Delivered by Pas Brad Smith 14/06/26 Darkness is nothing more than the absence of light... thus darkness is nothingness. Moths are drawn to artificial light that disorient them and they lose their natural ability to be guided by the moon or starlight...most die prematurely. Humans don't do much better; they are also drawn to artificial 'lights' that end up leaving them unhappy and broken... then they die. Walking in darkness is naturally frightening. This is where we come in as Christians. Scriptural References. Joh 8:12, Luk 1:76-79, Mal 4:1-3, Psa 84:11, Joh 8:12, Act 2:37-39, Pro 4:18-19, Joh 14:26, Psa 103:10-13, 1Joh 1:3-10, 1Joh 2:1.

Delivered by Pas Brad Smith 31/05/26. This topic will reveal the true extent by which God is willing to work with us and work through us. We will also confirm the vital facts that relate to the significance of the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We are the real people of God and we have a true hope based on an effective gospel. God has lovingly revealed the extent of this reality more clearly than we might realise. Scriptural References.

Delivered by Pas Brad Smith 10/05/26. Firstly, we are who God says we are... not who we say we are. Like all humans, our thoughts and opinions are strictly limited to our short existence. This applies to all humans no matter who they are, or where they are: saved and unsaved alike. Our emotions, experiences and ignorance can result in a vast difference between our thoughts and our reality... often being far different, even amongst church and family members.

Delivered by Pas Brad Smith 26/04/26. We live in a world where opinion continually outweighs provable facts and reality like no other time in history. Not surprisingly there are numerous times in history where the facts and realities have not suited the rulers of the day and have been denied. It is quite common to jail or murder those who dared reveal unpleasant realities. That is why God offers signs and wonders... it gives the honest heart something to build confidence upon, without having to rely on the opinions of others. Scriptural References.

Delivered by Pas Brad Smith 12/04/26. God used Elijah the prophet in some truly remarkable ways. This part of his life bares very similar likenesses to our need for salvation and the opportunities that God offers to support and care for us.

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 08/03/2026 Far too many people are incorrectly identifying bible salvation from false belief or emotional preferences... the bible has already revealed what is true and what is false... let's take a look.

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 01/03/2026 If we want to live forever, then we need to act like it. We all need to make daily choices that reflect the outcome we want. We need scriptural disciplines that guide us, build our lives on matters of primary interest... not worldly choices. When it comes to successful families and lasting happiness, then God is the only answer. The great secret rests in the power that made the universe and human existence possible... the Holy Spirit.

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 08/02/2026 Even though God is referenced as our Father (male), and Jesus is further gendered as His Son (also male)... there leaves a question in our understanding. Is there a feminine side of the Godhead? God purposely chooses explanations that contain gender principles, because the human race (and almost all living things), are gender based. We clearly understand gender issues and gender terminology; thus God uses them for spiritual clarity and understanding. Scriptural References.

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 25/01/26 God reveals very clearly that He is not our enemy, however, he holds us to high account, for how we represent him. In simple terms, God is revealed by the way he is presented and detailed by his people. The Pharisee leadership mocked God and his son and falsely presented hardships on the people that had nothing to do with God at all. Sadly, many believed them. Scriptural References.

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 21/12/25 Noise can be a huge distraction and often blocks out reality. Loud noise can force our attention away from what we are doing or want to do, because it overwhelms our senses. In reality, some people cannot think or function properly when different parts of the noise spectrum are loudly present. 'White noise' is a term used to describe a constant sound that includes all frequencies. It helps people focus because it subdues distracting noises and brings peace and harmony to the listener. Scriptural References. Joh 14:26-27, Heb 5:13-14, Heb 6:1-3, Mat 13:7, Mar 16:15, Mat 6:31-33, 1Pet 4:8-10.
