Holy God, we gather on this Palm Sunday and find ourselves in solidarity with the crowds who shouted for salvation. We know our needs, both individually and collectively. Our hunger for righteousness and justice compels us to proclaim, “Hosanna! Save us!” two thousand years later. As we begin this journey toward the cross, from admiration to despair, we know we are well-nourished for the path ahead. You have prepared us, fed us with love and truth, and refreshed our spirits throughout the Lenten season. Let us carry the spirit of Hosanna in our hearts, ready to serve and love, knowing the journey continues toward resurrection and renewal. May the bread we break, both physical and spiritual, remind us of your presence in every step. Guide us on this path and sustain us for the work ahead. Amen.

The Gift of God – It’s Grace that Unites Us

These words are the theme of our service today and of the church convention which is meeting in Adelaide in these days. It is based on Ephesians 2:8-10, and on the unity words of Ephesians 4. The very Good News is that through the Holy Spirit we are all baptised into the body of Christ, and saved entirely by grace, as a totally free gift. We are gathered into this one body for a purpose. That purpose is to do the good works of loving God and loving one another. We certainly do not do these Good Works in order to be saved, but as a response to being saved. Jesus calls us to go and live the way of love as we spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth, until Jesus comes again. We are called to go until Jesus comes.
