Pastors Letter (Page 4)

G’day Church, We’ve got a few events coming up to help us introduce people to Jesus. I thought it might be good to explain the logic of the way we’ve planned this. Sometimes we might have an opportunity for a gospel conversation come right out of the blue – like when a stranger on the plane asks about the book you’re reading and it all just cascades from there, for…

G’day Church, We had some great things raised in Question Time on Sunday, but time prevented us getting to a really helpful question about the deeper, bigger-picture things our Leadership Team are currently praying for us as a church. It was a great question to come out of Psalm 90, which encourages us both as individuals and as a church family to boldly lay our…

G’day Church, A few things to flag that are coming up for us at church: – Q&A this Sunday. We want to be a church that humbly wrestles with God and his word, asking our questions and looking to him to answer them through his word. Perhaps something has come up in recent weeks that you’d like clarified, or that has prompted some wider reaching questions you…

Hello Church, Have you noticed that we’re growing? Perhaps you’ve been around for a while and you’re welcoming a lot of new faces and helping them settle in. If that’s you – thanks for offering such a warm welcome to our many newcomers! Perhaps you are one of those new faces and you’re realising that a number of people you chat to are also fairly new too. If that’s you –…

Hello Church, What does it mean to belong to Trinity Church Brighton? That’s the question a whole bunch of our newest members have been thinking about over a meal this week, along with a few of our longer-term members who catered and welcomed our newcomers. We had lunch after church on Sunday attended by a little over 30, and dinner on Thursday with a few more than 20.…

Hi All, I hope this letter finds you well as we head into a long weekend. If you’re heading away, stay safe and do enjoy some good rest in God’s beautiful world. Don’t forget, you can fire up Spotify and catchup on Sunday’s sermon next week (maybe on the drive home on Monday??). We’re beginning a new book of the Bible at church this Sunday,…

Hi All, Hope you’ve had a great week so far. In this week’s email I have a couple of quick reminders, then I’d love to share about something exciting we’re starting at church over the next couple of weeks. TWO REMINDERS This Sunday we’re putting aside some time for Q+A. If you have questions coming out of the last few weeks we’ve spent…

G’day Church, Last week we sat with the weighty words of Romans 1:18-32. There is no doubt that it’s a pretty confronting passage. But over the years I have found  verses 18 to 21 a great summary of how God describes the problem at the heart of our relationship with him. It’s a great summary for us to get our heads around, and a great passage to have in mind as a go-to…
