Prayer Meetings
"To allow the church family to plan ahead and to avoid confusion, we
will be having our weekly prayer meetings mostly on a Tuesday night.
Below is a list of the upcoming meetings and the elder who will be
leading each night. Prayer meetings will run from 7:00pm to 7:30pm,
except on the night of the Congregational Meeting.
12 July - to be held as part of Congregational Meeting on 13 July
19 July - Chris
26 July - Kees
We would strongly encourage you to come along and pray for our church
and God's work in our community. Please feel free to contact the elder
leading if you would like to pass along any prayer requests."
Ephesians 4:30
This is an amazing Scripture! For it speaks of the Holy God living within unholy people through His Spirit.
And the unholy people: that's us. No, we may not be as bad as some other people, but in our words, thoughts,
and actions, do we not often fail God's standards? Somewhat like the apostle Paul in Romans 8: "For what
I do, is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do - this I keep on doing."
And yet, because of Christ Jesus, the Spirit of God desires to live within the believer. He is God's mark of
ownership, God's seal of security, God's guarantee that one day God's people will see their Saviour face to face!
The Bible does not teach that the mark, the seal, the security, will be removed when we do not measure up to God's will, but it does warn against causing the Spirit sadness and grief.
Every Christian will often have to examine his/her life and heart: How and where do I bring sadness to God's Spirit.
For He is the Holy Spirit, and whatever is unholy, brings grief to God's amazing gift in Christ.
Keith Warren will be preaching this message for both the am and pm services.

Real Jesus
When a woman finds an old cello in an industrial bin, she thinks she could convert it into a CD rack. Later she finds out it is a $3.5 million Stradivarius that has been stolen. She didn't value the cello because she didn't know what it really was. Do we know the real Jesus and give Him the value and honour He deserves?
Colossians 1:15 - 2:15
Preacher: Marty Foord (Video)
Be All You Can Be
How much would you be willing to pay for a piece of fruit? In Japan someone paid more than $6000 for one Densuke watermelon. Grown only on the northern island of Hokkaido, this beautiful dark-green fruit looks like a bowling ball. The fruit's rarity brought an astronomical price on the market. Christians have fruit that is far more precious than the Densuke watermelon. It is the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Each "fruit" is a different aspect of Christlikeness. A rare and delicious fruit may bring a premium price in the marketplace, but Christ-like character is of far greater worth. Becoming like Christ is a life long experience. Therefore we need patience with others and ourselves. All of us will have challenges and disappointments along the way. But if we put our trust in Him, we'll grow spiritually and have character qualities that will radiate new life.
2 Peter 1: 3-11

Reminder for Music/Sound Team: Meeting this Sunday
Hi All,
If you are currently serving on the Music team or on the sound desk then this message is intended for you.
On behalf of Church Council I would like to thank you for your commitment and willingness to be involved with these important Ministries. Church Council has discussed the need to have a Music and Sound Ministry Team meeting.
We have scheduled two meetings for Sunday 19th June after the morning and evening services (You only need to make it to one) at these meetings we will discuss some changes that we have planned for these Ministries. We will also have a time of general discussion where we would value your input as we plan for the future. This meeting will not take long and everyone will receive a list of topics for discussion to keep us focussed.
This is an important meeting and we encourage you to put this date in your diaries.
Looking forward to seeing you all.
Peter Goodridge
Joseph – Favoured Son, Hated Brother.
In this first sermon in a series on the life of OT Joseph, we see how dysfunctional Joseph's family of origin was. Sad and bad events caused unbelievable heartache and hardship to this large family. Yet, their dysfunction didn't thwart God's plans for using this family to fulfil His plan for His people. What do we learn in sermon 1 that's applicable to you and me today? Three things: 1) No family is exempt from troubles: 2) No enemy is more subtle than passivity: 3) No response is more cruel than jealousy.
Please join us tonight for this introductory message into Joseph's life.
Preacher: John Hoogenhout
Jesus is the only Way
In the world there are all sorts of religious practices out there. From animal worship to flagellation, people do many various things in order to appease their so-called deity. This was the same in the Apostles' day, with some groups of Jews insisting on festival and Sabbath keeping in order for forgiveness. While other Gentiles spread the practice of angel worship. But the Apostle Paul in Colossians 2 lays out his argument about why all these other systems are in fact worthless and futile and builds the case that Jesus is truly enough. Come this Sunday morning and find out how he does this.
