25.01.2022 Just a reminder to keep worshipping throughout the week! Why don't we take some time today to do a little dance of praise for the Lord. Whether it be in the quiet of your bedroom, or together as a family, let's take a page out of the Israelites' book and do a little celebratory dance!

25.01.2022 Our FGAM Chinese Church is gathering this Sunday, 29th November at Doncaster! Enjoy the outdoors with the sun shining on you and celebrate the privilege to meet people in person again! If you know anyone interested, bring them along at 10.30am! Please bring your own food if you can, otherwise we have a picnic box prepared for you! For more info, please feel free to contact James at 0433 030 710.

24.01.2022 We may experience darkness, loss, or suffering in the world but God's character is good. He brings light and mercy to those who choose to patiently trust in Him, just as Job did. Let's converse with God today and believe in breakthrough for any situation, and look up to His faithfulness in our lives. #godisfaithful #godistrustworthy #believeinhim #toughtimes #challenges #perseverance... #livingthroughhardship #suffering #patience #godislight #devotion #fgammelbourne See more

23.01.2022 Our final 1830 represent is Stephan Shun! As we take time to read the different responses from each generation, it's also important to reflect on our own responses to these questions. How do you make Christ relevant to your lives and reach out to those around you? What's your favourite activity/hobby when you've got some spare time? Some sports like Basketball and Tennis. Love playing some video games with my spare time too.... What are some of your best ways to reach out to your non-Christian friends/family? I like inviting my friends to church events or to life group. But for me I’ve found that being able to be available to them and hang out intentionally gives me an opportunity to be a light to them, and can allow me to reach out to them through conversations. How do you make Christ relevant to your daily life these days? Prayer and talking to God often can be really big. It allows me to stay connected with Christ even when sometimes I don’t feel like it or if I’m too involved with what’s going on in life.

22.01.2022 Through it all - Hillsong Worship God works in mysterious ways and sometimes we need to take a step back to glance at the masterpiece he has woven in our lives. He has been with us every step of the way in the past and He continues to hold our hand through the mountain climbs, straight roads and twisty turns ahead. ... Enjoy a mid week worship with your Father and Creator, who will see you through to the other side. #hillsongworship #praisestoGod #abbafather #godisfaithful #seemethrough #godmystrength #praiseandworship #fgammelbourne

18.01.2022 Worship Reminder! Why have so many things to be grateful for, and we must remember to never take them for granted. Why don't we take a couple of minutes to worship God by writing down a prayer of gratitude in our notes or journals!

15.01.2022 In Christ we have true freedom. Being a servant of God is actually freeing from sin and the darkness that we can so easily become ensnared by in this world. Sometimes we can displace time with God, and spend too much focus on worldly activities, media, and fads that are actually destructive to our health and faith over time. Do you desire a life of abundance? Then commit to God's goodness today. When we choose to live a life of servanthood, loving God and those around us, w...e are choosing to live God's very best for our lives. #freeatlast #freedom #servanthood #lifeinabundance #godsgoodness #devotion #fgammelbourne

15.01.2022 ~ Hosanna by Hillsong Worship~ We pray for a revival in our homes and our communities. We pray for those who have been struggling in this season to turn their troubles to you Lord. We pray that pain and suffering will be released and that they will be lifted up as testimonies to your glory. Hear our hearts cry, oh Lord and we thank you for your never ending, unconditional love.

14.01.2022 Welcome back to another week at FGA! We hope you had a blessed Easter last week. To continue on as an encouragement, here is a verse from 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11! For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. ... We look forward to seeing you this week! #fgamelbourne #fgam #melbourne #melbournechurch #planyourweekatfga

13.01.2022 Let’s not forget what Christmas is truly about. We’ve been blessed to be a blessing. This year hasn’t been an easy year for many, so let’s make Christmas (the day Christ was born) a massive reason to celebrate and spread joy to: - children/families less fortunate - men/women behind bars and their families - women and children who experienced domestic violence ... So add one or two or ten more to your Christmas list this year! We are aiming to give away 185 x $50 Christmas hampers and 200 x $50 supermarket vouchers to Temcare, Operation Stitches, Prison Fellowship, Kara House, and Friends of Dismas.

11.01.2022 God we worship You and send You our utmost thanks for Your son Jesus who was born over 2000 years ago. This Christmas day we reflect on Your goodness. God you are our provider, and You have gifted us Jesus who covers all burden, shame and sin. Your love covers people who may be lonely, those who are separated from family and friends, and those who are hurting. ... We magnify You and Jesus today and pray that this Christmas all will be touched by your ultimate gift, Jesus! Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas everyone! #christmasday #saviourwasborn #jesussaves #godislove #fgamelbourne

11.01.2022 ~ Build My Life by Hillsong ~ There is only one God, and he is forever sovereign. He is of such grace and holiness that we, born as sinners are unworthy. Yet in his mercy and kindness, he has delivered us with his eternal love. We should never forget the ultimate sacrifice, and continue to look to God with wonder and awe.

10.01.2022 This week, we really do have something or everyone! Check out our Weekly Planner. A reminder that you can still register for our Christian Education classes where we have seen an amazing number of our members taking part (Register at fgam.org.au/ce). Kids Ministry have also organised a whole bunch of activities for kids to participate in this week!

09.01.2022 ~ You Deserve the Glory by Aaron Keyes ~ Sometimes, we get so used to the concept of great and powerful miracles that we are only moved by testimonies of diseases being healed, financial situations being completely turned around or God's divine timing in unique situations. But it's also important for us to acknowledge and be grateful for the miracles that can be found in the crevices of everyday life. In the miracle of how our body functions to keep us alive. In the miracle ...of flowers intuitively awakening for spring. In the miracle of God's word being so accessible at our fingertips, anywhere and anytime. It's easy to forget that the world we live in is a miracle in itself, so listen to this song the next time you go on a walk and thank God for his many miracles around us.

09.01.2022 FGA Worship Team! It's Worship Team Night TONIGHT! Fellowship, bonding, prizes, big vibes- we've got it all! See you soon!

09.01.2022 Meet Rochelle Lim from our 1830s generation! We're so blessed and inspired to have her share from her heart how Jesus is relevant to her generation! What's your favourite activity/hobby when you've got some spare time? I love exercising when I have free time! Pre-COVID you’ll find me sweating out a HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout or lunging on a reformer pilates bed! During lockdown, I have really enjoyed group workouts on Zoom with friends! This is a great w...ay to catch up with friends, check in on our mental health and also motivate each other to maintain physically active! What's your favourite food to eat? This is so hard to narrow down! My favourite foods consist of: matcha, curry puffs, fried noodles and mangosteen! What are some of your best ways to reach out to your non-Christian friends/family? I reach out to my non-Christian friends by being open about my faith and walk with Christ. When friends or colleagues ask what I did during the week, I’ll share with them that I went to church and had bible study life group. When my non-Christian friends are experiencing difficult times, I’ll share a bible verse with them and offer them prayer. Sometimes even at work I’ll play worship music in the background to my patients and colleagues, and this also serves as reminder to myself that God is with me, even in my workplace. How do you make Christ relevant to your daily life these days? Regularly spending time in God’s word allows me to gain further appreciation for His divine love and how He provides for His people, time and time again. Meditating on God’s word and His character is such a humbling experience. I am constantly reminded that we live a life of abundance and we lack nothing as His children. Surrendering each day to Christ through prayer, no matter what season we are going through, has really allowed me to experience the fullness of His love, knowing that He is the Lord of Lords and our ultimate provider. I truly believe that every good and perfect gift is from above (James 1:17) and this encourages me to live a life that is pleasing and honouring to Him.

09.01.2022 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... with Whitehorse Council to help spread some Christmas cheer and the message of Christmas! This year, we're partnering with lots of churches to present a Pop Up Christmas Carol and we, FGAM, surely want to be a part of it. There's lots of planning to be done! So if you are interested to perform acoustic instrumental sets of carols and possibly sing in a small group, please fill in the form and let us know at www.fgam.org.au/carols by the end of 12 October, 2020. Yes, that's by the end of TOMORROW!

08.01.2022 Check out our Weekly schedule! It is looking slightly more sparse this week as we gear up for our massive Multisite Sunday Service this Sunday Dec 6. We look forward to seeing you and worshipping together in person!

08.01.2022 This passage is a great reminder to sometimes pause and check with ourselves where our attention is directed. Sometimes amidst the daily schedule we race between tasks, chores, meetings, classes and our very own thoughts. During it all God wants us to stay tuned to his voice and commit our affections and heart to Him. ... Do you want to try to pause and listen to His voice today? He is the best bringer of ultimate peace after all! #devotion #whatisimportant #lifecentredongod #ourperfecter #peaceoverflowing #combatbusyness #fgammelbourne

08.01.2022 Philippines update from Pastora Gee. Thank you so much to those that have contributed to our ministry. Her full letter is below: . Our nation is still under GCQ. Majority business are closed. Limited transportation are permitted to fly the route. Some of the bus drivers are asking alms in the streets to meet their daily needs. Our government has released 2x financial help to the low income families and poor. As of now, our government has announced that all the funds are us...ed up and no more financial support from them. Our Congress is rallying to slowly open the businesses help restore and stabilize our economy. Further delay would mean economic collapse. Praise the Lord, by His amazing grace, our church is shining brighter everyday. We continue to have our live stream of our Wednesday and Sunday services. Praise the Lord for the positive feedbacks we are receiving from the viewers. We are reaching more people and families for Jesus. Our members and viewers are sharing our videos to their families, relatives and friends locally and abroad. Last April and June we were able to distribute foods packs to poor families in our community outreach including frontliners. We intend to use the solicited funds you wil raise to bless our members and poorest families and pastors around Bagong Silang, far north of Caloocan. Our members residing there are jobless since March start of quarantine. This is a slum or squatter areas where people are living hand to mouth. Our members there have been with us since we started the church. Please pray for the curving of Covid19 cases so businesses can open soon to ease unemployment problem . Also pray that soon churches will be opened to meet up every Sunday so we can minister face to face. Also the mental health issues of people. A lot are experiencing loneliness, depression and anxieties due to strict quarantine for more than six months. This is true for the seniors, adults, youths and children alike. And the adjustment of our students to home schooling. They are having hard time adjusting. Thank you for your prayers and support.

02.01.2022 As we enter the season of Advent, we are reminded that where there is darkness, loss or helplessnes in the world, there can be praise and hope in Jesus and the story of Christmas. If you or a loved one are feeling weary after what has been a tumultuous or difficult year, have a look at the character of Mary. Mary exemplifies someone going through a significant change in her circumstances and faced with insecurity and challenge, but she chooses to praise God and believe in Hi...s goodness and justice. So let's look to Mary's example to better respond to any difficult situation we are presented with. We can overcome fears and challenges through Jesus. #advent #preparingforchristmas #darknessandlight #godsgoodness #mary #storyofmary #lifechallenge #praisegod #jesus #hopeinchristmas #christmasstory #fgamelbourne #devotion

01.01.2022 A reminder that Christian Education starts tonight! For more info, please go to fgam.org.au/ce We have over 125 people currently registered for our classes. We hope to see you there!

01.01.2022 The way Jesus prayed reveals how human He really was, as well as being the divine one. He teaches us to be real and open with our Father. God hears us when we face trials and when we pour our heart to Him. Let's practice speaking to God in spirit, and allow His direction to take form in our lives. #Prayer #prayerlife #openwithgod #godswillnotmine #jesusteaching #jesuspraying #godhearsprayers #beingrealwithgod #fgammelbourne #devotion

01.01.2022 ~ Here Again by Elevation Worship ~ All while we inch closer to being in church once more, lets continue to take the time to sanctify our homes and invite the Lord to be with us in our personal places. He is always ready and waiting at the door. As you do family devotions and prayers, thank him for his goodness and grace, celebrating how he is always with us, meeting us wherever we may be.

01.01.2022 It's time to move your clock forward by one hour tonight. Here's to brighter mornings, long balmy days and more daylight to spend with loved ones! #daylightsavings #clocksforward #melbourne #fgammelbourne
