22-01-2012 - "Ephesians Ch 1 Hope when Church seems like a drag"
Ian Cullen explores what Church means. To some it is just a drag. A place with rules and prohibitions. To some it is a place of unreality and insignificance. Political infighting, people sueing one another, immorality and so on. The Apostle Paul wrote to people in Corinth and Ephesus who were having all sorts of problems with bad choices and he gives them... and us... real hope for something much better. Ian Cullen takes the message from Scripture that the Church is people doing good things together and Ian continues with the theme of hope, looking at what the Apostle Paul has to offer us from his letter to the Ephesians.

15-01-2012 - "Real Hope when there is nothing else"
Ever wondered why a good God would allow bad things to happen to His children? Isn't it really self evident that God is not in control because of the evil things going on in the world? Or could something dangerous be happening because people have real power and free will? Ian Cullen continues with the theme of hope, expounding the Apostle Paul's statement in Romans Ch 5 verses 1-5.

20-11-2011 - "You are irreplaceable"

25-09-2011 - "What would Jesus do"
Bert Winning makes the case that people have no problems with the ministry of Jesus , such as His healings, kindness, compassion and care for the downtrodden. However, people have much less time for His followers and Australians have more problems in general with rules and regulations than the average planet dweller. However, Australians do care about the underdog winning and want to see everyone get a "fair go". Bert encourages us to "mind the gap" and creatively find ways to bridge the gap between "What Jesus would do" and "what we actually do"

18-09-2011 - "Practically Holy"
Mark Twain once said that "It is not the things I don't understand in the Bible that bother me. It is the things that I do understand" Phil examines the scriptures concerning sinless perfection and the transformed human heart. Are we wretched sinners or holy saints (it sometimes feels like we are wretched saints and sometimes looks like holy sinners from an outsiders perspective). There is a short exerpt of an interview with Leonard Ravenhill who was a "Holiness Movement" preacher. What does God's word have to say about Holiness? Is there anyway to avoid the challenge of the Cross as outlined by Leonard (click on this link to listen to Leonard's full message) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-408382027340287084
