25.01.2022 4 words in 4 weeks beginning this Sunday... What does it mean for our identity that God's children have been predestined, called, justified and glorified? We're looking at these words from Romans 8:28-30 starting Sunday

25.01.2022 I’d imagine that at some point during every generation, people would wonder if things could get any worse. I’m reading the classic piece of Aussie literature, A fortunate Life by A.B Facey at the moment. ‘Berts’ life is so incredibly hard that I feel my own generation is just soft. Imagine working from dawn to dusk from the age of 8. [ 654 more words ] http://arawanganglican.com.au//a-year-to-pause-spend-time/

23.01.2022 Over the last two weeks we have been looking at the fact that God expresses himself through his Word. We can only know God because he expresses himself. You’ll no doubt remember that he has expressed himself in creation, in the bible, in the gospel and most fully in his Son Jesus. After last week’s blog, someone asked to me, I believe that the bible is God’s Word, but how do we know that we are interpreting it correctly? This is an excellent question and so I thought I’d write about it for the next few blogs. [ 1,121 more word ] http://arawanganglican.com.au//the-bible-can-i-be-sure-of/

23.01.2022 A glorious and heart warming truthOver the next few blogs we are going to think about a glorious, heart warming truth. We are going to be thinking about the sovereignty of God. The reason why we’re looking at this now is because soon in Hebrews we are going to open a can of worms! That can is this: Can we lose our salvation?

18.01.2022 This Sunday we are back to our normal times. 8.00 am and 9.45 am.

16.01.2022 Our Women on Wednesday (WOW) group have produced Christmas hampers for distribution in December via our Arawang Emergency Relief Program. The program runs each Monday morning, providing emergency food and personal care items, from 9.30 - 12.30pm in the Church building.

15.01.2022 A Bible translating missionary in South Africa had great difficulty translating the word ‘faith’. He resolved to leave a gap every time the word came up while he thought about the best way to communicate what ‘faith’ meant. One day a runner came sprinting in with a very important message from the next village along. Panting, the runner handed over the message, then collapsed into a hammock utterly exhausted.

14.01.2022 Dear sisters and brothers of Arawang,Last week someone from our church family asked the question: What does the biblical word, ‘Word’ actually mean? It’s a great question and so I thought I’d use this question as the basis for my blog this week. At one level, it’s a really easy answer: the biblical word ‘logos’, which we often render ‘word’ means exactly what we would expect: the noise we make or the letters we write to express information.

11.01.2022 The golden chain: Romans 8:30, NIV: "And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified." ...

11.01.2022 Dear Sisters and Brothers of Arawang, Yesterday our Diocese had a communication from Bishop Mark that following the Prime Minister’s measures to combat the COVID-19 virus the Anglican Bishops of NSW/ACT had decided that no public church services will be held until further notice. For us, this is effective immediately. For rural dioceses and smaller rural parishes this comes into effect next week. [ 1,498 more word ] http://arawanganglican.com.au/2020/03/19/home-church-hubs/

10.01.2022 Gus’ blog - Weakness in mission Some of you might be aware that I am doing some research at the moment. I’m a few years in and I have a few years to go. My subject area is The inefficiency of God and vulnerability in Christian leadership. It’s a provocative title but I pray that by reflecting on the way that God works in his world, we might as his church, be less burdened as we seek to serve him.

09.01.2022 Over the last few weeks I’ve begun the exciting process of collecting my own thoughts about what our church values might be. What do we value? Generally speaking, we already know the answers, don’t we? We value the bible and sound Christ-centred teaching. We value the sacraments, corporate and private prayer, Spirit filled and ordered worship services, our Anglican heritage. We value each other and therefore genuine redemptive relationships and a sense of family, we value each other’s gifts, we value commitment and faithfulness, we value servant hearted service of others.

07.01.2022 For today’s blog we look at the other side of the coin from 2 weeks ago. What’s the coin? The coin is the tension between God’s sovereignty on the one side and on the other, human responsibility. The first side of the coin we looked at was the sovereignty of God in our salvation. That is, God is totally in control of our salvation from beginning to end. [ 2,198 more words ] http://arawanganglican.com.au/2020/07/18/the-salvation-coin/

06.01.2022 "Corona" comes from crown: who's actually King?I pray this finds you all well given all the changes we’re facing. I have been praying the evening prayer: Be present, O merciful God, protect us so that we who are wearied by the changes and chances of this fleeting world, may repose upon thy eternal changelessness; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

05.01.2022 After bible study last night, I got home and watched the late night news. The CEO of FairTrade Australia and New Zealand was being interviewed. Once again I was tempted to despair as I was reminded of the evils of the chocolate industry. I was reminded that today there are more slaves than ever before in history, that children are still trafficked for harvest labour on the cocoa farms.

05.01.2022 In my life stage - with 4 kids, there are plenty of games. Dad, would you like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini? Dad, if you were stuck on an island, what is the one thing you would take with you? Dad, would you prefer.? Only a few months ago we had to think a little bit like this for real! We were warned by the SES that we might need to evacuate our home because of the fires. [ 920 more words ] http://arawanganglican.com.au//thursday-blog-lord-increas/

02.01.2022 Last week we began exploring what the Biblical notion of ‘Word’ means. The Bible asserts that God has spoken and revealed himself. He has done that through his Word. We saw that we all express ourselves using words and God is no different. God has expressed himself first when he created the heavens and the earth by speaking his Word. Secondly, God expressed himself through his Son, the Word of God made flesh. [ 1,388 more word ] http://arawanganglican.com.au//the-god-who-expresses-hims/
