When we came to the church, we were introduced to a whole new world of signs, miracles and wonders. Our powerless lives were immediately transformed, we were speaking in tongues, amazing changes began to take place, both in our lives and the lives of other church members. A steady build up of God’s blessings served to motivate people to greater heights and expectations... then the unexpected happened... God seemed to ignore us for no known reason!

Talk Notes : "Now we know what life is, do we want to keep it as a permanent state or are we happy to lose it and return to non existence from whence we came?"

Talk Notes "The bible is a book of history, of spiritual detail, of revelation, of prophecy, of invitation and of common sense. One of the common ways that God reveals himself is through parables... simple stories that have spiritual themes woven through them. Every now and then, some of these parables contain surprisingly more than we realise... concealing overwhelming prophetic truths... "

Talk Notes "God has offered us eternal time, but this is based on putting our human time aside and developing our spiritual time. That is, we are expected to dedicate our lives and our resources towards the things of God, not the things of our pleasing. This requires sacrifices and value changes... that's what being a Christian is all about."

Talk Notes "Many Christians are frustrated with the difficulties of trying to save souls and produce increase for their church. Many new converts don’t last long and leave without grasping hold of many of the great blessings that God is offering. Is there a solution?"

Talk Notes "Every facet of life is made up of many challenging moments... storms can appear without warning, often doing great damage and sometimes claiming lives. Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit is able to lead us to safety through all of life’s storms."

Talk notes. "Jesus has revealed many of the mysteries that allow us to dramatically improve the quality of our life....and take control"

Talk Notes "The term ‘above all things’ is mentioned four times in the King James version of the Bible. The significance of such terminology instructs us to set priorities... with these four commands taking the top four positions on the Christians ‘must do’ list. "

How did David end up in the mess he got himself into? What were the small steps he took that led to his sin? How can we use his example to avoid temptation today?

Talk Notes : - "These reasons for sin have one result... they threaten our relationship with God and need to be removed. This is done through the knowledge of right and wrong and the application of repentance and forgiveness."
