Australia – Celebrating 15 Years of Grace
In Romans 11.36, we read, “For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” And as I look back now, just a week on from celebrating our fifteen year anniversary as Sovereign Grace Church, Wahroonga, Romans 11.36 is without doubt my full-hearted declaration. It has all […]
Strengthening Our Partnerships in Zambia & Namibia
August was a very sweet month for me, in that over a stretch of twelve days, I got to visit both Zambia & Namibia to seek to do all that I can to strengthen our work there… And what a sweet time it was! First up was Zambia, where I was warmly greeted at the […]
A Global Missions Gift for Your Church
At the SGC Pastors Conference last year I played a short 4 minute video of some of the Global Missions highlights from 2023, and ever since then, I’ve had a number of folk ask me if there’d be something like this that could be played and used at a local church level. Well, good news, […]
Things to Pray for in September
John Piper famously writes, ‘Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man.

As you watch this video, I hope it encourages you, excites you and reminds you just how glorious He really is. For […]
Serving in the Philippines
An update from Jeffrey Jo, Lead Pastor of CCSGM in Kawit, Manila, and key leader for SGC in the Philippines. Few things are more encouraging for a pastor than the moments he feels that he is not alone in the challenges of both marriage and ministry. I know the ‘feeling’ of not having that. For […]
New SGC Missions Site & Blog
For us in Sovereign Grace, we see global missions as “the great commission work of making and maturing disciples around the world.” This is something that Jesus himself calls us to in Matt 28.18-20, when he says, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of […]
