Sunday 9AM and 5PM
We have heard Jesus say a lot of wonderful things. We have been challenged and inspired to live very differently. We've had great discussions in our small groups. Now its time for the challenge. What are we going to do? How are we going to respond? What are you going to live for? Jesus words are clear: simply hearing and considering is not worth that much. What matters is what you do. Read ahead, Matt 7:13-29

Do Justice...
Free event: Compassion Australia Advocacy evening: 26th March, 7pm
If you have been challenged by Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount, or inspired by the message of the Global Market Day last year, or captured by the heart of the work of the New Life orphanage in Burma, then this is an event for you...
You are being invited to do more for children... because you CAN.
Children are frequently the hardest hit by poverty and injustice and have the least resources or influence to change their circumstances. In 2010, Compassion Australia invites you to join us in becoming their voice.
The Compassion Advocacy Network (CAN) will provide you with ways to introduce justice into everyday actions- you can learn, speak up, take action, support, create, volunteer and pray... in thousands of different ways. Over the next two weeks, CAN will be holding a series of special evenings all over the nation to explore these different avenues.
Brisbane will be hosting the CAN on Friday 26th March at 7pm at Rochedale Baptist Church (199 Rochedale Rd, Rochedale)- and you are invited!
To RSVP, go to www.compassion.com.au/can or contact Melody Groenenboom at mgroenen@gmail.com for more information.

SUNDAY 9am and 5pm
Imagine if all the things that Jesus has spoken of in the Sermon on the Mount actually began to be realized in our lives, our small groups, and our church. Imagine the impact that would have. Imagine the levels of spiritual maturity we would attain. Imagine the spiritual force of giants we would be. Its exactly at this point in our dreaming that Jesus, as real as ever, steps in and puts a check to our dreams and ambitions. As God shapes us, and Jesus uses us, the overwhelming attitude of the kingdom inhabitant is to be humility. It affects everything, the way we relate to each other, the way we share the gospel, and the way we relate to God. Read ahead in Matthew 7:1-12
Burma Orphanage Update
This Sunday there will be an opportunity for you to find out the latest information as to what is happening with the 200 people involved with our orphanage in Burma (Myanmar). Eddie and Janette will give a short presentation on the orphanage, the problems they have faced, and their exciting rice paddy project which is the first step in the goal for them to become more self sufficient. Whilst there is much reason to give thanks to God, there are specific needs for prayer that will be mentioned. A couple of fund-raising ventures will be mentioned and one specific one which will also involve the children at Kids@Church. On April 23rd, a team of 10 people will be flying into Burma for a week to spend time with the 172 children, the leaders and the newly become hardworking rice farmers.
We are asking for your help in a couple of areas :-
1.Donations of clothes that can be brought in with the team : - particularly shorts. Girls sizes : 1 - 12 Boys: 1- 16 or Mens
2. Ongoing prayer for this "light" in the very dark world of Burma.
3. Your participation in the coming Fund-raising events
- Progressive Dinners 27th March or 10th April
4.Encouragement for your children to take a personal interest in their fund-raising project.(Details will be given in church)

Thanks so much for your support,
Janette

'Ask A Question' is up and running!
Hi church,
You can now start logging your questions about the current preaching series. All you have to do is click on the 'Ask a Question' link, and start typing. You can also access the 'Ask a Question' page from RCRC's home page (see the left hand menu bar).
After you have sent your question, it may not be visible right away, but it will be there for all to see eventually. All questions are checked before they are uploaded.
So if you have questions about a sermon, or you'd like something clarified, here's your big chance. Clinton and I are planning to answer some of your questions specifically in the services on April 18.
In addition to that, Clinton and I will endeavour to cover all the bases. You will receive a response in time.
Many thanks for taking the time to do this!

ALPHA Course - Starting in April 2010
This coming April we are planning to begin holding an Alpha course to introduce friends, family and anyone interested, to the claims of Jesus and how to respond to Him.

We are planning to hold the course in people's homes, with a host / coordinator, and a couple of helpers for each team.

Can you help setting up for Lord’s Supper?

SUNDAY 9am and 5pm
What does Jesus mean when he says 'store up treasures in heaven'? And how does seeking the kingdom first mean everything else will be added to us? Jesus is not content to be simply 'one among many' of the things that demand our attention. He claims your heart, your core, the very centrality of all you are and ever will be. Amazingly though, this is not a burden, it is our freedom. Read ahead at Matt 6:19-34
The big deal: What would it look like if we really allowed God to shift our desires to 'heaven on earth' types of things?

URGENT - GEMS LEADERS NEEDED
HELP!!!!
GEMS needs more leaders due to increase in numbers of girls and loss of leaders from last year. While it is great to see the girls from Ormiston State School coming more and more, we don't want to have to put a cap on it, but if we don't get a couple of leaders soon, we will have to. (Remember that these girls have not heard much of the gospel except from Religion at school so it is a big opportunity for us). The current leaders are stretched as we try to keep groups small for better discussions.
All you need is a love of working with young girls on a Friday fortnightly from 6.30 - 8.30pm.You must also have a current blue card. Younger girls from 15 up are also encouraged to become helpers to the leaders .
If you see this as a ministry you can get involved with, PLEASE call me on 32865272 and I will be happy to hear from you and fill you in more.

SUNDAY 9am and 5pm
Its one thing for Jesus to pick on adultery and murder and swearing. We expect him to say something about these things, and challenge us to live more fully in his ways in the world. But surely he can leave the good that we do alone, surely there is no need to go putting our giving, our prayers and our fasting under the microscope? But that is exactly what Jesus does in Matthew 6:1-18, because he knows the sorry state of our hearts and he knows we will look for an idol wherever we can find it, even if its in 'doing good.' And this week Jesus is going to expose our 'good deeds,' refine them, and refine us, as he goes about using us as salt and light in his world.
Matthew 6:1-18

Childsafe Training Morning
We are planning an RCRC Childsafe training morning commencing at 8am for Breakfast on Saturday 27th March. Anyone who volunteers in any area in our church where they are dealing with young people under 18 should do the training. You can do it online, but this will be a great way to get it "done and dusted" in a pleasant environment. We will have breakfast first, go through the training and then fill out the test papers together in a "no-stress" environment. Contact your Leader (Dana or Ettiene or Marg) if you want more information.
SUNDAY 9am and 5pm
This week: a young boy was killed by a schoolmate, terrorists were jailed in Sydney, a footballer is charged with rape, and it's been a month since the devastating earthquake in Haiti. We despair for our world, and we long for change. Are we kidding ourselves? Or can real change come to our world? God has a plan to bring change to the world, and he wants you in on his plan. Read ahead at Matt 5:17-48
