Pastor’s Desk

Welcome to a great church – Melbourne West Church. I can say that because I know that we serve a GREAT God.

Job 36:26 (TLB) “God is so great that we cannot begin to know him”

A children’s song says ‘My God is so big, so strong and so mighty, there’s nothing that my God cannot do’

If our kids REALLY believed that, they’d be world beaters – no suicide, no rebellion etc. Why don’t our kids believe that? Because mostly we don’t. If we did, we’d see a lot more than we already see.

Our minds have been closed off to the enormity of the God. I know this because I see Christians living lives that say “I don’t believe God is big enough to look after me if I do what He says, therefore I’ll do it my way”.

Our actions display our faith in the greatness of God.

Mat 7:21 (TLB) “Not all who sound religious are really godly people. They may refer to me as ‘Lord,’ but still won’t get to heaven. For the decisive question is whether they obey my Father in heaven.

If you REALLY believe God is great you’ll do what He says.

If you believe God is Great, you can also believe that His church is great – that’s why I believe this is a great church, not because of what I see, but because of what I can’t see but can perceive: the GREATNESS of God.

That’s why we have the standards/values that we have, because God is great and therefore we should do it His way.

I encourage you to lift your faith level in your believing of God’s greatness, your reward will be exceedingly great – there’s nothing my God cannot do!!

Welcome to a great church, Melbourne West Church. Its a privilege to partner you on your journey of Christian purpose and service
