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

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 19/10/25. God created humanity for a purpose. He provided everything that was good for us physically, emotionally and spiritually. Because we were created with a free will, he also provided directions and warnings that would protect us from natural and spiritual harm (Genesis 3:1-24). Most people do not consider that we are primarily spiritual beings... our bodies are only vehicles for our souls.

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 05/10/25. Forgiveness is the most vital of all practices we both accept and exercise as Christians. Every day of our loves we receive or generate offences of one type or another... mistakes are made, advantages are taken, feelings are hurt. Unless these are dealt with effectively, our lives become negative and our joy and performance falters. Forgiveness is the capacity to remain in harmony with ourselves, with each other and God. Forgiveness is difficult if we are not sure of what God is offering and expecting. Forgiveness is not about making excuses, nor is it about condoning bad behaviour... it is a pardon, where blame and judgement are not enforced. Effective repentance frees our lives and the lives of others from shortcomings which can trouble our conscience and limit our peace and happiness.

Delivered by Pastor Brad Smith 21/09/25. The following scriptures make a clear case for the church to promote the anointing of the Holy Spirit as its first and most urgent priority. Many today are being side tracked by the need to have 'spiritual experiences', while the bible is more interested in getting people filled with the Spirit of God. Jesus Christ died and was resurrected so that the human race could have access to the life-giving powers of God. Jesus himself could not begin his ministry till he had the Holy Spirit within him... the infilling power and authority of God.

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).
