“I doubt that anyone becomes a Christian because they lose the argument”
(Phil Cooke)

At the moment as a church we are working out how best to do our seating.
There is a large influx of people at 10.01 am…which makes life difficult when you are trying to get the seating right.

We generally don’t put out all the seats until closer to 10am …so as to encourage people to sit in the seats nearer the front….my breath does not smell…honestly!

But because a significant portion of our church is children (about 45%), when they leave for their kids programs half way through the service, the place can feel a little ‘drafty’!

Maybe this is the answer….a 12 seat chapel a husband built for his wife, because their church is too ‘crowded’.
“Mr Richards, a retired watch importer, said: “I built it for Muriel because she’s really passionate about her religion but the local church is often too busy. “

More…

No expert….just a bit of fun….but it did taste good!

Some might say…there but through the grace of God go I… 🙂

“Wests Tigers fanatic Mark Edwards jumped a fence, sprinted across the pitch and tackled whistleblower Jared Maxwell to the ground after a controversial Brisbane Broncos victory over his side at Campbelltown Stadium on Friday.

Edwards, 25, was later charged with common assault and entering and remaining on a playing field without authority.”

Thanks God!
Great crowd in full of joy and energy today.
A few laughs, some inspiration, and some great music from the biggest worship team we have probably ever had….so blessed in this area at the moment!

Also had a guest musician/singer join us for some items… Martin Jones. You probably dont know him, he aint famous…but the man can sing. He has good reason to sing the blues, been through a lot, but is now at a happy stage in his life. He shared a little this morning, and God inhabited the praises.

I shared what I thought was a challenging message, it challenged me! lots of comments afterwards…

Sometimes you just need to be thankful and reflect that it is gooood to be with Gods people. If you normally come to Inglewood Church and you missed today, you missed out. Today provided energy and joy for the week. Maybe thats why God created the Sabbath!

Freo should have not let this game slip against the Roos.
With a 26 point lead at the first quarter…and a host of good players…we should have won.
However another disgraceful display from the men in orange, did not do our cause much good.
More than once the commentators commented on the patheticness of the frees paid against the Dockers.
The free paid againt Tarrant just before half time was disgraceful.
Sigh….there went any chance we had of making the finals.

This is what I am speaking about this Sunday….
But we have to understand that if we start to use our money and time and gifts for God….there will be pain…there will be a trade off…there will need to be something we let go of.
If I gave you a million dollars under the proviso that you could only use it for kingdom…Gods kingdom purposes…there would be no problem, there it is, use it….
But if I come to you and say…you need to help out in this ministry area…financially…then you need to count the cost…
