So where do you look when you worry? Where do you place your attention? Where do you put worried eyes?

The problem with anxiety and worry is that they take our focus and we see nothing else.

Jesus is the great God who became small for you.

Jesus is the One who put each star in place.

Jesus, for a time is unseen, is close as your breath.

Jesus has you!

Pastor Matt Thiele

Prayer grows out of hearing God’s Word.  It is about speaking with God – asking, seeking, sharing, in fact it is about bringing my whole life to God and letting him walk along with me as I live out my life.

Can I talk with God? Can I bother God with my little problems?

Yes, you can.  You are God’s child.  You are part of his family, the body of Christ.  God wants to speak to you.  And he wants to hear from you as well. And most importantly he has promised to listen!

Being a disciple of Jesus – what does it mean to you?

This Sunday Pastor Fin Klein from St Michael’s Hahndorf explores this topic via video.

The primary function of disciples is to prayer for all people. Do we pray for everyone – even those who we don’t like or don’t agree with?

Bible reading 1 Timothy 2:1-7 (NIV)

How do you feel when you hear Jesus calling you to be a ‘servant’? This seems the exact opposite of a world that encourages us to constantly promote ourselves, get ahead, accumulate ‘likes. We’ll explore some of the ways we can be a servant in 2022 suburban Adelaide, and how that can lead us to places we might not expect, and joys that can be experienced nowhere else. Shovel, sceptre, or shotgun – how will you serve?

Bible Reading: Luke 17:5-10 (NIV)

The book of Lamentations isn’t necessarily the most popular or well-known book in the Bible, but it has some important messages to teach us. A specific focus of Lamentations is the lament of the Israelite people, and they show us in this poetic book what lamenting can look like and how we should be lamenting as followers of Christ.

What does it mean to lament? Why should we lament? How does God reveal his character through our lamenting? I would love to challenge you to reconsider the way you lament, pray, and come together as followers of Christ. I look forward to sharing the message with you on Sunday and unpacking Lamentations and how it applies to us today.

A message from Pastor Steen Olsen on 18 Sep 2022.

The Church does many good things in our world and so we should. But we mustn’t neglect our core business. Paul tells us that God appointed him a herald and apostle because “our God and Saviour wants all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.”
