or not our ‘religion’ and religious practices make a difference, or not.

Jesus Cleanses || Delle Matthews || Luke 5:12-16

Zechariah’s Song || Delle Matthews|| Luke 1:67-79

Have you ever thought – what I’ve done is too bad. Unforgivable. Irredeemable? Well simply put. You’d be wrong. With Christmas just around the corner, here’s your reminder that Jesus is our one true hope, and that nothing can separate us from the love …

Mary’s Song || Joel Snibson || Luke 1:46-56

It can be hard to see from our 2000 year of removal from the birth of Jesus, but his coming was the start of a revolution. Like all good revolutions, this one had an anthem in song: Mary’s song, that we find in Luke. Connect with us at ➜ Website: https…

Hannah’s Song || Tim Johnson || 1 Samuel 2:1-10

Today marks the start of Advent, a season of quiet anticipation for Christmas. Maybe not so quiet these days, as seasonal creep brings Christmas carols earlier and earlier, and pre-Christmas catchups mount. But as a church, we’re trying to make space f…

Miriam’s Song || Joel Snibson || Exodus 15:1-18

As we wait for Christmas, to celebrate the birth of our saviour, carols will be a big part of that. Singing to remind ourselves, and to bring praise to God for who his is and what he’s done. We’re starting a new series today looking at song from the bi…

Part of God’s Story || Tim Johnson || Colossians 3:1-14

What stories do we tell ourselves? Maybe stories of success, accomplishment, achievement. Maybe stories of failure, and an attitude of “I’m not good enough”. We’re coming to the end of our series on identity, called You Do You, and well today be explor…

Made for God || Tim Johnson || Galatians 4:4-11

We’re halfway through our You Do You series- exploring this idea of ‘expressive individualism’, and where we find our identity. Modern western culture says to find your true self, you just need to look inward. But as we’ve seen, looking inwards isn’t t…

Made for Community || Joel Snibson || 1 Peter 2:1-10

There’s a saying, that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. The idea being that we are shaped by those we interact with the most. Today we’re exploring the idea that ‘You Do You’ doesn’t work, as we’re made as people who…

Saying YES to God || Maddy Bialecki || Matthew 21:28-32

What’s more important, saying you’ll do something, or actually doing it? Today we’re hearing another story from Jesus, about the kingdom of heaven. Connect with us at ➜ Website: https://stjohnsdc.org.au ➜ Facebook: https://facebook.com/stjohnsdc ➜ In…

God’s Unfair Grace || Joel Snibson || Matthew 20:1-16

When we focus on our own work and good deeds, we can fall into the trap of comparison. Instead, let’s focus on God’s scandalous grace, bringing joy and celebration when we see others also receiving that grace! Connect with us at ➜ Website: https://stjo…
