"Trusting the Word of God." MP3

Is there a difference between reading & trusting the Word of God?
Can the Bible truly be 'God's Word for man'? (Mankind)
Or, as some like to think, is the Bible only
'Words about God written by man'?
Can we believe what the Bible says?

Can we really trust what it says?
Psalm 119 reminds us over & over again that God's Word is eternal,
faithful, righteous, trustworthy & true!
Why not start each day by reading a passage of the Bible,
then meditate on it throughout the day, (mull it over, dwell on it)
God will speak to you through the pages of His Word!

"May my tongue sing of your word,
for all your commands are righteous!"
Psalm 119:172

"Hope in the Resurrection." MP3

With all that's going on in the world financial system,
it's good to be reminded of what's important.
When we think about what we place importance in,
or what we place our trust in, our hope in,
we should come back to God's Word for guidance & direction.
The Apostle Paul wrote a great letter to the Christians at Philippi
instructing them where their hope is found & what was important.
All the riches of this world, gold, silver, stock markets & bank deposits just don't come close to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ!
As the last couple of weeks have reminded us so clearly,
we can't trust the riches of this world to remain constant & sure.
We can't build our faith on them.
So listen along as Steve Wilton explains why.

"Lessons we learn from Moses." Prt 2 MP3

Exodus chapter 15
After Moses leads God's people through the Red Sea, they stop & praise God for His incredible power displayed right in front of them.
They certainly had plenty to praise Him for!
And so do we!
But as we read the book of Exodus we see God's people turn from praising God, to grumbling, complaining & quarreling amongst themselves! They had let their imediate circumstances control their attitude, their disposition & their thinking.
Whenever we let our circumstances control us, our emotions take a dive don't they?
Suddenly everywhere we turn there are reasons to complain, things to grumble about.
But if we lift our eyes up toward heaven & think once again about the Mighty God who was & is & is to come, we once again have reason to sing out in praise!

Lessons we learn from Moses. MP3


For a number of weeks, our Kid's Ministry has been learning heaps from the life of Moses & how God used him to free the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt.

So, the kids stayed in this week, to help the grown ups learn some lessons from Moses life as well. From his birth, his life as an Egyptian, his encounter with the burning bush, his return to Pharoah, & leading God's people through the Red Sea.

A simple man used in a mighty way for God's purpose! Listen along to hear more.
