Who Is Your True Mother?

Contributed by Malcolm Rogers on Apr 14, 2016

Where are our true origins? We can only be free from death and law and the need to justify ourselves when we realise that our real mother is not from this world, but that we are children of the heavenly Jerusalem, of the promise of God

Paul writes, ‘The other woman corresponds to the Jerusalem above; she is free and she is our mother’ (Galatians 4.26) It is strange language. Why not ‘home’? It would make more sense But when Paul talks about ‘our mother’, he is speaking of our origins. Our ...read more

False Prophets

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 11, 2016

When the people of Judah and Jerusalem were in exile in Babylon there were false prophets who professed to be speaking for the Lord but they were just telling the people what they wanted to hear. These false prophets exist today. Warn your people!

Our King Weeps At His Parade Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 2, 2018

Jesus, in fulfilment of Zechariah 9:9-10. rides into Jerusalem and a massive parade starts. It seems that Jesus should be happy. The people are joyful and God is being praised. Yet in the middle of His parade Jesus weeps. Things are not as they seem.

Message Luke 19:28-44 “Our King Weeps At His Parade” You know something is important in a person’s life when they have multiple words to describe the same thing. (Picture of a toilet) Toilet, WC, Dunny, Throne, John, Loo … quite a lot of other names that are not so polite. (Picture of Me and ...read more

Leaders & Martyrs Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Oct 11, 2013

For the first few chapters of Acts we have heard about the beginnings and growth of the early church in Jerusalem after Pentecost. Now we start to see some of the growing pains and the spread of the church over the next several chapters.

The theme of the conference was, from our passage today, “we will devote ourselves to the preaching of the word and ...read more

Seven Mysterious Letters Series

Contributed by Rajkumar Pulla on May 6, 2010

There were many other churches at that time that would seem to be more historically significant than the seven that Jesus addressed: the churches at Jerusalem, Rome, Galatia, Corinth, Antioch, Colossae, Iconium, Lystra, Derbe, Miletus, to name a few. Why

Seven Mysterious Letters Revelation is the only book in the Bible that promises a special blessing to the reader.1 (Many passages tell us to read the Bible in general terms. Only one book has the audacity to say, in effect, Read me; I'm special.) Early in my teens, I encountered a Bible teacher ...read more

Zechariah’s Remarkable Prophecy

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 1, 2023

Zechariah's prophecy about Jesus' riding a donkey into Jerusalem leads us to look at what else Zechariah had to say about Jesus. It's all about him being king.

Today it’s Palm Sunday. We remember the occasion when, just a week before he was crucified, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. In a sense, nothing very remarkable happened. 2,000 years ago – as we all know – there were no cars or buses or lorries. If people were going somewhere they would ...read more
