This week Darrin Nicholson shared a timely word in season for our church about the tabernacle.
The Tabernacle was a representation of heavenly things on earth
Hebrews 8:5 - They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
The tabernacle's design, with its separation into the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies, the presence of the Ark of the Covenant, and the rituals performed by the priests, all conveyed spiritual truths and pointed to the ultimate reality of God's presence and His plan of salvation through Jesus Christ.
The Body – same as the Tabernacle it has three distinct parts Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
1 Thess 5:23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Body: The outer court of the tabernacle, representing the body, can be compared to the physical aspect of a human being. Just as the outer court was accessible to the Israelites, our bodies are the tangible part of our existence through which we interact with the physical world.
Soul: The Holy Place within the tabernacle can be likened to the soul. The Holy Place was accessible only to the priests, just as the soul encompasses our emotions, thoughts, and decision-making. It represents the inner aspects of our being where our personality, mind, and emotions reside.
Spirit: The Most Holy Place, also known as the Holy of Holies, corresponds to the spirit. This innermost chamber was only accessible to the high priest once a year. Similarly, the spirit within a human being is considered the deepest and most sacred part, connecting us to God. It is the seat of our conscience, spirituality, and our capacity to have a relationship with the divine.
This week, Pastor Rohan kicked off our new 'The Holy Church' theme with a message called God's House. He focused on scripture passages in Genesis 28:10-22 and Genesis 35:1-15.
This week Pastor Edwina introduces a video from the Founder of our movement Pastor Phil Pringle encouraging us on the concept of the 'Fire of God'
This week Pastor Edwina shared a powerful and challenging message about the Ascension of Jesus, what it means for us and how we can apply it to our lives today.
This week Pastor Jill hosted a panel of our women with questions about their roles as mums parenting children and young people and how they interact with them and other kids and young people in their world. Give it a listen for wisdom from these amazing women.
This week Pastor Rohan shared a message about Jesus as Servant. By referencing the books of John and Philippians, he showed us how Jesus washing the disciple's feet perfectly demonstrated His servanthood. To conclude, we were encouraged and challenged to consider the following questions in our personal reflections:
- When you think about serving others, what emotions do you experience? Do you feel joyful and fulfilled, or do you feel resentful or frustrated? What might these emotions reveal about your own sense of self-worth and security?
- What do you think are the main barriers that prevent you from serving others with a healthy sense of self-esteem? Are there any underlying fears or insecurities that you need to confront and overcome in order to serve others more freely and generously?
- How can you cultivate a genuine desire to serve others out of love, rather than a desire for affirmation or recognition? What practices or habits can you adopt in your daily life to help you develop a more selfless and humble attitude towards serving others?
This week our special guest Pastor Steve White shared a message with us about being honest with the Lord in prayer. He encouraged us to pray an Honesty prayer that has the power to shift our perspective. The Honesty Prayer has 4 parts to pray honestly to the Lord about: Our disappointments, delights, desires, and dreams.
With this in mind, what does the invitation to engage with the Lord look like for you?
This week Pastor Jill starts our next series in our Liturgical Plan 'The Son' (Lent) talking about Jesus - The Teacher.
This week Pastor Edwina explores the simplicity of what Jesus taught his disciples when they asked him "teach us to pray" and how that can help us in our lives of prayer.

This week Pastor Rohan introduced our overarching preaching theme for 2023 - The C3CPT Liturgical Year - with a devotional message on the first theme of Devoted.

This week Pastor Jill kicked off our return to face-to-face services with a short message on peace. Referencing the books of Mark and John, she shared how Jesus left us with the GIFT of peace. Peace that is greater than we could ever imagine, especially in times of distress, storms and anxiety.

This week Ali continued our Advent Series and shared on the topic of Joy this Christmas.
This week Pastor Rohan continued our Advent series with a message titled 'A tale of two kingdoms.' He discussed how the Christmas story demonstrates the difference between the kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this world. God’s kingdom is about humility, care and concern for others while the message of the world is about selflessness and taking for ourselves. A timely reminder as we prepare our hearts for the Christmas season.

Sharing from the books of Matthew and Acts, Jimmy explored the various ideas of Jesus we look to encounter and then demonstrates from the Bible the true Jesus. He left us with three practical takeaways to explore in our daily lives.
- Prayer
- Bible Reading
- Community
These are not new by any means, but sometimes we just need a reminder to prioritise them in our lives.
This week Pastor Rohan shared a devotion about Jacob and Nathanael's encounters with the Lord. Sharing from the books of Genesis and John, Pastor Rohan showed us how the story of Jacob in the Old Testament is reflected in the New Testament and how God has not forgotten you or your dreams.

It also demonstrates that sometimes we need someone to take us to Jesus.
