At Hillsong, we believe every person is called to be a bringer—someone who has encountered the love and grace of Jesus and can’t help but invite others into that same life-changing experience. Inspired by Ephesians 4:16 and Acts 1:8, we’re reminded that the Church flourishes when each of us plays our part—serving, loving, and reaching out. Like the Samaritan woman who simply shared her story, we don’t need a platform, a title, or all the answers—just a genuine encounter with Jesus. It’s not about building crowds, but about building lives. As we step out in faith, bringing our world to Jesus, we’ll see hearts transformed and His Church strengthened—one person, one story, one invitation at a time.

All Contribute - Renaud Von Wielligh
Ephesians 4:16 (NIV) paints a powerful picture of the Church as a living, breathing body—held together by Christ and built up in love as each one plays their part. At Hillsong, we believe everyone has a place and a purpose. There’s no such thing as sitting on the sidelines in the Kingdom of God. You were created to contribute—your gifts, your heart, your worship—it all matters. Romans 12:4–8 reminds us that we’re uniquely gifted, and 2 Samuel 24:24 challenges us to bring an offering that costs us something—real contribution is always personal and poured out. But we also know this: apart from Jesus, it’s all in vain. John 15:5 reminds us that He is the vine, and we are the branches—everything we do flows from Him. So as we grow together, let’s be a Church that loves deeply, serves boldly, and builds the body through every act of faithfulness, because all contribute.

The Ultimate Surprise Sunday - Phil Dooley
In his Easter message, Phil Dooley celebrates the resurrection of Jesus as the central truth of the Christian faith, emphasizing that Easter is not just a date or religious tradition, but a personal, life-transforming encounter with a risen Savior. Through humor and heartfelt storytelling, he reflects on the surprise and emotional rollercoaster experienced by the women at Jesus’ tomb, highlighting that God meets us in our fear and grief with love, hope, and presence. He encourages listeners to expect the unexpected from a God who does the unimaginable, reminding them that Jesus stepped down to humanity not to enforce rules, but to offer relationship, peace, and victory over death. Ultimately, the message is a call to live boldly, share the good news, and embrace the love symbolized by the cross.
