St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast

The book of Genesis tells us that humanity was created in the image of God. We still bear his image today and in God’s story we are living out the Imago Dei by being part of his Missio Dei (God’s mission plan) as both individuals and as the church. We must consider how we can be like Jesus as well as recognise how the Church as a collective group of Christians can present what it means to be created in the image of God to our communities. We call that collective Imago Dei, the ‘Body of Christ’.Philippians 2:1-11

Why is there death and suffering in the world?
Many reject God on the basis that he must be a cruel god to allow the terrible events and suffering that we see in the world today. Could you answer this? Find out how you can use this question, and more, as a powerful tool to reach others for Christ.

Too often we minimise the term Imago Dei (created in God's image) as a figurative expression, allowing incomplete human logic and explanation to override what God says about His creation.  In part 1 of this mini-series, reflecting on how we are to live as the Imago Dei, we ponder on how God created us for relationships; stewardship over His creation; created to tell God's Story; and then to consider our responsibility of demonstrating this in our daily lives.

Romans (Part 84)The Sabbath: Principle, Not CommandSabbath Principles Romans 14:5-9 Paul reminds the church in Rome that while some keep the Sabbath and others treat every day as holy, both can honor the Lord, because what matters is living and resting in Christ, not rigid rule-keeping. For Christians today, the Sabbath is not a binding law but a life-giving principle — a gift of rest, worship, identity, and witness that helps us trust God’s grace, find renewal, and live counterculturally in a world of constant work.Romans 14:5-9

In a diverse church family, differences in personal convictions can easily cause tension. Paul reminds us to practice Discerning in Love—knowing the difference between essential gospel truths, which we must never change, and secondary issues, where we should accept one another in grace. We are Accepted in Grace through Christ alone, Accountable to God as our only Master, and Assured by Christ who helps His people stand. Whether weak or strong in faith, God sustains us, and “with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive His approval” (Romans 14:4b).
Romans 14:1-4

Romans (Part 82)Wake Up! Suit Up! Step Up!Romans 13:11-14

The phrase 'God is Love' is much more than a nice saying or simple figurative language - it is a distinguishing factor of our Triune God.  To imitate His love and to make Him known to others is our office as Christians and as His Church.  The outcome of following His commandment to love our neighbour is that we become evidence of life, faith, the reality of God and of the gospel message, Jesus Christ His Son.
