Have you ever had a lukewarm cup of tea? There’s simply nothing worse, so imagine … I mean, just imagine … what a lukewarm Christian feels like to the God who sent His Son to suffer and die for you and me. Just imagine.
DON’T BE A LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN
One of the things that hits me between the eyes over and over again is how honest and direct God is. That may sound a little odd. I mean,...
One of the hardest things in life is to bring a difficult issue to a head in a relationship that really matters to us. So how do you speak the truth in love?
Giving the Hard Advice
I’d like to share a story with you as we open the program today. A few years ago I was working as a consultant in the Information Technology Industry and I was called into an organisation to do a review of ...
No doubt you’ve heard the saying – you can pick your friends but you can’t pick your relatives. So – what do you do, when the people you’re closest to turn out to be amongst the most difficult to deal with?
We’re All Different
The first thing we notice when we look around at other people is that we are all different, aren‘t we? In a room of just ten people, even if two people are ide...
We all have some difficult people in our lives. You do. I do. So how do you deal with them – especially when you’re under fire from the enemy?
It’s Easy to Fight Wars
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but dealing with people, sometimes difficult people, is a big part of life, at home, at work, socially. And conflict can take its toll. Sometimes we feel as though we’re under pressure - a...
So I wonder – who’s the most difficult person in your life right now? Chances are you can picture their face. Well I’d like to spend some time with you chatting about the number one most difficult person in your life.
When People Look at Us
Let me ask you a question: when the world looks at the church, what does it see? When people look at the church of Jesus Christ, what is it they s...
With Easter done and dusted for another year, it’s kind of easy to forget about the Cross, Christ’s suffering, the resurrection and the empty tomb … and just get on with life. What do all those things have to do with what I have going on in my life now? But that sort of attitude can get us into a lot of trouble.
THE RIGHTEOUS MAN DESTROYED
It’s funny how we build rituals into our lives ...
I guess when we think of Easter we think of it way, way, way in the past and I guess of its consequences way, way, way in the future. The past act of Jesus dying for you and me and the future blessing of a resurrection for us to live eternity with Him. In the past ...
By about this time of year any little bit of a break we might have had over Christmas and New Year is but a dim distant memory. We’re back in the grind and we’re looking forward to our next break – awesome! But surely there’s more to life than that.
HOPE MATTERS
Hope is a beautiful word, four letters, j...
Suffering is not a lot of fun is it. Nobody looks forward to it, and yet, it’s pretty certain that storms will hit our lives. So, when they do, there’s a confidence that God wants you to have in your heart. A confidence, in Him.
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THAT
Suffering is bad enough, but if while you’re ...
Way too many Christians are way too timid in their prayer lives. Now, I’m not saying be belligerent and demanding, but let me tell you, if your faith is in Jesus … you have a lot more power in your prayer than you realised.
OUR FAITH IN CHRIST
Well, welcome to this last program in the four part series that I’ve called, “The Power of Prayer”. Over the last few weeks we’ve been looking ...
Prayer is not always what we think it is. We expect instant results. But God’s ways aren’t our ways’ His thoughts aren’t our thoughts. Which is why Jesus told some strange parables about prayer.
A FRIEND AT MIDNIGHT
Today we are continuing on our series called the, “Power of Prayer”. And over the last...
When we go to God to pray, all too often we head in with a shopping list don’t we? “I need this … I need that … oh God please help me with this … oh God please end my pain and suffering … oh God” … but what if I told you that by and large, at least according to Jesus, prayer isn’t all about me. It’s not all about … you.
IT’S NOT ABOUT ME
This week on the programme we are continuing in...
Communication between people – I mean real, meaningful communication is becoming harder to come by. Technology lets us be more connected – but somehow we communicate less. With people, and with God…
THE COMMUNICATION GAP
Now this week on the programme we are starting a new series that I’ve called, “The Power of Prayer” – the power of having a conversation with God – a relationship, an...
Each person who believes in Jesus has a battle going on inside. Between the desires of the flesh, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Each one. Sometimes we feel as though it’s a battle we’re losing, even though we’ve already won. How can we actually live out that victory? How can we walk in in the Spirit?
THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT
One of the most encouraging things God has ever ...
One of the things that I’ve noticed is that I don’t have the strength, or the power in my own right to live the life that God wants me to. Have you noticed that too? We try … and we fail. What we need, is power. Power from high. Fortunately that’s exactly what Jesus has in mind.
POWER FROM ON HIGH
Great to be with you again this week and today we’re continuing in this series of messag...
One of the things that we’re promised about Jesus is that when we let Him into our lives – He’ll sort the good from the bad – the wheat from the chaff in each one of us – and then burn the chaff with an unquenchable fire. At first that sounds a bit confronting. And yet when Jesus gets to work cleaning out the muck we have on the inside – talk about setting the captives free!
REFINER’S FIRE...
So many people wish that they could say they’re living their lives by walking in the Spirit. But that’s not really how their life works at all. In fact God often seems a million miles away. Well, there’s a reason for that – it comes down, as it turns out, to a question of priorities.
DECIDING WHAT'S IMPORTANT
Today we are kicking off a new series that’s called ‘Walking in the Spirit’....
Sure. We’re created to be an individual, but not in isolation – in community, and community doesn’t work if it doesn’t accept and love and value the uniqueness of each individual in it.
IS YOUR LIFE GOING TO COUNT?
Each minute that slips by is one less minute that you and I have to live on this earth. How we spend this precious time has everything to do with the sort of life we’ll hav...
As long as you hold onto that thing from the past, it has a hold over you, and as long as it has a hold over you, you can’t take hold of the blessings that are coming your way.
WHO’S IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT?
Imagine you’re driving along in your car one day, and you see a car swerving all over the place. ...
Every hurt, every pain, every argument, every flash of anger every desire for revenge, the only way to defeat those things is with the steadfast love of the Lord our God.
I’M ANGRY
With all my heart I believe that you and I are created to live an extraordinary life, but one of the things that robs man...
