One In Christ Church

Every Christian is called to “Preach the Good News” of Jesus (See Jeremiah 1:5). Though sometimes, we find excuses instead of trusting God for our calling. But God is sovereign, no excuse will stop Him from accomplishing His divine purposes for life.

The living God that we know & serve is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. His very faithfulness “is” His very character; faithful and reliable. So, when it is God whom had spoken and made it clear, we must believe that all will come to pass.

Life happens on an everyday basis and it seems no two days are ever the same. It often runs in seasons of mountain highs and valley lows. But for every season, God remains the same & unchanged. He knows best and we live by faith that He’s in control.

When it comes to trusting God whom we cannot see, we must live out life exercising true faith in all He is and giving glory in all He has done. Ps Efren points out in Luke 18, it is our faith that moves the heart of God; to draw others closer to Him.

How’s your walk with the Lord? Romans 8 declares, those who operate in the flesh are not of God; for a person led by God is led and filled by His Spirit. The Spirit is in constant warfare with the flesh, but victory is claimed daily in Christ alone.

Last week we discovered the high calling of Fathers towards leading their households. But what happens when the whole house, grows weak & weary? God intended Life to make us not break us; it’s by faith He renews our strength in the midst of weakness.

As this first episode marks the start of our Strength series, we also celebrate the joy of Father’s Day! Tune in as Ps Efren guides us through the authority, identity & responsibilities given for every Father’s calling; to be the head of the family.

God’s mission is met with opposition at every opportunity the enemy gets. But as we close out this month’s series, Ps Efren encourages us to rise up & overcome by faith, for our service stems from the love for the King; for His Kingdom and His glory.

The invitation to follow Jesus is not for the faint-hearted. It’s a rollercoaster journey through life that calls you to hold on by faith at every turn. To truly follow Him will cost everything but will make you fit for service in the kingdom of God.

It is innate to become great in all that life has to offer; it’s part of being human. We naturally draw towards the callings of life that promise ‘greatness’. But life’s greatest calling is in The Great Commission, which Jesus calls us into by faith.

Love is the gold standard when it comes to serving the Lord; without love, what fruit can come from our service? Whether you’re serving at the local church, at work or even at home, our service is best given when it is given with our whole heart.

You can live life or you can LIVE LIFE according to God's design. The enemy's fear tactics will try to fool you into thinking that there's nothing more to this life. But God offers this: a life eternally purposed; fuelled by power of the Holy Spirit.

Last week we defined the spirit of unity as a blessing from God. It bands together many members or parts to form one body. As the body of Christ, our attitudes must reflect His own, to rebuke the enemy’s schemes to divide & conquer what God purposed.

Unity is a God-given gift that allows every believer to move and act in a way that brings glory to God. As Ps Efren explains, a united church is one that overflows in what is good & pleasant; not necessarily in uniformity but in spite of diversity.

When sailing through the grand ocean of life, who steers & captains your ship? Ps Bobet reminds us that no one is exempt from the storms of life, not even Christians. But God is merciful: He calls & equips those willing to lead a God-given assignment

Safety and security in this life seems impossible to attain in the world we live in today. But did you know God has a secret place for these? It’s exclusive, but as we look into Psalm 91 we reveal the promises God has for those who dwell in Him.

God’s desire for your life is purposed for eternity, not just the temporary. But often times we get so busy planning out our lives or dwell in our past, we stop living in the present. With God you are not alone, learn to walk step by step in faith.

As we kick off the month of June celebrating 18 years of God’s faithfulness at OIC Sydney, Ps Jess sets forth a challenge: to seek God’s promises with complete surrender - choosing to be under His Wings, where the fullness of joy and protection is.

Endurance. A word often associated with sports and physical activity. But can the same ability to endure be applied in the Spiritual? Closing in on the end of our Steadfast series, Ps Ef marks out what it takes to be a good solider within God’s army.
