Bringing Church to you.
On Christmas Day we look at the most wonderful "Together": of them all, A Christmas together with JESUS. It is an incredible privilege that we are able to be togethter with Jesus because of this day. Have a listen and discover just how this imp[acts our lives on a daily basis.
As we finish off the series "A Christmas Together" see how Jesus comes to both reveal the Father, and bring us to the Father. Throughout the scriptures of the Old Testament there are times when God is misunderstood and misrepresented, but in Jesus we are promised the fullest revelation of who God the Father is. Jesus even says, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father." So come and listen and discover why it is so important that we know Christmas is all about being together with the Father.
A Christmas together with the Shepherds is really interesting because they teach us so much of Jesus plan and purpose for coming intro the world. The Shepherds are the outcasts of society, yet they are the very people God chooses to reveal the birth of the Messiah to. Spending time with the Shepherds lets us know of the importance of the marginalized, the outcast, the unloved, and our role in loving and serving them in this world.
A Christmas Together with Each Other (Ep. 3) by Bundaberg Uniting Church
Today we continue looking at our series "A Christmas Together" and discovering what spending time together with the characters of the story can teach us. Today we look at Herod, and we see in Herod the opposite of Christ and the life that Christ came into this world to save us from. Come and listen as we delve into the character of Herod to see how we can avoid the temptations and seek the abundant life of Jesus instead.
"A Christmas Together" is our new Advent series. Join us this week as we spend time together with Mary and discover the sense of joy, purpose, peace and certainty that comes from submitting to God's activity in your life.
A Letter of Commitment (Ep. 6) by Bundaberg Uniting Church
New Ambitions God centered ambitions in serving and following Jesus Christ. To know Christ and the power of His resurrection. By Rev Ray Nutley.
Have you ever felt uncertain about your faith? Uncertain as to God's work in your life? Uncertain if you are doing all the right things and following all the correct requirements in Christianity. If So, then this part of Philippians is for you. Paul teaches us to be confident, in Christ, not in laws and rules and requirements and not in possessions and status and power, ...but Confident in Christ, in His Love and in His work in our lives. Have a listen.
When we know what Paul writes, it leaves us in a place where we need to choose to take responsibility and live out what he says. This sermon explores how we do that and how we take responsibility in our faith journey, in our communities and in our Church.
Our study in Philippians continues as we look at the start of chapter 2 and see how Paul has some challenging instructions for Christians everywhere.
A Letter of Purpose - live from Baldwin Swamp.
Paul's letter to the Philippians is one of the most beautiful parts of Scripture. We will be looking at this letter over the next few weeks and discovering it's beauty and relevance for us today. Today we look at its encouraging and affirming introduction.
The Scandal of Grace God's grace is freely abundant for all. God dispenses gifts/ grace not wages. Today's sermon is delivered by Rev Ray Nutley.
It's easy to be faithful when God feels close, but how are we to be faithful when those feelings are not there? When things are tough and God seems far away, how are we to be faithful then? And what does it mean to be faithful to God when the world tells us to only do what feels good in the moment? If any of these questions sound familiar, then have a listen to this message where we look at hero's of faith and find the common threads that enabled them to be faithful despite what they might have been feeling or facing in their lives.
What does it mean to be faithful? What does it mean to "Walk with God?" In this sermon, we explore the life of Enoch and look at the teachings of Jesus and Paul as we discover that faithfulness to God is not that complicated. Come and listen, and walk with God.
In the final sermon on The Lord's Prayer, we focus on the line Jesus told us to pray, "Save us from the time of trial," or "Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." We take a look at the temptations that Jesus faced and discover how praying this part of the Lord's Prayer leads to greater faithfulness as we receive God's help when faced with our own temptations.

In this important line of the Lord's Prayer, Jesus teaches us the importance of forgiveness. Forgiveness is important not only for the person who is forgiven, but also for the person who forgives. Come and listen to why forgiveness is so important and how we put it in place in our lives.

We continue the series on the Lord's Prayer as we look at the line "Give us this day our Daily Bread." As we pray this part of the prayer, we discover a God who sees life as something that is completely interconnected. We also see that God is concerned not only with our every need, but also the needs of others as we become part of seeing needs met and the Kingdom built in this world.
What does it mean to pray, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven." Join us for our fourth sermon in the series on the Lord's Prayer as we discover the nature of God's Kingdom and the role that we play in making it a reality on Earth.

In the third sermon on the Lord's prayer we look at what it means to address God as being "in Heaven" and why that is important. We also see that "Hallowed be your name" is a beautiful but also very challenging prayer to pray. Heaven and Holiness are what these two lines are all about. Have a listen...

In the second sermon in our series on the Lords Prayer, we look at just the first two words, "Our Father." For the disciples to hear Jesus telling them to call God "Father" would have been quite something. We are used to this term because we have become familiar with the Lords prayer, but the significance of calling God "Father" has some wonderful, precious truths for us to be reminded of.
Today we start a new series on the Lords Prayer. Sometimes we can say the Lord's Prayer without even pausing to really think what it means or what we are saying. Join us in this message as we discover that the Lord's Prayer is so much more than just a prayer. If prayed sincerely, this prayer can lead to a deeper connection with God and a transformed life.
As we finish our "Soul Keeping" sermon series, we look at the last thing the Soul needs, and that is to bless. The Soul needs Blessing. So often the words, "Bless you," or even "God bless you," are just said as a cliche without real thought or even knowing what we really mean. What does it mean to really bless someone? ...And what does Scripture mean when God teaches us to bless others with these words in Numbers 6: "May the Lord bless and keep you, May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord turn His face toward you, and give you peace." The Soul needs Blessing. Have a listen to see exactly what that means.
This sermon continues the "Soul Keeping" series, as we examine what the Soul needs to be healthy. In the busyness of our increasingly connected world, we see how, in one of the most loved Psalms, God tells us that healthy Souls need rest. He is waiting for an opportunity to lead us beside quiet waters where He can restore our soul.
