On the 6th September 2020 Pas Brad Smith gave a talk titled Turning Failure Into Great Comfort. The notes are available from the resources tab of our website. This talk is a more detailed summary of the benefits gained by David for the Spiritfilled saints of this time.

The differences between King Saul and King David can teach us a lot about ourselves. Having good intentions and actually performing them require different approaches. Thus, the salvation and overcoming message in the bible, teaches us how to make better spiritual choices, because it shows us how to think, then how to act.

A presentation on how the King James Bible came about, and why a slew of "new" bibles are contrary to Gods Word.

The scriptures instruct us that we should know and understand God. Whilst there are many aspects of God's nature that are made clear in the Word, this talk focuses on righteousness, justice and steadfast merciful love. These attributes are described together a number of times in the Old Testament, and correlate with many instructions in the New Testament. There are significant implications for us here and now, whether or not we are already Spirit filled.

Many people get confused over the method and principles by which God saves his people from their human shortcomings and sins. We are not subject to a balance sheet of good verses evil every week to see if we are passing or failing. Just as our clothing covers our nakedness, the indwelling Holy Spirit, covers our spiritual on an ongoing manner. Thus, Jesus not only protects us from the powers of sin and temptation, but from the penalty of such weakness... every minute of the day.

The world is on the brink of a disaster that will eliminate almost all forms of human and animal life. This is the second time that the bible has recorded such far reaching disasters... the first time was the great flood and the next and soon to come calamity relates to the fiery death for almost all forms of life. God had Noah build an ark to save those who believed the prophecy of the coming flood and Jesus Christ is building another ark... called the church; which will also deliver those who prepare for the coming fire. Both destructive judgements are the result of human rebellion against the principles of God.

Our memory is a very unreliable keeper of the truth. Due to a variety of reasons we forget things... we forget facts and truths. When something is forgotten, then those memories are unable to be shared with others and that particular truth can be lost forever. Mankind has consistently forgotten the things that God has done for them; hence many are unaware of His promises. Just as the passing of time assists us to forget historical facts (allowing it to be rewritten); so to has mans potential relationship with God been distorted. God keeps us in touch with the truth through the continuous working of the Holy Spirit; always prompting us to offer the truth of Eternal Life to others. God's memory doesn't dim or change with the passing of time. Now that we are filled with His Spirit, we should never forget who we are, or what we stand for.

This talk is part 2 of a series, part 1 being titled Chasing The Wrong Dream (18th October 2020). It is suggested that you listen to that talk first. This talk was delivered in Brisbane on 1st November 2020. It is further noted that Pastor Brad also delivered this talk to the Fresno Fellowship on 29th October 2020. There are slight differences in the talks. Jesus worked miracles amongst the needy and the sick, fed the hungry and offered salvation to the sinners and the lost. How did those who were supposed to serve the same people react? The priests had him tortured and murdered on false charges, not caring one bit for the pain and suffering He was solving. The priesthood was corrupt and spiritually sick: that is why God brought it to an end and a new way was born.

The whole world is losing its way very quickly. The people of the nations are struggling to find significance in their beliefs, their values and their reason for existing. The continuous undermining of God given ethics and human respect, is now turning everything on its head.

Noahs Ark, A story that is still relevant today. The Bible says the last days will be like Noahs. Consequently, like Noah, we must live a righteous life and follow God's instructions if we wish to be saved.

The book of Malachi represents the last word of God to the nation of Israel for about 400 years.

The first thing that we need to observe is that God chose tongues as a sign and also designed their spiritual usage. God has given us plenty of details and directions, to work out everything we need to know about tongues. Good doctrine needs to be established by the sound use of scripture... not by feelings or personal beliefs.

Each of us lives our lives according to our values. It can be that the way we behave is not in accordance with the values we think we have. God is specific about what our values should be as born again Christians. It starts with our love of God and our love for our neighbour.

Anxiety - We Need to trust; We do not need to fear. Whilst the Bible does not use the word anxiety, it does have a lot to say about fear. Generally this sits in one of two categories, a reverential fear (respect) (by analogy to be in awe of), or alarm or fright (terror). This talk covers some references of types of fear or anxiety that we may feel, discusses patience as the process to remove anxiety (or fear), cross references scriptures that tell us not to do things in our own strength and works, through a couple of psalms of David to help paint mental picture that God has all things in hand. He is our refuge and we have nothing to fear.

Sadly, most people don't care about evidence; all they want is someone to agree with their world view. Believing in God is not the same as obeying God... sticking to beliefs that are doctrinally weak, or denying scriptural signs, will fail those seeking eternal life. God has always offered scriptural support and backed it up with evidence. The choices we make in faith, determine the opportunities God can work with.
