    A word of warning from the Sermon on the Mount: we must make certain our walk with God.

    Not Everyone’s Coming Home Matt. 7:21-23 Thomas Wolfe wrote, “You can’t go home again.” Robert Frost wrote, “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, They have to take you in.” I suppose there is an element of truth in both of these ideas. Wolfe wrote from the perspective of the ...read more

    When we listen to and obey our Lord Jesus we are received into a new spiritual family.

    THE NEED FOR SPIRITUAL CHANGE. Matthew 12:22-50. The spiritual blindness of the people opposed to Jesus is demonstrated in their reaction to His good works.

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Aug 11, 2015
     | 6,926 views

    Our Heavenly Father wants to invite you and me to a wedding. It is not a regular invitation and it is no ordinary wedding. The flight is paid for and the destination is Heaven. The reception is to take place on earth.

    Message: Summer can be a very busy time as we try to squeeze in vacation, visits to family and friends and respond to all those invitations. For most of us the wedding invitation is still one of personal importance and can sometimes cost us more than just a wedding gift. In some cases a wedding ...read more

    Sermon about ministry amongst the marginalised

    Twenty-something years ago, I was at a weekend meeting a few miles out of Taupo.

I soon found a ...read more

  • Grace - The Untold Story

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,108 views

    There are those who falsely teach that God's grace, through Christ Jesus, secures salvation without any change in character and lifestyle. Such a view ignores passages which explicitly state that grace demands a transformation.

    Grace is a constant theme in the Bible, and it culminates in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus (John 1:17). By His mercy, God accepted Christ's sufferings and death as the punishment for sin that we all deserved. By His grace (unmerited favor), God extended to those who put their trust ...read more

    Water baptism is only a symbol of what has happened in a person’s heart!

    As a church, one of our Statement of Faith is: Water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation. We also do not require water baptism for membership. Why do we say this? Being saved ...read more
