Pas Bill Allen talks about the unfulfilled prophecies prior to, leading to, the coming of Jesus Christ.

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 14/09/25. There is a focus point that all Christians should build their life on. None of us can attain perfection within our own right... nor with the natural skills or abilities within us. Our dependence on God's mercy and forgiveness is far greater than we think and far more effective than we may find comfortable. Paul's personal testimony of his life reveals how he moved from being a murderer of the saints, to a super spiritual person. Once he was nothing more than a natural person (like most Christians'): transformed into a spiritually successful person.

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 07/09/25. To 'get back into the saddle' means doing something that we have stopped doing. For most of history, horses were the prime means of transport. Horses can be challenging and the path can be full of obstacles... accidents happened frequently. Many lost their confidence from such mishaps and thus the term was coined. There is an obvious spiritual parallel. When we get back in the saddle... nothing has changed. Same horse (God), same saddle (Holy Spirit), same rider (born again)... confidence needs to be restored quickly.

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 10/08/25. The following discussion reveals that the scriptural process to save the thief was all but impossible... the simple process of comparing spiritual with spiritual reveals much more than personal preferences.

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.

Delivered by Mitchell Lever 20th July 2025. God created humanity with various desires and needs to be met through our relationship with him. The world offers alternatives in God's absence. Alcohol is one example. It is important that we understand what alcohol is, how the bible views it's consumption, and God's promise to completely meet our needs (Jhn 6:35). In doing this, we uphold God's testimony as 'the light of the world, a city set on a hill', we remain 'in the world but not of the world', and we are able to give an answer 'to every man that asks a reason of the hope' that is in us (Mat 5:14, Pet 3:15, 1Per 2:9).

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.
