Red Door Church

Reader: Anne Miller Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Henessey David thought is was God's will for him to build God a temple. It wasn't. So, how do we discern God's will? Jonathan explores how we can discern God's will for our lives, but we also need to realise that we also need to act in faith, and if it isn't God's will, he will redirect our plans to his. David wanted to build God a house but God redirected David's will to his own plan, which is far greater. Isn't this the same for us? Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Preacher: Jonathan Smith After failing to bring the Ark Of The Covenant to Jerusalem in the past, David learns from the past and transported the ark the way God instructed. After taking the first tentative six steps, he stopped and worshipped God. Like us, David recognised that there is nothing he could do to stand in the presence of the Holy God, but in God's mercy and compassion, He has provided the way.

Reader: Mel Truong Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Hennesey We begin our new series in the book of 2 Samuel in chapters 1-2. The previous king of Israel, King Saul is dead, along with his son, Jonathan. David’s response is to grieve the death of the man (Saul) who tried to kill him. He is then anointed king over Judah (the southern kingdom of Israel). We’ll learn more about 2 Samuel and King David in general, and we’ll focus on the theme of ‘anointing’ which is central to the book. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Levi Dacion Preacher: Josh Hennessy Music: Leslie Edis & Joanna Justus Over the past two weeks, Josh & Tibor have used Paul's letter to the Galatian churches to explain the gospel. Today Josh shows us what it means to live out the gospel, by surrendering our own desires so that we can live and be more like Jesus - or as Paul puts it, to live by The Spirit and not according to our flesh.

Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Tibor Tumbas Music: Josh Hennessy & Nat Tumbas Tibor shows how the early Galatian church started practising a false gospel; one where they believed they were justified in God because of faith in Jesus AND by fulfilling Jewish customs of the law - a faith that consists partly on their own merits. In our performance based culture, we need to be careful that we do not fall into the same trap. Nothing we do can justify us before God. Only our faith in Jesus, and the works that he has done (not us), can justify us. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Preacher: Josh Hennessey Music: Josh Hennessey & John Hudson Today we start a new mini-series on Paul's letter to the Galatians, led by Josh Hennessey and Tibor Tumbas. Josh leads us through the first chapter of this letter, expressing what the true gospel is. This is important because even now, some odd 2,000 years after Jesus's death and resurrection, we have churches teaching a gospel different to the one Jesus and Paul taught - and that gospel message is simply that it is by Grace Alone, Faith Alone, In Christ Alone that we are saved.

Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Leslie Edis & Bek Hudson Today Pastor Jonathan is taking us through the last topic in our series on The Apostle's Creed - The New Creation.

The statements contained in the creed are all substantiated by scripture. This message looks at the final lines of The Creed: “... the resurrection of the body and the live everlasting.” Jonathan challenges us to truly believe in the resurrection of our physical bodies, which is contrary to the dominant Greek philosphies of the time; to try and help us understand what has happened to people who have died in this life but have not yet been resurrected; and finally, to look at what life everlasting is all about.

Though the creed is not scripture, it clearly states beliefs that all Christians hold - the beliefs that are consistent across all churches and denominations.

Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Hennessey & Joanna Justus Today Pastor Jonathan is taking us through the fifth topic in our series on The Apostle's Creed - Jesus Coming Again. Though the creed is not scripture, it clearly states beliefs that all Christians hold - the beliefs that are consistent across all churches and denominations. The statements contained in the creed are all substantiated by scripture. This message looks at the line of The Creed that reads: “From there he will come to judge the living and the dead” This can be quite scary and daunting, knowing that Jesus is coming back to judge all people, but Jonathan presents that this is actually very good news for believers.

Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Bek & John Hidson, Josh Hennessey Today Pastor Jonathan is taking us through the fourth topic in our series on The Apostle's Creed - Jesus: Risen And Ascended. Though the creed is not scripture, it clearly states beliefs that all Christians hold - the beliefs that are consistent across all churches and denominations. The statements contained in the creed are all substantiated by scripture. This message looks at the fourth line of The Creed: “On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven” If there is no resurrection, then Christianity has no hope, and we ought to be pitied because of our belief and "weird" behaviour. Similarly, if Jesus did not ascend to heaven, then he is not ruling, and we are submitting to a lie. However, if Jesus did rise again and is seated in heaven then our entire lives and actions must be modelled around that belief. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.
