Welcome to week 2 of Ephesians, we're looking at God's promises in the first half of Ephesians. This week Laura is preaching on Ephesians 1:15-23 "For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better." This prayer unpacks the importance of understanding the power and authority of Jesus. For the church in Ephesus there were many other spiritual practices and other “gods” being worshipped around them, but Paul called all believers, including us, to understand that Jesus is greater, far above all rule, authority, power and dominion. Laura unpacks what that could look like and asks each of us to consider are we living out of God's wisdom and revelation. Join us in the coming weeks as we journey through the first three chapters of Ephesians we’re calling “Promised” unpacking the promise Jesus has given His Church and discovering why that matters for our identity.

This week we kick off week 1 in the first half of Ephesians, looking at God's promises and what the purpose of the church is? What we believe about the church will determine how we as a church act, what we prioritize, and where we go. Which raises a challenging question: Who is the Church? Joren challenges us that the power of the church is found in unified identity. He shares three words that really matter in our identity as God's church.

This Sunday Stephen Jeffs joined us to share his first message as our new lead pastor. He offered three "Above all else" scriptures to live by in times of transition. Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it". Matthew 6:33 "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need." 1 Peter 4:8 "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins _____ 🔹 Watch sermons + access notes on the teachings page of our website: https://www.goodlife.org.au/teachings 🔹 Join us on the YouVersion Bible App 🔹 Make Goodlife Community Church your home church in the app and join in our featured reading plans.

This week Laura is unpacking stories from Matthew 9: 18-38 the interlinked stories of Jairus seeking healing for his daughter and the bleeding women who was healed by touching Jesus' cloak. Laura reflects on the desperation that motivated them. Generally when we talk about desperation it is not a good thing, often desperation is associated with anxiety or addiction, when you so desperately want or need something. There is one thing we can be desperate for that is positive and won’t lead to anxiety. JESUS. Jesus is a God who meets his people in their desperate need. For reasons we don't always understand, he may not immediately fix our situations, but he is always with us in the waiting. ------ 🔹 Watch sermons + access notes on the teachings page of our website: https://www.goodlife.org.au/teachings 🔹 Join us on the YouVersion Bible App 🔹 Make Goodlife Community Church your home church in the app and join in our featured reading plans.

Jesus is a different kind of King to any other the world has known. He invites unlikely people to His table — humble sinners. This week Joren unpacks the story of Matthew in Matthew 9: 9-13. These verses reveal how Jesus sees value and potential in people that the world has written off or would consider unworthy. 1:05 Message begins 🔹 Watch sermons + access notes on the teachings page of our website: https://www.goodlife.org.au/teachings 🔹 Join us on the YouVersion Bible App 🔹 Make Goodlife Community Church your home church in the app and join in our featured reading plans.

Where in life do you feel stuck? Jesus used his authority to get people unstuck, out of unhealthy ways, habits and beliefs. To see people healed physically, emotionally, spiritually. 3:45 The Message begins Today Joren's aim is to bring us a fresh perspective on three healing stories in Matthew 8. He explains that the three stories are grouped together to highlight the great truth that Jesus is the Messiah for all people. Each of the three healed people from these stories would have been considered unworthy by the Jews. While there is some mystery as to why some people get healed and others don't, Joren reminds us of God's promises, Sin didn't win, Jesus' death on the cross was a beginning, in the midst of suffering we have hope. 🔹 Watch sermons + access notes on the teachings page of our website: https://www.goodlife.org.au/teachings 🔹 Join us on the YouVersion Bible App 🔹 Make Goodlife Community Church your home church in the app and join in our featured reading plans.

This week Julie explains how Matthew highlights Jesus teaching of scripture as something that goes deeper and requires a change of heart, to not just obey the letter of the law, but the heart and purpose behind the law. She challenges us to consider are we obeying the heart behind Jesus' teachings and allowing it to change us and shape how we live. 3:45 The message begins 🔹 Watch sermons + access notes on the teachings page of our website: https://www.goodlife.org.au/teachings 🔹 Join us on the YouVersion Bible App 🔹 Make Goodlife Community Church your home church in the app and join in our featured reading plans.

Our new series begins today, following on from the King's Kingdom series, we return to the book of Matthew to investigate what kind of King Jesus is. Joren begins by recognising that Jesus always gives us a choice, he doesn't demand obedience he invites us to follow in his ways. We look at Matthew 7 : 13-20 where Jesus describes two different roads we can take in life, the wide and broad path or the narrow path and challenges us to consider which road are we on? 🔹 Watch sermons + access notes on the teachings page of our website: https://www.goodlife.org.au/teachings 🔹 Join us on the YouVersion Bible App 🔹 Make Goodlife Community Church your home church in the app and join in our featured reading plans.

Nic, gave a thoughtful and timely encouragement to shift how we reflect on our letdowns in life. Sometimes letdowns are because of our sin. Sometimes letdowns are because God is doing something in us. Even when it seems like it conflicts God is using it! He lead us through Nehemiah 13 asking ourselves "where is our sufficiency and security?" and being honest with our answers. We all can feel letdown, but it's what we do with feeling that matters. “The story isn’t over if the story isn’t good!” - ‘The Father’s House’, Bethel Music 🔹 Watch sermons + access notes on the teachings page of our website: https://www.goodlife.org.au/teachings 🔹 Join us on the YouVersion Bible App 🔹 Make Goodlife Community Church your home church in the app and join in our featured reading plans.

Our guest speaker, Brendan Edwards from The Send, challenged us this week with an important question: What is an appropriate response to God’s faithfulness? The Bible shows us that God is faithful. But Brendan encouraged us to consider what a response to God’s faithfulness sounds like (confession), thinks like (repentance), and looks like (prayer). He challenged us to reflect on what might be getting in the way of our response to God. Comfort? Convenience? Apathy? Fear? Individualism? Busyness? Materialism? What might God be asking you to surrender so you can respond more fully to His faithfulness?

Lotty brings us a challenge, when I know God's plan, I can know God's plan for me. In this message he shows from scripture how God's plan is that we his people bring an experience of heaven to earth, we are to be salt and light. What God is looking for is a heart willing to be moved and hands that are willing to be used. He gives us two key patterns in scripture * What moves you * God shows up in the gap 🔹 Watch sermons + access notes on the teachings page of our website: https://www.goodlife.org.au/teachings 🔹 Join us on the YouVersion Bible App 🔹 Make Goodlife Community Church your home church in the app and join in our featured reading plans.

This week V looks at Nehemiah chapter 8. The people have left homes, friends, family to return to Jerusalem. They have re-built the temple, re-built the wall… but why… who is it all for? V explains the different names for God in old testament scripture, how they reveal part of God's character. She asks each of us to consider what is our big why? The core belief that drives our actions? 🔹 Watch sermons + access notes on the teachings page of our website: https://www.goodlife.org.au/teachings 🔹 Join us on the YouVersion Bible App 🔹 Make Goodlife Community Church your home church in the app and join in our featured reading plans.
