Christmas is traditionally a time for us to come together and to celebrate the warmth and security of God-given family relationships.

The Example of Philip the Evangelist
This morning's lesson looked at Acts 8:26-40 and the example of the evangelist Philip, called by the Holy Spirit to minister to a nobleman travelling along the desert road which lead from Jerusalem down to the Philistine city of Gaza. The eunuch held the distinguished position of Treasurer in the g…

This morning's message came from the apostle Paul's letter to the Galatian church, Galatians 5:22-23:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, against such there is no law."
- Love – The ability to overlook the sins and f…
Salt Cleanses
In this morning's lesson we looked at the Bible's teaching on salt and on how it preserves, how it flavours, how it cleanses, and how it creates thirst.
If we are to be "the salt of the earth", our teaching must also act like salt.
Firstly, it must preserve the integrity, the purpose and th…
Singing Files
Singing has always been one of the key activities of the Lord's church. From the days of the apostles, Christians have sung psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to teach one another and to praise God. Acts 16:25, 1 Corinthians 14:15 & 26, Ephesians 5:19-20, Colossians 3:16, James 5:13, for example.
Merging of Websites
Jesus of Nazareth was one of the most interesting characters ever to walk the earth. He was a God-fearing man who lived and taught under the Law of Moses, including the Ten Commandments and all the laws and regulations bound on the Jewish people.
In 2017 we will be looking more closely at the li…

Coming Soon
In the next few weeks we will be starting a new work on the northern side of Brisbane. No man-made doctrines, no un-Scriptural titles for leaders... just a simple copy of the New Testament church. Back soon...
