God's Unfailing Compassion Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 27/07/25. These 3 attributes offered by God, turn the simplicity of mercy, compassion and forgiveness into a powerhouse of opportunity. God's intentions towards us are certainly not hidden or distorted when we have a good understanding of how God works and what his real nature is. Jesus' death and resurrection have opened the door to more blessing than ever.

It is not a secret code for deciphering the date of Jesus' return.

The Name Of The Lord Delivered by Mitchell Lever 22/06/25. Throughout the Bible, God is known by many names, These names help us to better understand God's nature toward us. If we don't know who God is or what he can do, we can simply ask his name and he will reveal himself to us!

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 20/06/25. There is an intriguing scripture in the gospel of John that reveals that our works surpassing that of Christ's. 'John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father'. It is interesting for two reasons... the first is the statement that we will have the potential to do the works of Christ (miracles)...and the second, which is the most amazing, reveals that we have the potential to do even greater works than Christ... how can that be? What is something that Jesus didn't do, or couldn't do while he was on earth as opposed to what we can do while he is in heaven? The best way to solve this problem is to look at the changes that occurred after he left. We don't need to go too far into the book of Acts to find the answer.

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 15/06/25. The death and resurrection of Christ enabled God to introduce an far better covenant than the one it replaced. Our covenant begins with the personal anointing (indwelling) of the Holy Spirit. Due to the frailty of human beings, a system is also needed that can successfully deal with our future sins and shortcomings. To meet these needs, God introduced a covenant ruled by mercy and grace (MERCY = Not getting the judgement we deserve. GRACE = Getting forgiveness and blessing we don't deserve). Interestingly, God included one of the great, yet little understood blessings of the Old Testament for our ongoing benefit. This mechanism that keeps us free from our shortcomings is also referred to as 'the sure mercies of David'. These mercies are comprised of deliverance from our enemies and deliverance from ourselves... we no longer need to be victims to anything, especially sin. David's faith provided this covenant promise with God.

Delivered by Mitchell Lever 08/06/25. As people we constantly find ourselves in situations of waiting. Whether we are waiting for a bus, for the end of the working day, to finish a degree or training, or for a bad situation to resolve, we are required to wait. In our relationship with God we are also required to wait for blessing, provision, guidance, etc. He has promised that those who wait upon him will be taken care of and made strong. What we need to consider is HOW God has instructed us to wait.

The Prayer Of Faith Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 25/05/25. Today we will be investigating the powerful promises that God has given to us with regards to prayer. Prayer is communication and where there is no communication there can never be any results. The opposite is also true... good communication will bring about excellent blessings. The Lord knows all about our human nature and is more than aware of our strengths and our weaknesses. His indwelling Spirit provides complete answers for all human needs. This is the message that Jesus wants us to take out into the whole world... it works for everyone. To grow strong also means to get past weakness... this can only be achieved through the power of faithful prayer. Scriptural References.

Delivered by Chris Tankey 11/05/25. When Christians think about the foundations of Christianity, they most often, quite rightly, think and speak about his torture and horrific death on the cross and his resurrection from the dead, the empty tomb, and his appearances after his resurrection. But Jesus' burial in an identifiable tomb is a critical link in the chain of events. Not surprisingly, such a critical event in the chain of events, attracts controversy and commentary.
