A church that honours God through bringing His kingdom to the Sunshine Coast by making disciples through preaching and teaching God’s Word in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 3:21-22 “But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe.”
When Paul wrote the letter to the Romans, he addressed two different people groups: the Gentiles (who were irreligious) and the Jews (who were religious).
The Gentiles believed that they could find life outside of f...
Romans 1:16-17 "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous man shall live by faith."
What is more transformative than the new birth?! When someone receives Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, one of the most amazing miracles takes pl...
Romans 1:5-7 "through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name's sake, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;
to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
When the Apostle Paul wrote to the church of Rome, he hadn't yet been there in person, so his introduction ...
1 Peter 5:5-7 “Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
The way God’s kingdom functions and the world operates are very different...
Ephesians 2:8-10 "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."
The Kingdom of God is different to how this world operates.
This world operates through striving, earning, deserving, self-effort, labour and wages. B...
John 10:10 "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)."
God's will for us is always good! He knows how to make things turn around for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)
Luke 17:20-21 "Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you."
We don't have to wait until we get to heaven to enjoy the blessings and provisions of the Kingdom of God. Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is within us! Praise God!
Heaven is such a wonderful place because we know that God’s will is being there. Pure love, pure peace, pure righteousness, pure holiness, everything that is good and right is done there because God’s will is being accomplished there.
Jesus prayed, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
We are told to pray in like manner. (Matthew 6:10)
Of course, God wants His will to be done on earth. But He needs p...
Romans 8:16-17 "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ..."
Part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to remind us of who we are in Christ.
Many people live their lives under a cloud of guilt and same. They identify with their past and view themselves as a sinner.
But that's not what God says about us, and that's not the mini...
Acts 10:44-46. While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God“
Oh the wonderful Person of the Holy Spirit! The Father knew that we needed divine help to live th...
John 16:7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you."
Jesus said it is to our advantage that He goes back to the Father so that you and I can receive the Holy Spirit. One of the members of the Godhead lives inside us! The Holy Spirit is our divine Helper. He is the Spirit of truth whose job is to show ...
2 Kings 6:17 “Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” And the Lord opened the servant’s eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”
The Kingdom of God is not seen or understood with the natural senses. The Kingdom of God is spiritual and we need light to be able to understand everything that God has given to us and who He has made us to ...
Matthew 13:44: "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."
The Kingdom of God far outweighs anything this world has to offer! In order to experience all that the kingdom has to offer, we need to honour and value the kingdom in our lives.
Daniel 4:34 At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever. His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to generation.
The declaration that king Nebuchadnezzar made about the Most High God is astounding. King Nebuchadnezzar was convinced that Babylon was such a powerful king...
Colossians 1:15-18 “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstbo...
John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.”
God has chosen us to bear fruit for His glory! In order for us to produce fruit that remains, we need to abide in Jesus. Abide in His love and abide in His Word.
John 15:1-4 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the wordwhich I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.”
In this passage of Scrip...
John 8:12, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
This time of year is the celebration of our Lord and Saviour and the wonderful truth that God the Father fulfilled His promise to send His Son, born a virgin. When Jesus came to the earth, the course of mankind forever changed. We were once in darkness, full of sin, separated from our Heavenly Father. Shame, g...
John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
God, the Father, has made it so simple for us to come to Him. His desire for fellowship with us shines through the heart of Jesus. Jesus came to reveal the heart of the Father to us. He demonstrated the Father's heart through His words, His actions, how He healed people, showed mercy, and showed us the truth. In Joh...
John 11:25-26 “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?””
Jesus is the resurrection and the life! He doesn’t just have life, He is life. Anyone who believes in Him shall live. This resurrection power that Jesus talks about is not just referring to eternal life when we get to heaven, it i...
