Josh has a question that defined Christianity in the past. And, if we allow it to, can define us again in the 21st Century.2020-12-2227 minLesmurdie Baptist ChurchAdvent - JoySomeone said that joy, the way Jesus intends we experience it, is not so much the giddiness that goes away when circumstances are tough, as it is the ballast that keeps a ship stable and upright in the water even in a storm.2020-12-1528 minLesmurdie Baptist ChurchAdvent - PeaceIn many cultures the word Peace means the absence of war. But the Peace we celebrate in the Advent season is about more than that. Advent Peace takes what is broken and restores it. We look at Peace (Shalom) in the Old Testament and Peace (Eirene) in the New Testament to see just what true peace is. 2020-12-0823 minLesmurdie Baptist ChurchAdvent - HopeThis Sunday sees the start of the Advent Season when we prepare for Christmas Day through the lenses of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love.
These things have taken a bit of a hit this year for many people. Mark McCrindle, a well know Australian social researcher conducted a survey recently that showed that 56% of Australians say they are struggling to find any joy, anything good in 2020.

Part 4In this message Karen talks about what happens when we pray and there is no response. The Psalms in the bible include many prayers of lament but one of them (Psalm 88) stands out because it ends without the characteristic return to hope. Some of us will feel uncomfortable reading this prayer. It is extreme and urgent and it is not redeemed like so many of the other lament psalms are by a last verse return to something hopeful; something that suggests all will be well. But the thing is, this prayer is life for some. Some of us will read it...2020-11-1933 minLesmurdie Baptist ChurchGeff Gomez - CompassionGeff Gomez from Compassion shares with us.2020-11-1225 minLesmurdie Baptist ChurchWhat's the Point of Prayer? Part 3When you and I recognise nature worshipping God and are moved to do the same we are experiencing prayer as something physical; when we recognise a pleasant smell from childhood and thank God for love; when we hold another’s hand and are moved to thank God for comfort; when we hear a new born cry and remember the gift of life; when we taste good food and feel gratitude for all we have – we are experiencing prayer as something physical - something sacramental - something tangible that imparts or is a symbol of God’s grace.2020-11-0330 minLesmurdie Baptist ChurchWhat's the Point of Prayer? Part 2.This week Karen thinks about prayer as calling on the name of Jesus and considers the unexpected that is often the outcome as we find ourselves in unlikely places with unlikely people living uncommonly interesting and sometimes uncomfortable lives!2020-10-2731 minLesmurdie Baptist ChurchWhat's the Point of Prayer? Part 1We start a new series about prayer which we often experience as something quite mysterious and incomprehensible!

Grace is a small enough word and it makes a pretty name, but when it comes to matters of faith the concept of Grace can be difficult to nail down. Perhaps Grace is best described as freedom from what holds us down and being bound to step up to what is good.2020-09-0132 minLesmurdie Baptist ChurchThe Stuff of Life: Money and the HeartWhat is one thing that never goes out of style?

Karen shares two Bible stories that feature people taking a seat and to think about the implications of what they choose for our lives.2020-07-2129 minLesmurdie Baptist ChurchThe WeddingA wedding in the Palestinian village of Cana was just the sort of event Jesus was known to love, writes Rachel Held Evans. An event “packed with eating and drinking, music and laughter, the scent of roast lamb mingling with the perfume of flower garlands, the sweet taste of pomegranate, raisins, dates, and honey, the roar of animated conversation between family and friends…” Karen shares why Jesus was at this particular wedding. 2020-07-1618 minLesmurdie Baptist ChurchPrayer, Communicating with GodJosh looks at prayer and how we can all communicate with God from wherever we are.
