    Here is a message that is based from The 50 Day Spiritual Adventure "More Than Survivors". It’s has a bit of a postmodern feel to it, but with a strong challenge to get into the everyday world so many Christians are offended by.

    INTRO: Here’s a question! Have you ever spoken with someone visiting from another country? What’s the one thing we always seem to ask a foreigner? “How do you like America?” And what’s the one thing they always seem to say in return? “I like America. America very good”, or whatever the variation of ...read more

     | 3,274 views

    The Word of God comes in silence and is revealed as the word of the new and everlasting covenant, so that when we celebrate Eucharist we are freed from our messy little daily sins and given strength for the journey.

    Scripture tells us that not one word that Samuel spoke fell to the ground. Every word came to pass! What was Samuels secret? This sermon tells his secret.

    SAMUELS SECRET In this day and age of broken political promises, deception and lies most people feel betrayed by their leaders and institutions, and may I say somewhat embarrassingly the Church. However the Bible tells us about a man “whose words never dropped to the ground” a ...read more

    It is crucial for us to meet outside the normal schedule of the Church in smaller groups for prayer, fellowship, accountability, to grow in our faith and to gain confidence with sharing the Gospel. We band together as "little churches" outside the bigger Church!

    SAINT JOHN CHRYSOSTOM, WHO WAS THE ARCHBISHOP OF CONSTANTINOPLE (MODERN-DAY TURKEY) SAID THIS OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE CHURCH: “HE ESPOUSED HER AS A WIFE, HE LOVES HER AS A DAUGHTER, HE PROVIDES FOR HER AS A HANDMAID, HE GUARDS HER AS A VIRGIN, HE FENCES ROUND HER LIKE A GARDEN AND CHERISHES HER ...read more

    Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time

    I can’t help but think it was Mother Teresa’s having to suffer the loss of her father, who was murdered when she was a child, that directed her to a life of mercy.

    Jesus is asked 183 questions of which he only answers 3. The expert asked a question wanting to test Jesus and he got an answer. But in the story about the Good Samaritan, Jesus is testing him—and us. The man beaten and robbed was going from Jerusalem to Jericho. So were the priest and Levite, ...read more

    The rest provided by God energizes us for God’s Kingdom Business, and it all comes down to a matter of faith. Will we trust and believe? And so, the rest that energizes us to engage this world is a rest that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

    Is the Lord's Supper an act performed by rote, or do we worship the Lord through this act? The Meal is designed to actively bring to mind the sacrifice of our Saviour, bring us to the point of worship.

    “I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, ...read more
