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

Becoming - Part 3: Becoming Together

Our becoming comes out of our belonging. When we understand our identity and who we belong to today, then naturally we will move into becoming. But can we do it alone? No. What's the role of community? Join us as we learn what it means to become together.
Passage: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Becoming - Part 2: Spiritual Training

To be healthy, we must all make choices that grow towards that health. We must be intentional, giving of time and space and have clear outcomes that we are moving towards. Being a Christian is the same. The goal? To be more like Jesus everyday. How do we become like Jesus? We've got to train. Join us today we look at what it means to train in our spiritual disciplines to continue to grow in becoming like Jesus.
Passage: 1 Timothy 4:7-8

Becoming - Part 1: Belong to Become

Today, we start a new series, called Becoming. As our church prepares to launch Become groups in May, Steve and I thought it was timely to teach on it, to help you to understand why 'become', and why this is an important practice of our faith. Whether you know it or not, with or without intention, you are becoming something. Depending on the choices we make we will become more like Jesus or more unlike Jesus.
