Delivered by Pas Brad Smith 13/09/26. Adam and Eve were created separately, in a fully prepared garden in Eden by God. In the garden were a variety of fruit producing trees and bushes for their natural food needs. However, there were two specific trees in the same garden that offered specialised food for their spirit or soul alone. The Tree of Life offered an ongoing relationship with God. The other tree was the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil... God had clearly warned that eating this fruit would lead to inescapable spiritual and physical death.

Delivered by Pas Brad Smith 06/09/26. Some people are very astute and are fully aware of their position in life and the threats and benefits that surround them. Some are not quite switched on and seem oblivious to everything that may harm or threaten them. The last words a person utters can often reflect the wisdom of their life and purposes... or the lack of it. We would all like to think that we have learnt enough in the Lord to have a good grasp of the things that would be wise to know and live by. The Lord has asked us to live every day as if it is our last... it is hoped that what we would do and say might reflect that wisdom; seeing the Lord's return is getting closer. Scriptural References.

Delivered by Pastor Arthur Marshman 06/09/26 The Word of God is a thing. In the parable of the sower and the seed, the seed is called the Word of God. The Gospel itself is also referred to as the Word of God and like the seed it is our job to spread the word. The Word of God spoken created the universe. Jesus himself became the physical embodiment of the word of God. When he returned to heaven he sent the Holy Spirit to be the Word of God written in our hearts. Even if the heaven and earth pass away God's word will remain and if we abide in it we will remain too. Scriptural References.

Delivered by Pas Brad Smith 30/08/26. There are only two destinations that people will finally arrive at after death. One is heaven and the other is the lake of fire... not hell! This is the most common misunderstanding taken from the bible. The lake that burns with fire doesn't make its first appearance in the bible until the book of Revelation (4,000 years after Adam). Chronologically it occurs at the end of the Millennium after the judgement... 7,000 years from Adam... one chronological week (1,000 years are as a day. 2Pet 3:8. The lake is an obvious metaphor, as is most of the book of Revelation, but is based on a factual spiritual principle. The lake of fire is described as a spiritual 'incinerator', where all things unclean, are finally destroyed so that the only things remaining is spiritual purity... so God can be all in all.1Cor 15:26.

Delivered by Chris Tankey 23/08/26 When people or organisations make stuff, they aim to make it fit for purpose - it will do what the maker says and what the customer expects. To do this they set standards and specifications that they measure against. They use "enablers" - software, tools, people, to make the product right - fit for purpose. God made us to be fit for purpose souls, but we wander away. He checks/measures us and corrects us. His Holy Spirit is the 'enabler' that will help, guide, teach, correct us to make us fit for Gods purpose.

Delivered by Pas Brad Smith 09/08/26. There is one single event in the gospels where a window opens that links the past, the present and the future together, in the greatest spiritual revelation in the bible. God links purposes and principles together in the most remarkable way. Such a huge event is not there by accident... it is written for us to think and learn from. Scriptural References.

Delivered by Pas Brad Smith 12/07/26. The Bible uses 'water' and 'cleansing' as metaphors to explain how God removes our sins (physical actions that explain spiritual truths). This is an essential process if spiritual life is to be achieved. Repentance is a lifetime commitment to learning how to choose spiritual principles, and how to recover from errors and bad choices... very similar to an ongoing marriage vow. The first step is to water baptism... an act of repentance and defined as such in 4 separate scriptures. God then responds with his baptism of purification. Scriptural References.

Delivered by Pas Brad Smith 14/06/26 Darkness is nothing more than the absence of light... thus darkness is nothingness. Moths are drawn to artificial light that disorient them and they lose their natural ability to be guided by the moon or starlight...most die prematurely. Humans don't do much better; they are also drawn to artificial 'lights' that end up leaving them unhappy and broken... then they die. Walking in darkness is naturally frightening. This is where we come in as Christians. Scriptural References. Joh 8:12, Luk 1:76-79, Mal 4:1-3, Psa 84:11, Joh 8:12, Act 2:37-39, Pro 4:18-19, Joh 14:26, Psa 103:10-13, 1Joh 1:3-10, 1Joh 2:1.

Delivered by Pas Brad Smith 31/05/26. This topic will reveal the true extent by which God is willing to work with us and work through us. We will also confirm the vital facts that relate to the significance of the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We are the real people of God and we have a true hope based on an effective gospel. God has lovingly revealed the extent of this reality more clearly than we might realise. Scriptural References.
