Bible Verse of the Week

"This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."


Romans 3: 22-23

Term 4

Hey REEF-ers 

Hope that those of you who manage to make it to the Holiday Event had heaps of fun :D.

Term 4 is upon us! The last term of the year, and Reef is back. This term's series is: Justification. And from the ever insightful amanda, we have a list of questions emailed to us:

  • How can I be right with God, and what does it look like to live it out?
  • Is a relationship with God really possible?
  • What justification do I need?
  • If i'm saved by faith alone, why do I need to live a good life?
  • Can I be sure of going to heaven?

    • Wow.. its blue now.. this topic is a must attend for all you reefers, cos its core-christianity we're into, what defines our faith. This friday's Justification through Grace. What is Grace? Why is it so important? Why are we justified? Why should we be justified? Can we be justified without Grace? I hope all of you can attend. 

    A Question popped up during this week: What is a Christian?

    Well... heres the most simplist answer: Come to REEF this term and learn about Core Christianity to know more!! :D

    But, a Christian is more than just a goody-doody two shoe who attends church every sunday, does his quiet time every night, reads from the book every two days. Now, i've heard from speakers that the definition is NOT a Christian. I'll use the term, MORE than. Cos Christians can be those people. 

    Im not trying to confuse you but, question yourself. Why do you go to church? Whats the reason behind it? Friends? Family? You mother yanking you by the ear at 9 45 on a cold sunday morning? 

    To know what a Christian is, you need to know what being true christian is like. Its like, you want to know what a Maccer's Soft Top is, but without tasting and looking at it. You know that theres a pointy crunchy thing at the bottom, and the top is soft. But not until you've seen it, tasted it do you know its practically made from cow fat. 

    Heres a hint. Being Christians, we are saved. Why are we saved? Through what are we saved? Why should we be saved? What is saved? Who saves us? When are we saved? From what are we saved? 

    I hope these questions and more will be floating around your head this week, and bursting out on Friday night. Ambush a leader! Ask them the question! If you forget, post one here, a leader will get in touch with you. 

    Justification through Grace.
