    I want to address those more this morning, but not without sharing my honest concern in addressing these things, concerns for what some of you may carry from the past; that THE CHURCH IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR MONEY THAN YOU

    Last Sunday night as I met with our elders and home group leaders¡K great time of discussion, and as they began to impress upon me how positive these past couple of weeks of focusing on stewardship with God and giving have been, and at the same time, how many practical questions still seemed to ...read more

    Jesus earthly ministry shifted into a different realm when he went past meeting the needs of the flesh to forgiving the sins of men. Suddenly he wasn’t just another Rabbi, because only God could forgive sins.

    The True Purpose of Ministry By Pastor Jim May Jesus was just beginning his earthly ministry. To recap what has been happening in the first chapter of Mark, He had walked along the seashore and called Simon Peter and Andrew, his brother, as they were casting their nets into the sea and they cast ...read more

    This is a very simple thought that the Lord has been plowing into my heart the last several days. It seems like every circumstance for the past week or so has pointed back to this principle: Love People, Like Things, Live for God.

    This is the second major earthquake our city has suffered in the past seven months. We have this time suffered more physical damage and serious loss of life and injury. If you are reading this please take the time to pray for the people of this city.

    6.3 [Why the hardest? February 22nd 2011 was a Tuesday, at 12.51pm the Quake struck effectively shutting down the City, New Zealand's second largest by population.

    God is removing His strong arm of protection and blessing from our country because of what we have allowed to happen, evidently the majority of the voters this past election felt that Obama and his cohorts was the best route for the nation, but in reali

     | 10,558 views

    It is so easy to characterise ourselves and others on the basis of past actions or occasions when sin has prevailed. The way Jesus deals with Thomas reminds us that we should not be judged on the basis of our reputation, but on the basis of Christ’s grac

    Message John 20:24-29 “Thomas … vilified by reputation” We like to put people into a box don’t we? To be able to look at someone and feel that we have a measure of who they are. We see a single mum … and all too quickly we make a presumption about the sort of person she is. We discover someone is ...read more

    Father's Day 2015

     | 6,006 views

    This is not, strictly speaking, a Father's Day message. It is about the confusion that has come into the family during this turbulent, chaotic, sinful time. The nuclear family is treated like some useless relic of ages past. What does the Bible say?

    Father’s Day I remember on one Father’s Day we were visiting the church of Karenlee’s Uncle Jim. In SS class the teacher was expounding on Proverbs 22:6, “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” And the main point the ...read more

    Many things have gone wrong in our society today as a result of “civilisation, modernisation or Westernisation” or whichever name is given to the moral decadence in this new age. Moral values, decency and respect are things of the past; they have long gone into extinction!

    PROVERBS 19:18 “Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.” (Proverbs 19: 18). The Cambridge dictionary defines discipline as “The training that makes people more willing to obey or more able to control themselves, and there will be punishment if these ...read more

    These Are The Days Of Elijah

     | 5,578 views

    Jesus seems to speak about two comings of Elijah, one that lies in the future “to restore all things” and another in their immediate past concerning John the Baptist, who would call the nation to repentance. Those days are here again!

    1Ki 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 1Ki 18:17 ¶ And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, ...read more

    We can all see that God’s timeline for the church is nearing its completion. The recent events in Paris France this past week confirm that we well may be the church of the Last Day’s the remnant church.

    based on 1 rating
     | 13,071 views

    The motto, "Only one life, twill soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last", forms the three points of this sermon of the fact that we only have one life to live in which to prepare for eternity, and that live is brief and and serious.

    Reflection D.4 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Revelation. The Rider On The White Horse.

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 12, 2020
     | 1,853 views

    Could the rider on the white horse be 'a spirit of conquest' which has been with us for the past 2000 years? The correspondence between Matthew 24 and Revelation 6:1-8 might lead us to think so.

    I started this enquiry in response to the question, could God be behind coronavirus? Could coronavirus be some form of judgement from God or a sign of ‘End Times’? To answer that in relation to ‘End Times’ we want to know what ‘End Times’ will look like. A decision we make at this point will ...read more
