TRIBES Church

Send us a textJoin Ps Cody Byrne as he explores the profound difference between temporary happiness and the eternal joy that comes from truly knowing Jesus Christ. Drawing from Isaiah 9:2-3, we examined how joy is not dependent on our circumstances, but flows from a settled confidence in our salvation and the finished work of the cross. In a time when our nation—and our individual lives—face darkness, uncertainty, and challenges, we were reminded that true joy comes not from what we manufacture, but from what we receive when God reveals His Son. This joy is theological, not merely psychological; it's the fruit of reconciliation with God through Christ's atoning sacrifice.

Send us a textJoin Ps Cody as we dive deep into Isaiah 9:6-7, exploring how Jesus is not just a preacher of peace, but IS our peace. We examined the Hebrew concept of "shalom"—meaning nothing missing, nothing broken—and discovered three dimensions of peace available to every believer: peace WITH God (justification), peace IN God (internal wholeness), and peace FROM God (shalom breaking into our circumstances). We also looked at the remarkable historical validity of Scripture, confirming that our faith rests on the most well-documented ancient text in existence. The message challenged us to "let it settle"—to allow God's peace to guard our hearts and minds even in the midst of life's storms.

Send us a textJoin Ps Cody Byrne as he explores Isaiah 9's prophetic declaration of the coming Messiah, spoken 700 years before Jesus arrived. God deliberately steps into our darkest places - our personal "Galilees" - not with judgment, but with supernatural light and restoration. The message challenges us to understand that hope isn't wishful thinking or positive vibes, but the certainty of God's promises fulfilled in Christ. We're reminded that we're in our own season of Advent, waiting for Christ's return, and that the same God who kept His promises then continues to restore, revive, and reverse what darkness has stolen from our lives today.

Send us a textJoin Ps Kerry Pearce from Compassion Australia as he shares about Compassion. Compassion is not just feeling sorry for people, but taking action to help them. The Greek word "splachnizomai," which literally means to be moved in your guts or bowels, describing that deep internal conviction to help others. Through examples from Jesus' ministry - feeding the 5,000, healing the leper, and raising the widow's son - we saw how true compassion combines both heart and hands. The message challenged us to examine what blocks our compassion (busyness, judgment, and fear) and called us to start small by serving our neighbors. We were also introduced to the incredible work of Compassion Australia, which partners with local churches to release children and families from extreme poverty through sponsorship.

Send us a textJoin Ps Cody Byrne as he explains how we are people who host the presence of God—not just visitors who show up occasionally, but dwellers who abide in His presence. Drawing from Psalm 24, we examined the biblical framework for welcoming God into our lives, both individually and corporately. As we stand on the threshold of a new season as a church, we're being called to become a "presence people"—those who create an atmosphere where God is welcomed, honored, and manifest. This isn't just about Sunday gatherings; it's about cultivating a lifestyle where we continually sit at the table God has prepared for us, refusing to get distracted and leave His presence.
