Have you ever felt like the culture we live in doesn't affirm your faith or encourage you in your spiritual walk? In this episode of Family Worship, we're diving into the book of Daniel, and the famous story of Daniel in the lion's den. We are looking at how we can live and work for God’s glory in a culture that doesn’t always respect that.  You see, Daniel was an outsider – he'd lived most of his life as an exiled Jew in Babylon, and he wanted to live faithfully for God in a foreign land. Today's message comes to you from Dan Sercombe, who is the pastor of Redemption Baptist Church in Carindale. Redemption Baptist is a church seeking to love and serve Jesus, by helping each other grow up in maturity, so that we might represent Him well in this world.

How many people did you really notice in the last week?   For those who live in a city, you could drive or walk past tens of thousands of people in a week without ever really noticing them... unless they do something wrong. It's easy to go unnoticed in a crowd, but in this message Jason Elsmore speaks about how Jesus would notice people in a crowd.  Even when Jesus was being mobbed by a crowd, he would pay attention to people and their needs.   This message is all about the woman in the crowd who needs healing, and doesn't go unnoticed. You can read about her story in Luke Chapter 8. Jason Elsmore leads Gateway Baptist Church along with his wife Susan.  Jason is also the Director of Queensland Baptists.  Gateway Baptist Church is a multi-campus church, with locations at Mackenzie, Redlands, Ormeau, Logan, Brisbane City as well as online.

We all know the story of the woman who was brought before Jesus, having been caught in the act of adultery. Jesus' response to her accusers are some of his most well known words - 'let those of you without sin cast the first stone'. This is an example of someone looking into the face of Jesus and seeing the grace of God extended to humanity. It's also the story of how our worst days can also turn into our best days.

Joy Graetz is part of the leadership team at Cornerstone Christian Church in Alderley, and in this message looks at how family, both now and in the past, has rarely been a picture of perfection. It's comforting to know that even in Biblical times, family life has been messy, but how did things change when Jesus was born into his family? And how should we respond when family does not look like what we expected?

This week we welcome Ben Fein, the Community Pastor at Oasis Church in Bray Park.  Ben looks at the confronting topic of money and how Australians are among the richest in the world. It's a confronting topic as Jesus explains how hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God. But through the story of Zacchaeus, God's powerful grace is reviled over out wealth.  Links You Should Click OnOasis Church's Website96five's WebsiteFollow us on Instagram & FacebookSupport the show: https://www.96five.com/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
