The Chapel Sydney

As we continue our SHIP series, today we turn our attention to the only group of people that are in our lives without asking - our family. Every family is unique; every family is special but every family is broken. Join us as we continue to discover what God has to say about the relationships in our lives. God bless. Passage: 1 Corinthians 7:17

We continue in our SHIP series looking at the different relationships in our lives. Today we look at partnership in marriage. What is marriage? What does God say about marriage?

Who's in your boat? Throughout life, we have different people that we journey with - some for a season, some for lifetime.

Who is the master of your life? Who is steering the ship? Join us as we begin to look at the different relationships in our lives and how to navigate through life. God bless. Passage: Proverbs 3:5-6

Over the last 4 months, we have looked at the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ the son of God through the eyes of Matthew, one of His disciples.

God bless! Passage: Matthew 28:5-6

After three years of public ministry, Jesus makes His final turn into Jerusalem where He will face trial and be killed.

Passage: Matthew 21

Jesus continues to teach us about the kingdom of heaven and in today's passage, he touches on the idea of fairness and justice. What does the kingdom of heaven look like and who is it for?

Jesus is the new king who brings about a new kingdom. But what is the culture of this new kingdom? Join us as we continue our series in Matthew where Jesus teaches us about what kingdom culture is. God bless. Passage: Matthew 18

The world has millions of opinions about who Jesus is. But to each of us, there is only one opinion that matters - that is ours. Jesus will ask his disciples the most important question that is asked of us in this life time, "Who do say I am?" The answer to this question will change the course of our lives and our eternities. Join us as we continue our study in the gospel of Matthew - as we look at 'The King's Arrival'. Passage: Matthew 14-16

The kingdom of heaven is here but not all will be able to see it. This is the message from Jesus - that only those who have open hearts and open ears will be able to receive the kingdom of heaven. Join us as Jesus continues to teach us about His kingdom and who will be able to see and receive it. Passage: Matthew 13:1-23

In our series in the gospel of Matthew, Matthew the author continues to tell us about the life Jesus lived revealing who He was.

Join us today as we look at who Jesus is and the many responses that He received from those around Him - prompting us to have an opinion ourselves about Him. Passage: Matthew 11-12

Join us this week as we delve into Jesus's second discourse; 'The Mission Discourse'. We will see in Matthew 10 Jesus's instructions for all disciples on proclaiming the Kingdom and facing persecution. And we will see that we are called to a life of faithfulness not safety. Passage: Matthew 10

Jesus is the new king and with him brings a new kingdom. But what is Jesus like? What kind of characteristics does Jesus have? Why should we submit ourselves under his kingship? Join us as we continue our series in the gospel of Matthew, ' The King's Arrival'. God bless. Passage: Matthew 8-9

Passage: Matthew 5:1-12

Passage: Luke 15:11-32

Today we conclude our series in Galatians as Paul continues to write to the churches in Galatia. As he winds up, he takes time to outline what it means to be a follower of Jesus and how that is different from the world. Join us today as we also hear testimonies of those getting baptised. God bless. Passage: Galatians 6:11-18

Join us today as we continue our journey into Galatians. Today we will see in Galatians 6 that Paul is encouraging and warning us to sow into the Spirit and not our fleshly desires, to help those around us, and to continue to do good. Passage: Galatians 6:1-10

As a follower of Jesus, do you know that we are at war? It is the war between the Spirit and our flesh and it is ongoing and will be raging on until the day we die. However, when we walk by the Spirit, we can resist the desires of our sinful flesh and we can slowly but surely become more like Jesus. Join us as we continue our Galatian series and discuss the Spirit and Flesh War. Passage: Galatians 5:13-26

We continue our journey through the book of Galatians. Join us today as we learn about why the Galatian church were so tempted to go back to life without Jesus. Passage: Galatians 5:1-12

We see here Paul's pastoral heart for his people. Paul's perplexion to the Galatian church is evident as he notices their change in attitude, purpose and identity and encourages them to live in freedom and promise, not slavery and flesh. Join us as we journey through Galatians 4:12-31 and see the heart of God for his broken people. Passage: Galatians 4:12-31

As we continue our series in Galatians, we see the apostle Paul continues to call out the believers who are walking away from faith - what are you doing? Why are you going back to slavery when you've tasted freedom? Join us as we look at the difference between slavery and sonship. God bless. Passage: Galatians 4:1-11

We continue our series in the letter to the Galatians where Paul pleads with those who were going back to their old ways in trusting in the law. Jesus came to fulfil the law. So why was the law given? And what does it mean to be a child of God? Join us as we celebrate the work of Jesus in our lives. God bless! Passage: Galatians 3:15-29

What would you define as foolishness? Doing silly things, attempting impossibilities? As we continue our series in Galatians, Paul makes a big statement - 'You foolish Galatians!' Join us today to see why Paul makes such a big statement and how we can avoid the same fate. God bless! Passage: Galatians 3:1-14

Legalism refers to the strict adherence to the law or a set of rules, often to the point of being overly rigid or inflexible. In the Christian faith, we are saved by grace and given freedom. Yet as time goes on, we can fall into this legalism where it's not just grace but grace plus more. Paul addresses this to the church in Galatia and even stands up to one of the great disciples. Join us as we continue our series in Galatians. God bless! Passage: Galatians 2:11-21

Today we start a new series in the New Testament book of Galatians. This book is a letter written by the apostle Paul to the churches in Galatia dealing with some big theological and practical issues as believers turn away from the gospel they first heard and believed. What happens when we add things to the gospel of Jesus? Does it make it better? Does it change it? Join us as we begin our journey into the letter to the Galatians. Passage: Galatians 1:1-2:10

After an amazing conference weekend, as we come down from all the excitement and joy, we’re taking a moment this week to ask ourselves the most important question: why? Why did we have this conference? Why are we called to share the good news of Jesus? When we understand our “why,” it guides us in taking the next steps on our Christian journey. Passage: Luke 15:1-7
