23.01.2022 July saw the highest number of calls to Lifeline in the ACT ever with 4440 calls. We don't have much, but we'll do whatever we can to help if you're in need. Please send us a message. We're all in this together.

22.01.2022 Hey all, here is the video from today's message. Link to the podcast in the comments.

20.01.2022 Hey friends! We'd love you to come join us at the Whitehouse or via Zoom tomorrow morning for our service. Also, next week pencil in a picnic instead of our regular service. Hopefully the weather will clear up and we will be able to all get together at the park!

20.01.2022 "When Jesus talks about little ones he isn’t just talking about children, he is talking about the people in our society who are little in the eyes of the world. Those who have little influence, little power, little money, little prospects, little opportunity, little honour, and few advocates."

19.01.2022 It was great seeing everyone today. Here is the recording if you missed it. Link to the podcast in the comments. "Even with all the evidence pointing to Jesus’ true identity, John was nervous. He was in prison, captive to a man who would ultimately have him executed. And in that dark place he is asking himself, Is it possible that I am wrong? Is it possible that Jesus isn’t really the one who is to come? Have I given my life to proclaim a gospel that isn’t even true? Have you ever felt like that?"

19.01.2022 We'd love to see you online or at the Whitehouse tomorrow morning!

18.01.2022 Today's message introduced us to a new (but very old) contemplative practice. Saint Ignatius of Loyola was a 16th century priest who co-founded and led the religious order called the Society of Jesus, or simply the Jesuits. In 1548 St Ignatius wrote Spiritual Exercises, a simple set of meditations, prayers, and other practices. Perhaps the most well known of these exercises is the 'Daily Examen'. This practice helps to build intimacy and trust in God. It helps us to slow down..., remembering and reflecting on the events of our day. It brings us to a place of quiet contemplation, peace, and gratitude. It can help us to worry less, discern more, and grow in your relationship with God. 1. Be Still Become aware of God’s presence. 2. Give thanks Review the day with gratitude. 3. Reflect Pay attention to your emotions. 4. Pray Choose one feature of the day and pray from it. 5. Hope Look toward tomorrow.

17.01.2022 We’re super thrilled for NationsHeart that their new Community Hub is finished!

15.01.2022 Tomorrow morning we will be learning a prayer practice know as 'The Examen' that was created by St. Ignatius 400 years ago. Hope to see you via Zoom!

15.01.2022 Here's today's message. Podcast link in the comments! "Jesus begins his parable by saying there was a man that planted a vineyard. This is a little bit like saying, A woman named Karen went into a store. Now, we know what’s going on here you’re already picturing a certain type of woman and a certain type of behaviour before I have explained anything! And so it is with Jesus in this parable. His audience all knows that the vineyard is a picture of Israel."

08.01.2022 Sometimes awful things happen, and they are simply that, awful. They aren't a test. The world we live in is broken and the consequence of generations of sin and selfish choices is that our existence is riddled with pain and suffering that grieves both us and God. That is why God is going to reconcile all things to himself in Christ. That is why the beatitudes say God will bless those who hunger, mourn and weep, precisely because there are things about this world that are not consistent with the will of God at this time.

06.01.2022 It was great having a few people around at the Whitehouse for our service today. If you missed the Zoom service here is the recording (podcast link in the comments). "Rather than saying ‘Don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you,’ Jesus taught, ‘Do unto others as you want them to do unto you.’ In a world that generally says you can do whatever you want so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, Jesus goes further by teaching his disciples to actively initiate actions that will benefit others. In this way Jesus’ teaching is unique."

06.01.2022 We're still meeting on Zoom and we'd love for you to join us online!

05.01.2022 Hey friends! This Sunday we are having a Zoom only meeting so it will be awesome to see you all online. Things will be a little different also... Come prepared to share something you are grateful for or a prayer request. We will simply be spending time together and in breakout groups having a chat and checking in to see how everyone is going. We'll be online from 10:30am. Please also note that there will not be a kids gathering beforehand.

03.01.2022 Looking forward to tomorrow morning!

02.01.2022 Hope to see you tomorrow morning!

01.01.2022 Hey all, here is the video from today's message. As usual, link to the podcast in the comments. "If you can’t identify any area of change or growth in your theology or practice during the last season of your life, I would politely suggest that what you have is not unyielding faith, but more likely hardheartedness. If we are being transformed by a renewing of our minds and if we are working out our salvation daily it will be reflected in changes to our character and thinking."
