Red Church

Continuing our series A Sent People, Ryan opens up Acts 10 and 11, the moment Peter is jolted out of his comfort zone by a strange vision and an even stranger invitation to walk into a Gentile's home. Through Peter's story, Ryan unpacks five temptations that keep us from saying yes to God: not caring enough, feeling unequipped, fearing being the first one, losing sight of our purpose, and resisting change. Being sent, he reminds us, is never past tense — it's the ongoing posture of God's people. Whether God is stirring something new in you personally or in us as a community, the invitation is the same: Will we be courageous, pliable, and willing to pray, "send me, I'll go"?

In our series, A Sent People, Mark continues in the book of Acts to remind us that purpose alone isn't enough — vision animates us, but perseverance is what carries us. Facing corruption, persecution, and distraction, the early church kept moving, and God turned every obstacle into growth. Drawing from Acts 5 and 6, and sharing a deeply personal story from the early days of Red Church, Mark invites us into a different kind of time — one where suffering is redeemed, weakness becomes strength, and faithful, ordinary steps shape a future we can't yet see.

Being sent by God sounds exciting — until you realise you're sent with other people. And with a God who keeps combining the to-do lists. In this message from A Sent People, Ryan explores the tension between doing too much and doing too little, between protagonist and passenger, and what it actually looks like to partner with God when he invites you to feed 5,000 people with a packed lunch.

A message for our 10 am Nunawading service.
The disciples had every reason to walk away. But they didn't — they gathered, they prayed, and they waited. And 120 people changed the world. In this message from A Sent People, Daniel Murton explores what it means to move from the sidelines into the story God is writing — and why someone, somewhere, is waiting for you to show up.

After Easter, it's easy to lose momentum — but the story doesn't stop there. In this opening message of A Sent People, Mark Sayers unpacks the moment between Jesus' ascension and Pentecost, asking a confronting question: are you trying to make yourself the main character, or are you drifting along as a passive bystander? Drawing from Acts 1 and the prophetic vision of Daniel, Mark reframes what it means to live with purpose — not a journalled life-plan, but something far grander.
