Jesus for the Curious is a four week course where you can investigate who the man from Nazareth was for yourself.
It's great for adults who've got kids with questions about God they can't answer, or those who've wanted to revisit what they learned in school or church many years ago.
You won't be asked to pray or read the Bible - just bring your curiosity and questions. It starts tomorrow night - August 7th at 7:30pm up at the church on Central Avenue (just look for the big ...glowing tower!) I hope to see you there,
Stuart.

Predestination - more than many other words throughout the Scriptures - can often be very polarising to Christians, from across a spectrum of denominations. And whilst every single instance of 'predestination' in the Bible is set in a context that is supposed to bring courage and hope, it is often a stumbling point, and can often be synonymous with the words “arrogant” and “hypocrisy” when used by non-Christians.
Interestingly, the words #predestined and #elect have their ety...mological roots in the Greek word “eklektos”, which means “picked out” or “chosen”. In today’s culture, we use a similar word for choosing our political representatives - those who we have deemed worthy to hold our collective views, perspectives and beliefs on our behalf, and to enact change and bring about proper governance within our society through them. We use this word as a democratic term of leadership for one who is heralding something bigger than just any one of us, for the good of something "more". It is inclusive, it is expansive, and it is always inviting us into something new.
At NewLife Oran Park, we long to see NewLife in Jesus in every home - it is a vision of salvation, for the good of the community and the glory of God. We see integral words like #predestined and #elect as offering a call to hope, an invitation to community, to offer a fresh start with God. These words we recognise here, are essentially verbs - they are much less nouns, and much more a call to action.
We’d love for you to join us in this remarkable invitation of grace and responsibility to do something with this world - to enact change, to witness growth, to see the eyes of the blind opened, to loose the chains of injustice and to set the oppressed free. ~a #NewLifePartner

Value your prayers for this crazy team from Norwest Anglican and NewLife who have come together to put on our kid’s day camp today. Pray kids hear the message of new life in Jesus and join His Team!
Stuart.

How often do we compare ourselves to “that” social media influencer - you know, the one with a million followers: the woman who has invented a new way of allowing millions of people to have access to fresh drinking water; or the man who has donated millions of dollars to the plight of refugees; or a thousand other people we read about every day online. It’s not that any of these are bad - we pray unashamedly for God to raise people up to seek justice, truth and equality acros...s our world like them! The problem is how we allow it to be a comparison to the much different path that all of us uniquely walk.
For all the internet is, (and there are obviously a million reasons why the internet is a giant leap forward), it can create in us a skewed perspective of reality. It has a way of making us feel smaller and insignificant compared to those who are doing "more". It can have a way of devaluing a gift that which ONLY YOU can give.
But when you sit with someone who is suffering; when you share with someone who is without; when you pour out that which is most precious to you for the good of someone else - it is more valuable than all the followers on the web. Holy and pleasing to God.
Your sacrifice is more important than you know and will often mean the world to someone. And no one may ever know. ~a #NewLifePartner.

Excited to see plans that commit to putting rail underground through the existing suburb of Oran Park and protect the beauty of Cobbitty and Camden.

NewLife is doing Christmas in July. Join us for a great night out together at the Camden Valley Inn. It's a no kids night but you are free to bring your own tinsel and tiny trees!
There's no set menu - order what you'd like - and pay as you go. In short it's really laid back and you're not constrained in any way - we'd just like to hang out and we're using the icy temps as an excuse :-)
We've got some seats set aside at the Inn so if you can RSVP here by July 9th that would be super helpful.

We love reading the Word of God together and to encourage each other to be living out our Faithful value as a church we have a daily Bible reading plan. If you've got your own - keep going! If you don't have one perhaps you'd like to join ours. Just remember the day of the month and that's the chapter of Acts we'll be reading across June together. Encouragement, faith, hope, and the foundations of our Christian community are recorded here - dive in!
Stuart.

When I think of the bigness of a God who flung stars into space and who wrote the laws of the universe and spoke creation into existence; a God who spins electrons and sets the path of each infinitesimally small particle according to His pleasure; when I think of a God who measures time and numbers our days with the span of his hands - it stands to reason that a God this big should make me feel minuscule, unnecessary and even irrelevant.
But when I meet with the One who knows... my deepest fears, my most secret thoughts, and my most inner desires; He has a way of calling me out of myself, through His affirmation and validation of who I am. He causes me to leave my fears behind and into something new.
In my life, (and with much-needed perspective), the things that look like random, chaotic, and even painful trials, have turned out to be a carefully, choreographed and orchestrated moments of growth and renewal. How wonderful is it to know that we can trust God with all of it - the God who purposely knit you and put you together just the way that you are. ~a #NewLifePartner
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb". #Ps139_13.

‘Stop, Revive, Survive’ is a day set aside to focus on our marriages.
Relationships seldom die because they suddenly have no life left in them. Rather they whither slowly because they have not had the kind of up-keep, work, time, love and caring that they require to flourish.
A marriage needs work to thrive and a couple need knowledge and skills to work effectively.
... Geoff and Kathy Leader will be helping us on the day through directed teaching sessions and time set aside to discuss and work on issues together as a couple.
Take some time to Stop, Revive, Survive and put it into your calendar now. If you've got kids now is the time to book your baby-sitting for Saturday June 9th 9-3pm.
If you'd like to know more drop us an email via admin@newlifeanglican.org.au
The cost of $15 per head ($30 a couple) will cover all food for the day.
