NEW TO CHURCH?
We here at Beaconsfield Baptist are
a group of ordinary people.
We come from all sorts of different
backgrounds. But what we have in
common is a love of Jesus.
Week by week we meet to enjoy
worship together and to be part of a
church family that is warm, caring
and accepting. We would love to
have you join us.
Email the office at
info@beaconsfieldbaptist.com.au
to get connected!
MAKE BEACY HOME
We run a number of ministries
designed to help people from all
walks of life grow in faith and
connect with one another.
If you’re interested in making Beacy
your home, and serving in the life of
our church, there are a number of
ways in which to do so.
Please get in touch with a
member of our Leadership Team to
discuss opportunities to serve and
get more involved.
Rod Thearle
Pastor
Where are you looking?
With the world in upheaval, with
plans wiped out and with our
hearts confused.
Where are you looking?
It’s easy to catch yourself looking
inwards, focused on ourselves;
dwelling in our own thoughts and
fears.
It’s easy to catch yourself looking
around to others for support or to
compare.
In those moments we need to stop
and look deeper. Beyond our
circumstance there is something
bigger, grander, greater going on.
This is one of those moments to lift
our gaze from our immediate
surroundings and focus on the
throne room of God.
Worship is for every season,
especially ones such as these.
Over the course of October, I pray
that we look a little deeper and see
the King on his throne; see the one
who gave his life for us and learn
to live again.
Come and worship; breathe in his
blessing and breathe out his
praise.

MISSIONARY
COMMITTEE
REPORT
THE LION
AND THE LAMB:
SERMON SERIES
We’d like to share with you
some of the new initiatives
which were implemented
following the recent on-line
meeting of the Missionary
Committee. More information
will be provided as we go
along but we have added two
groups to our regular giving
beneficiaries and one special
donation.
• Christians Helping In Primary
Schools (CHIPS) @ $400.00
per month.
• ELEVEN88 Dance Ministries
@ $200.00 per month.
How does a heavenly throne
change our earthly lives?
The book of Revelation takes
us into the throne room of
Heaven and we see Jesus
revealed as the Lion and the
Lamb. He is the king and the
saviour; the conqueror and
the sacrifice. We find our
purpose, we understand our
suffering and we live this life
because of him.

care on Him for He cares for
you."
"If you look at the world you'll
be distressed. If you look
within, you'll be depressed.
But if you look at CHRIST,
you'll be at rest." (Corrie Ten
Boom)
"So I (Jesus) say to you: Ask
and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find; knock
and the door will be opened
to you. For everyone who asks
receives; he who seeks finds;
and to him who knocks, the
door will be opened." Luke
