Chile Earthquake

Monday, March 8th, 2010

The impact of the Chile Earthquake could hit the whole world.  Scientists have reported that the tremor was big enough to change the very axis of the earth in its orbit.  This could actually change “time”.

Now and the Not Yet

Monday, March 1st, 2010

As the old entrance way to the Moombara Street site gives way to the new entrance, many of us will experience some discomfort and annoyance over the next three weeks. We may be able to imagine how well the new entrance will work but the present reality is uncertainty and frustration.
It provides a visual illustration [...]

Engaging at Easter

Friday, February 19th, 2010

As we continue to connect more and more with our community, the next few months give us great opportunities.
1.  Please make time each week to build a relationship with your neighbours and friends which is intentionally aimed at them coming to know Jesus.

Under Construction

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Over the last few weeks we have been challenged by the teachings of Jesus to live radically transformed lives.  His message is “Repent for the kingdom of heaven  is near”.  This rule of Jesus is to be seen in our actions and our words.  It is like we are under construction!

There is nothing subtle about a train wreck

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

For seven and a half years I’ve lived on Bong Bong Road.  Rarely has a day gone past that did not involve me waiting at the railway crossing.  My impatience is such that I would like to cut crossing over much closer to the actual train and wait for less minutes.  This is partly because [...]

Running on empty

Friday, January 8th, 2010

There are more TV channels than ever before, home theatre systems, instant communication available to anyone in the world, mobile phones with access to the internet and cars in every driveway and yet “boredom” has become a part of everyday life. Psychiatrists throughout the developed world are reporting that their patients most common symptoms are boredom [...]

Beyond Belief

Monday, January 4th, 2010

A recent survey published in the Sydney Morning Herald reported that 68% of all Australians believe in God.  Yet this “belief” is more about our life values than devotion.  It’s belief without belonging.
You don’t get people to believe by talking about faith.  In a similar way, if you want your child to make friends with [...]
