Sunrise this morning looking East toward Box Hill.

We’ve moved out of our house a few days ago and have been staying in a serviced apartment across the road for our last few nights in Melbourne.

Thanks to Megan, Andrew, Leighton, Sharon, Dave, Ben, Vanessa, Eliot and Kelsey for helping us move out! And massive props to Rowena for coordinating everything!!

Tonight is our last night in Melbourne! Excited to be in Sydney with family for #Christmas and expectant ahead of our move to Brisbane in January!!!

// WHEN THEY SAW THE STAR

INSTAGRAM YO

An amazing day celebrating the birth of Jesus – the King of Kings – at #CityonaHillMELB!!

“When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.” (Matthew 2:10-11 #ESV)

STEVE FINDS ASSURANCE IN JESUS

INSTAGRAM YO

This is Steve (on the left). Even though he has heard a lot about Jesus before, he still had a lot of unanswered questions about why Jesus came.

After our Many Rooms lunch today, we sat down, opened the Bible and attempted to bring clarity on the good news of Jesus.

Steve has a rough background and wasn’t certain that God would accept him. We spoke about the finished work of Jesus on the cross in the place of sinners and the certain hope that Jesus’ resurrection brings to all who trust in Him.

We prayed together as Steve turned to Jesus!! It was a joy to see Steve grasp the message of Christ and find assurance by trusting in Him.

I drew the ‘Two Ways To Live’ gospel outline (check it out here: twowaystolive.com) and he found the visuals really helpful.

Please pray for Steve as he connects into church, that he will keep trusting Jesus and that God would give him strength to live for Jesus.

I’m praying for many more changed lives in churches this Christmas.

If you’re nearby, join us on December 20 at City on a Hill for our Christmas services.

// MANY ROOMS CHRISTMAS LUNCH

INSTAGRAM YO

Full house, great food, #Christmas choir, generators & portable air-con cranking…

Great work from Jim Davison, Judith Palleson and their team of volunteers in organising this lunch and an amazing ministry all year caring for Melbourne’s homeless and marginalised.

With the #MelbHeatWave it was looking like we might have to cancel, but great work from Jim in tracking down air-con for the day!
