Red Door Caroline Springs

Reader: Graeme Miller Preacher: Tibor Tumbas Recalling the big picture message from the first week, we are ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit to witness to the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth. In today's message from Acts 4:23-31, we see how the early church, in the face of persecution, prays to God to help them to speak with boldness, and the Holy Spirit responds accordingly. Tibor teaches that we are not to pray to God as though he is a holy vending machine at our call, but to ask for boldness to represent his church just like the early church.

Reader: Judy Carr Preacher: Jonathan Smith Recalling the big picture message from the first week, we are ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit to witness to the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth. In today's message from Acts 4:1-22, we see Peter & John arrested for teaching in the name of Jesus. Facing the religious power brokers of Israel, these two men proclaim the Power Of Jesus' name by which the lame beggar was healed (see Acts 3 & last week's message). Peter goes on to proclaim that it is by Jesus' name that salvation comes, and when threatened by these powerful men to not speak in the name of Jesus again, Peter and John boldy claim that they must server God and continue to speak. Pastor Jonathan shows us that the same power, salvation and boldness is available to us. We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to speak in the name of Jesus.

Reader: Bek Hudson Preacher: Jonathan Smith Recalling the big picture message from the first week, we are ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit to witness to the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth. In today's message from Acts 3, we see Peter & John heal a man who was lame from birth. Peter and John are imitating what Jesus did - healing people in the power of The Holy Spirit. Peter then explains to everybody how and why this was able to happen. From our perspective this event shows us three important and fundamental things: 1. The forgiveness of all sins; 2. The restoration of all things; 3. The salvation of all peoples. Pastor Jonathan expounds and explores on each of these principles. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Mel Truong Preacher: Jonathan Smith Recalling the big picture message from the first week, we are ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit to witness to the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth. In today's message from Acts 2:42-47, we see how the early church lived. The people followed the teaching of the apostles, fellowshipped together, broke bread and prayed. The early church did not have the New Testament like we do today, so the teaching focussed on the Old Testament and how the scriptures pointed to Jesus. Fellowship, in the context of the early church, is a word we don't fully understand. It is MUCH more than "hangin gout" together; instead it is sacrificially giving ourselves for others. The Breaking of Bread may have meant communion, or it may have meant sharing meals together - possibly it was both. Prayer was something the early church did multiple times per day - coming from a Jewish background these people were used to praying at fixed times of the day and spontaneously. We need to think of our prayer times as unstructured. We need to schedule prayer into our daily Christian life. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Jonathan Smith Recalling the big picture message from the first week, we are ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit to witness to the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth. In today's message from Acts 2:14-41, the apostle Peter explains what the people are seeing and hearing and why it is happening. The Old Covenant has been replaced by a New Covenant, where the Holy Spirit is poured out upon all who find their lives in Jesus, no matter the circumstance. Because God sees Jesus when he looks at those who call Jesus "Lord", God will NEVER remove the Holy Spirit from us. This is new! Unlike the Old Covenant, God would give his Spirit to a few and only for a specific purpose, and once that purpose was done, he would remove his Spirit because the person was not holy and righteous. But not now! Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.

Reader: Mel Truong Preacher: Jonathan Smith Recalling the big picture message from the first week, we are ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit to witness to the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth. In today's message from Acts 2:1-13, God sends his Holy Spirit upon the apostles at Pentecost. The Holy Spirit comes like Wind and Fire, synonomous with the way God has appeared many times in the past throughout the Old Testament, and like wind, we cannot control the actions of God's Spirit. However, as a church, we need to ask ourselves if we are truly welcoming The Spirit or are we hindering The Spirit with our actions. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Graeme Miller Preacher: Jonathan Smith Recalling the big picture message from last week, we are ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit to witness to the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth. In today's message from Acts 1:12-26, the remaining 11 apostles choose a new member to bring htem back to twelve apostles. But they didn't do it in an ad-hoc manners. They consulted scripture to ensure that they should be twelve apostles, not eleven. Then they prayed and sought the counsel of others, including God. This is how it shoudl be for us as we make decisions in out lives and in the life of our church. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Gehan Periera Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today we start a new series in the Book Of Acts. This series will cover almost a year, so it will be broken down into smaller parts. The first part covers Chapters 1 through 5 and will take 10 weeks. Today Pastor Jonathan is looking at Acts 1:1-11. Jesus spends forty days with his disciples preparing them for when he will ascend back to Heaven and to empower them with the Holy Spirit. The big picture message from this week is like the disciples, we are ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit to witness to the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth.

Reader: Bek Hudson Preacher: Jonathan Smith It's Resurection Sunday, or more comonly called Easter Sunday. The greatest day of the Christian calendar, the day Jesus rose from the dead.

The Road by Red Door Church

Reader: Bek Hudson Preacher: John Hudson Today John looks into Isaiah 49:1-16 - The Servant Of The Lord, where God shows that his servant is here to redeem the whole earth, not just Israel, and if we ever think that God doesn't really love us, John dispels these thoughts by using this scripture.

Reader: Levi Dacion Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today Pastor Jonathan finishes the series on generosity. Like anything, to be good at it, you need to practice, so today Jonathan shows us four things we can practice to become more generous. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.

Reader: Judy Carr Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today Pastor Jonathan continues with part two of a three part series on generosity. Today Jonathan challenges us to look at who is the real god of our lives. Is it God or is it money and all of the materialism that goes with money? We need to be honest and admit that it's probably a mixture of both, but Jesus was clear in Matthew 6 that we cannot love both God and money. We will serve one or the other, and use the other to serve the first. Will we use money to serve God, or will we use God to serve our desire for money? It all becoames a question of the heart and leads us to "Choose Our God". Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.

Reader: Danita O'Loughlin Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today Pastor Jonathan takes us back into Genesis so we can reflect on God's generosity in creating the world and us. He then reflects on Jesus' teaching around money and asks the question "do we live with an abundance mindset or a scarcity mindset?" The answer to this question determines how generous we are. This is the first part of a three part series looking at generosity. Today we focuus on our head space around generosity, nexxt week, the heart space, and finally, purring our head and heart into action. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Preacher: Joshua Hennessy Today Pastor Josh is looking at Matthew, Ch 28:16-20, which is commonly known as The Great Commission. Jesus tells his disciples to go into the world and make disciples, teaching people about himself. We are called to do the same. Since we are truly blessed to be members of God's kingdom, surely we would want to share this goodness with others. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.

Reader: Anne Miller Preacher: Jonathan Smith Psalm 63 is a call to always praise God - especially when we are at a low point in our lives. We have a tendency to try and find other things in our lives to satisfy our needs, yet they all leave us dry and desolate, without water (Ps 63:1), but God is the fountain of never ending water. In comparison, it is ridiculous to seek these other things when God is there. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Joanna Justus Preacher: Joshua Henessey Psalm 100 is a short psalm of praise and thanksgiving, but like everything in the scriptures, it is full of depth. Josh tells us not only why we should do as the psalm says but also how we can do what the psalm says. He also shows us that Jesus not only preached what is said here, but he also lived it out. We are called to do the same. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.

Preacher: Chad Loftis Today guest preacher Chad Loftis is looking at Psalms 112 and 113. These two psalms look at the rightessnous we should live and the rightessnous of God. We may think that our rightessnous comes from us living a certain way, with high moralistic values, etc, but Chad tells us that our rightessnous comes from how we live in relationship with other people and how we treat them.

Reader: Levi Dacion Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh & Bek Today Pastor Jonathan is looking at Psalm 39. Our society today does whatever it can to avoid talking about death. Jonathan even spoke about where in the past he has spoken about death in sermons, some people reomstrated with him. The bible, however, is full of death, and this psalm is no different. If we look at death as inevitable and focus on living our lives to the fullest in Jesus and placing all our trust into God for our future, then death has no power over us, and that is very good news.

Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Bek, Josh & Susie Today Pastor Jonathan is looking at Psalm 4. David, the all powerful king, realises that he does not have the power to solve all problems. So many of our leaders today try to make us believe they can solve society's problems - economic, housing, employment, law and order. Instead, society is left more divided. David tells us that only God has the ability to solve all of our life issues, and Jonathan supports this argument as well. Putting our trust in anything other than God and his son is idolatry.

Reader: Judy Carr Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Red Door Worship Team Today Pastor Jonathan is looking at Psalm 46. This psalm opens with the verse "God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble". At certain times in our lives it feels like God is not there, but he is. God also commads us in verse 10 to "Stop fighting, and know than I am God." Other translations have this verse as reading "Be still, and know that I am God." Jonathan hints that what we are fighting is the busyness, hurry and overload in our lives. God commands us to stop fighting this busyness. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Daniel Yong Preacher: Josh Hennessy Music: Josh Hennessy & Bek Hudson Today Josh is teaching from Psalm 36. It seems that this psalm is telling us that evil people will be punished and those who follow God are blessed, however Josh asks us to look deep into this psalm. Jesus told people that many who claim to follow him will be rejected because they are following a God of their own making and not truly following him. This is the crux of this psalm - if we are only following God for the things he brings to us and not truly following him with our heart and soul, then we are one of the people Jesus says "I never knew you. Depart from me, you lawbreakers" (Matt 7:23). However, if we are doing our best to make God the centre of our life then we can only marvel at the blessings of God in this psalm where his faithful love reaches to heaven (v5) and his righteousness is like the highest mountain (v6) Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Gehan Pereria Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Henessey Today Pastor Jonathan is teaching from Psalm 146, a psalm which starts with the command Hallelujah! Literally, this word means "All of you, praise the Lord", and with the exclamation point, it's a command. When we read this, we often take it one of two ways - with pride because we are praising God daily, or with dispair because we are not. Jonathan teaches us that we're looking at this wrong. In John's gospel (Jn 17:4), Jesus says that he's completed everything God has asked him to do. This statement is BEFORE his crucifixion and resurrection, so what is Jesus referrring to here? He is referring to the way that he has lived his life in constant praise of God, and so, as being members of the body of Christ, we can worship and praise God freely. Jesus is the leader, and we are just a part of the choir, where the sound of all voices together in praise is beautiful. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Danita O'Loughlin Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today we start our twelfth year of exploring the Psalms during the summer break. Pastor Jonathan is teaching from Psalm 30, a psalm where David looks at how great things are when he's walking with God, but also how bad things are when he turns from God. The message from this psalm is that even though he was far from God at the time he wrote this, David turned back to God. The same applies to us. When things are going very good in our lives, it's then that we have a tendency to turn away from God, and then fall into sin, but God, in his mercy, disciplines us to bring us back into right relationship with him.

Preacher: Josh Henessey Today is Christmas Day, and in this message Josh goes back to the start of creation. This seems like a strange place to start when it's Christmas. Shouldn't we start at the birth of Jesus? No, Josh wants us to understand why Jesus was born, so we can marvel more at what God has done for us.

Reader: Jonathan Smith Preacher: Doug Carr Music: Josh Henessey Today is Christmas Eve, and in this final message from our series of The Women Of Advent, Doug tells us of the story of Mary, a young woman who would have been ostracised by her culture for being unmarried and pregnant. Yet throughout this whole series we have seen how God has incorporated women considered "scandalous" by their society into his redemption plan for the world. We can take comfort in this, particularly when we recognise that we are not righteous, but God in his grace, still chooses to use us for his plans and glory.

Reader: Marios Kyriakou Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Henessey & Bek Hudson This week is the fourth week of Advent for 2024. Today Pastor Jonathan is looking into how Bathsheba fits into the birth of Jesus, exploring no matter how broken people are in their behaviour, God can and does use these very people to bring about his plans.

Reader: Levi Dacion Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Henessey & Joanna Justus This week is the start of Advent for 2024.

Reader: Gehan Pereira Preacher: Jonathan Smith This week Jonathan is preaching from Luke 18:1-8. This short parable reveals that as we wait for Christ's return, Christians will suffer injustice. Unlike the judge in the parable, God is just and will eagerly hear and answer our pleas for help. Our part is to persevere in prayer. Today we are doing something a bit different. Normally we end the sermon with a song that is reflective of what we have just heard, however, we end today's message with prayer for the persecuted church around the world, keeping in line with the teaching from this parable.

Reader: Doug Carr Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Leslie Edis & Josh Henessey The Parable of the Prodigal Son reveals that God's love and grace is immense beyond our wildest dreams. Irrespective of the mess we have made of our lives, his overwhelming desire is to welcome us home with open arms. However, as per all of Jesus's parables, there is more to ths story than we normally think. This story is actually about TWO lost sons - the 'bad' son who squandered his father's wealth, and the 'good' one who stayed home. The church is like the 'good' son - at times thinking we are better than others, when in reality we are not, and so therefore miss out on the overwhelming desire of God to welcome us into the party as well.

Reader: Anne Miller Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Henessey, John Hudson & Bek Hudson Today Pastor Jonathan looks at the parable of The Grand Banquet. Jesus turns the social norms of the first century ancient world upside down when he says that we shouldn't invite people to our social events because they can return the favour to us. Instead, we should invite those who can never repay the favour. God's kingdom is exactly like this. God has invited us to the everlasting party that will be in heaven, but there is absolutely no possible way we could repay him. We are the the poor, maimed, blind and lame in this parable because we are spiritually poor, maimed by the power of sin, blinded from seeing the truth and lame because we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven on our own.

Reader: Danita O'Loughlin Preacher: Jonh Hudson Music: Josh Henessey, Joanna Justus & Bek Hudson Today John looks at the parable of The Good Samaratin. Often times we look at this parable and hope we can be like the Good Samaratin, but John wants us to look at this parable from a differant perspective. What if we are the person who was robbed, the victim who the Good Samaratin helped? If Jesus symbolises the Good Samaratin, do we recognise the full grace and sacrifical love we have been given, like the Good Samaratin has provided to the robbed man?

Reader: Marios Kyriakou Preacher: Josh Henessey Music: John Hudson, Josh Henessey & Natalie Tumbas Today Josh gives Red Door Church his testamony, and part of that is how two young men discipled him when he was a teenager. The unconditionally gave their time and other resources to help Josh understand who he is in God's Kingdom. There was a cost involved by these 2 men - a cost that Josh couldn't repay, and a cost these men did not expect to be repaid. Being a follower of Jesus and loving other people like he did has a cost. Are we prepared to really offer costly sacrifices to be a follower of Jesus? Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Mel Truong Preacher: John Hudson Music: Josh Henessey, Joanna Justus & Bek Hudson Today John continues in a three week mini-series on the Book Of Job. Today's message is titled 'Miserable Comforters'. Job's friends initially sit with Job to bring him comfort, but then they try to solve why Job is suffering - saying he must have sinned and so he is being punished. John points out the error in their thought process. It is a similar trap that we can fall into, so John points out how we should respond when we face trials and sufferings.

Reader: Levi Dacion Preacher: John Hudson Music: Josh Henessey, Joanna Justus & Bek Hudson Today John starts a three week mini-series on the Book Of Job. Today's message is titled 'Questions Of Suffering'. John does not try to solve the question of why God allows suffering, but by the same token, he does not give the stock standard cliche responses that are often heard when this difficult topic is breached. Interestingly, even though Job suffers, it is God hwo allows Satan just enough rope that Satan hangs himself. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Judy Carr Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Henessey & Natalie Timbus Today Pastor Jonathan compares the person King David was and what he was meant, to be to King Jesus. David was tempted and gave in to his sin; Jesus was tempted but did not. David was punished for his sin; Jesus was punished for ours. Finally, David was pardoned from his sin because of the sacrifice he made; we are pardoned from our sins because of the blood bought sacrifice Jesus made.

Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: John & Bek Hudson, Joanna Justus Today's message is hard, however it is in the Bible, so we need to navigate this hard truth and understand both why this story is there and what is its purpose. The story of then rape of Tamar by her half-brother Amnon is full of evil. It proves that as a society, we are no different to the ancient Israelites. Sexual violence is too prevalent in our society. Pastor Jonathan encourages people who have been affected by te evil of sexual violence to come to Jesus for healing and hope. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Graeme Miller Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Henessey, Leslie Edis & Bek Hudson From the peak where David had God's heart in establishing the kingdom as a nation governed by God's law, he gives into his desires and has an adulterous relationship with another man's wife. When things go wrong (Bathsheba is pregnant), David schemes to cover the affair, ultimately leading to the murder of Bathsheba's husband Uriah. We are no different. When tempted by sin we can give in to it, or we can turn away. If we give in to the sin, we can repent and turn away or we can continue down the slippery road of no return. The choice is ours, and how we respond defines how we truly place our faith and trust in God. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Leslie Edis, Joanna Justus & Josh Henessey David had God's heart in establishing the kingdom as a nation governed by God's law, and in dealing justly with his people.

Reader: Anne Miller Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Henessey David thought is was God's will for him to build God a temple. It wasn't. So, how do we discern God's will? Jonathan explores how we can discern God's will for our lives, but we also need to realise that we also need to act in faith, and if it isn't God's will, he will redirect our plans to his. David wanted to build God a house but God redirected David's will to his own plan, which is far greater. Isn't this the same for us? Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Preacher: Jonathan Smith After failing to bring the Ark Of The Covenant to Jerusalem in the past, David learns from the past and transported the ark the way God instructed. After taking the first tentative six steps, he stopped and worshipped God. Like us, David recognised that there is nothing he could do to stand in the presence of the Holy God, but in God's mercy and compassion, He has provided the way.

Reader: Mel Truong Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Hennesey We begin our new series in the book of 2 Samuel in chapters 1-2. The previous king of Israel, King Saul is dead, along with his son, Jonathan. David's response is to grieve the death of the man (Saul) who tried to kill him. He is then anointed king over Judah (the southern kingdom of Israel). We'll learn more about 2 Samuel and King David in general, and we'll focus on the theme of ‘anointing' which is central to the book. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.
