Showing Up

Share to

28 June, 2026Pastor John Strelan

The Law of Inertia, also known as Newton’s First Law of Motion, states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Inertia is the inherent property of any physical object to resist changes to its current state of motion. So, if an object is sitting still, it wants to stay sitting still; if it is already moving it wants to keep moving.

 

Makes me wonder whether, when it comes to the mission of the church, we have a tendency to overcomplicate things. Perhaps it’s just a matter of showing up?

Matthew 10:40-42

Whoever welcomes you welcomes me

40 Jesus said to the twelve, ‘Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.’

Turn Your 'I' Upon Jesus

21 June, 2026 Pastor John Strelan

When you look in the mirror do you like what you see? I suspect not. I say that purely based on statistics, not because I know you well enough to make that judgment. You see Australians spend over $25 billion dollars on beauty products every year! Then we spend another $25 billion per year on clothes! In fact, Australians buy more clothes per person than anyone else in the world! And, every year, 200,000 tonnes of the clothing we buy ends up in landfill!

And, in the end, despite all the skin products we apply and all the fashion items we adorn ourselves with we too eventually return to dust. So maybe there is something more important than what we see in the mirror? Maybe there’s something more important than what we think of ourselves? Maybe there’s something more important than what others think of us? And maybe that something is more than skin deep?

Love Actually

14 June, 2026 Pastor John Strelan

Two pairs of glasses:

Weak, suffering, ungodly, sinful, enemies = Despised.

Weak, suffering, ungodly, sinful, enemies = Loved.

Which pair of glasses do you think God wears?
