23.01.2022 A word for Wednesday from Rev Peter Arnett The commencement of each letter to the seven churches contains a word of affirmation, followed by a word of correction, or warning. To the church at Thyatira, John writes these words of commendation for the love, faith, service and perseverance demonstrated by Gods people, as well the recognition that they are growing in these areas, achieving more for the Kingdom of God than ever before. However, there is a pervasive element of... idolatory and sexual immorality that is evident within the Christian community. John refers to this as the spirit of Jezebel. Jezebel became the Queen of Israel when she married King Ahab and her exploits are detailed in 1 Kings chapters 16, 18.19 & 21 in which she leads the nation to worship Baal and has the prophets of Yahweh killed. In the western world we are prone to the temptations of idolatory and sexual immorality. The lure of material possessions, fame, wealth and power, are a seductive influence over many people, including those of us who profess a genuine faith in Jesus Christ. Sexuality is an alluring thread woven through the tapestry of contemporary society. Sexuality is utilised in advertising, prominent in movies, television programs and popular music. The lines between human sexuality and pornography have become blurred in our culture and are a great temptation for many people to objectify other human beings for their own sexual gratification. Let us encourage and inspire one another to grow in love, faith, service, and the perseverance to pursue holiness. Reading: Revelation 2:18-29 #dailydevotional #bible

23.01.2022 Important News There wont be in-person worship at Glebe Road this Sunday. Out of an abundance of caution were going to share in worship only via live stream for both the 8:15 and 10:15 services. While we wait to see what happens with recent COVID-19 cases in our area, were hopeful that we might be able to gather together again the following week (6 September). That will be confirmed next week. ... In this time of waiting, please continue to uphold each other in prayer and give thanks for Gods great faithfulness.

23.01.2022 A Word for Wednesday from Rev Peter Arnett Do you remember falling in love? Perhaps the memories and feelings are recent, or they may seem a reality from a long time ago. The fervour of new love can be a powerful, dynamic, creative, energising and inspiring force. A part of the revelation the Apostle, John, received from the Lord was a prophetic message to each of the seven churches of Asia. The first was to the Church at Ephesus in which the Lord affirms the persever...ance, hard work, endurance, and intolerance of wicked behaviour, that the Ephesians have consistently demonstrated. This is a word of strong affirmation. However, it appears the Ephesian Church had lost its passion and deep love for the Lord. The people had forsaken their first love which was for Christ. While they continued to do good work it appeared to be generated by a sense of obligation, or habit, rather than a heart-felt commitment to Christ. Its time for a heart check-up. Is your love for Christ still motivating all that you do in life? If not, what changes do you need to make to rekindle that love from an ember to a flame? If its helpful, ask someone you trust to assist you with this. Seek their encouragement, inspiration, or their willingness to hold you accountable. Just do it!

18.01.2022 A word for Wednesday from Rev Peter Arnett The second church to whom John is instructed to write a message is that of Smyrna. Smyrna is the only one of the seven cities still in existence. Its modern name is Izmir, on the eastern shore of the Aegean Sea. Izmir is the third most populous city in modern day Turkey. The church at Smyrna faced severe persecution. The saints were rich spiritually but they suffered tribulation and were poor. Poverty and persecution tend to go t...ogether. Many times persecuted people are unable to get a job or otherwise engage in normal economic activities. The persecution was severe enough that some even faced death. Christ exhorts the saints not to be afraid. The Spirit tells them that those who overcome will receive a crown of life. At times the faith of the saints must stand severe tests, but God is always with them to sustain them in desperate hours. At the conclusion of this letter the Spirit reminds all the churches that there is something worse than physical death. There is a "second death," a final separation forever from Gods plan, Gods promises, Gods love, Gods mercy, and Gods grace. This is further explained in Revelation 20:11-15. All who trust in Christ need not fear death. Reading: Revelation 2:8-11 #dailydevotional #bible

11.01.2022 Thought for the week from Rev. Peter Arnett Last Friday, 23rd July 2020, was to be the date of the Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony. Arrhhhgggg COVID-19! The hours of training and the precision of preparation in facilitating each athlete to attain their peak performance on their specific days of competition. Everything now postponed for twelve months. Everything, that is, except the training the training continues. The writer of Hebrews speaks of over...coming setbacks and distractions in order for each of us to run the race of life unencumbered. The race we are engaged in is our life span from birth to death. Blessed are those of us participating in the marathon. May we run with perseverance and purpose. Our race is not a hampsters wheel, but a journey of faith and discovery. It is the pursuit of spiritual maturity and the personal development of Christ-likeness. We may feel alone at times during this race. However, there is a heavenly stadium of supporters who are cheering us on. This is the great crowd of witnesses, those who have faithfully run their race, and are urging us towards the finish line. But the one who is our inspiration and purpose, the one for whom we run is Jesus Christ. Reading Hebrews 12:1-3 #bible #devotion

06.01.2022 Words for Wednesday from Rev Peter Arnett In a poem written by A. N. Wilder a wounded stranger wanders outside a beautiful place of joy and celebration. This gentle, homeless pilgrim hears the music within and knows he cannot enter, but he holds no bitterness toward those who are gathered there. We are left to identify the stranger, but there is no denying that the poems imagery evokes the message of Christ to Laodicea. The people of the church at Laodicea are told of a do...or about which they must make a choice: to open, or not to open. These words have often been romanticised in popular religious art, in pictures of Jesus "knocking at the hearts door." What is wrong is that Jesus is standing outside the door, excluded from the banquet like the homeless stranger in Amos Wilders poem. The poignant plea, though directed first to the church at Laodicea, is strategically placed near the end of the series of messages as Christs last appeal to any congregation that has shut him out. The beautiful "invitation" is at the same time a severe indictment of a church that is self-sufficient, complacent and only nominally Christian. This challenging message is applicable not only to each congregation, but to each person. Let us open the door and invite Christ into our lives afresh today, and every day.

05.01.2022 A word for Wednesday from Rev Peter Arnett Philadelphia was founded about 150 B.C. by King Attallus of Pergamum, whose nickname was Philadelphus, which means "lover of a brother." This man was noted for the admiration and love he had for his brother, Eumenes, and he named this city in honour of him. The city was destroyed by an earthquake in 17 A. D., along with Sardis and other cities in that locality. Most of the others recovered rather quickly from the disaster, but the ...after-shocks continued in Philadelphia for quite a number of years, with the result that the people had to flee the city repeatedly. This church in Philadelphia is unique among the seven churches because it is the only church the Lord registers no complaint against. This is the church that delights Christ! However, the Lord recognises that this church has little strength, more accurately translated as "I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut because you have a little power and have kept my word and not denied my name." This is a church that has experienced some movement (power) of the Holy Spirit and been faithful in keeping Gods word. Therefore, the Lord will ensure that the doors of opportunity for mission and service will remain open. So powerfully open that no human, nor evil influence, will be able to thwart it, or shut it. This is a word of encouragement for us to remain faithful. We may not be strong but, because of our faithfulness, God will provide open doors of opportunity for us to reach others with his love.

05.01.2022 Due to the current lock down in Greater Brisbane the Glebe Rd UCA church office is currently closed and all activities and groups scheduled to take place at the church on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, have been cancelled. The Tenebrae Service, planned for 7pm Thursday evening, will be pre-recorded and available to watch online via the Church Website or Facebook page. Another update will be provided on Thursday with details regarding our Friday and Sunday Easter Services. H...owever, pre-recorded versions of both services will be available to watch online for those who may prefer to avoid gatherings, even if the lock-down has officially concluded by then. Please continue to pray for our community, health staff, frontline workers, and our leaders as we navigate this time together.

04.01.2022 Yesterday we kicked off our latest series on the 5 Practices of Fruitful Congregations. Starting this week, new life groups are meeting Tuesdays at 12:30pm and Wednesdays at 7pm at the church as part of this study series. If you’re not yet part of a life group, come along!

03.01.2022 Thought for the week from Rev. Peter Arnett This brief sentence points to an element of life within the church at Pergamum that is detestable to God. While there remains a great deal of obscurity around who the Nicolaitans were, it is clear that their theology and practices were contrary to the Gospel of Christ. Those who followed Balaam, back in the book of Numbers, used Midianite women to seduce the men of Israel and lead them to worship other gods. Similarly, another e...xample was King Solomon when his wives from pagan religions led him astray in the worship of false gods. The mention of Balaam and the Nicolaitans together indicates a similarity in modus operandi. Therefore, it is presumed that the Pergamum Christians, immersed in the Roman culture of that city, were subjected to the temptation of sexual immorality, and idolatory, through the cultic worship practices of the of Nicolaitans. This points to the risks we all face in our contemporary society, that we would be led astray by cultural norms and practices that are counter to our Christian faith. Be alert little sheep to the wolf that prowls unseen. Reading Revelation 2:12-17 #bible #devotion

02.01.2022 A word for Wednesday from Rev Peter Arnett The slumbering church is one that rests on its past achievements. It has become complacent and stuck in the routine of doing things the way they have always been done. Complacency is a powerful enemy that may gain a stranglehold on a church. It lulls the members into a satisfaction with the way things are. When confronted with the warning to Wake up! and to strengthen the remaining life that still exists, the complacent churchs ...last words of protest will be Weve never done it that way before! COVID-19 has been, and continues to be, a devastating crisis for millions of people around the world. The tragic loss of human life, the suffering from serious illness, and the financial chaos it has wreaked upon personal lives and economies of nations, has made 2020 a year of turmoil, fear, isolation and despair. However, from the perspective of a slumbering church it may just be the wake-up call that reinvigorates, strengthens and revitalises, those parts that are dying into shoots of new life. This pandemic has been a generational disruptor to life as usual. May this be just one faint glimmer of hope, amidst the gloom of human misery, that the church may find fresh and creative ways to express the light of Gods love for the world? Let us be the church that is inspired and enlivened to continue the good work that the Lord has begun. Reading: Revelation 3:1-6 #dailydevotional #bible
