“What makes life worth while is having a big enough objective, something which catches our imagination and lays hold of our allegiance; and this the Christian has, in a way that no other person has. For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?”

“And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” – John 17:3 (#ESV)

// PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD

#KnowingGod #JIPacker #Chapter2…

“One can know a great deal about God without much knowledge of him… One can know a great deal about godliness without much knowledge of God.” “Do we desire such knowledge of God? […] First, we must recognise how much we lack knowledge of God. We must learn to measure ourselves, not by our knowledge about God, not by our gifts and responsibilities in the church, but by how we pray and what goes on in our hearts. […] Second, we must seek the Saviour. When he was on earth, he invited men to company with him; thus they came to know him, and in knowing him to know his Father.”

For the last 145 years this building – Melbourne Town Hall – has hosted multitudes of people for countless significant events.

Is there any more significant event than when the good news of Jesus is declared within its walls?

This Sunday City on a Hill will celebrate its 8th birthday at Town Hall… It’s going to be massive! But it’s not just for church members, all are invited to celebrate with us.

October 25 from 10am.

“Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfold, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you. This way you can waste your life and lose your soul.”

// THE INVITATION

INSTAGRAM YO

Dear Friend,

You’re invited to one of the biggest events of the year!

Hosted by City on a Hill at 10am on October 25 at Melbourne Town Hall, ‘The Invitation’ will give you an opportunity to encounter the truth, beauty and relevance of Jesus, as God extends His invitation to life with Him.

At this special event you’ll meet people who have accepted His invitation, and see how Jesus has changed their lives. You’ll hear their stories, witness their baptisms, and join in celebration as we sing. You’ll also hear a message from the Bible, as Lead Pastor of City on a Hill Guy Mason, takes us through one of Jesus’ most beautiful parables, the Parable of the Banquet. There’s also a fantastic kids program planned, and community lunches after the event.

So, whether you’ve grown up going to church or you’re someone who’s just curious in finding out more, say yes, and come to The Invitation!

// THAT GREAT CITY

So good having our friend @MattSparks preaching at #CityonaHillMELB this weekend. A solid and timely word to have God’s heart for this city and this world.

“…I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” (Jonah 4:2 #ESV)

// HAPPY (NO) BIRTHDAY!

INSTAGRAM YO

Just about to take off for final leg home to Australia. Have had an excellent time in USA… Learnt so much from @villagechurchtx and @spanishriverchurch! Full head, full heart… And full belly :)

Because I’m flying back over the international date line, I’m going to miss my birthday! I tried to convince @qantas to give me a complimentary upgrade. But failed.

Now I’m sitting next to some guy on his first international flight. He’s freaking out. I’m probably going to have to hold his hand.
