For Sunday the 18th November - 8.30am

We had the joy this past Sunday to witness God at work in Holy Baptism. Liliana Jowy received new birth by water and the Spirit and was received into the Kingdom of God in the midst of great joy. Here’s some photos of God's Kingdom coming in our very midst:



We are thankful for the presence of Michael Jang from the Dandenong congregation who translated the sermon and spent time with our African brothers and sisters following the service.

This coming Sunday (18th November) our readings focus on being prepared for the coming of the Lord Jesus. This area of Christian teaching is subject to all sorts of false teaching that fills people with dread and fear. To be sure a time of judgement is coming, but the Lord Himself offers hope and comfort through the prophet Malachi when He declares: “But for you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings.”

Judgment has come and gone for those who like Lily, are now in Christ. Our thoughts this week focus on our watching and waiting for the coming of the Lord as we trust in Him for forgiveness and life, and look forward to the perfect healing He will bring on the last day.

Divine Service will begin at 8.30am.

The Lord be with you,
Pastor Matt
