What does real worship look like when the journey is long, uncertain, and costly? In this Advent message, Andrew Ridgway invites us to reflect on the Magi and their determined pursuit of Jesus. Though they were outsiders, they followed a star with holy curiosity, risking comfort, safety, and certainty to worship the newborn King. This message challenges us to rediscover wonder, embrace faithfulness over convenience, and recognise that true worship often requires sacrifice. Along the way, we’re reminded that encountering Jesus brings deep joy, fresh hope, and a changed direction. As we close out 2025 and look ahead to a new year, this message calls us to intentionally place Jesus at the centre of our lives and commit to walking the long road of worship with faith and joy.Subscribe for more life-giving messages, and find out more at anchorpointchurch.com.au⏱️ Timestamped Chapters0:00 Welcome & Advent introduction 2:00 The Magi and the long road to worship 4:37 Worship begins with holy curiosity 7:44 The cost and risk of true worship 17:06 Joy, hope, and a changed direction#anchorpointchurch #wearec3 #C3australia #c3churchglobal #worship #advent

In this message from the Red Letter Jesus: Become series, Pastor Rohan Bell unpacks one of the most powerful moments in the life of Christ—when Jesus washed His disciples’ feet (John 13:1–17). More than a simple act of service, this was a radical demonstration of humility, love, and identity.Through an engaging conversation-style teaching, Pastor Rohan explores what it means for us to live with a servant heart, why ego so often gets in the way, and how true humility flows out of knowing who we are in Christ. Together we wrestle with Peter’s impulsive response, Judas’ betrayal, and Jesus’ unshakable love that never writes us off—even when we fall short.Be encouraged to embrace the upside-down way of God’s kingdom, where greatness is found in serving, and where love is proven in action.⏱️ Timestamped Chapters0:01 – Welcome & Introduction1:00 – Reading John 13:1–17: Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet3:24 – Exploring Peter’s response and the tension of being “all in”9:00 – Jesus’ love for both Peter and Judas: grace despite betrayal16:00 – The upside-down kingdom: humility, ego, and true servanthood23:00 – Identity as the foundation for humility29:00 – The greatest act of love and call to love one another#AnchorPointChurch #Macarthur #RohanBell #RedLetterJesus #Become #SermonPodcast #John13 #Humility #Servanthood #IdentityInChrist #LoveInAction
