Great sermon brother Dave.i am an atsi Australian.We were raised in exactly all the beliefs that you have discussed/displayed in this video.Because Christ now reigns in me ,i also have gladly forsaken any pagan stuff from my ancestry.Not by force or compulsion but because Christ saved me and I love Him and I am eternally grateful for the undeserved grace,mercy, forgiveness and love He gave me first.Welcome to country should be sacked immediately in secular society and in the Church.
Indeed we love all our brothers & sisters in the Lord, but we cannot compromise God's word. Jesus is the way, the truth & the life. Anything that contradicts that message, or even 'blurs' God's word, has no place in our church services. 💒 It may be useful to help us understand the culture of others, but not to have it used to compromise the word of God. This needs to be addressed with love, in obedience to God. 🙏
Thank you for speaking out on this topic. I have a youth centre near here which refuses to put up an Australian flag even for Australia Day, but which flies the transgender flag, the progressive pride flag and aboriginal flag. They have books about homosexual boys being paid by men for sex, available for 12yo children. It's supposed to be inclusive and welcoming but it excludes everyone who's patriotic, everyone who doesn't want to pretend people change sex, and so heaps of kids can't go there or won't. So what's left is basically an LGBT hang out centre. And it's supposed to be a youth centre for all kids around here from 12-25. I speak out against this all the time despite the horrific replies i get. What they're doing is wrong and people need to know about it. I was also trying to get involved with a church group that mentors kids on camps, but in orientation they asked us to state our name and the aboriginal name for where we live. Now everyone else was woke cos they all knew the names but i have no idea what mine is. If we are expected to learn this new language then they're going to have to say the name we know, such as Fraser island, and then the aboriginal name along with it, or none of us will know where they're talking about! It'd need to be this way for around five or ten years before anyone can expect us to generally know the name of our area. Most people have no need to know such things and no real desire to. And that group also expects mentors to pretend children are the opposite sex if they say they are, and this would include allowing boys to stay in girls dorms at camps if they say they're girls. And when they brought up the controversial issues i figured that has got to be one, but no, everyone silently agreed with that, and the controversial issues were baptism and denominational or doctrinal differences that we were to find harmony with. So nobody addresses the elephant in the room, the hypothetical boy who claims girlhood and we have to, as Christians, pretend he's a girl to the point of letting him shower, change and sleep with the girls we are supposed to have a duty of care towards! This is a big group too. And i speak out against them all the time too, with grace as needed. They're straight up doing the wrong thing and just like the youth centre, when i confronted them they just banned me. Didn't want to discuss it or hear why they must repent.
Mixing Paganism and Christianity equals Confusion. Promotion of the World is to worship Creation instead of Creator. Sabbath is the day for Remembering our Creator and Respecting what He has done for us. Great message, and answers a Great amount of questions! Thank you Dave!
Syncretism can only occur when there is a limited understanding of God and his word (the Bible). Therefore, the buck must stop with those in leadership. Have they ignored the teaching of God's word for other things that are (falsely) believed to be more entertaining. It is a shame that the truth of God has been traded for false teachings. The Shepherds have to turn back to the Lord.
@@annieBBL24 Ezekiel 34 is where God addresses the shepherds of Israel. It is a strong word. I don't think that all the shepherds today are corrupt or lack the love for their communities. They have been ineffective when it comes to discernment and have lacked the courage to stand up on important issues. They have turned a blind eye on occasions and they have put some priorities in the wrong place. We all need to honour the Lord.
@@aussierob7177 The ultimate membership a person can join is in the Body of Christ. Stated plainly, the Body of Christ is the church (1 Corinthians 12:27). This does not mean individual church buildings where Christians meet regularly. Rather, believers collectively form the church as the Body of Christ. Therefore the Australian church are Australian believers
Thank you for your Godly leadership and courage

You are a wonderful and humble brother!
As Christians from different persuasions, we can learn a lot from each other, proving all things, ultimately from Prayer and Scripture study.

Syncretism. But good points!

One Nation has a great sticker "Stop welcoming me to my own country"
Absolutely!
Good word. Tku
The Catholic "church" is pagan thats why they accept Australian aboriginal pagan teachings, stop calling them Christian! If truth matters to you. 🙏✝️
@@annieBBL24 yes i do. 👍
Agree. It's a false Gospel, plain and simple. I am sick of Christians giving the Roman Catholic church a pass.
Christmas and Easter is in most churches
Which church was this at?
Any person who views their day of worship as Sun day are following man made traditions and not the biblical day of worship.
What on earth is the "Australian Church" ?
all believers in Australia 🇦🇺
@@jenniferherb5212 Was this Church established by Christ in 33 AD ?

@@jenniferherb5212 The Body of Christ is the original Church established by Christ in 33 AD man-made churches are not part of the Body of Christ.
@@aussierob7177 of course man made churches aren't
