Panania Anglican Church Sunday Mornings

Jon talks about the biblical teaching on marriage and the biblical wisdom for dating, including a testimony from Julie about how they try to be complementary in married life.

Jon interviews Dr Dani Treweek about the meaning and experience of singleness and they discuss key Bible passages.

Jono concludes our series in Ephesians with Paul's desire for the church to stand firm together in the Lord's strength by knowing the battle they are in, putting on the full armour of God, and depending on God in prayer.

Rod explores how things are not as they should be, things as they are won't last forever, but Jesus will return as Judge and King.

Rod explains how Easter moves from tragedy to mystery to a final happy ending, based on Luke's account of the resurrection in Luke 24.

Jon explains how Good Friday is a good tragedy and offers not just to cleanse our emotions but cleanse our guilt.

Jon unpacks three household relationships where God calls us to honour Christ - the husband/wife, parent/child, master/slave relationshiops.

Oscar helps us see what it means to be brought into the light, challenges us whether we are children of the light, and urges us to walk in the light.

Rod uses the Parable of the Prodigal Son to open up the before-and-after of a Christian's conduct. He challenges us to put off the old "pigsty" behaviours and put on the robes of righteousness that our Father has graciously given us in Christ.

For our Combined Churches SRE Service, special guest Michael Hunt from Revesby Congregational Church reminds us of how God's grace shifts us to people of compassion who want to bring good news to others.

Guest speaker Stephen Gibson from Anglicare reveals how we are to live lives worthy of our calling in Christ: with a oneness that comes from our common salvation and God's own one-ness, so that we will grow in Christ-like maturity.

How can you improve not just your prayer-life, but your praise-life? Jon walks us through why Paul prays, who he prays to, what he prays, and how that leads to praise.

What is it that makes someone belong to the church? God's word reminds Gentiles (most of us!) that:1) It was God who brought you in - so who can question that you belong?2) God brought you in for his glory - so who can set any limits on God's grace?

Have you been saved by Jesus? Guest speaker Matthew Meek asks who needs to be saved, who saves who, and how are we saved?

Jono encourages us to keep going in following Jesus, even through the ups and downs. Ephesians 1 says we do that by knowing God better - his hope, his riches, and his power.

As we start a new series in the Letter to the Ephesians, Jon does some detective work on the letter and then we count our spiritual blessings.

Jon explores experiences of doubt that we have, examples of doubters in the Bible, and leaves us with some explanations of doubt.

Jesus teaches us how not to pray, and then how to pray. But is the Lord's Prayer only a prayer to repeat, or a framework to guide all our prayers into more power, purpose, and joy?

The prophet Amos warns us that complacency is a false sense of security, is expressed in a complacent lifestyle, and leads to unexpected judgement. Jon encourages us to find our true security in what Christ has done for us.

At the start of a new year Jon challenges us with the example of Josiah to consider whether we just need new habits, or a new heart.

Rod explores how God celebrates and the great feast he has prepared for us from Isaiah 25:6-9 & John 2.1-11.

Jon debunks the viral version of "peace on earth" and brings us back to the original, speaking from Luke 2:8-18.

Guest preacher Bishop Gary Nelson brings a Christmas message from 1 Sam 2.1-10 & Luke 1.46-55.
