We live in a day with so much uncertainty and change. There are growing global tensions, unimaginable cultural confusion, and living in such a dark and fallen world can lead to discouragement and despair. Taken together, it seems we are living in a perfect storm where we have many questions about ourselves and about God.
Dr. James Dolezal will take us through the Book of Job, where this servant of God was similarly challenged and had questions much like us today. Over three sessions, Dr. Doelzal will remind us that God graciously reveals Himself to those who seek Him. We will consider God's existence and attributes as revealed in the midst of the storm.
Dr. James Dolezal is Professor of theology in the School of Divinity at Cairn University in Langhorne, PA, and has been a visiting professor at IRBS since the spring of 2019. He is a graduate of The Master’s College, (BA, MA), The Master’s Seminary (MDiv), and Westminster Theological Seminary (ThM, PhD).
Prior to undertaking PhD studies at Westminster Seminary, he pastored in Lethbridge, Alberta. He is the author of God without Parts: Divine Simplicity and the Metaphysics of God’s Absoluteness (Pickwick, 2011), All That Is in God: Evangelical Theology and the Challenge of Classical Christian Theism (Reformation Heritage, 2017).

Claudine trusts in Jesus’ forgiveness purchased for her at the cross, and so it’s our joy to baptise her.
Join us on Sunday 17th September as we sing, pray, listen to God’s word, and then encourage Claudine as she takes this step.

Join us to hear Dr. Conrad Mbewe as he preaches over 3 sessions on the theme: The Power of the Gospel.
With borders open and international travel resuming, we are thankful for the opportunity to finally host Dr. Conrad Mbewe at Stanmore Baptist Church to speak on the theme of The Power of the Gospel.
As a seasoned pastor with 35 years ministry experience, Dr. Mbewe is familiar with the opposition, disappointments and challenges God's people face as they sojourn through this life. In such seasons, where are we to turn for encouragement, direction, strength and hope?
Dr. Mbewe Conrad will remind us to consider again the gracious, sovereign and powerful work of God, in redeeming rebellious sinners and reconciling a people to Himself. This foundational truth will encourage us in our worship, equip us for service and assist us to live for God's glory and our neighbour's good.

“How deserted lies the city, once so full of people … bitterly she weeps at night”.
In 2021, we began a new series in the Old Testament, starting with the enchanting story of Ruth and Naomi. In 2022, we move to the often forgotten book of “Lamentations”.
Written as 5 “laments” in raw, heart-wrenching poetry, we walk the streets of war-torn Jerusalem after the Exile. A deeply reflective book, it enables a deep understanding of ourselves, God and the future.
Join us on Saturday 18 June 2022 at Gosford Presbyterian Church to hear God’s Word to us in the book of Lamentations. Come join us for a wonderful day together being encouraged and challenged by the Word of God.
This is also an opportunity to recharge away from daily life, catch up with friends (or make new ones!), and enjoy lunch together.
Adults tickets are $25 each, and teens can attend for only $7! Reserve your seat today.

We’re sorry that we won't be able to meet in person for our annual live streaming of the EQUIP women’s conference this year. But we are excited the EQUIP team are bringing us the same great Bible teaching re-imagined for this peculiar season.
Instead of a one day conference, they have prepared two shorter EQUIP at Home episodes. Perfect for watching at home on your own or with a small group.
There’s no better time than now to be thinking about Eternity. And it’s no surprise that the answers start with one man and one event - Jesus and his resurrection. See you on June 20 and 27.
Each episode will premiere at 10am and be followed by a LIVE Q&A with that episode’s speakers.
EPISODE 1: Saturday June 20, 10am – 12 noon
Is the resurrection true? - Alli Muscat | Does the resurrection matter? - Tash Leong
EPISODE 2: Saturday June 27, 10am – 12 noon
Our resurrection body - Lesley Ramsay | Our resurrection work - Di Warren
We know life is constantly changing at the moment, so don’t worry if you miss the premieres - your ticket will allow you to watch both episodes on-demand until July 27. You can even re-watch them!
We’re also aware that in addition to the virus, many people are facing unemployment or a reduced income. Whilst we can’t make registration free, we don’t want anyone to miss out because of the price. So, we’re asking you to pay $15 per person (which includes both episodes), whether you watch alone or with a small group. This will help us cover some of the production costs.
Your ticket will also give you access to resources designed to help you keep thinking about Eternity, whether that’s on your own or with your friends. There’s also going to be something very special for our teens!
Carols begin at 5.30pm with a free BBQ to follow.
All welcome!
Grab a chair, rug, something yum for lunch (we recommend Monti’s fish and chips) and meet us between the Sailing Club and Lions Park for a church family picnic!
Sue is a recently retired clinical psychologist. She has spent the past 10 years working with cancer patients and their families at Gosford hospital’s Cancer Centre. She has always thought of herself as a planner but doesn’t have a plan for the rest of her life! She is confident that, with the help of a husband, three sons, two daughters-in-law and four grand-children, something will come up!
Sue is also confident that God is in control and will guide her steps. She knows that three decades’ worth of unfinished cross-stitch kits and patterns is not enough for quality of life! She is delighted to be speaking about advent calendars and sharing what she has discovered about God’s plan to love humankind and bring us back to Himself.
COST: $25 per person includes afternoon tea, drinks and a DIY Advent Calendar Kit
RSVP: Please sign up, pay and choose your kit colour by the 24th of November

Meet the guest speaker:
Clare has enjoyed living and working on the Central Coast for over thirty years. It has been the perfect environment to raise six children, explore her interests in nutrition, public health and counselling, while being involved in a supportive Christian community.
Married life with Phil began at Dooralong Lodge in the valley and their home has been a place of refuge for people to recharge, reconnect with God and learn valuable life skills. Together they have been involved with planting two churches in the Wyong region.
Clare is passionate about working with people to achieve their full potential. She has run numerous Bible based recovery and educational groups in her local community.
Currently Clare is a volunteer case management at Destiny Haven (a women’s residential life skills training program), partners with her husband in an electrical and solar business and conducts occasional fermenting classes with the Picked Pepper Cooking School.
Clare loves sitting around the table with family and friends over a home cooked meal. Her garden is her sanctuary where Clare delights in growing vegetables and herbs for the family.
The scriptures call us to be “filled with the Holy Spirit.” What does this mean? And what about speaking in tongues, and prophecy? Does God still heal today, and should we expect Him to?
Come along to hear David D’Amour (Grace Bible Church) unpack the Bible’s teaching on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This will be a fantastic chance to ask questions and start a conversation with the Bible open together.
Cost / Free!
