It all takes time, and a lot is on the fly, but if there is a change for 30seconds of focus at dinner time to teach them about Jesus - they will take it! #wearecityonahill #parentsofcoah

18.01.2022 The blessings of family and work have been a great joy this year. My wife (Anna) and I celebrated our seventh anniversary earlier this year. The companionship and support that I experience everyday through Anna is magnanimous and nothing short of miraculous. Our two girls fill our lives with the greatest measure of sleep deprivation joy, and I have had the opportunity to brush up on speed rapping the full canon of Dr. Seuss literary masterpieces in under 40 minutes to two ver...y enthusiastic younger readers. It has also been an exciting academic year in 2020 with the publication of my most recent book, Numismatics and Greek Lexicography. That book presents the culmination of 10 years of my research on Greek inscriptions on Roman coinage from the first century and how they can help us understand the ancient Greek of the New Testament, in all its variety, colour, and cultural nuance. In writing that volume I even had the opportunity to consult the collections of ancient coins in a variety of European museum collections. I have also been grateful for the opportunity to conduct research and write another 100,000 words on my next book which looks at the contribution of Greek papyri for better understanding the infancy narratives in the Gospels, tantus labor non sit cassus (translation, may such labour not prove in vain). I am deeply appreciative for my students at the university who keep coming back for lectures despite the non-hilarious nature of the delivery. My students continue to teach me new things every week. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training keeps my mind and body in-check and I have enjoyed the challenge of staying alive when sparing with my training partners. The majority of 2020, however, has seen two much younger and more inexperienced challengers in our lounge room on the home front. But above all the greatest blessing this year has been to experience God’s love and grace, and having the scriptures come alive in all their majestic simplicity (and complexity) as I have read and studied them in the early hours of the morning. - Michael #wearecityonahill #graceinisolation

18.01.2022 Tomorrow we are having Communion during our service, so make sure you have your red drink of choice and some bread! Tag someone below who always forgets about Communion; we all know someone! #wearecityonahill #cityonahilldigital

17.01.2022 When lockdowns struck for the second time in July, it hit everyone hard, but some people especially hard. At City on a Hill we believe God has called all Christians to shine His light of love and mercy to those around us. When we heard that there were hundreds of overseas and interstate students stuck inside their tiny student accommodation for 23 hours a day, many without income and local community, our hearts broke. We partnered with Christian Union, the campus ministry on ...the ground at Swinburne Uni in Hawthorn, to help bring a message of hope and love to these students. Last week we with leaders from Christian Union delivered 35 care packs to these students, full of snacks and food to let them know that they are loved. We also invited them to connect with City on a Hill through our digital services and Gospel Communities, and to the CUcommunity. It’s our prayer that God would do much more than feed people with these packs, but that he would bring them into a relationship with him through this difficult time. Please be praying for these students. And if you would like help with future student care initiatives, please send your expressions of interest to coah.co/help #wearecityonahill #christianunion #manyrooms

16.01.2022 Episode 29, we have had the bible read over us more Tuesdays this year than we haven't in 2020. Thanks Graeme!

16.01.2022 Britt and Em have done a lot of thinking and reading about Sabbath, and while they are far from experts, they do want to talk about some of the things they have learned and implemented, and hopefully that helps all of us in our journey towards Sabbathing regularly and healthily. #wearecityonahill #letstalkaboutsabbath

16.01.2022 We have found the Messiah (that is, the Christ). John 1:41 Christmas Challenge: Share a picture of your christmas tree! Not up yet? Today is the day!... #wearecityonahill #coahchristmaschallenge

15.01.2022 Remember that time that Dave called Winnie the Pooh "a bit full of himself", yeah us too! It was such a great night to gather all together on zoom, God was kind to allow technology to work, the word to be spoken faithfully by Dave, we were prayed over by Nat and René and Michael led us in worship. It was a huge team effort, and we can't wait to do it again! ... #tbt #werecityonahill #wearecityonahill #sundaynightlive

15.01.2022 One year ago I was working in fashion, designing cute slippers and fluffy dressing gowns (my current work uniform). If you’d told me that the following year I’d be doing a ministry internship ONLINE I would definitely not have believed you. That’s exactly what I ended up doing. In a series of events that only can be described as a swift move of the Holy Spirit I find myself writing a reflection on my time in ministry in 2020. After the early news of church moving online, my i...nitial thought was oh well, there’s always next year to do it, but I was challenged to trust God and continue even if it wasn’t how I would have planned my internship. At the beginning of the year we read The Trellis and the Vine, a book that taught us that gospel growth happens through people and that the structures we build in ministry only support that growth. In hindsight it was the perfect preparation for the year, when structures and normality crumble around us it forces us to tend to the vine; people who Jesus died for. During my interning year I’ve been able to help host Alpha Online, run a women’s event with Britt and read the Bible with women who I wouldn’t usually get to hang out with. All things that are unique to ministry online! This year it has been hard to make plans, forcing me to remember that ministry is as much about who you are becoming as it is about what you are doing. God knew exactly the way He was going to work within me; and that was to remove all the shiny objects around me to allow me to rest in who I am in Him. It’s been a practice every day to turn to God and say I don’t know what tomorrow, next week or next month looks like - but I’ll trust you anyway. God has taught me that my plans may fail and turn on their heads but His always remain. This year isn’t a shock to God - He is weaving it ever so purposefully into His eternal plan to bring us all closer to Him. - Georgina #wearecityonahill #graceinsolation

15.01.2022 Oops! We messed up last week! So TODAY we are having Do Not Keep Silent on Zoom. Come along, bring your guitars [we're looking at you Brenton and Bryce] and your keyboards [Kenneth!] and your wonderful voices [everyone else!!]. ... #DNKSsingalong

14.01.2022 "Father, thank you for the promise to be God with us, and for the fulfilment of sending Jesus. May we always remember that you are with us, and that you are for us, and that that means that none can stand against us." Catch up on yesterdays sermon from Nick Coombs in week 4 of Isaiah - Whom Shall I Send on your favourite podcast app, or on Youtube. #wearecityonahill #cityonahilldigital #whomshallisend

11.01.2022 Oh Lord, we don't need human rescuing, we need Jesus. We have sinned and failed short; Father thank you for Jesus and for his faithful sacrifice and resurrection - for our salvation. Why should we gain from this reward? We cannot give an answer. But this we know with all our hearts - His wounds have paid our ransom.

11.01.2022 Psalms or Taylor Swift? Harder than you'd think. Much like a Taylor Swift album, the Psalms are full of lament, angst and beautiful poetry. But unline a Taytay album, the Psalms lifts our eyes to the Lord, no matter the season we are in. ... Come along on Sunday night to City Women Unite and lets learn together about how the Psalms and being in the presence of God is good for whatever season you are in.

10.01.2022 "So why not plan to just take a day? What’s stopping you? Spend it learning how to rest with the best teacher that ever lived.

Sounds slightly counter productive on the outside - but check out her blog to see how its actually not! ... https://orderly.blog/

08.01.2022 This season has made me realise how much of my identity I had placed in the success of my plans. In created things, rather than the Creator. It has forced me to reassess how I see God. Do I only praise Him when things are going well? Or will I continue to praise Him in my disappointment and confusion? ‘Going with the flow’ isn’t my forte. I like everything to be planned out, but this pandemic has shown that we have very little control over our lives. Everyone I know has had ...their lives turned upside down. The mourning of jobs lost, separation from loved ones, and fears for those who are unwell. I know it's going to be okay. Not because I feel okay, not because the numbers add up, not because I know the solution. But because I have faith that God is in control, and that He can be my joy and strength in all circumstances. I’m grateful to have work. I’m grateful for blue skies, good books, and freshly baked cookies. I’m grateful for Netflix and Uber Eats. When I attend Alpha on Tuesday nights, I’m so encouraged to see everyone zooming in to discuss life’s big questions together. God is amazingly generous. When we give up our time and effort to serve others, I’ve always found that He blesses us ten-fold in return. Don’t get me wrong, there are days I don’t feel up to it. But those are the days I’m most amazed by how God works. When I have nothing in the tank, it’s clearer than ever that anything I achieve is through God’s grace and His strength alone. It’s never been about what we bring to the table. The cross makes it clear that God is the one who does all the work, and makes the impossible possible. But He chooses to work through ordinary people like us. And that feels like such a privilege, that the Creator of the universe wants us to be part of His work. - Rach #wearecityonahill #graceinisolation

07.01.2022 Men, it’s time. What for? You know what for. Let’s gather for a MEN’S NIGHT to pray, be challenged by God’s word, and to encourage one another....

06.01.2022 Psalm 103 is a special song, designed to transport us to the presence of God. David writes "Bless the Lord, O my soul" so that his whole being would praise the Lord. Sometimes we forget, or situations distract us, but that is why we have this Psalm, as a reminder, to lift our eyes to the Lord, the one who heals, redeems and satisfies our soul. Isn't He kind?
