Safari ‘09 – aliens and strangers

G’day all. Well Safari ‘09 is officially over and everyone came home with the same number of limbs as they left with, which was pleasing. Although it was a big  week, we had a good time and it was great to see the youth wrestling with God’s word.

Getting Ready For Jesus

It’s occurred to me recently, what with our attempts to get the Essential Jesus into every house in Lismore, that it might be good for me to read it myself!  Suzie & I are now up to chapter 5 (reading it together). I wonder if you’ll join us in an “essential Jesus challenge” between [...]

Essential Distribution…

I have been so encouraged this week to hear how small groups are planning to attack the challenge of distributing Luke’s gospel “the Essential Jesus” to every household in Lismore.
Although it would be ideal for the distribution to take place from Monday 13 July through to Friday 31 July we understand this may not be [...]

SCPC Podcast: Got Questions Talk 10, I’m Happy and Content, Why Do I Need God?

Steve Cree spoke to us from Luke 12:13-21. At the heart of the universe is not “I-ness” but “other-ness”– we were created in God’s image to be other-focused, as God is within himself: loving God and loving our neighbour. But you can’t do one without the other – without God we are ultimately loveless: the [...]
