How is 'Christianity' relevant for today’s culture?

In August Engage City Church's Mission Teams will begin an eight week study lead by Tim Keller. I'm thrilled by the content of Kellers "Gospel in Life - Grace Changes Everything" resource. I highly recommend it to anyone following or considering following Jesus.

Hearing for the first time

This is absolutely one of the best 'ahhaah moments' I've seen for a while. It's a clip of eight month old Jonathan as they fire up his cochlear implant and he hears his first sounds, specifically his Mum welcoming him. Hey men it's okay if you have a slight urge to squint and wipe some dust out of your eye when Jon's dummy literally drops out of his mouth. I love the significance of this moment. Fantastic.

Dragons are smokin in 2010

I love the National Rugby League table right now. St George Dragons are sitting pretty on the top of the table and though it is a long way to the final, I love the way the Dragons have matured under the steady hand of Master Coach Wayne Bennett. After a disappointing five years under Nathan Brown it's been great to see how Wayne has been able to coach the Dragons to a minor premiership in his first year (2009) and with just two losses this year I hope they go all the way. I love the Red and White.

The fact that my mate Ian White's team the Manly Sea Eagles are tracking a close second only makes the winter that much more fun. Go the Sunday arvo footie.

Engage City Church | Recycle 2010

This past Saturday Engage City Church cycled their way into history smashing the competition and winning the title of support raising champions for the Leprosy Missions ReCycle 2010. With all funds going to help people with leprosy, I’m so stinking proud and excited of the Engage Team.
You guys and gals ROCK!

The Fan - New series begins this Sunday

Hey, join us this Sunday as we kick off a new series "The Fan". Over the next few weeks we'll be laying the foundation for what Engage City Church is on about. As a new church we exist to see people far from God engaged with Jesus and the life He offers. We exist to see people become followers of Jesus. The dictionary says that a fan is "an enthusiastic follower." We exist to see people become raving fans of Jesus Christ.
