Sovereign God - Part 5: Not Why Me but Why God

We live in a self-centred world where everything is about me. And so when things don't go to our plan, our whole world crumbles. But what if there was a bigger story to this all and we weren't the main character? It's hard to fathom but how much would it change our perspective if that were the truth? Join us today as we continue our story in life of Joseph.
Passage: Genesis 45-47

Sovereign God - Part 4: When the Past and the Present Collide

We continue our series 'Sovereign God' in Genesis as we follow the life of Joseph. Joseph has been made the second most powerful man in Egypt. His life has hit a new high and his future is set, but then the past comes back to meet him. How does Joseph respond? Join us to find out. God bless.
Passage: Genesis 42-45

Sovereign God - Part 3: We See Chapters, God Sees Story

As we continue our story of Joseph in Genesis, we see Joseph go from being the beloved son to being sold as a slave to a foreign official, to being made the head slave to be thrown into prison due to wrongful accusations to being made the head prisoner. What a rollercoaster of a life. What has God got next? We are reminded that even though we can only see the different chapters in our lives, God sees the whole story. Join us as we see God's plans come into fruition in Joseph's life.
Passage: Genesis 40-41

Sovereign God - Part 2: Even When We Do the Right Thing

The story of Joseph shows us that even when we do the right thing, bad things can happen. This week, we look at Joseph as he goes from slavery to prisoner, as his life situation gets worse - and yet this is in the plans of God - just not revealed yet. Join us as we continue to walk through the story of Joseph and our sovereign God. God bless.
Passage: Genesis 39:1-23

Sovereign God - Part 1: Some Things We Choose, Some Things We Don’t

Today we start a new series titled "Sovereign God" as we look at the life of Joseph in Genesis. We begin with setting the scene and realise that there are things in life that we choose and there are things in life that choose us. But in amongst it all, God is in control. Join us as we begin this new series "Sovereign God".
Passage: Genesis 37:1-36

Commissioning Service for Pastor James Jang

Thank you for joining us today on a very special day where we have the commissioning service for one of our pastors, Pastor James who will be heading to Cambodia for 6 months on missions.

Family Matters - Part 3: Gender and Identity

One of the most talked about topics currently circulating our society is one of gender and identity. There is much being said but I wonder if we are clear on what scripture says about it. Agree with it or not, let's be clear on God's position on gender and identity through scripture. That's our aim today. Join us today. God bless.
Passage: Genesis 1:27

Family Matters - Part 2: Sexual Purity

We continue our 'Family Matters' series where this week we talk about the topic of purity. Our God is a holy God and desires for us to be holy and pure, yet we find ourselves contaminating ourselves and areas of our lives with the things of this world. Why does God call us to live a life of purity? And what does a life of sexual purity look like in a world where there seems to be no purity remaining. Join us today. God bless.
Passage: Hebrews 13:4

Family Matters - Part 1: Let's Talk Sex

In the month of May, here at The Chapel Sydney, we focus in on family matters, whether it be marriage, parenting, family - all things family and to see what God says about it. This year, we look at some more difficult and uncommon topics around sex and sexuality. Today, we begin by looking at sex and where sex fits within God's kingdom. Sadly, sex is one of the most distorted topics from the bible so we are going to take a bit of time to look at what the bible says about sex. Blushing? It's ok. You'll be fine. God bless.
Passage: Genesis 1:27-28
