REACHING OTHERS: GOD’S BOTTOM LINE	Pastor Phil continues the series on 'others'. " I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in OTHER towns, too, because that is why I was sent” Luke 4: 41 NLT; ... "God's bottom line for every Church in every generation is..." for us to be a sheep. Matthew 25:31-46	27/06/2010	Phil Johnston	2010-06-27AM.mp3	Others 2.pdf
REACHING OTHERS: GOD 1st, OTHERS 2nd, ME…?	Based on Luke 4: 14 – 44, Pastor Phil commences a new series on how we would be blessed if we seek to bless others first. He explains how “Nazareth is spelt, RISK Capernaum is spelt SAFE”. Nobody should seek his own good but the good of OTHERS. 1 Cor 10:24	20/06/2010	Phil Johnston	2010-06-20AM.mp3	OTHERS 1- for printing.pdf
Invitation from Isaiah 55	Pastor Paul Arthur speaks about the invitation from God in Isaiah 55. "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness."	13/06/2010	Paul Arthur	2010-06-13AM.mp3	No attached Notes
Treasures of Grace: Prison busting grace	In the final teaching, on Treasures of Grace, Pastor Phil illustrates, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" John 8:36, but the question is - "are we really free?" Pastor Phil assures us, Paul prayed.... ‘May God himself, the God who makes everything holy & whole make you holy & whole, put you together – spirit, soul, body - & keep you fit for the coming of the Master, Jesus. The One who calls you is completely dependable. If he said it – He will do it!’ 1 Thess 5:23-24 TM	30/05/2010	Phil Johnston	2010-05-30AM.mp3	Treasures of Grace 4.pdf
Treasures of grace: Grace to be myself!	As Pastor Phil continues ..., Grace is not only vertical in its expression but horizontal and Paul who owes everything to grace encourages that we show grace to one another; Pastor Phil expounds divisive issues that litter church history, from wearing hats & make up to the singing of hymns versus choruses! Concentrating on Romans 14, Pastor Phil teaches us that what haunts the church in every generation is not a lack of hats or hymnbooks but a lack of grace and love! Will we be the generation to show the maturity required for unity? More on notes... (No audio)	23/05/2010	Phil Johnston		Treasures of Grace 3.pdf
Treasures of Grace: Receiving & dispensing grace	In part 2 of Treasures of grace, we learn that, ‘What’s straightened you out isn’t down to you. There’s nothing you‘ve done that’s sorted your life. No, it’s all God’s generosity that’s done it; you’ve just taken him at his word and even your ability to do that comes direct and free of charge from him’ Eph 2:8 SB	16/05/2010	Phil Johnston	2010-05-16AM.mp3	Treasures of Grace 2.pdf
Treasures of grace: Lost and Found Grace	Pastor Phil starts a new series on TREASURES OF GRACE . In part 1 we learn about 'Lost and found grace'. Based on Luke 15 we are taught about God's perspective on grace, "Heaven parties when one returns, the party is for those who returns... elder brother syndrome means you miss the party." For the law was given through Moses but grace & truth came through Jesus Christ. John 1:17NIV	09/05/2010	Phil Johnston	2010-05-09AM.mp3	Treasures of Grace 1.pdf
5 More Building Blocks to Real Connections	Pastor Phil continues his teachings on Koinonia, he asks the question, ‘If we have the unity of Acts will we have the power of Acts???' In conclusion, we learn it is important to “Let there be real harmony so there won't be divisions in the church, be of one mind united in thought and purpose.” 1 Cor 1:10	02/05/2010	Phil Johnston	2010-05-02AM.mp3	Connections 2.pdf
