Opawa Baptist Church

Listen to Rod as he explains how we have received a spirit empowered gospel that needs both proclaiming in words and living out in action to enable the spirit to work in people’s lives to bring them to faith.

From 1 Thessalonians, see how Paul encourages the newly found church into love & action for each other.

Listen to the final of the Being Baptist series from Rod as he describes us as Bubble up Baptists in community today.

Listen as Karen Wilson explores how God redeems us when we stray and how we can recommit and stay true to Him.

Rod Robson is joined by Parklands Baptist Colin Wood and Oxford Tce. Baptist Chris Chamberlin as they take on the characters of the Prodigal Son. The naive younger son, the bitter older brother and the radical loving father. What can they teach us? What does it say about the world we live in today?

 Listen to our guest speaker Karl Udy explain evangelism and how it can be and is part of our everyday life. What is it that we can do or already do to share the “good news” and love of God with others?

Who are our priests? Could you be a priest to others? Rod says that "we have been made and gifted by God" to minister to one another but there are threats to the “priesthood of all belivers”. What does this mean for you?

"God loves a cheerful giver" (2Cor 9:7). What does this mean for us today. How should we give? How much should we give? Why should we or do we give? Listen as Rod talks about money and giving and what it might mean for us today.

What is happening for Opawa Baptist today? Is shame the new guilt where people are more worried about acceptance or rejection rather than right or wrong? How do we live as Christians in a society where tolerance rules supreme. What does this mean for Our Church? Listen to Rods Sermon to go deeper.
