Bible Group
Mondays 6.30-7.30pm in the hall. We are spending November and December on what it looks like to follow Jesus.
Jesus lived with the awareness that God is doing something, right here, right now, and anybody can be a part of it. He encouraged his listeners to search, to question, to wrestle with the implications of what he was saying and doing. Wherever he went, Jesus started discussions about what matters most, because for Jesus, God is always inviting us to open our eyes and join in. Nooma is a series of short films that explore our world from a perspective of Jesus. Nooma is an invitation to search, question, and join the discussion. Find more Nooma short films on YouTube.
Welcome to Alpine Uniting Church!
We are a community of faith in the Snowy Mountains, seeking to live out the amazing message of Jesus.
We acknowledge the Ngarigo people who first cared for this land. We share this land, buildings and resources believing we are here to be:
-
a welcoming place of hospitality
-
a place where people can connect with each other.
-
a people caring for others in the name of Jesus Christ.
When asked how a person should live, Jesus answered:
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart. Love him with
all your soul, and love him with all your mind. This is the first
and great commandment. And there is a second like it: 'You shall love your neighbour as yourself'.
None of us have done this. We have turned our back on God and on our neighbour.
We believe that Jesus came from God, fully human and fully God, to pay the price of our disobedience...of our turning our back on God.
We believe Jesus offered a perfect sacrifice in our place by his life, death and resurrection.
When we acknowledge our disobedience (sin); turn from it (repent); believing in Jesus and that he paid the price, God forgives us. We are made new and God's Holy Spirit comes to live in us, helping us to live loving God and loving our neighbour.
We believe God's Holy Spirit claims us as eternal citizens of God's kingdom. This is eternal life.
We believe this is what it means to be a Christian...secure in God's love and acceptance.
We meet on Sundays at 9.30am. Please feel comfortable to join us.
