Homebush Bay Sermon Series - Isaiah

The Book of Isaiah seems as daunting as it is grand! That's because Isaiah's ministry as a prophet spans across the reigns of four Kings of Judah - from around 740 B.C to 681 B.C. But its message is even grander. Isaiah's vision spans from creation to new creation. It centres on the city of God's people, Zion, during years of unrest from the threat of the mighty Assy...

It's been called "the divinest composition of man", "The greatest piece of writing in all of history", and "The Queen of the Epistles".

Habitas - The Christian Way of Life - Homebush Bay Sermon Series

Without even thinking it, our lives are controlled by the rituals and habits we keep. Some habits are helpful, and others are not as helpful.

If we want to see change for God's Kingdom we need to examine our habits, and realise once again that God wants His peop...

Doctrine Sermon Series - Homebush Bay

The word 'doctrine' is possibly the most unsexy word you could ever have. It sounds fundamental, bigoted, backwards and outdated. But in life, we always live by beliefs and principles. They guard our worldview and they promote who we are. Christianity, in order to thrive, must grow deeper in doctrine because ultimately there's a God who is worth knowing. Over the next 10 w...

Who Do You Say That I Am

In life and over the years we end up knowing lots of things - We know lots about people, we know lots about ourselves. But there's nothing more important than to know Jesus Christ.
