Sunday Morning Together

By: Vision Christian Media
  • Summary

  • In recent times thousands of Aussie Christians have been unable to get to church, due to lockdowns and restrictions. For many, because of health, work or other reasons, this is nothing new. Whatever the reason, if you can’t be at church this Sunday, let Vision bring church to you!

    Each week Phil Edwards is joined by Pastors and Church leaders for “Sunday Morning Together” across Australia on Vision Christian Radio. Scroll down for local times.

    There will be worship, good conversation, prayer, teaching and communion…. although we’ll probably skip that bit where we shake hands. 🙂

  • Ps Phil Hopwood - 3 Nov 2024
    Nov 3 2024
    Phillip (Phil) Hopwood was christened an Anglican, but brought up in a Methodist church in Launceston, Tasmania. He enjoyed Sunday school and had some excellent teachers. In his teens, Phil joined the Worldwide Church of God (WCG). They observed a seventh-day Sabbath, Jewish Holy Days and food laws (eg no pork, shellfish, etc.). The church also believed the Holy Spirit was the impersonal power of God, denying the Trinity. In the early 80’s, Phil studied at the WCG liberal arts school, Ambassador College, in Pasadena, California. After graduating, Phil moved to Canada to minister at a local congregation. He married in 1986 and was transferred back to Australia to pastor the Newcastle congregation in 1992. By this time, he and his wife had three kids. In the mid-90’s the WCG leadership made a dramatic shift, announcing they were under the New Covenant and not bound by the Old Covenant. This caused massive and ongoing repercussions, but Phil was overjoyed by the change of direction. The church later changed its name to Grace Communion International (GCI). In 1997 Phil moved his family back to Tasmania to pastor three congregations. The Launceston church became the first Australian GCI congregation to move to Sunday services at that time. One of Phil’s most difficult experiences came when his first wife left and remarried. He experienced cycles of depression, shame, feelings of abandonment and deep grief. He was helped greatly by close friends and family and found that faith, hope and not burying the grief, but understanding and working through it made a big difference. After 41 years in pastoral ministry, Phil retired on June 30th this year.

  • Ps Russell Evans - 20 Oct 2024
    Oct 20 2024
    Pastor Russell Evans was born on the mission field in Papua New Guinea and raised as a pastor’s kid (PK) in Adelaide. He comes from a strong Christian lineage reflected in his depth of experience, knowledge of the Word of God, and passion for the local church. Russell understands the pressures that accompany PKs and struggled as a young man to find his life purpose. This experience caused him to be passionately committed to identifying, encouraging, equipping, and raising up young people and up-coming leaders to boldly walk in their God-given destiny. During the 1990’s, Pastor Russell served under his father, Andrew Evans, as Youth Pastor at Paradise Church in Adelaide. At that time Planetshakers Conferences became annual events in multiple locations around Australia. In 2004, the band and ministry moved to Melbourne and started Melbourne City Church. This eventually became known as Planetshakers Church, which today has over 21,000 members in eleven locations (eight in Australia and three international campuses in PNG, Singapore and South Africa). Russell married Sam in 1992 and together they have two adult kids, Jonathan (married to Selina), and Aimee (married to Noah). Aimee and Noah have a little boy, Malachi.
