23.01.2022 Jesus says, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." - John 13:34-35, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdmgpMfnjdU

18.01.2022 We were encouraged by our visiting preacher, Nate Raiter, on Sunday as he spoke from Psalm 87. We were reminded that the place where God chooses to dwell is a truly blessed place, full of significance and life. Hence, what an amazing reality we enter into when we put our trust in Jesus, as through this faith God chooses to dwell in US and so give us the light of His presence. So we can but praise God for His awesome character and amazing deeds! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqrli3Lkf58

18.01.2022 God the Father knows us, in that He cares for us and wants us to be part of His family. Being a relational being, He doesn't treat us with cold indifference, but wants to be intimately involved in our lives. God wants us to know Him and has made a way for us to do that through His Son, Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Thanks to Keith for bringing us this encouraging message yesterday which concluded our series on Psalm 1. 'There is a voice that pierced the grave A power that rolle...d the stone away A sound of life, I know I’m saved The voice of God has called my name' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90Y-hmn843M

17.01.2022 We were reminded in yesterday's sermon on Job 1-2 that we can hold onto hope in God, even when our world is devastated and Satan works to discourage our faith. God is still in charge and we can say, 'It is well with my soul' because nothing can separate us from the love of God found in Jesus Christ! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zY5o9mP22V0

15.01.2022 It was great to be reminded by our visiting preacher this week that we walk by faith, not by sight (John 4:43-54). Be encouraged this week, therefore, with the words of the song we sang to close our online service together - words that invite us to trust Jesus whose promises never fail! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNIx__JGLGs

15.01.2022 In Luke 6:6-11, Jesus opposes the legalism of the Pharisees by challenging his listeners to be guided by love and generosity instead. Just as we sang the following words yesterday together, let them be your prayer each day this week: 'May the mind of Christ my savior live in me from day to day, by his love and power controlling all I do and say...'... https://open.spotify.com/track/4vmanX7r1jcedOTvnmVCl1

08.01.2022 We were blessed to receive God's word yesterday from the Victorian Presbyterian Youth Ministries Director, Andrew Edmonds. It's great that we are able to have 'visiting' preachers via Zoom during this lockdown. Andrew challenged us from Jeremiah 17:1-13 to be wary of trusting our own hearts and instead to trust in the Lord our God. Only God can change our heart for the better, through the saving work of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. And so we can sing: '...th...at on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing [Jesus] bled and died to take away my sin...' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKGf06YM7rQ

06.01.2022 We didn't get to sing together yesterday during our Grace PC Zoom service, due to some technical difficulties, but we could still give thanks for many things nonetheless. We could be grateful to God for his Word, for prayer, for fellowship and for being reminded by Rob Duncanson of the way that God always keeps his promises. Most of all, we can thank God for keeping his promise of a saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ, 'Who crushed my curse of sinfulness, and clothed me with His l...ight'! What are you thankful for today? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qntf2Y_VNok

06.01.2022 'Then on the third at break of dawn, The Son of heaven rose again. O trampled death where is your sting? The angels roar for Christ the King'... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqBpifDpNKc

05.01.2022 Although we needed to be masked and spread out across the building yesterday, we were ACTUALLY able to meet physically together in the same space for the first time since March! Praise God! And thank you Keith for preaching God's word to us from Colossians 1, reminding us of the importance of giving thanks to God. Hence, it was great to be able to sing this classic kids song of thanks together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-nb5CR1uec

04.01.2022 We've introduced a new song at Grace PC this month thanks to Emu Music. It was great to join together last Sunday, albeit via Zoom, to praise God with this 'Hymn of the Saviour'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnX6XEDglH4

04.01.2022 All through this time of particular uncertainty we continue to celebrate the Risen King, our Saviour Jesus! In the face of worldly struggle, He is the dependable God of all things! '...From the shifting shadows of the earth We will lift our eyes to Him...' ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNlP8Sy23XE

03.01.2022 We thank Chris Angel from Ballarat Christians @ Uni for his motivating sermon this past Sunday. Speaking from Romans 10:1-17, we were challenged to consider whether our heart's desire is to live the gospel and to share it with the people around us. Do our lives at Grace PC reflect our church motto, 'Bringing God's word to God's world'? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRoX3LlcXQs

02.01.2022 As we sang together via video link from our separate households this past Sunday, we united with a declaration of Jesus Christ's sovereignty and love: 'You’re the Author of creation, You’re the Lord of every man; And Your cry of love rings out Across the lands.'... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVpkR4gYTlg See more

01.01.2022 Join us for our Sunday service tomorrow from 10am. Don't forget the zoom catch up afterwards for a cuppa and chat! https://youtu.be/aYAQnO0AOi4

01.01.2022 'In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song' We sang these words yesterday as we reflected on the message of 2 Peter 1:16-18, that Jesus is the majestic Son of God! There is no other who can give us such hope, light and strength. May you continue to make Jesus your song this week!... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16KYvfIc2bE
