Sunday 1st September - 8.30am

Pease note that we have a change in service times for this week only.

Due to a Sudanese Arabic service in Shepparton on Sunday, our service at Trinity will begin at 8.30am. I hope to see you all there to celebrate the mercy of the One who humbled Himself for you and me!

Here are the readings:

Proverbs 25:6,7 The wisdom of humility

Hebrews 13:1-8,15,16 Obligations in community, home, and church

Luke 14:1,7-14 Humility and hospitality

God bless

Pastor Matt

Sunday 25th August - 8.30am

This Sunday our epistle reading contrasts Mount Sinai - the mountain where the Lord gave Moses the Law - with Mount Zion - the city of the living God. This contrast  is presented to us in the most vivid of language. Sinai is remembered as a place where the people were awestruck by the glory of the Lord and terrified lest they be consumed because of their unworthiness. It was a place where God's good and perfect Law left them despairing of themselves and their inability to fulfill it. It was a place that prepared the way for Mount Zion - the place where there is forgiveness and life, where the blood of the Holy Son of God is sprinkled on us and cleanses us from all unrighteousness. Mount Sinai reminds us of the Law of God and the terror it must strike in our hearts if we are honest about ourselves. But Mount Zion proclaims the Gospel of our Lord Jesus loudly and abundantly that we may rejoice in His forgiving love.

How good it is to come to the city of the Living God and to stand secure in His presence because of the blood of Christ alone.

Service begins at 8.30am.

Here are the readings:

Isaiah 58:9b-14 The Lord calls on Israel to obey him

Hebrews 12:18-29 Mount Sinai and Mount Zion contrasted

Luke 13:10-17 Jesus heals a crippled woman on the sabbath

God's peace be with you!

Pastor Matt

Sunday 18th August - 11am

Service tomorrow will begin at 11am

Here are the readings:

Jeremiah 23:23-29 The word of the living God is active
Hebrews 11:29 - 12:2 The great cloud of witnesses
Luke 12:49-56 Jesus the cause of division

Pay special attention to the 'great cloud of witnesses' and think about whether they are the examples of faith that the world would expect. I don't see too many 'holy Joes' in there. Just a bunch of sinners who trusted in the Lord for mercy and forgiveness. Heroes not on their merits, but on the merits on the One in whom they trusted.

See you in the morning as we celebrate the Lord's continuing feast of forgiveness.

God's peace be with you,
Pastor Matt

Sunday 11th August - 8.30am

My apologies for the late posting.

Tomorrow's service begins at 8.30am. Pastor  Brett Kennett from the District will be our guest preacher, focusing his attention on the epistle reading from Hebrews 11.

Here are the readings:
Genesis 15:1-6 Abraham justified by faith in God's promise
Hebrews 11:1-3,8-16 Living by faith in God's promise
Luke 12:32-40 Be ready for Christ's return

Every blessing as you prepare for worship tomorrow.

Pastor Matt
