2 JUL 2024 · When Paul saw the early Christians returning to idol worship, he was disturbed by the behaviour and reminded the church in Corinth that those who worship idols will not inherit the Kingdom of God. In this sermon, Pastor Becky breaks down the meanings of the words in this passage that have been used to condemn loving same-sex relationships and shows us that they are all terms for those neglecting the teachings of Christ and engaging in the sexual worship of the common gods of the era.

25 JUN 2024 · Two same-sex couples from Melbourne Inclusive Church, Kiera and Jenny and Su-An and Cherlyn, share how God has been with them through their lives. How He has guided them in their journey of understanding their sexuality, relationships, faith and how He has blessed them in their marriages and even used their unions as a time to heal families and bring people closer to Him. These incredibly moving stories provide real life examples of why "unclobbering" is so important, so that others can join in this blessing and live in the freedom and healing that God provides.

18 JUN 2024 · In the book of Romans, Paul addresses how the people had exchanged the knowledge of God to instead worship man-made idols and foreign gods. Part of these forms of worship required men and woman to exchange their natural sexual orientations and o instead engage in same-sex behaviours as part of ritual practices. These passages have been used over time to condemn loving same-sex relationships. What Paul is addressing is going against our natural instincts whether same or opposite sex attracted, as a form of worship and thus nullifying the worship of Yahweh God, the creator of all things.

10 JUN 2024 · God told Abraham "I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing". Fast forward to the book of Leviticus where God explains how the people of God would become a great nation. In Leviticus, we find a series of Laws designed to help the Israelites live in a way that glorifies God and set them apart from the other nations and religions of the time. Though some of these laws have been interpreted to condemn same-sex relationships, Pastor Becky takes us through a brief history of the culture at the time and explains how these laws were actually about worshipping false idols.

4 JUN 2024 · The story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah has long time served as "evidence" for Christians to discriminate against the LGBTQIA+ community. However, through in-depth study of this passage, Pastor Becky sheds light on the true sins of Sodom: her inhospitality to outsiders and their pride and gluttony whilst the poor and needy suffered right outside her door.

28 MAY 2024 · "Remember Lot's Wife" - Luke 17:32 The coming of God's Kingdom is not fully here yet, but we can see that it's near.

21 MAY 2024 · "Bethlehem was God with us; Calvary was God for us; and Pentecost is God in us.” - Robert Baer  The receiving of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost gave the first followers of Christ the guidance and power to carry out the Great Commission, and just as Joel in the Old Testament prophesied, this gift of God's Spirit is still with followers today! "In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people." Acts 2:17a

13 MAY 2024 · When Jesus taught us how to pray He was doing more than just giving us a few lines to repeat in the Lord's Prayer. Jesus teaches us how to have a meaningful prayer life, one that teaches us about God's divine nature and gives us insight into our own selves.

6 MAY 2024 · The topic of money for some is a real blessing, and for others is a real dilemma or even a point of contention. Wherever we sit on the issue of money and giving, it’s in the Bible so we should learn about what the Bible says about money. What does it cost us to give?

30 APR 2024 · The Lord's Supper is a picture of the redemption from God for all people. What started in the beginning with God covering Adam and Eve came to completion in Christ. Throughout the ages we see God covering us but the means by which God does this changed over time. In the Garden it was God, in the Old Testament it was still God but God used a human being (Moses). In the New Testament God sent God's Son - Jesus Christ, both God and the perfect human being. Jesus Christ is our Saviour and Redeemer. He paid for our redemption with his body and blood. He now lives in every believer and asks us to go and share this good news. This meal that we share helps us to never forget the gift of Christ in our life and the sacrifice He made for every believer.
