Launching our Advent series, Trudi invites us into the practice—and the posture—of heaven-directed gratitude. In a season marked by frenzy, pressure, and the noise of consumption, she reminds us that thanksgiving is more than a wellbeing exercise; it is a spiritual discipline that recentres our hearts on the goodness of God. Looking at Jesus feeding the 5,000 and raising Lazarus, Trudi shows that Jesus gives thanks before the miracle—revealing gratitude as a pathway into abundance, partnership, and faith. True gratitude shifts us from scarcity to expectancy, from grumbling to trust, from self-sufficiency to dependence on the One who freely gives life without measure. As Advent begins, we’re invited to pause, lift our eyes to heaven, and give thanks—not only for what God has done, but for the abundance He is ready to pour out in us, through us, and beyond us in the year ahead.🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au

A Beautiful Life Pt.12: The House of Abundance — Mark Sayers
In this message, Mark explores the Church's calling to be a house of abundance—a community filled with resurrection life in a culture drifting into spiritual slumber. Reflecting on Acts 20 and the story of Eutychus nodding off as Paul preaches, Mark warns that the greatest threat to the Church in Australia isn’t persecution but comfort-born spiritual sleepiness. Yet Acts also shows us God’s intention for His people: an abundant devotion that overflows into transformed lives, shared community, sacrificial generosity, and Spirit-empowered mission. Like the early believers who met after long workdays to receive the Word, we’re invited to resist passivity and reawaken holy expectation. Mark urges us to dream again—believing Jesus is still the engine of abundance, moving in our city, drawing seekers, healing dry places, and calling us to step into the river of His life for the sake of our neighbourhoods and the future of our church.🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au

A Beautiful Life Pt.11: The Engine of Abundance — Mark Sayers
In this message, Mark continues our Beautiful Life series by exploring Jesus’ promise of abundant life from John 10:10. In a world shaped by scarcity—rising costs, shrinking security, and global anxiety—Mark reminds us that true abundance isn’t found in economic conditions, options, or self-sufficiency, but in the presence and power of Jesus Himself. Jesus is the engine of abundance—the One who brings healing, renewal, provision, creativity, and supernatural overflow into every season of our lives. As Mark traces how fear narrows our vision and how scarcity forms our mindset, he invites us to let Jesus expand our imagination, renew our hearts, and open our hands so His life can flow through us into our workplaces, relationships, and city.🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au

A Beautiful Life Pt.10: The Door to Abundance — Trudi Sayers
In this message, Trudi continues our Beautiful Life series by exploring abundance—not as something we create through self-sufficiency, but something we receive when we open the door to Jesus. Using the image from Revelation 3 of Christ knocking, she reminds us that lukewarm faith often comes from unknowingly shutting Jesus out of parts of our lives. True abundance flows only from the abundant Jesus—the One who brings freedom, light, perspective, and kingdom-riches wherever He is welcomed. Whether we feel stuck, stale, self-reliant, or in deep need, Jesus stands ready to enter, renew, and lead us into a spacious place. The invitation is simple: open the door, let Him in, and let His life reshape every part of ours.🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au

A Beautiful Life Pt.9: A life of Faith – Ryan Rowlette
In this message, Ryan builds on last week’s teaching that a beautiful life is a life of faith—one that’s both ridiculous and risky. But this week, he reminds us that faith must also become action. Drawing from Luke 5, where Jesus calls Peter from his boat, Ryan invites us to move from mere faithfulness to a faith that lives, saying small, daily yeses that open space for God to move. True discipleship, he says, means being open to Jesus, willing to be interrupted, quick to obey, and ready to follow—trusting that every “yes” to God can change not just our story, but the story of our community and city.🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au
