     | 9,530 views

    A seven year old boy asked me a question when he saw the caption in our bulletin, " Does God hate love Pastor? What does this mean?" I just told him to listen to my sermon so that his question will be answered.

    The Love God Hates 1 John 2:12-17 Just before I preached one Friday morning a seven year old boy asked me a question when he saw the caption in our bulletin, " Does God hate love Pastor?

    The Will Of God, Coke And Honour. Series

     | 5,167 views

    Have you ever thought I wonder what the will of God is for my life? It could be honouring (that’s New Zealand-English, not a spelling mistake) others so that they too will do the will of God. This is about a culture of honour.

    In this time in history the basic desires, the basic drives of the human being are pretty much the same as they have been for all of history. In John’s first letter of three which incidentally I’m working through a series on, we get this directive from this great Apostle, who walked along side ...read more

    Wisdom sounds like a wonderful thing to have. Broadly speaking, there are two types of wisdom that we all experience in our daily lives, worldly wisdom and Godly wisdom. May God help us to have Godly wisdom in every season of life.

    Living in a Season of Wisdom We are continuing in our series on discovering our destiny and our focus this month is on knowing what season we are in. The natural seasons are winter, spring, summer and autumn; there are also spiritual seasons in our lives. Our focus today has been on Autumn and a ...read more

     | 5,785 views

    This sermon begins with a story of a mansion and trys to show how we can live in God's world

    . Driving up to the mansion seemed quite grand. The turrets bathed in the bright sunlight - windows glistened sending wild cascades of light over the pastures. The driveway was, well, elegant to say the least. But immediately Bernard sensed something was wrong. The hedges and shrubs had obviously ...read more

    Find Joy In The Journey - Love - 1 John 2 Series

     | 5,518 views

    The discovery of Love and the actions of love opens up our eyes to see Jesus, to hear Jesus and to touch Jesus, but the action of hate causes us to be blind to Jesus, deaf to Jesus and out of touch with Jesus. Love puts us in the light while hate traps us in darkness.

    The Spirit Of The Age Series

     | 4,781 views

    Although modern Christians seem to have abandoned any ethic of avoiding worldliness, the Bible has not. But what is worldliness, and why must we avoid it?

    The Spirit of the Age (I John 2:15-17) 1. People go through great lengths to avoid being proud and worldly. A rabbi and a cantor are standing in the largely empty synagogue one day, talking mystically about how, given the awesome glory of God’s Infinite Divine Presence, they are each really ...read more

    Reflection

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Mar 13, 2012

    Jesus' cleansing of the temple graphically proclaims that the temple was no only needed. Jesus is the the temple and with the Holy Spirit in us, we become a temple. God is among his people, bringing in his kingdom.

    John 2:13-22 “Reflection” INTRODUCTION I have always found the scene of Jesus cleansing the temple puzzling, if not troubling. It seems so out of character for Jesus. Certainly, he has shown anger before at the hardheartedness and judgmentalism of some people, but he has never ...read more
