    Straight talk from a pastor to congregation

    Prayers of an Honest Pastor I love teaching the Bible. It’s what I feel called to and it’s probably the most rewarding thing I do. I hope and pray that I’m allowed to do it until I’m really old and just drop dead doing it one day. I love teaching the Bible. But there are times that I look out ...read more

     | 2,510 views

    Number 3 in a series looking at how we do evangelism in our communities. This sermon suggests that different techniques are needed for different kinds of people.

    APPROACH WITH CARE Relationships are messy things. They require loads of time, emotional energy, and extreme courage to face the certainty that you will get hurt. And there always is some kind of hurt. In relationships we face the risk of misunderstanding each other; we risk having our feelings ...read more

    based on 17 ratings
     | 12,513 views

    How do you reconcile the existence of evil with the existence of a good, all-powerful God? Part 5 of a series inspired by Philip Yancey’s book "Disappointment with God."

    If God’s so good, why does evil exist? Good question, and a question that theologians, philosophers, and even sceptics have dealt with for centuries. Several possible answers have been proposed, but each one seems to spark more questions. And we’re not going to be able to exhaustively answer that ...read more

     | 16,897 views

    Nascar has one of the loyalist fan bases in the US and it is the only major US sport that opens its ceremonies with prayer. See how Colossians 1 applies to the "race for Christ."

    TEXT: Colossians 1:12-23 TITLE: The Winning Circle of His Love (The stage was decorated with various racing items including race flags crisscrossed on the pulpit and a racing streamer across the length of the stage.

    Malachi reminds us who it is we worship. We need to approach him with reverence and awe.

    Some people have asked me why I chose Malachi as our next series. Well, there was no special reason, but one thing I’ve discovered as I’ve begun preparing this series is that it’s a great book to be studying right after looking at the letters to the seven Churches in Rev 1-3. Why? Because what I’ve ...read more

On the 1st morning, the unit was dragged out of bed by the drill sergeant and made to assemble outside.

    Consider the blessed hope - the return of Christ for the saints and what should be our response to it.

    THE BLESSED HOPE AND OUR RESPONSE TO IT Titus 2:11-15 The Christian’s "blessed hope" that is referred to in Titus 2:13 is the imminent, personal pre-millennial return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

    Do you live in fear? Well it is time to stop. Fear stops us from reaching our true potential but faith is uplifting. Faith in God that is? Try it and see!!

    The Transformer ¶And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

    The writer to the Hebrews attempts to show that the Offering of Christ at Calvary was far better than that of Abel. Abel offered up the first human animal sacrifice to atone for his sins, as good as that was-it pales in comparison to what Christ offered.

    Could it be that we are living just like the people in Jesus day, could it be that we are so familiar with Jesus that we dismiss his authority and perpetuate the dominance of evil in our lives?
