Mothers Day

The book of Acts & Mothers Day 

What do these two things have in common? Join us as we explore what the book of Acts has to teach up about the women in our community.

Easter 2022

Speeding tickets are the worst!

They are the worst, but they are always totally justified. When you get a ticket and the police show you the read out on the speed camera you can't argue. You may be ticked at them, you may be mad at your self, but you have to agree they are right. You broke the law, so now you have to give up some of your lovely money.

The story of Easter is the complete opposite of this. We 'break the law' and God pays the fine himself. 

Moving Outward | How

How not to be awkward, when talking about Jesus.

Over the last four weeks, we have been looking at why we should look outward and share our faith. Today we are starting a new series looking at the 'how' of sharing our faith.

It is awesome to be praying for people and doing good for them, but when you have an opportunity to give a reason for your faith - are you ready?

This new series is super practical, and today we are considering how to share our personal story of coming to know Jesus. 

Not Ashamed| Compassion

How much love do I need to tell people about Jesus? On almost every page of the Bible, there is the message of God’s love for humanity and that’s before we look at the life of Jesus! While Jesus was on earth we continually read ‘he was moved with compassion.' As amazing as it sounds, God really does love all humans! I guess technically you can share the facts about Jesus without love – but is the truth without love the truth that God calls us to share? This Sunday we looked at the place of compassion in reaching out.

Not Ashamed - Prayer

Is a relationship with Jesus boring?
I sometimes talk with people who feel that this whole Christian thing is now boring for them. It feels like a list of rules to do and not do, church I ‘should’ attend and so on.
 

Yet - when we pray, we call out to the creator of all who can do anything in and through us,  calm a storm, move a mountain, stop the sun. Maybe they have stopped daring to believe God for the impossible, and have settled for something much less than Christianity? On Sunday we are looking at the power of prayer in reaching out.

Not Ashamed - Looking forward looking outward

This week we are continuing with part two of a four-part series discussing where God might be leading Agora Church in 2022. Join us as we explore Romans 1:16 and discover the awesome power of the gospel in transforming our lives, our communities and our nation. 

Looking Forward, Looking Outward | 2022 Vision

God's will or my will?

It should be an easy question, right? But how do we know if we are following God's will or our own ambitions? How much guidance should we expect?

I think it is always tough figuring out God's will for my life. I often look for the exact direction or position He wants to lead me in, while I think sometimes God is more general than that.

If that is how confusing it can be personally, imagine how hard it is figuring out God's will for a church - whoa!

Starting this Sunday we are in our four part series discussing where God might be leading Agora Church in 2022. 

Hope | Part 4

If you are walking and you trip or skid or something, you instinctively reach out and grab anything nearby - a rail, a branch, a person - anything!

Yet, sometimes when we know God is calling us to something, we hesitate. We know we should reach out and trust Him, but so often we don't. 

Hope | Part 3

Advent is a call to worship the God who came. Jesus is the God who came and made his dwelling among us. This Sunday we explored this Jesus that we are called to worship, who is called to worship him and how that should change everything about us, both at this time of year and every other day too.

Hope | Part 2

So often in life, we allow our past or our current situation to define us, and even limit what we think we are capable of doing.

Think of where Jesus was born, and where He spent His first night. Do you think God allows our past to define us?
