Welcome to Southern Cross Church
I love the church … God’s people gathered around His Word in corporate worship. That’s something you’d expect me to say – I’m the pastor! But, frankly, it’s easy for me to say because it’s true – I do love the church … probably why I am a pastor! So it saddens me that in our relative, subjective and individualistic world, the church seems to have been side-lined … no longer the centre of life, of community, or of society … even though God says it’s at the centre of the cosmos. Through the church, God reveals His wisdom. That is, the multi-faceted splendour of His wisdom, God’s intent is that the wonder of His wisdom will be made known through the church!. Because, through the church, God reveals His gospel. Through us, the heavens see what God achieved in Jesus … which, of course, puts Jesus and the cross at the centre of the church. Jesus takes broken, fallen sinners, separated from God and makes them whole, forgiven and reconciled. He takes people who were once excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world and makes them heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ. He takes people who are diverse and different but unites them into the one, beautiful people of God! And we see all this through the church. Surely, we must reflect the unity of God’s people, being a place where everyone is welcome and included regardless of ethnicity, education or economics. And, surely, we must be servants of gospel proclamation proclaiming both God’s manifold wisdom and the glorious mystery of the gospel to a world in desperate need of both!
