A Determined Face (Luke 9:51-62)

Most of us probably know what it’s like to have something we need to do, but we haven’t been able to do for some reason. Maybe we need to mow the lawn, weed the garden, fold the washing or clean the windows. For younger people, it might be that we have an assessment piece to... Continue Reading →

Guiding into Faith (Galatians 3:23-29)

Getting a driver’s license is a significant step on the journey from childhood to becoming an adult. While many things have changed over the years in how we get our driver’s licenses, what hasn’t changed is the need to have an experienced driver guiding the learner in how to drive a car safely.

Peter & Saul (John 21:1-19; Acts 9:1-20)

Do you know what it’s like to see someone for the first time after you’ve had a fight, or they’ve said hurtful things either to you or about you?

Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:4-8)

An Extravagant Offering (John 12:1-8)

It's very important for people living in our time and place to smell good.

To achieve this, there is a wide range of personal hygiene products, body sprays,... Continue Reading →

Turning Around (Luke 13:1-9)

If you drive from Greenock towards Nuriootpa along Sir Condor Laucke Way, you go over a bridge which crosses the Sturt Highway. Just before you reach the bridge, there is a sign on the exit ramp from the highway facing the Nuriootpa-Greenock Road which reads, “Wrong Way. Go Back.” Hopefully you will never see this...

Under Jesus’ Wings (Luke 13:31-35)

Last weekend Tropical Cyclone Alfred had a severe impact on South-East Queensland and Northern New South Wales. There were plenty of pictures and videos of high winds, massive waves, pelting rain, flooding rivers and the damage which resulted from these extreme storm conditions.
