An encouragement towards self reflection and evaluation this week, by way of the wayward prophet Jonah and through the passage oh so relevant to this calling. Let us continue to cultivate our desire to serve God.

What an awesome privilege to have the Holy Spirit of the Living God accompany you in your teachings. In the hours prior to the recording many, strong impressions from the Spirit about 'opening the eyes of the blind' and then the meeting with the text for today. Brilliant! Over to You, Lord! Help me stay awake! :-)

Marking the beginning of a journey through the acrostic Psalm 119 and trusting God to order our days and ways, in Jesus's name.

A fallen angel, a defeated foe, a thief, a liar and a murderer. Whatever his identity it is important that we know and realise one thing about him. His want, his desire, is to destroy us. How to prevent that is the purpose and encouragement of this message.

One of Christ's most repeated exhortations and the Bible's consistent instructions, to be told may be easier than putting into practice. Yet, it is our Lord's advice, so we should trust Him. May you be uplifted and encouraged, for the glory of God.

Challenged to present a simple gospel.

An important topic for clarification, understanding and equipping to aid in the sharing of the gospel. A subject that naturally makes many people feel uncomfortable, yet wholly necessary a something intrinsic to the human condition.

There is a lot of going around and not doing what the Bible says. I know that Jesus fulfilled the whole of the Law, yet I also know that He did not banish it. Living in a world, in a time in the world, where the Spirit of God is so desperately needed, I look at the things that I can actually do to improve my relationship and receipt of Him, not that I become puffed up, but that He can be glorified. In the laying of the first row of stones on the Foundation Stone that is Jesus Christ, aligning oneself to the spiritual metronome or time counter that God ordained at the time of Creation, helps us receive of His understanding of the frailty of the human condition. He does not need rest, we do. It is that simple.

Continuing the series on equipping for the basic function of the church body. The first message on this broad and necessary subject has been delayed because of spiritual attacks, business and a need to reencode the sound from the second segment of the video. Praise be to God who allowed and assisted in the doing of this, may you be blessed and unappalled at the message, in Jesus's name.

After the challenges and problems associated with the first piece on this topic, a time for a second and also one that includes application and direction.
