Welcome to FIX...

Think ‘FIX’ and you think first of a hit, a high, a buzz, a rush. You think of that tingly feeling from a dangerous experience that lets you know you are alive. It’s about a release. A FIX promises to make life deeply meaningful - at least for a minute or two.

‘FIX’ also means to repair, to redeem, to mend. Not something you take: something you do. When you FIX something, you mend its brokenness, you heal its injury, you offer it a second chance.

Christianity is not about a quickFIX. It is about getting FIXed. Christianity knows that people could never be perfect but that they are in need of FIXing. Jesus offers a true and lasting repair. By the broken body of Jesus, who was FIXed on a cross for us, we can be forgiven and mended.

Mostly, when you FIX something, even though you say “it’s as good as new” it isn’t true. The scars are still there. The wear and tear remains. The glue shows.
But with Jesus, the FIXed version is somehow even better than it was before. God makes glory out of the shabby. He did this when Christ rose from the dead and he’ll do it with those who believe in him. When we rise again with Christ, our bodies will be even better than the first time they were made. To be re-born is even better than being born.

We’re a group of people that love to “FIX our eyes on Jesus” [Heb 12:2]. We’re normal and quirky, we’re cool, calm and collected, we’re stuttering along loving the fact that God uses people like us to bring his FIX to the world. We’d love you to join us, for starters at 5:30pm each week on Sunday in the Chapter House, but even more in our lives as we live transfixed on Jesus.

If you have any questions, or just want to talk about life, the universe and everything, email me (joshappa@hotmail.com), ring me (0408 950 340) or rock up on Sunday at 5:30pm. We’d love to see you there…
