A gospel centred church

Do you have a favourite bible passage?
My favourite is Romans Chapter 8. This powerful passage talks about our life in the Spirit, the new freedom we’ve received, and the transforming power of Jesus in our lives. It reminds us that we are no longer bound by condemnation or the law of sin and death. Rather, we are set free to walk in the Spirit and embrace the full life God has for us. This is God's plan for each one of us no matter what we have done or do. Christ died to free us from the guilt and shame that once held us captive.
The law, which highlighted our shortcomings and inability to live perfectly, revealed our need for Jesus. He came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it because we could never live up to its righteous requirements on our own. Jesus did what we could not; He lived the perfect life, and through His sacrifice, He bore our sins and set us free.
This is the good news of the Gospel which we, as a church, hold to. We believe in the power of Jesus to set us free from all our sins so we can receive the forgiveness and freedom to live the abundant life in peace, in step with the Spirit of God.
Here at Mount Eliza Anglican Church, we claim to be Gospel - Centred and we seek to follow the Spirit's leading to accomplish God's will and purposes in and through this place. To live this out, we all (the church) need to set our minds on things of the Spirit; on heavenly things, on Christ and His truth, to experience peace and a deeper connection with God every day. This daily decision to focus on God’s truth transforms the way we live and helps us to walk in the victory He has won for us.
This Sunday, John Shanasy will unpack more of this for us. So, come along with open and expectant hearts to hear what God wants to say to our Church through John's reflections on Romans 8.
In the lead up to Sunday, I encourage you to read this passage for yourself and allow its powerful truths to transform your life, setting you free from all that holds you back from living in the freedom Christ has already won for you. 
If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed. You may like to listen to a great song to remind you of this by clicking HERE. (Hillsong - Who you say I am)
