6th. Sunday of Easter - Do you want to get well! 12:32

vor 13 hours12:32

12:32

This week's Gospel reading John 5:1-9 recounts the story of an invalid Jesus encounters at the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem. In this encounter Jesus asks, 'Do you want to get well?" Jesus does not presume to know what is wanted, but reflects God's goodness in giving us our own 'free will'. God does not pressure creation to come to Him, but instead asks gently and extends His invitations into our lives- invitations towards wholeness, community and care. The invalid responds by listing a range of reasons why he is not already well! Through His compassionate listening Jesus discerns the man's desire for healing and so tells him to 'Get up!". Immediately the man is healed. Here is something we learn- that Jesus invites, and that God gives. We have faith through the Holy Spirit drawing us into trust in a God who truly cares for us, is generous, and does not seek God's own way. God gives each of us the final say in how we choose to live. How can you choose, this week, to reflect your trust in God's generosity? Could you invite someone you know into a deeper conversation, or share generously of your time and resources to improve someone else's wellbeing? Are you willing to follow their lead in how to do this? May Jesus guide you in showing others His face. This message was written and presented by Pr. Havard Osland of the Norwegian Lutheran Church Aust. Support the show…

5th. Sunday of Easter - United in the Spirit! 14:38

vor 8 Tagen14:38

14:38

This week's focus is on the unity all people have in Christ through the gift of the Holy Spirit. In our Acts reading Acts 11:1-18 we hear that the Holy Spirit helped Peter to understand this. He was encouraged to eat things, and spend time with people, he usually wouldn't. The message God's Holy Spirit was bringing was that God's family would include people from all nations. Peter had to overcome rules he had lived by his whole life, because God's Holy Spirit showed him they were no longer as important as faith and love in Jesus Christ. What 'rules' do you follow today that might not be as important as they seem? How might the Spirit of God shine a different light on them? Can you think of new ways to express your faith and love in Jesus Christ? This week, try to share Jesus' love with someone who might not know Him yet! It might be as simple as taking the time to listen to someone, or saying 'Good Morning' to your neighbour. See where the Holy Spirit leads you! The message is from LCA. Support the show…

4th. Sunday of Easter - We know His Voice! 17:08

vor 15 Tagen17:08

17:08

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers, Grandmothers, Great-Grandmothers, and those who care for us as a mother would. May God bless you today! Our Gospel reading John 10:22-30 this week reminds us that Jesus is our 'Good Shepherd', and that He will never leave one of His sheep behind. That means you and I! These days there can be a negative connotation around being a 'sheep'. A 'sheep' can be someone who unthinkingly follows trends or others they look up to. Christian life is different. We are conscious that we follow our Shepherd, Jesus. This is something we purposefully remember each day, and it's a blessing because Jesus has claimed us for His own, righteously given by God. We do not follow without reason, or unthinkingly. We desire to be safe in the arms of Jesus, and to obey the ways He has shown us to live. In return, Jesus tells us today that we will never perish, because He knows us. What joy to be fully known and loved by our Creator! May this joy go with you through your week, as you listen to your Shepherd's voice. You could even invite someone else to hear God's Word- and share your favourite Bible verse with them! Today's sermon is from LCA and read by John Mickin. Support the show…

This week's Gospel John 21:1-19 reminds us that we can rely on Jesus to give us all we need. We are blessed to be members of God's family. We are so loved that we are provided with every good thing, just as Jesus blesses His disciples with an extra-large catch of fish, and gives them a freshly-cooked breakfast! Jesus then asks His disciples to carry on the work He has begun. He gives Peter fish, then asks him to 'Feed my sheep.' Three times Jesus repeats His request- feed those I love and that the Father has given me- with your knowledge of the Good News. Thus, we are encouraged to receive from Jesus all we need to live with Him, and also asked to share that goodness and love with others. Who are the 'sheep' in your flock? Are you responsible for a family, or children in a classroom, or your work team? How can you 'feed them'? Jesus asks us to be active workers for His Kingdom in our world. Pray for guidance as to where you can bring God's blessings in your community this week. Then follow Jesus' example- you might find you have a bigger 'catch' of blessings than you can possibly imagine! The message was presented by Pr. Fin Klein of St. Michaels in Harndorf SA.

vor 29 Tagen9:32

9:32

This week's Gospel reading John 20:19-31 recounts the story of Thomas, the disciple who heard that Jesus was alive but did not believe because he had not seen Him. The good news is that Jesus meets Thomas' disbelief with compassion, gentleness and love. We too may have moments where we are unsure of God, or don't see His promises coming true in our lives. God also continues to come to us in those moments- with the same love, gentleness and compassion. Jesus gifts each of us today with a special note- that those who trust in Him and believe, even though they have not seen, will be blessed. We are to carry that hope and joy into the world and share the news of Jesus' resurrection with those we meet. May you be blessed this week as you walk with God and share God's love with those you encounter. This massage was written for LCA and read by Bridgitte Willshire. Support the show…

Easter Sunday 2025 - Only One Easter Story 13:19

vor 5 weeks13:19

13:19

"He is Risen!" "He is Risen indeed!" This is the call and response we delight in on Easter Sunday, reminding us of the wondrous promise-come-true of God's Word. But phew! -there's a lot to get through in Holy Week before we say those heart-lifting words. Jesus enters Jerusalem to shouts of joy- then He gathers with His closest friends to institute His holy meal of thanksgiving and remembrance; this first meal of service and love ends in betrayal. Jesus suffers humiliation and pain as He is subjected to the worst of human nature on Good Friday, then laid in a tomb as the few friends He has left mourn. We endure a day of deep darkness, stillness and grief- a space between what was and what is to come. Then there is Life! Joy! Unspeakable wonder as Mary sees Jesus face to face in the garden. Death has been defeated, and our old sinful nature passes away in the light of our Risen Saviour. Phew! Wow! And so many of us may also be saying "Phew! It's a lot." This sinful world isn't getting any easier to navigate. Many of us are standing in the space between what was and what is to come. Like Jesus' friends and followers, we may be feeling confused about what's happening, deeply ashamed, or full of grief as we recall our sinful actions. How have you come to the foot of the Cross this Easter? Whatever your journey along the path of life, Easter gives you the chance to pause and reflect. As you pause, take time with Jesus to be joyful, enjoy fellowship and be hospitable. Perhaps you will find the courage to truthfully reflect on your sinful actions and words. Then, as Easter dawns- allow your heart to be seized again by the Holy Spirit! As when you were baptised, death has been defeated- and yes- "He is Risen!" "Jesus is Risen indeed!" Amen, and God bless you this Easter. Sermon written for LCA and read by Bridgitte Willkinson. Support the show…

Palm Sunday - Not Yet! 12:43

vor 6 weeks12:43

12:43

This week we hear again the story of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. It is a moment of great joy and excitement before the trials and sadness of Holy Week. We may have heard this story many times over our Christian lives- yet we are challenged each time to hear God's Word with fresh ears. This week I have been struck by Jesus' final words- "....if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." Imagine all of creation celebrating and worshiping God so completely that the very stones cry out! Imagine a heart so full of joy and understanding of God's great mercy that it is unable to stay silent. This is the heart inside each one of us, as we prepare to celebrate the greatest mystery of all- Jesus, God's Son, amongst us- dying to restore us to a full relationship with His Father. Jesus overcomes death, He restores relationships, and He truly loves each one of us. Let your heart be filled with joy and worship as you enter His story along the road to Jerusalem.

5th. Sunday in Lent : Who Are You Connected To? 10:38

vor 7 weeks10:38

10:38

This week's sermon and theme focus on our reading from Philippians 3:4-14. Here Paul explains to the Jews that, although he is fully 'qualified' to belong to their cultural and religious family, he considers his identity first to be in Christ. Paul insists that he may be recognised as 'belonging' in other ways, but his priority is to 'press on towards' fully joining Jesus in His life. Where do you feel like you belong, and why? Is it at your local club, where you have an embroidered t-shirt in the correct colours, and a badge with your name on it? Is it in your own home, where only a few trusted and loved people have a key to enter? How do you feel about your place in your family- do you have a sense of belonging there? God knows that in all of those places, we at times still feel unacknowledged, unseen, and unloved. But the Holy Spirit calls us into God's heart- where we have been granted permanent belonging through baptism. Like Paul, we are called to strive towards the goal of drawing ever closer to God's heart. May we be like Paul this week- secure in the knowledge we belong with God, and encouraging others to join us in His love.

4th. Sunday in Lent : Everyone is invited to celebrate with God! 14:05

vor 8 weeks14:05

14:05

In this week’s Gospel Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 Jesus tells the parable of the Prodigal Son. This is a familiar story to most Christians. Why is it so familiar? Perhaps not only because we have heard it often- but also because we really can identify with the characters in the story. There may have been a time you resented someone who gained advantages over you whilst doing less, or a time you received an excess of blessing and squandered it without thinking. Perhaps you have been a parent watching a child break free from the restraint of your family environment and making silly choices- or been a welcoming presence when someone who has sinned realizes their mistake and asks for forgiveness. Maybe you have been all of these during your lifetime. How deeply does each person’s part in this story touch you today? Who do you most resonate with? This week let’s invite God into our heart as we listen to the Word- and ask the Holy Spirit to shed light on where we need to dwell more deeply. Step into God’s arms this week, as God welcomes you home. The message was written and presented by Pastor Håvard Osland of the Norwegian Lutheran Church A&NZ. Support the show…

3rd. Sunday in Lent : Freshly Fertilised! 11:14

vor 9 weeks11:14

11:14

This week's Gospel Luke 13:1-9 contains a warning from Jesus about where we focus as we live here on earth. Jesus tells those around Him to turn away from sinful and selfish things, and reimmerse themselves in His teachings. Jesus then tells a parable about a fig tree which bears no fruit. Our theme for this week draws upon that parable- we investigate the idea of being 'freshly fertilised'! In the story Jesus tells of a worker asking the farmer to give the fig tree just one more year- he'll fertilise it and dig all around to give the tree another chance to bear fruit before it is cut down. How are you 'bound' by the soil of this world? Are you focused on Jesus' light, and bearing fruit for Him? This week, the Holy Spirit wishes to tend your heart- dig all around where you might be 'stuck' and where your roots have no space to grow in God- and to pour out the 'fertiliser' of Jesus' Word in your life. May the Spirit strengthen and refresh you, returning your focus to Christ this Lenten season. The sermon was written for LCA and read by John Mickan. Support the show…

2nd. Sunday in Lent : A Lament for Jerusalem. 15:38

vor 10 weeks15:38

This week's Gospel reading Luke 13:31-35 recounts Jesus' ongoing mission despite persecution, and His frustration that the people of Jerusalem are not willing to be gathered safely to God. Instead, their hearts are hardened; despite knowing that something is 'not right' with their city even their ruler seeks to destroy the Good News. Although we often go our own way, Jesus loves and heals us. Lent is a time to remember just how far God's love and forgiveness extends. We might 'choose' to reach up a hand to heaven, but Jesus is already reaching out to us- even as we decide. His patient offering of Himself and outpouring of blessing goes beyond anything we could imagine. How can we extend that same blessing and love to those around us this week?

12:25

This week's Gospel reading Luke 4:1-13 , tells us of Jesus' testing in the desert. Jesus was put to the test with offers of food, wealth and power. How pertinent a reading for today's times! It seems that everywhere we look there are examples of those who want to control the world, lead it towards their own ends, or sacrifice the good of some for the benefit of a few. If we look into our own hearts we may recognise some of these behaviours on a smaller scale. However, God created us in His own image. The freedom He gave us to choose our own paths may bring us to tempting times, but if we remember the One who made us and who inspires (literally 'breathes into') our every moment we will go astray less often. Let's pray this Lent to follow Jesus' example, saying no to the easy temptations and yes to things that may feel hard but bring us closer to Him. Amen. Written and presented by Dr. Bruce Arnold.

Transfiguration Sunday - Seeing the Light! 11:07

vor 12 weeks11:07

11:07

In this week’s Gospel Luke 9:28-43 we have Jesus shining with the full glory of God, in front of regular humans like you and me. We all know the feeling when sunshine reflects off a window or some other shiny surface directly into our eyes- it forces us to look away. Now imagine someone you know and love very much being transformed into an image of that brightness- do you think you would be able to keep looking at them, or engage in conversation? The Gospel tells us that Peter, John and James woke from their sleep and spoke with Jesus! Imagine that radiance being something that shone before you but didn’t harm you. The disciples were only afraid when a cloud covered them, and a voice spoke. That voice told them that Jesus was indeed the Son of God, and that they should listen to Him. God is revealing to ordinary people exactly who Jesus is. Again today through His Word God reveals to us that His Son is the One, chosen to lead us back into relationship with God. Let’s delight in this revelation, as Peter did, saying, “Lord, it is good to be here.” May you dwell this week in the light of Christ, and may it illuminate others you meet through you.

7th. Sunday after Epiphany: Love My Enemy? 15:18

vor 13 weeks15:18

15:18

Dear friends- God calls us to be different! This week's Gospel reading outlines how. In today's world we are drawn by opposing forces- both to conform and be 'like' (or 'liked') by those around us, and to be 'individual' and stand out in the crowd. Many people spend lots of time, especially on social media platforms, trying to show what makes them special. Others look at those posts and try to shape themselves more closely to those they admire. All of us wish for our different qualities to be recognised and noticed by those we care about. But Luke, Luke 6:27-38 . recalls God's wish - for us to follow the example of Jesus. Luke tells us we are to be different. Not only different, but people who take the difficult routes in life, rather than those which are most comfortable for us. This includes loving those who are unkind to us, caring for those who steal from us and offering more of ourselves in love to those who disappoint us. This is not the same as the rosy pictures painted for us in people's carefully curated social media feeds. Yet this true difference is how Luke tells us others will know we belong to Jesus. Imagine how different our world could be if more people tried to shape themselves more closely to Jesus. May you walk His way this week. The message was written and ptesented by Pr. Lassi Pappinen of Finnish Lutheran Church Sydney. Support the show…
