Guest Speaker, Ps Chris Ensbey from Citipointe Church, Brisbane joins us today with a powerful message about where we are in our lives right now. Where God wants us to be? Or not there yet? What's holding us back? Ps Chris refers to a well-known Bible story to help us out.
Ps Joey ponders 2024 and wonders how we will enter 2025. We certainly don't need to carry baggage into 2025. God knows and Ps Joey knows too . Using many Scriptures she reads how we can overcome all the negatives from the past and enter 2025 clean and with victory. She also gives us three action points we can take to succeed in this. Be set free!
It's nearly Christmas! Ps Adam reminds us of the greatest gift God gave us at this time. He then humorously relates all the different kinds of gift-givers ..... and re-gifters! The greatest of all is the FREE gift of eternal life. Who gets that? As Christians, we quickly discover that God continues giving all the time. What shall we do with all those gifts?
Liam revisits his childhood and tells us that he had questions about some aspects of Christmas. He suggests we just "Celebrate the Day". He then reads many Old Testament scriptures which prophesied about Jesus quite clearly. That removes any doubts! To add to that he gives us 3 'gifts' for Christmas.
Ps Joey shows us that our emotions can be magnified at Christmas. The bad ones can interfere with our enjoyment of Christmas. When some person or circumstance upsets our Christmas we can be offended. The Bible has much wisdom to help us with that. Ps Joey leads us through all that so we can have freedom at Christmas and pass that freedom onto others.
Someone had planted a fake newspaper in the Ryan house. The front page was dated 2028 and was a satire of Citicoast Church closing down. It prompted Ps Adam to ponder how it would be "If We Weren't Here" in our city. The light of Jesus that we carry with us would not be present. Surely everyone would notice the difference? How strong is the light of Jesus in each of us? Ps Adam presents many Scriptures that show us how we should behave in public so that there would be no doubt about how our ligh...
Ps Adam opens with an anecdote where he wasted his time and failed to succeed - a Pointless Pursuit. He then describes numerous distractions that we are confronted with and that can draw us away from God's calling in our lives. He doesn't leave us feeling guilty, though, but provides Biblical solutions to help us have a more meaningful life, the one God wants for us.
Do we just know about God or actually know Him? Ps Joey passionately describes the difference and how we can get there by Encountering God's Presence. She urges us to desire to do this and shows us how using the scriptures and her own testimony. Make this extra step!
Ps Adam points out that the answer is so simple but we can make it so complicated. He uses many scriptures that discuss being saved. And shows how it can be condensed to just one word! Can we lose our salvation? Ps Adam shows us how to keep it. You didn't know the answer to this? Confused about it? This message is for all of us.
Ps Adam and Ps Joey combine to present today's message. Ps Adam points out that Jesus could not have faced exactly the same problems that we do today. e.g. Getting stuck in traffic! And many, many more. Between them they examine all the aspects of life that confront us in our era and show us how the Bible is the Living Word for all times because we can always find the answers there, even today. Having trouble getting it right day-to-day? This is an important message for us all.
Ps Adam opens with a dramatic account of Jesus' journey to the cross, His agony in the Garden, and other aspects which reveal to us what kind of a heart He has. It's the kind of heart that God wants us to have. Our heart tells a story. Ps Adam then goes into detail with three aspects of Jesus' heart which would do us all well to adapt to our day-to-day lives.
Guest speaker, Gillian Cameron from the Gold Coast, continues our new series with Speak like Jesus. She reminds us that Jesus speaks the language of faith. Using three points, many Scriptures, and many testimonies, she shows us how to change our language and speak in faith as Jesus did.
When we meet someone from out of town, we see they look different. That's how God wants us to be in the world. Ps Adam describes the sinful behaviour of three renowned biblical cities and how we should not go and spiritually "live there" and become like them. Ps Adam presents some excellent knowledge to help us Live Like Jesus.
