Clayton Church of Christ: Recent Episodes
Clayton Church of Christ
In our When God Calls… series, we’ve been exploring what it looks like to respond wholeheartedly to God’s call in every area of life. On Sunday, we focused on Zacchaeus — a man who, despite his reputation and limitations, made himself available to Jesus and experienced a life-changing encounter. We discovered how being fully available opens the door for the Holy Spirit to work in us, bringing courage to step beyond comfort, face challenges, and live out God’s purposes. Please listen to this episode as we learn how availability meets God’s power, and how courage flows when His Spirit touches the deepest part of our hearts.

On Sunday, 14 September 2025, we joined with All Saints Anglican Clayton, St Andrew’s Presbyterian Clayton, Regeneration Church Monash, and Café Care for the first-ever Together for Clayton & Beyond combined service. This historic gathering was a powerful time of worship, prayer, and vision as we came together as one body in Christ.
Ps Michael Jensen gave us a short message for the day – God’s Heart for the City.

On Father’s Day, Ps Kyle shared an encouraging message about managing the tensions we can feel around what the world wants us to be. We might feel we are receiving mixed messages about what it is to be a man or a woman in today’s world, but the Bible has a clear and uplifting message of what it means to be someone who follows Jesus. While the world’s message might change with time, the truth of God in His Word stands true forever.

We had the privilege of welcoming guest speaker Kimberley Chan-Forney as she concluded our 2025 Global Series, Mission to Multiply. Together, we will reflect on the final words Jesus spoke to His disciples in light of the very first words God uttered to man.
What does it mean to live missionally and as a missionary between these two bookends of Scripture? Through historical insight and stories from the field, Kimberley will help us consider the nature of multiplication in missions.
Born and raised in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, Kimberley migrated to the United States at 17. Over the past 20 years, she has lived as a military wife, piano teacher, university educator, missionary, and language coach in America, Japan, and the Czech Republic before returning to Melbourne in 2020. Most recently, she served as Training Coordinator at Pioneers Australia before stepping into her current role as National Director of Missions Interlink, the Australian hub for global mission.

Ps Sheron continues with our Global Series, Mission to Multiply. From hopeless rebels to useful servants, the Lamb of God has set us free to stop being spectators and start being actors. Even in all our weakness and brokenness, He makes us useful for His mission to multiply His Kingdom.

We’re excited to welcome Bec Tai, Managing Partner at Game Plan Wealth Advisers, as she joins Ps Paul for a powerful and practical message in our Life in HD series.
With over 16 years of experience helping people align their values with their finances, Bec brings deep wisdom and a down-to-earth perspective on how our view of money is shaped not just by economics, but by the heart.
Together, she and Ps Paul Tucker will explore how God meets us in the pressure points of money, security, and trust—and how a Spirit-led life of stewardship can bring freedom, not fear.
Don’t miss this final week of Life in HD as we invite the Holy Spirit to speak into one of the most formative areas of everyday life.

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1 Cor 10:31)
This week, Ps Paul continues our Life in HD series by helping us see how even our most ordinary work moments can become sacred. Whether you’re on the tools, behind a desk, or managing the chaos of home life, the Spirit wants to meet you there. When we invite God into the grind, our jobs become more than survival; they become spaces of eternal significance.

This Sunday’s message is around the topic of our digital life. How do we navigate our faith in a digital world, and what are some of the challenges that come with living part of our lives online? Speaking from Isaiah 44, Ps Kyle will unpack how our devices can either be helpful tools or dangerous idols depending on how we use them and what our heart is seeking from them. Are we willing to re-evaluate our digital life in light of what the Spirit is saying to us, and are we being active in how we participate in this online world?

We’re starting a new series, Life in HD, where we’ll be talking about some of the most common life areas where people find it hard to invite God in (as voted by you!). Ps Sheron will be kicking the series off with the topic of Grace Under Pressure: Inviting God into the Home and Family Life.
As iron sharpens iron, the Spirit disciples us in the most emotionally charged places; growing our grace in the pressure cooker of home life.
