Our primary focus is in the letter to the Ephesians 1:3-14 which begins, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. These blessings in Christ are revealed to have been planned before the foundation of the world and are many. These blessings are in Christ bring us to the place of seeking His kingdom over any other and cause us to praise Him for His glorious grace. The study concludes by highlighting the seven beatitudes contained in the Revelation of St John the Divine. The final beatitude describes those who have had their robes washed in the blood of the Lamb as blessed with the right to the tree of life and to enter the city by the gates where we joyful worship our triune God. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/9242572872566 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 25 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Geoff Cottrell 0:42:44 no Geoff Cottrell - Unstoppable Divine Blessings https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/9162572011661 This is the fourth of five studies on the topic Unstoppable Divine Blessings, this time considering Jesus' teaching in the Beatitudes which appear to be in tension with Old Covenant (Mosaic) prosperity blessings. The approach is to begin with Mosaic promises of blessings in their homeland that were conditional on heart obedience. We need to see Jesus Christ as the only obedient Israelite and who is deserving of such blessing yet became curse for His redeemed people. We can then consider His teaching on blessing that rouses in us what is needed to renew our hearts to love God as He leads us to the everlasting homeland. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/9162572011661 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 18 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Geoff Cottrell 0:59:44 no Geoff Cottrell - Unstoppable Divine Blessings https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/91025759431918 This is the third of five studies on the topic of Unstoppable Divine Blessings. It focuses in on the blessings contained in the Aaronic High Priestly prayer, a familiar and often recited benedictory blessing. Do we understand what it means for the Lord to bless you by keeping you, to graciously make His face shine upon you, and for you to know peace with Him when He lifts His countenance upon you? God's plan to bless Israel, His firstborn son, is revealed through their redemption and covenant. The blessings brought through sacrificial atonement are highlighted in the Aaronic high priestly blessing. It is a prayer, given by God, that points to the efficacious prayer of our High Priest who always lives to make intercession for us. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/91025759431918 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 11 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Geoff Cottrell 0:35:31 no Geoff Cottrell - Unstoppable Divine Blessings https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/932582072107 This is the second of five studies on the topic Unstoppable Divine Blessing. This study focusses on the blessings given to Abraham and Israel and their spiritual significance for believers today. It highlights God's redemptive favour through the central blessing of relational presence, alongside the blessings of place (homeland), people (offspring/nationhood), purpose and protection. The promises to Abraham are received by faith. Those of faith in Abraham's seed, Jesus Christ, are the spiritual descendants of Abraham and the "Israel of God". Those in Christ are the recipients of the covenanted blessings in His new creation. In the now, and in the yet to come, they are fulfilled more gloriously in Christ than any alternative prosperity could hope for. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/932582072107 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 04 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Geoff Cottrell 0:37:07 no Geoff Cottrell - Unstoppable Divine Blessings https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/82825711163265 This is the first of five studies on the topic Unstoppable Divine Blessings. Whilst God blesses all of creation to flourish, People are specifically blessed by God's Word spoken directly to them. They are blessed to flourish in this blessed Place; blessed with a wonderful Purpose to Edenize the world and, most importantly to obediently walk in His Presence. In the Fall (disobedience, distrust, sin, autonomy) Man chose death, barring the way into Eden … but God has an unstoppable plan to bless through His Word. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/82825711163265 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 28 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Geoff Cottrell 0:40:27 no Geoff Cottrell - Unstoppable Divine Blessings https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/82025435305401 In this final study we read of Ruth's redemption by Boaz. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/82025435305401 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 21 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000 James Krieg 0:51:10 no James Krieg - God's Redeeming Love https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/81325737372035 In this study we look at the events which occurred at Boaz's threshing floor. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/81325737372035 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 14 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000 James Krieg 0:58:52 no James Krieg - God's Redeeming Love https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/87253984809 In tis study we look at the events in the field os Betlehem, where Boaz shows grace towards Ruth https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/87253984809 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 07 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000 James Krieg 0:53:32 no James Krieg - God's Redeeming Love https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/7312522813703 We continue our study on the Book of Ruth. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/7312522813703 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 31 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000 James Krieg 0:49:22 no James Krieg - God's Redeeming Love https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/7242525132394 In this series of five studies we will look at the Book of Ruth, and how this shows God's redeeming love. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/7242525132394 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 24 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000 James Krieg 0:48:28 no James Krieg - God's Redeeming Love https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/73252423926 This is our final study in this series exploring again the new way of life that has been re-created in us—by God's grace—in and through the service of Jesus of Nazareth (Romans 1-11)—the one Mediator between God and humanity (1Tim. 2:5). This new way of living has been revealed to us by the Holy Spirit's power, the Spirit who searches everything (Acts 2:1ff; 2Cor. 2:9-10). https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/73252423926 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 03 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Trevor Faggotter 0:54:55 no Trevor Faggotter - The Transformed Life https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/6292542125464 A Talk and accompanying booklet by retired surgeon Neil McIntosh in 1993 entitled "A View of Sickness and Its Healing". https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/6292542125464 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 29 Jun 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Neil McIntosh 0:41:17 no Neil McIntosh https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/6262532155198 In thinking of the benefits of Jesus' crucifixion, the significance of co-crucifixion with Jesus Christ in the cross, is often understated or passed over.

The topic's importance, however, is not that we think it is important but that our God says it is and he treats himself, and therefore his people, with great seriousness. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/13025232566335 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 30 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Ian Pennicook 0:55:23 no Ian Pennicook - Ministers of the Word and Sacr https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225859376149 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225859376149 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 10 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Nat Mills 0:35:36 no Nat Mills - Summer Camp 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225859424205 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225859424205 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 10 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Trevor Faggotter 0:41:26 no Trevor Faggotter - Summer Camp 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225859146840 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225859146840 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 09 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Siew Kiong Tham 0:33:31 no Siew Kiong Tham - Summer Camp 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225859223328 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225859223328 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 09 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Ray Bell 0:44:09 no Ray Bell - Summer Camp 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225859293086 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225859293086 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 09 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Andrew Klynsmith 0:50:24 no Andrew Klynsmith https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/1122583718270 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/1122583718270 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 08 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Simon Dent 0:34:07 no Simon Dent - Summer Camp 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/1122585981363 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/1122585981363 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 08 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Nathan Elgar 0:44:21 no Nathan Elgar - Summer Camp 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225837115458 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225837115458 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 07 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Jonathan Mitchell 0:38:50 no Jonathan Mitchell - Summer Camp 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225837155478 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225837155478 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 07 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Ray Bell 0:44:20 no Ray Bell - Summer Camp 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/112258377544 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/112258377544 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 07 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Trevor Faggotter 0:45:25 no Trevor Faggotter - Summer Camp 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/1122583267096 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/1122583267096 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 06 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Andrew Klynsmith 0:33:08 no Andrew Klynsmith - Summer Camp 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225835507380 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/11225835507380 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 06 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Trevor Faggotter 0:41:09 no Trevor Faggotter - Summer Camp 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/926243927893 åçThese sessions have developed out of a sense that somewhere along the line we may have drifted from the somewhat excited attitude of the writers of the four Gospels toward all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning (Acts 1:1).

In 8:6 we are told that "the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises", and follows this statement with promises contained in the prophecy of the new covenant in Jeremiah 31:31-34. The superior nature of the way God has spoken through His Son, the creational rest in which we were created to live has been entered through Him, the Great High Priest who ever lives to incterce for us, and His once-for-all sacrifice that cleanses our conscience, all open up a way for all God's covenant promises to be wonderfully fulfilled in Jesus Christ. In this study the relational promises of a new heart and an eternal hope are opened up for us to believe and live in; loving God, knowing God and dwelling eternally with Him who is our Hope.. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/432451255386 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 04 Apr 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Geoff Cottrell 0:45:33 no Geoff Cottrell - The Epistle to the Hebrews https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/325241959192256 This is the fourth of five studies from the letter to the Hebrews. The writer observes that the first (Mosaic) covenant has been made obsolete by the new. Unlike the old covenant's most holy sacrifices performed annually on the Day of Atonement, Christ's once-for-all sacrifice did something perpetual and powerfully effective regarding removal of our sin & guilt, cleansing our conscience, and opening up service in the heavenly sanctuary. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/325241959192256 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 28 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Geoff Cottrell 0:43:16 no Geoff Cottrell - The Epistle to the Hebrews https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/3192431912872 This is the third of five studies from the letter to the Hebrews. Whilst fearing unbelief itself, we live holding fast to our confidence, boldly approaching the throne of Grace with a clear conscience because we have a High Priest. They (we) are not left with a threat of judgement; all that they need to endure and enter God's rest is found in our great high priest. They aren't to focus inwards "trying harder" to work up faith, they are to focus on Jesus Christ. These passages in Hebrews do exactly that; they draw their attention to Jesus Christ, their great high priest - their confident hope. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/3192431912872 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 21 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Geoff Cottrell 0:46:39 no Geoff Cottrell - The Epistle to the Hebrews https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/31324743237783 This is the second of five studies from the letter to the Hebrews. The writer reminds the readers that the Holy Spirit's exhortation written by David in Psalm 95 is current. The creational rest that began in Eden can be entered by an enduring faith in Christ. This rest remains by the grace of God, despite unbelief & disobedience at the fall, and despite unbelief in the desert that prevented entry to rest in the promised land. Unbelief and disobedience are shown to be synonymous, deadly and a constant danger to fear. The Christian community, God's house, are instructed to exhort each other daily to remember and trust in God's promises. Whilst fearing unbelief itself, we live holding fast to our confidence, boldly approaching the throne of Grace with a clear conscience because we have a High Priest. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/31324743237783 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 14 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Geoff Cottrell 0:48:26 no Geoff Cottrell - The Epistle to the Hebrews https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/362478322930 This is the first of five studies from the letter to the Hebrews. The writer exhorts the readers to hold fast to their faith in Jesus Christ and not drift back to the Old Covenant. This drift was happening because of cultural and physical opposition to the Gospel as well as lazy inattention. It is addressed by contrasting the finality and superiority of the New Covenant to what has come before as well as strong exhortations against going back leading to apostasy. In these five studies we'll be focussing on passages that pick up five such contrasts: Superior Revelation, Priesthood, Sacrifice, Covenant and Kingdom. In this first study the writer contrasts the way God has spoken in the past (revelation) to His superior and final Word by Son and exhorts us to pay closer attention to Him. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/362478322930 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 07 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Geoff Cottrell 0:43:35 no Geoff Cottrell - The Epistle to the Hebrews https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/22824416136902 Holiness or in theological language, sanctification, is a difficult topic to discuss. Part of the reason is that we have held on to a secular understanding of the term rather than what is given in the Word of God. This understanding of holiness pertains mainly to personal righteousness and purity. So, we strive to be holy. We make every effort to be holy. This is not totally wrong. However, this cannot be our starting point. We need to dispel this approach. The idea of the holy as given to us in the scriptures is quite different. This is also complicated by several centuries of theological formulations.

True worship reshapes the devotional life, the worship and service of God's people, to give priority to loving the Lord our God, with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength. We might say this is where the rubber hits the road. This is an ambitious topic. I don't have a master plan to change the culture of Australia. I am still struggling to change the culture in my church, let alone Australia. I can only set out a few guidelines to help us get a handle on it. I will narrow the topic down to God's covenant with humanity. As long as we subordinate the gospel to our culture, we are not going anywhere to change anything. Jesus said we are not of the world, just as He is not of the world (John 17:16). In other words, we are not to adopt the methods of the world, no matter how attractive they may be. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/218241230255437 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 12 Jan 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Siew Kiong Tham 0:41:45 no Siew Kiong Tham - Summer Camp 2024 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/2182412355923 So if anyone is in Christ: New Creation! Everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; (2Cor. 5:17-18). We are created, redeemed, and glorified with a teleological bent, to move purposefully toward the telos. To continue in the Word of Christ is to be 'free indeed' (John 8:36); free to participate by faith in the Life of God. In Union with the Triune God, we share in the fruitful mandate for creation (Psalm 8), making his plan known to the nations (Eph. 3:8-9). We participate (2Peter 1:4)—and will partake—in the divine nature (Theosis). Saved by grace (Eph. 2:8), kept by grace, 'we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life' (Eph. 2:10). Prayer: O Lord, may we embrace our vocation as people of hope, 'proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and [hopefully] without hindrance' (Acts 28:31). All this, amid less-than-ideal circumstances in this age (Acts 29 ☺). All praise and glory to You: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/2182412355923 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 12 Jan 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Trevor Faggotter 0:36:49 no Trevor Faggotter - Summer Camp 2024 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/211241245271302 Prior to his ascension, Jesus revealed the extent of the 'witness' of the disciples, from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. The gospel is to be proclaimed throughout the world, as a prelude to the Telos (Matt. 24:14). The outward movement of 'the gospel of God' (Romans 1:1), and the spontaneous expansion of the Christian Church are all central to the plan of God, under the Spirit's power to bring about the 'obedience of the faith' (Romans 1:5; 16:6) among the nations, is the clear intention of God; we are all part of that plan, as we go (Matt. 28:18-20).

The matter of death is also something we don't like to think about as it spells the end of all that we are but more than this it is feared due to the divinely underwritten expectation of judgment due to humanity's guilt before God. Yet it is precisely this necessity that humanity needs to have happen to it for the true life of God to be received and known. The 'must' of Jesus prophetic utterance of his death and subsequent resurrection was because it was God's plan from before the world's creation, revealed as the Divine promise imbedded throughout the whole Old Testament. Jesus was thereby revealed to the world at God's arranged time, to die and be raised according to God's foreordained plan, so that "all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:12-13). https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/24241041372068 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 11 Jan 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Darian Jones 0:33:22 no Darian Jones - Summer Camp 2024 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/24241055474507 As Christians experience 'push-back' and opposition to their proclamation, they are sharing in Christ's sufferings (1Peter 4:13). The sufferings endured by the apostles as they went about their public ministries has provided encouragement to the church universal (1Peter 5:9; Hebrews 13:3) to learn to face suffering, imprisonment and persecution as Christ's people (Matthew 5:11-12; Acts 16; John 21:18-19). Paul wrote fruitful letters from prison, bore witness to Christ in prison, and saw some amazing things happen in prison, while he preached this new 'freedom' for humanity and for creation (Acts 26:29; Galatians 5:1; Romans 8) https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/24241055474507 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 11 Jan 2024 12:00:00 +0000 James Krieg 0:39:36 no James Krieg - Summer Camp 2024 https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/128241223185110 Jesus is the true Man, and the Father has made him Lord over all creation. Today as enthroned Lord he is fulfilling the mandate to humanity, 'being fruitful, multiplying and filling' the earth, and subduing and having dominion over all the nations. This is with the goal of 'delivering the kingdom to God the Father' so that 'God may be all in all' (1 Cor. 15:24, 28), among all the nations. Jesus, the true Adam, fulfills this through his Bride the Church in the power of the Spirit, by the Word. In Athens, we see the reversal of Babel continuing as idolaters are restored by faith in Christ to true sons and daughters – true image bearers – of the Father.
