H2O: Stay Thirsty, part 2
Psalm 65 says that God takes care of the earth and He waters it, making it rich and fertile. Wow! And if God does this for the earth…. How much more would he do for you and me, His children?
H2O – “Stay thirsty”
The Scribes and Pharisees saw holiness and righteousness as something they could attain by keeping the letter of the law, but Jesus is saying that He came to fulfil the law and by the Spirit, if we stay hungry and thirsty for more of God, then we will be filled up.
H2O revisited
Returning to the H2O theme from 2022, keeping in our hearts and minds the things God has spoken to us for our place, ministry and direction as a local church.
Mothers’ Day – honouring all the Mums
Today we honour mothers, not because they are any more important than anyone else here, but because God has given them a vital role in all our lives.
Building a People of Power
Jesus is building His Church across throughout the earth – He has been working on this, and is still working on this…. And we are His Church – YOU AND ME!
Let’s All Play Our Part
There are many "heroes of the faith" that are well known for the part they played in the Bible story and the history of God's people. But there are no "sidekicks" in God's kingdom.
Revelation, Belief and Trust
God reveals Himself to us, in many ways and at many times, but He is most clearly revealed in the person of Jesus, conveyed to us through the Bible but also in his personal presence that is just as real today. Revelation is God's part, but do we respond (OUR part) in faith and trust in him?
God Is Present
Jesus promised "I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Matt. 28:20). This has profound implications for us in our daily lives and how we live in light of His presence and power being always with us.
“Special OPS”
First Sunday gathering after the summer break! We welcome pastors Dave and Caroline back from a month in the UK. God is with us, wherever we go and whatever we do. His presence is powerful! With the Holy Spirit's presence and power we are "SPECIAL OPS" Observe - what God is doing and how His presence is being made manifest to youPonder - think about that and what God is saying and what he's showing youScribe - write it down, with the intent to pass it on and make His name famous!
The Journey: Position yourself for more
It doesn't matter who we are, we are on a journey ... life is a journey. It's all about how we walk it out, what we learn along the way, and how we position ourselves for greater things. Just personally, I feel like I've talked about this a lot over the last few years - it's become a big part of my language. I guess I believe that the life journey I am on has had such a varied range of landscapes and lookouts, bumps in the road and some amazing smooth highways to go seriously fast on (please note, I am not talking literally :-)). The one thing I am absolutely sure of is that I know that I don't want to journey anywhere without Jesus. When our kids were all little, we were generously given a week's holiday down south near Batemans’s Bay. We decided on one of the days that we were going to do a walk…
