Christ the King

This post has been adapted from a sermon I delivered at Ashburton Baptist Church in Melbourne, Australia on 20 November 2022. You can listen here to the recording of the sermon on the Ashburton Baptist Church website. The image of Jesus being crucified on the cross is one Christians are intimately familiar with.  From where we sit today, we know that this was one of the most influential and pivotal moments in human history.  We read of Jesus’ resurrection and the many people who attested to it, we know that Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Father ruling with grace and love… Read More »Christ the King

In the Truth But of the World

This article is part of a series of posts about my experience coming to, being in and leaving the Christadelphian Church and how my faith has grown, developed and evolved since. Whilst I no longer consider myself Christadelphian or aligned to a Christadelphian worldview, it is important to note that these articles are an expression of my personal journey and experience and not from a place of animosity or ill-will to any Christadelphian or the community at large. I have high respect for the commitment Christadelphians have to their faith and am very grateful to those in the community who have had a positive impact… Read More »In the Truth But of the World

Decentralised Power and Biblical Leadership: Lessons From Exodus 18

Photo by Jehyun Sung on Unsplash Never see a need… At high school I was in MacKillop house, named after Mary Mackillop who was Australia’s first Catholic saint. At the front of my year 7 classroom, we had Mary Mackillop’s most famous quote: ‘never see a need without doing something about it’. It’s a quote that has stuck with me ever since. My school’s Catholic ethos resulted in a deep commitment to social justice and instilled in me a relentless drive to help others and make the world a better place. I’ve always been a busy person, juggling more than I can properly balance. Knowing… Read More »Decentralised Power and Biblical Leadership: Lessons From Exodus 18

Good Samaritan in the City

When my year 9 class went into the city for an ‘amazing race,’ I was faced with a challenge… A young boy, dressed in a school uniform was asleep, arms and legs sprawled across the platform at Parliament Station, one of the busiest stations in Melbourne’s CBD.  It was long past the start of school and the public were unalarmed, carelessly walking past him.  I turned to my group, ‘Do you think he’s Okay?’  One member replied, ‘He’ll be fine, come on, we need to get to Parliament House.’ I knew it wasn’t right.  I had to do something.  ‘Come on, if we stop we’ll… Read More »Good Samaritan in the City
