Everton Park Presbyterian Reformed Church
A local friendly reformed church in Everton Park, Brisbane
A bit over 2,000 years ago peace on earth was promised at the birth of Jesus Christ. If you turn on the news, or perhaps just sit down at the dinner table, you realise that there is some peace missing. Did something go wrong? Was God exaggerating? Or is there truth to the peace offered in Jesus Christ, who’s birth we remember at Christmas?
Join us at 9am Christmas Day as we explore this and see if there really is joy and peace to be found in the promises of God.
Due to the severe weather in Brisbane since Friday that has continued overnight and into today there is significant flooding occurring in many parts of the city. Per Government requests to limit travel and due to many roads being cut we have cancelled today’s gathering at the Church Hall.
We will be meeting online today.
Update: Today’s sermon is now available below or via the The Gospel of Mark series page.
2000 years ago the solution to our greatest sickness, sin, walked the earth in what would have been the dusty streets of Israel. This solution to sin is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who took on human flesh and did things that are beyond incredible. Whether you’ve heard about the life of Jesus before or not, join us in seeing what Mark has to tell us about Him. This is a bit like a good book or movie you can never get enough of, but way better in every way!
In 2 Peter 3:18 we are exhorted to ‘grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ‘.
The theme of Peter’s second letter is a simple one: the grace of God in Christ provides spiritual maturity to enable Christians to counter false teaching. Peter repeatedly points his readers to the Word of God as the primary means of growth for the Christian (1:4,19-21; 3:1-2, 14-16).
Peter encourages us to apply ourselves to diligently acquiring true knowledge of God and evidence this by living out a life of faith, so that we may ‘be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless‘ (3:14), rather than be exploited by deceptive words (2:3) and become slaves of corruption (2:19).
Join us as we delve into and learn from the letter of 2 Peter.
Ever had a bad day at work? Maybe you’ve had the best day and are loving that moment of happiness? We’ve all had both of these – some more than other! Wherever you find yourself on this spectrum right now, the Bible tells us that there’s more. There’s more than difficulty and there’s even more than happiness which depends on immediate circumstances. There is eternal, immeasurable joy and peace with God. Whether this is new to you or not we invite you to join us on Sunday mornings as we explore what the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippian Church has to say about “Stepping Beyond Happy”.
