Mission: A Luminous Church

New City Church Sydney ·

2024/05/25

As we begin our series in Communitas, Rev Karina Kraminski opens up the mystery of mission - what it means to be listening to the heart cry of our world, and simply allowing the universal luminosity of Christ to shine in and through us.

As we end our series in Revelation, we encounter a deep reality, summed up brilliantly by Robyn Whitaker: To live with hope is not to live without despairthey are two sides of the same coin. Indeed, hope is required precisely in moments of despair when we feel utterly powerless to change our fate. We dont need hope when life is going wonderfully well! Perhaps that is why this text has particular appeal for those who know oppression all too well. It is a text for those who are in the minority, for

BETH RUSSELL: The struggle that's proof you're on track

What does the beast's number 666 mean, or that 144, 000 will be saved? Did Revelation intend to polarise Good and Evil? Is Armageddon the definitive end of the world and the human race?Along with answers to these questions, Revelation 12-16 offers a surprising and powerful message of encouragement when we listen like its original audience.

The Church at its BEST

New City Church Sydney ·

2024/05/04

As the world grows darker, Revelation bursts forth with a subversive image of the church - a great multitude from every tribe, tongue, and nation - gathered together before the very throne of God. There, the church undoes the destruction of the Empire. Not through military might or political prowess, but through worship, sacrifice, and honour. This passage in Revelation is confusing, challenging, and downright odd - but through it all we meet a God who cares radically about Creation.

JOEL HOLLIER: The Subversive Act of Worship

New City Church Sydney ·

2024/04/27

As we are drawn into the very throne room of God, we discover a ceaseless cycle of worship across the cosmos. Here, we are invited into a divine chorus that subverts the power of empire to worship the lamb that was slain.

Robyn Whitaker : Identity, Culture, and Faith

New City Church Sydney ·

2024/04/20

Identity, Culture, and FaithIn this talk, Robyn Whitaker explores the history and meaning of Johns messages to the seven churches inRevelation2-3. The common thread in the messages is an anxiety about how Christians maintain their identity and faithfulness to Jesus in the midst of a world that is sometimes hostile and mostly quite different to them. The messages of complacency, encouragement and rebuke raise questions that remain relevant for contemporary Christians as we seek to with in the

The Most Dangerous Book of All - Entering Revelation

New City Church Sydney ·

2024/04/13

Revelation throws us into unknown waters, holds us gently, and transforms us with a fierce love. As we begin our series in this dangerous, wild book, we orient ourselves to the style of literature, the themes, and our ways of reading it, and we prepare ourselves to slay dragons, cast crowns, and rest in hope.

New City Church Sydney ·

2024/03/09

Ever found yourself sitting across from someone thinking "we do NOT see the world the same way"? Ever been tempted to look down on that person? Label them a "deviant", a "fool", "sinner" or perhaps even "evil"? Maybe more to the point, have you ever looked at yourself and thought "I do not live up to the person I want to be"? Have you ever labelled yourself "pathetic", "loser", or "worthless"? Or maybe other people have slapped those labels on you? When Jesus dines with a man with labels ("tax

JOEL HOLLIER: An Expansive Encounter on the Margins

New City Church Sydney ·

2024/02/17

Have you ever felt like throwing Jesus off a cliff? You're not alone. Plenty of people have tried before, and usually it's because Jesus says something we aren't a fan of - like "my love is for EVERYBODY." As we begin a series in the book of Luke, we explore how Jesus went to the margins, and how we are called to follow.

JOEL HOLLIER: The Truest City - A Vision for 2024

New City Church Sydney ·

2024/02/10

As we hurtle into 2024, we stop as a community to picture the true New City - a vision of shalom as Jesus takes his rightful place of worship among the nations of the earth. And as we do so, we ask "how can we take part in this kingdom in 2024?"

Jonah : How does he keep making it into children's Bibles?The Jonah we meet in the biblical text is not the hero of my children's Bible. He's insular, exclusive and judgmental. When commanded to share the gospel with a group of people he despises, he can only manage 4 words in Hebrew. Yet that doesn't mean we can't learn something from him: don't be like Jonah. Instead, be like the "pagans" he abhorred - merciful, willing to repent, and compassionate towards outsiders. Now, doesn't that sound

JOEL HOLLIER : Courage Like a Scared Young Girl

New City Church Sydney ·

2023/12/02

Courage Like a Scared Young Girl As we go into Advent, we ponder the wonder of the incarnation - the perplexing, mystifying, divine reality that God would take on flesh. The eternal, bound by proteins and enzymes. The glory of God subjected to hiccups. And all the glory of the incarnation pivots on a young girl, in a land occupied by an oppressive force, in a backwater part of Galilee, who is betrothed to a man who just happens to have, somewhere in his lineage, a distant king. This girl would go
