Concord Baptist Church is a family of regular people who love Jesus and have found that life works best when we do it together with God and each other. Our goal is to be a welcoming and inclusive community of people; we might not have all the answers but we are listening to God’s Word and caring for one another along the way. As a church we are on a journey; seeking to discover what living with God’s Holy Spirit looks like in a multicultural city like Sydney. It is our privilege to worship together with people from a wide range of ages, cultures and backgrounds.
Our Sunday Service begins at 9:30am. All welcome!

The Big Picture: Week 3 – Israel (Nehemiah 9:5-33)
As we journey through the bible we often come to the books after Genesis and our interest wanes. The various laws and temple rituals don’t make any sense to us today, the words of various prophets sound too harsh, and we usually skip through the lists of tongue twisting names (except to find a unique biblical name).
On the other hand, people have found comfort in reading the psalms and gems of wisdom in reading proverbs. Reading the Old Testament is hard going!
In our joint sermon series, so far, we have looked at how God created a perfect and a beautiful creation. Then we saw how everything fell apart because Adam and Eve decided to not trust God which led to their disobedience and rebellion against God. This resulted in a whole lot of broken relationships. In the middle of this mess, in Genesis 3 we hear the good news – God’s got a plan to restore this broken world.
What we have in Genesis 12 to the book of Nehemiah is the record of Israel’s story covering around 1600 years, but why do we need to know their story? Where does Israel fit in God’s plan to restore the world? This is what we will explore as we spend time unpacking Nehemiah 9 this Sunday.
