Blessings Reel – April 2012

It’s amazing to think that a third of the year has just flown by. And not just any year, but the Year of Unceasing Fruitfulness. I like the idea of fruitfulness, because it has got nothing to do with what you do and what you can achieve; rather it has to do with where you […]

Authenticity Attracts

Here is another brilliant thought from Pastor Benny Ho’s sermon yesterday at Faith Community Church: Authentic people attract. Weird people distract. And he was talking about the church! I think we’ve all seen our fair share of weird Christians. I certainly have, especially because in most of my early years growing up in the church, […]

The Church in Visible Unity

Blessings Reel – January 2012

During the first sermon for 2012, Joseph Prince shared on “Unceasing Fruitfulness” and one of the things he mentioned was […]

One Thing is Needful

As some of you may know, we’ve been spending a few months now visiting different churches throughout Perth.
