Calvary Chapel Sydney is a church located in Castle Hill, Sydney Australia. We are committed to loving and accepting all people. We are a Christian church and we enjoy a casual, family atmosphere.

Jesus says in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” This rest Jesus promises is what we offer to all through the Gospel. Our purpose is to love God, love people, a ...

Paul shows how the Gospel and Jesus Christ are to guide and inspire us to live to please others rather than ourselves. Through the patience and comfort of the scriptures we have hope, and this unites Christians to glorify God with one mouth and one mind as Christ's body, the church.

Synopsis: Every Christian has faith and knowledge, and we need guidance from God in our relationships with fellow Christians.

Jesus was crucified with robbers that seemed beyond saving, but Jesus is a Saviour and KING who lay down His life as a sacrifice for lost sinners in fulfillment of God's promises in Scripture. On Good Friday Jesus died and was buried in a tomb, and thus set the stage to confirm beyond doubt His miraculous resurrection days later.Verses in order of …

Having established God's mercy and grace extended to all through the Gospel, Paul implores believers to present themselves as living sacrifices to God, being transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Synopsis: In this chapter, Paul explains God's redemptive purpose in Israel's rejection of Jesus the Messiah, and how by grafting the Gentiles into God's people by the Gospel would draw Israel to Himself for salvation.

After Paul established God's sovereignty and choice to offer salvation freely by grace, in this chapter Paul focuses on man's responsibility to respond to the Gospel by faith in Jesus to receive salvation.

Paul wrote to believers to show how an identity as God's people impacts our view of ourselves and others, and just because we claim to be Christians does not mean we are living like Christ. Our lives provide evidence whether we love the praise of God or prefer the praise of men. God reasonable requests is to give Him all we willingly give to others…

Paul explained how everyone is without excuse before God whether He judges us by the Law of Moses or by our conscience since the most moral among men are still sinners.

Ecclesiastes is a book of the Bible that powerfully contradicts the idea we can earn, acquire or experience anything under the sun that can provide lasting satisfaction and rest.

Solomon observed the vanity of life under the sun and considered how to best benefit in the "here and now" in the fear of God. He emphasised our need to listen to God, value His word, and rejoice in God, our portion Who falls to us now and satisfies us completely.Ecclesiastes 5:1-3Matthew 6:5-8Ecclesiastes 5:4-7Numbers 30:2Jeremiah 23:25-28Ecclesia…

Synopsis: This chapter outlines Solomon's effort to determine by experience the best way a person could live to discover meaning and purpose.

Synopsis: In the first chapter of Ecclesiastes, Solomon asserts his conclusion after observing everything under the sun: all is vanity, meaningless and futile.

God reveals Himself in the Bible as the God who heals His people, and we can rest assured knowing it is God's will to heal.
