Remarkable Life Church

Leave a comment
Life Church is a remarkable church. For one thing they give away all their graphics, mini-movies, sermon outlines…the whole lot. Everything they do reeks with creativity, generosity, excellence and kingdom mindedness.

We need churches like this in Australia….I don’t know anyone who does things as well as them…I love their give away mentality, and I love their excellence, and I love their LIFE….

Here is one picture of something they do, just a small feature, which I think is just a small part, which could be boring, but with a twist is creative, flexible and smart….and a link to a whole heap more…one guys visit to one of their campuses.

The words are not printed onto the wall…but projected…..

Philip Yancey

2 Comments

Sold out! Spewing…just goes to show, you should not presume…

Rocked on down to Koorong at 5.15pm to pick up a ticket on the way to see Philip Yancey tonight…..sold out! Cannot believe it……

If anyone went, please post a review with link, or just comment here…I would love to hear the gist of what he said….

Phil is certainly the foremost theologian of our time…he writes in a contemporary manner, plenty of stories…his books on dealing with the unfairness of life are particularly good, “Disapointment with God” were even more impacting and helpful for me than his foremost work, “Whats so amazing about grace”. Disapointment with God deals with serious questions about things which trouble many of us, and does not seek to give cliche answers.
Interestingy enought, Philip was brought up in a strict fundamentalist family. His dad died when Philip was only very young. The church leaders urged his sick father to stop the medical treatment he was undergoing (iron lung), and trust his faith instead. His father died.

He has a new book out, which I imagine was part of the reason for Koorong bringing him out, called, “Prayer, does it make a difference?” You can download the first chapter here.

Beautiful Sunday afternoon

Leave a comment

Great Sunday at church….had coffee mid service…..great! Kicked off my first message on who Jesus is….got a lot of comments after when I spoke about demon possession. Nothing like talking about that topic to get people started….:)

Then headed off to Whiteman Park for a BBQ and kick of the footy….what a beautiful part of the world we live in.

Came home and took my time making a lovely latte….and ate a Cherry Ripe with it…..I love Sundays….
