Red Door Church

Reader: Marios Kyriakou Preacher: Josh Henessey Music: John Hudson, Josh Henessey & Natalie Tumbas Today Josh gives Red Door Church his testamony, and part of that is how two young men discipled him when he was a teenager. The unconditionally gave their time and other resources to help Josh understand who he is in God's Kingdom. There was a cost involved by these 2 men - a cost that Josh couldn't repay, and a cost these men did not expect to be repaid. Being a follower of Jesus and loving other people like he did has a cost. Are we prepared to really offer costly sacrifices to be a follower of Jesus? Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: John Hudson Music: Josh Henessey & Mel Truong Today John Hudson presents the final week of our Job mini-series.

Reader: Mel Truong Preacher: John Hudson Music: Josh Henessey, Joanna Justus & Bek Hudson Today John continues in a three week mini-series on the Book Of Job. Today's message is titled 'Miserable Comforters'. Job's friends initially sit with Job to bring him comfort, but then they try to solve why Job is suffering - saying he must have sinned and so he is being punished. John points out the error in their thought process. It is a similar trap that we can fall into, so John points out how we should respond when we face trials and sufferings.

Reader: Levi Dacion Preacher: John Hudson Music: Josh Henessey, Joanna Justus & Bek Hudson Today John starts a three week mini-series on the Book Of Job. Today's message is titled 'Questions Of Suffering'. John does not try to solve the question of why God allows suffering, but by the same token, he does not give the stock standard cliche responses that are often heard when this difficult topic is breached. Interestingly, even though Job suffers, it is God hwo allows Satan just enough rope that Satan hangs himself. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Judy Carr Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Henessey & Natalie Timbus Today Pastor Jonathan compares the person King David was and what he was meant, to be to King Jesus. David was tempted and gave in to his sin; Jesus was tempted but did not. David was punished for his sin; Jesus was punished for ours. Finally, David was pardoned from his sin because of the sacrifice he made; we are pardoned from our sins because of the blood bought sacrifice Jesus made.

Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: John & Bek Hudson, Joanna Justus Today's message is hard, however it is in the Bible, so we need to navigate this hard truth and understand both why this story is there and what is its purpose. The story of then rape of Tamar by her half-brother Amnon is full of evil. It proves that as a society, we are no different to the ancient Israelites. Sexual violence is too prevalent in our society. Pastor Jonathan encourages people who have been affected by te evil of sexual violence to come to Jesus for healing and hope. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Graeme Miller Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Henessey, Leslie Edis & Bek Hudson From the peak where David had God's heart in establishing the kingdom as a nation governed by God's law, he gives into his desires and has an adulterous relationship with another man's wife. When things go wrong (Bathsheba is pregnant), David schemes to cover the affair, ultimately leading to the murder of Bathsheba's husband Uriah. We are no different. When tempted by sin we can give in to it, or we can turn away. If we give in to the sin, we can repent and turn away or we can continue down the slippery road of no return. The choice is ours, and how we respond defines how we truly place our faith and trust in God. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Leslie Edis, Joanna Justus & Josh Henessey David had God's heart in establishing the kingdom as a nation governed by God's law, and in dealing justly with his people. In his personal life, David was less consistent, but his merciful dealings with Mephibosheth bear witness to his godly heart. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Anne Miller Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Henessey David thought is was God's will for him to build God a temple. It wasn't. So, how do we discern God's will? Jonathan explores how we can discern God's will for our lives, but we also need to realise that we also need to act in faith, and if it isn't God's will, he will redirect our plans to his. David wanted to build God a house but God redirected David's will to his own plan, which is far greater. Isn't this the same for us? Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Preacher: Jonathan Smith After failing to bring the Ark Of The Covenant to Jerusalem in the past, David learns from the past and transported the ark the way God instructed. After taking the first tentative six steps, he stopped and worshipped God. Like us, David recognised that there is nothing he could do to stand in the presence of the Holy God, but in God's mercy and compassion, He has provided the way.

Reader: Mel Truong Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Hennesey We begin our new series in the book of 2 Samuel in chapters 1-2. The previous king of Israel, King Saul is dead, along with his son, Jonathan. David’s response is to grieve the death of the man (Saul) who tried to kill him. He is then anointed king over Judah (the southern kingdom of Israel). We’ll learn more about 2 Samuel and King David in general, and we’ll focus on the theme of ‘anointing’ which is central to the book. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Reader: Joanna Justus Preacher: Tibor Tumbas Music: Josh Hennessy & Bek Hudson Over the past four weeks, Josh & Tibor have used Paul's letter to the Galatian churches to explain the gospel.

Reader: Levi Dacion Preacher: Josh Hennessy Music: Leslie Edis & Joanna Justus Over the past two weeks, Josh & Tibor have used Paul's letter to the Galatian churches to explain the gospel. Today Josh shows us what it means to live out the gospel, by surrendering our own desires so that we can live and be more like Jesus - or as Paul puts it, to live by The Spirit and not according to our flesh.

Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Tibor Tumbas Music: Josh Hennessy & Nat Tumbas Tibor shows how the early Galatian church started practising a false gospel; one where they believed they were justified in God because of faith in Jesus AND by fulfilling Jewish customs of the law - a faith that consists partly on their own merits. In our performance based culture, we need to be careful that we do not fall into the same trap. Nothing we do can justify us before God. Only our faith in Jesus, and the works that he has done (not us), can justify us. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Preacher: Josh Hennessey Music: Josh Hennessey & John Hudson Today we start a new mini-series on Paul's letter to the Galatians, led by Josh Hennessey and Tibor Tumbas. Josh leads us through the first chapter of this letter, expressing what the true gospel is. This is important because even now, some odd 2,000 years after Jesus's death and resurrection, we have churches teaching a gospel different to the one Jesus and Paul taught - and that gospel message is simply that it is by Grace Alone, Faith Alone, In Christ Alone that we are saved.

Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Leslie Edis & Bek Hudson Today Pastor Jonathan is taking us through the last topic in our series on The Apostle's Creed - The New Creation. Though the creed is not scripture, it clearly states beliefs that all Christians hold - the beliefs that are consistent across all churches and denominations. The statements contained in the creed are all substantiated by scripture. This message looks at the final lines of The Creed: “... the resurrection of the body and the live everlasting.” Jonathan challenges us to truly believe in the resurrection of our physical bodies, which is contrary to the dominant Greek philosphies of the time; to try and help us understand what has happened to people who have died in this life but have not yet been resurrected; and finally, to look at what life everlasting is all about.

Preacher: Bishop Brad Billings Music: Josh Hennessey, Bek Hudson & Joanna Justus Today Bishop Brad is taking us through the seventh topic in our series on The Apostle's Creed - The Church and The Saints. Though the creed is not scripture, it clearly states beliefs that all Christians hold - the beliefs that are consistent across all churches and denominations. The statements contained in the creed are all substantiated by scripture. This message looks at the line of The Creed that continues on from "I believe in the Holy Spirit" with: “... the Holy Universal Church, the communion of saints” Bishop Brad details how the church is NOT a bunch of buildings, but the people within, and then goes on to describe who belongs to the church - the saints.

Preacher: Jonathan Smith Music: Josh Hennessey & Joanna Justus Today Pastor Jonathan is taking us through the fifth topic in our series on The Apostle's Creed - Jesus Coming Again.

The statements contained in the creed are all substantiated by scripture. This message looks at the line of The Creed that reads: “From there he will come to judge the living and the dead” This can be quite scary and daunting, knowing that Jesus is coming back to judge all people, but Jonathan presents that this is actually very good news for believers.
