This Saturday we continue in Matthew 12, exploring the fantastic depth of Jesus’ life and ministry. This week: A man in need stands in the synagogue A question is raised that cannot be set aside The response reveals a growing opposition The passage also draws us to the Sabbath: Given for release Given for restoration and healing When what is good stands before us, the question reaches each of us. Join us for the Word, for worship, and for fellowship as we open the Scriptures

The Rest of the Cross | Matthew 11:28–30 - premiering Saturday April 18 “Come to Me… and I will give you rest.” We talk about rest—but rarely understand it. In this message, we trace the thread from Egypt’s slavery… to the wilderness… to the cross of Christ, and uncover a confronting truth: The heaviest burden is not work — it’s unbelief . And the only place real rest is found… is not in a system, but in a Person . This sermon explores: -Why Israel never truly entered rest -H

The Pharisees were strict. Careful. Religious. And yet… they were wrong. What does God actually desire? This Saturday at Living Waters Church of God 📖 Matthew 12:1–8 — Lord of the Sabbath Jesus exposes a kind of religion that looks right on the outside —but has lost the priorities of God. What does God actually desire? Does the Sabbath hold a place for Christians? How is the heart of God revealed through Jesus? Join us as we open the Scriptures and walk through this passage

This article examines Matthew 11:12—“the kingdom of heaven suffers violence”—and explains why it is often misunderstood. Jesus’ words reveal that God’s kingdom is not established through force but through righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

This article explores rising violence and rage culture around the world and explains why the kingdom of God is not built through anger or force. The real GAP in the human heart is Greed, Anger, and Pride.

Please join us 10 am, this Saturday 28 February as we teach from the Bible. Jesus asked in Matthew 11, "To What Shall I Compare This Generation?" His answer tells each and every one of us a story that gets to the heart of our belief, our motivations and our prejudices - and how they will affect how we receive Him. Truth from the Bible: Verse by Verse, precept by precept, so you can understand in-depth God's Word for life. 10 am Living Waters Church of God Ellenbrook Christian

This past week, we performed a big update to our sermon archive on the Living Waters Church of God website. All of our published sermon videos from our regular church services have now been added to our database. On the Sermons page, you'll find the latest set. Theoretically, over 118 sermons can be accessed through the site, but we are aware that the full list is a little inaccessible through the page. We will seek to improve that function that later in the year. You can al

Some passages of Scripture comfort immediately. Others confront. Matthew 11:12–15 is one of the more difficult sayings of Jesus: “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence…” What does Christ mean when He speaks this way? What does He mean about the Kingdom suffering violence and the violent seizing it? What is the relationship between John the Baptist’s ministry and the mission of Christ? Why does Jesus conclude with the searching word

We have services tomorrow, Saturday 14 Feb starting at 10 am at Ellenbrook Christian College, G Block. Refreshments afterwards. "What Did You Go Out To See?!" See you then!

Just a note that we have an additional service this week on Saturday, January 31, to end the month. The theme is Matthew 11:1-6 - "Scandalised by Christ". Even if you were the most spiritual person on earth, you might be confused and even offended by Christ. Why and how do we manage it? What can we learn from this passage about how John the Baptist himself was confused by Christ? Service commences 10 am Venue: Ellenbrook Christian College, G Block Northern carpark, corner Sa

This Saturday, we are premiering a video of a recent sermon titled "What Happens When We Die?" This sermon is a crucial extensive examination and analysis of Jesus' statements in Matthew 10:28 and supporting statements elsewhere throughout the Bible stating the nature of human mortality, immortality, eternal life, death, hell and the resurrection. This sermon used the following handout, which you can download here. We encourage you to read this handout alongside the sermon. A

Take Up Your Cross! 2026 will demand the most of those who wish to follow Christ. “Whoever does not take up their cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.” - Matthew 10:38 As we begin with our first church service for 2026, Jesus’ words confront us with a question few want to ask and fewer still want to answer honestly. In the first century, a cross was not a symbol of comfort or hope. It was an instrument of execution. When Jesus called people to take up a cross, He wa

Just a quick note that church services are on again, Saturday December 20. This week, we study the words of Christ in Matthew 10:34-47, that He "came not to bring peace, but a sword" that would divide families. It's not what we'd expect to hear, especially at this time of year. So what did He mean, why is it important, and how do we learn from what He said? This may be one of the most important messages you'll ever hear in your life. Don't miss it! Service starts 10 am, Ellen

It's a bit hard to believe, given the way some preachers and churches treat financing the Gospel and their ministries, but Jesus said to the disciples: "Freely you have received, freely give." Generosity was always to characterise the preaching of the Gospel - from both those who give and those who receive. And that's not just about money! Hear what Jesus really meant for His disciples, the church and the world. And pay attention to the warning regarding false and greedy teac

Our next church service is on Saturday December 13. Please note that there is NO service on November 29 or December 6. We meet weeks 2,3,4 every month. Occasionally, we meet on a 5th weekend of the month and, of course, we have special days spread throughout the year. In the meantime, if you have any questions, need for prayers or would like to meet to discuss God or other matters, please get in touch. Contact us here at www.livingwaterschurch.online/contact

We are proceeding through Matthew 10 during services at Living Waters Church of God at the moment. There are plenty of instructions from Jesus Christ that show us who are the true teachers of Christ and the Gospel. But as we were reviewing and uploading some previous sermons to the website sermon library, we thought this message relayed from Christ's Sermon on the Mount that warns about False Teachers is more and more relevant with each passing day. We hope you watch and bene

"You will be hated by all for my name's sake ... but he who endures to the end shall be saved." With these words, Christ continued to set the conditions under which His disciples would work - both those He called in the first century and those He has called throughout the age. If you have thought of becoming a disciple of Christ, these words are vital for you to hear! It's a life filled with blessing, a life spent following Jesus Christ, with love and joy and peace. But it's
