Trinity Mount Barker

On August 8th 2005 The Jesus, All About Life marketing campaign was launched in Adelaide. The message that Jesus really is “all about life” was splashed across roadside billboards, and beamed into homes on TV and radio.  It was described as the largest promotional campaign ever undertaken by Christians in Australia and has since been repeated in many Australian cities.  The theme of the campaign was based on Jesus’ words in the second half of John 10:10 I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

The campaign was considered a great success.  People from all walks of life across our city were engaging in conversations about Jesus and Christians were encouraged to share the hope that they have in Christ. It was great to be able to publicly identify with the ads and with the picture of Jesus that was being presented to Adelaide.  It was a privilege to stand with Christians from churches all across the city and say, “Yes, I believe that Jesus is all about life.”

I wonder though, if our lives agree?
Does the way we live suggest we really do believe that Jesus is all about life?

This week I spent some time in Melbourne taking part in a church planting conference.  The Geneva Push is an Australia-wide network seeking to see, under God, hundreds of churches evangelised into existence across the country and the National In The Chute conference brings together church leaders and members from all different parts of the country to hear the Bible taught and to learn from each others’ ideas and experiences.

My role in the conference was to speak about our experiences in church planting, what we’ve learned and what we’ve seen God do amongst us in the 21 months since Trinity Mount Barker began.  I got to answer lots of great questions about our church and explain the ways we do different things.  It was great to see so many churches and Christian people trying to work out how to take the gospel of Jesus forward in their regions.
