Jesus' Shady Family Tree
Matthew 1:2-17
Grace - the back story. The genealogy of Jesus is a reminder that perfection is not always the precursor to the great works of God. Sometimes, it takes a journey through a twisted mess of troubles and imperfections to bring about the ultimate goal. His patient enduring grace brings about incredible results.

No Longer Covered

Born into Acceptance
The family of God is the most healing place on earth- if... If we love each other. Our churches are communities of Grace so that we can put down our guard and know we will be accepted as we are.

No Longer Divided
Genesis 4:8-9
Born into Harmony
All good parents set the boundaries for life inside the family, and they do it so that there is harmony and unity in the home. God's family is just the same. Get the Picture?

Born into an Identity. On a special remembrance day, 100 years from the end of the great war, we look at how the Nation of Australia found its identity through WW1, and how we discover who we are through others. Get the Picture?

No Longer Orphans
Genesis 2:18

Serving - Steve Crouch
Ephesians 4:11-13
The church is a vessel through which Christ offers Himself to the world. If that is so, then what is our part in the grand scheme? What should you or I be doing to fuflfill our part of this work of God?

Purposefully Creating
Romans 12:1-8
Like little gods in the world, we have the power to change things. We can create differences in the world like God does. After all, we're made in His image.

Created On Purpose
John 4:32-34
We are no accident, we were made by design by a God who knows just what the world needs. Each of us have custom designed talents, passions and abilities that give us direction about what we are made to do in life.

Breaking Relationship Strongholds
1 Corinthians 6:6-20

Breaking Religion
Genesis 3:1-15
Defeating the power of the False Prophet. The Bible says, "If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations- "Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch"...These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion ...but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh. Col 2:20-23. Religion is man-centric and ultimately leads to bondage rather than freedom.

Breaking Babylon
Ephesians 6:19-34
Defeating the power of Mammon. Jesus said, "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. Matthew 6:24. Money is a terrible master and we need to live free from its corrupting influence on our choices.
