Hello and welcome to The Pentecostals of Sydney where you can experience new life in Christ!
As we read through the Bible with the BREAD program, there is recurring pattern that emerges. One of humanity’s downfall because of our desire to be our own gods, then comes depravity and despair and finally a God of grace who redeems the lost. I think this theme is recurrent because as humans we have a tendency to resort to our strength, knowledge, prowess, talent and resources to live our lives. It often seems easier to do things for ourselves and live by our own merits but this system is flawed and destined to fail.
Not only that, but the very heart and essence of sin is sourced from this disposition of living life for self and by self, which only leads to a foregone conclusion. Yet in the scriptures, even God’s own people never learn. I’m afraid to say we are no different.
That is the reason for the incarnation of Christ. God knew that man could never redeem himself so He himself was made flesh and dwelt among us and did what no one else could, appease God’s wrath. We are desperately hopeless and helpless to obtain eternal life but God’s love brought our deliverance and our salvation through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Yet even as Christians, we live our lives almost completely independent of Him. Void of His presence and without His power. We cannot make it. But if we walk in the Spirit and live in communion with God, the fruit of love, peace and joy becomes an outflow and consequence in our lives. Don’t fall into the trap, living your own way which leads to despair but walk with Christ and find abundant life.
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5 (KJV)

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!
Fijian MinistryWe are blessed at the POS to have a large population of Fijians attend our assembly. In order to reach out to the Fijian community we have a Fijian Ministry. Once a month there is a Fijian Speaking Service at 3pm on a Sunday. This service includes preaching, worship and fellowship following. They also gather monthly for prayer and evangelism. If you would like to join please speak to one of our hostesses at the Welcome Desk.
ReWired YouthWe understand that High School, Uni and Tafe are times of much change- Physical, Mental and even Spiritual. 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!
