We celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit this coming Sunday at Hobart Baptist Church. Hope you can make it!
Stephen Baxter will be preaching: The Holy Spirit came upon the early church and changed the course of history. On the night before his crucifixion, Jesus explained to his followers how he needed to leave so that the work of the Spirit could begin. Next Sunday we will explore the three-fold ministry of the Holy Spirit - counsellor, witness and teacher.
Penned in prison nearly 2000 years ago, nevertheless, this letter is full of relevance to our times. Themes such as racial and ethnic reconciliation, unity in the body of Christ, and holiness setting the church apart from the surrounding culture, are significant and pertinent to us today.
But so often our perspective is too low, too human, too temporal, too material, too earthly, too self-centred. In this letter Paul challenges us to see our earthly reality in the light of the heavenly, eternal and spiritual reality.
Each week we will explore one chapter of the letter through the lens of the theme “Grace upon Grace.”
The text for the week will be chosen by the preacher for the day. Each will bring their own unique insights.
The goal is that we be gripped by the glory of what God has done for us in Christ, what this means for us in our daily living and what it will mean for us in the future.

International Singer-Songwriters & Musicianaries
Eric & Monique’s music is an exceptional blending of intelligence and beauty. The married duo are singer-songwriters who write deeply biblical, piano-driven songs that have a genre blending sound.
Their original compositions strive to allow space for the Holy Spirit to minister in a setting of lyrical efficiency, a classically tinged piano and vocal harmony.
A Love Offering will be taken up to support Eric & Monique’s full-time music ministry
