Lutheran - St. Paul's Sydney Podcast

Welcome to St Paul’s- we are happy you have joined us! This week we hear Jesus’ well-known parable about a farmer scattering seed on different soils. The seed is God’s Word, and the soil our hearts. We pray that your heart’s ‘soil’ is ready to receive the truth of Jesus- for He will shelter you in the heat of daily challenges and encourage your roots to grow deeply in His care. May you always know the grace and protection of God’s care. Presented by Pr. Allan TarusteSupport the show

God bless each one of you and thank you for joining us this week! Our Gospel reading reminds us that God gives us peace and rest; what life-giving words, especially at this time in history. Jesus tells us that we can live in God’s ways, being blessed with God’s care and provision. When the world is worrisome and confusing God’s Word brings us hope. May you dwell in the same Word this week and know that peace. Amen. Presented by Bishop Richard SchwedesSupport the show

May you be blessed this week, as you join us at St Paul’s! Today we are reminded of Jesus’ words to his disciples- that those who welcome them (and hear with joy their message of God’s love) welcome God himself into their midst. What a beautiful message for the people of God’s church! Those we meet bear the image of God and as we share God’s love with them we recognise his presence with us.The message is presented by Pr. Ray Pace of Toowoomba  Support the show

Welcome to St Paul’s! We are so glad you are with us this week. Often God’s Word gives us a challenge; this week is one of those times. Jesus tells us that we must follow him- at the same time he warns us that this will be difficult. Are you willing to give up the comforts of this world for the grace and joy of God’s Kingdom? Jesus promises that discomfort for his sake in this world will bring joy with him in heaven. May we be ‘up’ to the challenge of being Christ’s hands, feet and voice as we walk with him, facing difficulties that may arise with the courage of knowing we are God’s children. Amen. Message from LCA and read by Bridgitte WillshireSupport the show

Welcome to St Paul’s- we love to have you with us! This week we hear the Great Commission of Jesus- we are to go out and tell the world the Kingdom of God is near. A couple of Sundays ago we celebrated Trinity Sunday- that God is Three- Persons- In- One. What this really means is that God lives in relationship and love. Do you do the same? How can you walk alongside someone in your community this week, modelling God’s unending love and relationship? Perhaps this will lead to conversation about God’s Kingdom on earth- the Holy Spirit says we’ll get the words! God bless and keep you. Amen.Presented by Pr. Allan TarusteSupport the show

Welcome to St Paul’s! May God bless your time here.This week we celebrate one of the great mysteries of God- Trinity Sunday. God is revealed as three people in one, a difficult concept for our human minds but one that reveals the richness and beauty of our Creator. God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit bless us with a diversity of ways to be loved, accompanied and led towards fullness of life. We celebrate this Sunday with a Young-Adult-Led service, celebrating God’s gift of youth with us. May you feel the warmth of the fellowship of the Trinity with you this week. Message read by Shane RosenzweigSupport the show

Welcome to St Paul’s! This week we are joyful in celebrating Pentecost and God’s gift of the Holy Spirit! We also welcome Papua New Guinean interns from Warrambui, who will bless our service with song and stories. Please plan to enjoy lunch with us after worship- bring a dish from your own cultural background to share. The Holy Spirit is God’s gift to keep us in closer community with God and with each other. Let’s spend this week reaching out to our neighbours with the Holy Spirit’s grace and love!Message presented by Pr. Allan Taruste  Support the show

Thanks for joining us at St Paul’s this week! Did you realise Jesus was still thinking of YOU, even as he returned to his Father in Heaven? That’s right- look at his prayer from John 17- Jesus prayed protection over you as he went to be with God! Jesus’ desire was that you would be protected in God’s name, and that you would be drawn closer in unity with your Christian sisters and brothers all around the world. Isn’t that a beautiful thought? Remember, as you go through this week, that you are under the protection of our Lord, the Most High. Amen.Message presented by Pr. Allan Taruste Support the show

Welcome to St Paul’s! We love that you are here. This week we hear Jesus comforting us and reminding us that we will never be alone. He will send the Holy Spirit to be with us, to guide us and bring peace to our hearts. How wonderful to have a Saviour who cares for us so deeply! Indeed, we are privileged to be a part of God’s family- eagerly seeking the love that brings us eternal life through the cross of Easter. May you be blessed with peace and hope. Message presented by Dr. Bruce ArnoldSupport the show

Welcome to St Paul’s! There is room for you in God’s house! In these times of worldly trouble and strife, how good it is to reflect on these words of Jesus from John 14! Do not let your heart be troubled. Pass it over to the keeper of your life- let it be bathed in the peace and joy of the Holy Spirit! Recall this week our great hope- that we belong to Jesus, and that He has made a place for us with God, through His great act of reconciliation on the cross. Amen.Message presented by Pr.
