New Sermon Series: Romans 12 image

Starting the 17th October 2021, Salt Church will be focusing on Romans 12: Living In View of God’s Mercy! How should we live in response to God’s enormous mercy to us in Jesus? To be a disciple of Jesus is to live a radically different life in response to God’s extraordinary kindness to us. But what does that life look like? How should I live to please God more with my life? How should we live as disciples at Salt Church? Romans 12 is packed with how to live in response to the gospel. It begins with ‘In view of God’s mercy… do this .. (verse 1). In this chapter there’s hardly a part of life God doesn’t address for us ...

Pathway back to physical gatherings image

Stay tuned and pray for Salt Church leadership as we make some important decisions to return back to physical gatherings over the next few weeks. The government has already outlined what will be possible for our community when 70% of NSW is double vaccinated. This is expected by early to mid October (click here for details and predicted timelines here). Churches will be included in the same category as restaurants, cafes and theatres etc. i.e a max of 1 person per 4m2 indoors, vaccinated only, masks and no singing. The NSW government has yet to specify what will be possible when 80% of NSW is vaccinated. The hope and prayer (and keen lobbying of key religious community leaders) is that ...

How Christians make complex decisions – Online Event image

We’re running a night to help you think about whether to be vaccinated, because it’s a decision we all have to make or have already made. But we’re doing something bigger than that too. With every decision we make we want to make a good choice. But we often need to make decisions where it’s complicated, there’s a lot of factors to weigh up, and it’s not clear what the “good choice” is. When: This event will be online and interactive! Tune in via our YouTube Live-stream on Friday 10th September at 7.30 pm What to expect: How do you make those kinds of complex decisions? That’s what we’re going to explore, with the vaccine as a case study. The ...

A night of finding out what Christians believe and why Why I Believe will be held via our Salt Church Livestream from 7.30 pm on Friday September 3rd.

Whether you’re totally new to Christianity, know a bit about it or have been in church for years, this night will be helpful to explore more of what Christians believe and why they believe it. We’d ...

We’re church planting in the North! image

Our prayer is to see a flood of lifelong disciples across the Illawarra so we’ve been planning to plant a new church in the northern suburbs of the Illawarra! There are thousands who don’t know Jesus and we want to be part of reaching them. In August, we’re excited to launch Village Church as an independent evangelical church with FIEC (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical) in Bulli under the leadership of one of our pastors, Tim Canosa. Join our livestream on Sundays to hear more and give thanks for this new church, pray as they kick off online and get in touch if you know someone who should be part of it!

New Sermon Series: Acts image

Starting the 18th July 2021, Salt Church will be focusing on Acts 1-8! The history recorded by Luke shows again and again the intense opposition and persecution God’s people face, yet how the message they preach continues to go out and cannot be stopped. They carry the news: ‘God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah’, and ‘Salvation is found in no-one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved’ (2:36, 4:12). That news rings out to the ends of the earth, and it is unstoppable. The big message of Acts is the gospel is unstoppable. God will save through the message of Jesus, the Church ...

A big welcome to the newest crew at Salt!

Sermon Series: Hosea image

Starting the 2nd May 2021, Salt Church will be looking into the Old Testament book of Hosea! The book of Hosea shows us that Ancient Israel is smothered in their sin and is guilty of the ugliest spiritual adultery towards God. They’ll face judgement – inevitably Assyria is coming. But God’s relentless love for His wayward bride will pursue and renew them. God loves His people, the bible tells us so. The book of Hosea will show us just how ugly and loveless we really are, and just how relentless and boundless the love of God is. Every week at Salt Church we open the bible to hear God reveal reality to us. We need to see the shape of ...
