Psalm 74:16-17 Both day and night belong to you; you made the starlight and the sun. You set the boundaries of the earth, and you made both summer and winter. Yes you did read the title correctly. We believe that every day belongs to God and that we as Christians are free in Christ […]
On Sundays at the moment Scott is teaching through the book of Ecclesiastes. This is an often overlooked book, perhaps in part because it is deeply philosophical and easily misconstrued as dark and depressing. Solomon is infact deconstucting all the foolish ways that humans think about meaning, value and purpose. Ultimately true meaning in life […]
We have recently been focusing on the theme of evangelism, including holding out yearly family outreach event which had a Hawaiian theme this year! God has really been impacting upon us the importance of each and every Christian taking seriously this vital aspect of Christian life. Roman 10:13-17 13 For “Everyone who calls on the […]
Here’s the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your earthly possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home. If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with […]

As a church in times like these it […]

As a church we have just entered a season of prayer and fasting and would encourage you to do the same. The Bible makes it clear that fasting is not an option but a Christian discipline that we should pursue. This past Sunday, on the eve of starting our fast we read from James 1:2 […]
As the latch key kids crawl up poverty hill With curmudgeons and crones blindly wishing them well Move over tired politics, its time for the youth Your ways aren’t working and we’re seeing the proof You’re utilitarian education system Fails for a lack of compassion and wisdom It’s time to be different and it’s time […]
