moment that Adam and Eve sinned but waited a couple of thousand years to send Abraham, then waited another 500 years to bring the law through Moses, then another 1,500 years till Jesus Christ finally came? Even with that, God allowed Jesus to grow through the normal progression of life from infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood to where, after thirty three years, He fulfilled his work of redemption for all mankind. While He is always at work throughout history and time, yet these acts of God’s grace seemed to be spaced out over extended periods. There are many possible explanations for this question of God’s time, none of which stand out to me as an absolutely definitive one since they all seem to point back to the same agonising truth that can sometimes engender more questions than answers. The agonising truth may be: that for reasons only God knows. Some may call this a ‘cop out’, a crux, or a default answer to anything
So trust in Him during periods of delay and make use of the time that God has given you right now, to know what He wants for you and expects of you. At Turning Point this year, don’t see this as just another date on the calendar but this could be God’s appointed time for your breakthrough, deliverance and transformation. It could be your family or friends’ time for salvation. Be ready, for now, it is high time. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:15-17
God bless you, !

Home Groups These groups meet during the week in homes all across Sydney’s many suburbs. Here is a list of the suburbs we are currently holding groups:
New Life Journey We invite you to join NLJ; a teaching program conducted on Sunday mornings following worship. These classes will cover questions you may have about doctrine, why we worship the way we do, what God really has in store for your life and how God’s love for you can conquer all. These classes are very beneficial to your Christian walk, so take your first steps with Jesus today!

Whether you're the big man at school or the quiet one in the back of the class you have a place at Rewired Youth. Come along to a dynamic service on Friday nights at 7:30pm - with skits, games and a message aimed right at you, we guarantee you'll have a great time. We would love to have you!
Pushpay Recently we introduced a new way to give using your credit card at the POS called Pushpay. This is an incredibly safe new system that allows you to give any time and anywhere using either the Pushpay App or our online Giving page. If you would like to give online today please scan the QR code and it will take you to a secure giving page.
If you would like to join the Home Group nearest you please see one of our friendly hosts and they will assist you.
Other Ministries: Sunday School Sunday school operates every Sunday morning following the worship service. We have classes that accommodate children from 4 to 12 years old. Classes are always fun and exciting so make sure your children are getting the most out of the their visit to the POS.
Life Studies Life Studies are an enjoyable, non-threatening way to learn more about the Bible. We can meet with you in your home, our home, or a coffee shop. The studies are less than an hour but have the power to change your life. Contact one of our hosts if you would like to start a Life Study.
