As Christians, we believe God’s wisdom supposes and necessitates that He has a settled purpose and plan, in the work of salvation. What would creation have been without His design? Is there a fish in the sea, or a bird in the air, which was left to chance for its formation? Surely not! In every bone, joint, and muscle, sinew, gland, and blood-vessel, you can mark the presence of a God working everything according to the design of infinite wisdom.

And shall God be present in creation, ruling over all, and not in grace? With God’s intervention bringing the grace of salvation to His people, there comes about the new creation, and there’s nothing that can stop it.

Understand this; not a sparrow falls to the ground without the Father’s council. Even the hairs of your head are all numbered. He knows the end from the beginning. He beholds in their ordained position, each of the chosen stones taken out of the quarry of nature, and polished by His grace. He sees the whole from corner to cornice, from base to roof, from foundation to pinnacle. He has in His mind, a clear knowledge of every stone which shall be laid in its prepared space, and how vast the edifice shall be.

At the last it shall be clearly seen that in every chosen vessel of mercy, Jehovah did as He willed, with His own; and that in every part of the work of grace, He accomplished His purpose, and glorified His own name.

Tell me, have you entered into a secure salvation, which God has provided through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ? Have you become a new creature in Christ, with a change that brings about a love for God, and a desire to be obedient to His commandments?

What an ecouragement for the Christian! They tell us that prayer is a pious exercise which has no influence except upon the mind engaged in it. We know better. Our experience gives the lie a thousand times over to this infidel assertion. Here Almighty God, distinctly promises to answer the prayer of His servant. Let us call upon Him and have no doubt that He will hear us, and answer us. He that made the ear, shall He not hear? He that gave parents a love to their children, will He not listen to the cries of His own sons and daughters?

God will answer His pleading people. What they have never seen, heard of, or dreamed of, He will do for them. He will bring about every required blessing, and more. He will ransack sea and land to feed them: He will send every angel out of heaven to succor them if their distress requires it. He will astound us with His grace and make us feel that it was never before done in this fashion. All He asks of us is that we will call upon Him. He cannot ask less of us.

Are you praying the way you ought? Do you really desire all of God’s blessings for you, or are you content with lesser things?

Our brother Lloyd Glover will lead the 11am service in our pastors absence.

You will be made most welcome at both services!

“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.” 1 John 3:1-3

Please join us for either or both services, you will be most welcome.

Would you like to learn more about this controversial subject? Then please join us in our morning worship service. You will be made most welcome!

God willing, I will also be present for the 6pm service.

If you are interested in learning more about this man of God, and how he got through a life full of hardship and trials then please come along.

Maybe you think life is tough on you? Come and learn how Joseph managed to never grumble, even in the most unpleasant situations.

It’s not a popular subject, but the Bible has much to tell us about this coming spiritual and political world leader and we would do well to think upon what the Bible warns us about.

The 11am service will be conducted by one of our members while I take the meetings at Lock (11am) and Elliston (3pm).

Just as the sun rises in the east and gradually mounts up into the meridian sky, dispersing with every ray light, warmth, and gladness; so this blessed Lord Jesus, as the Sun of righteousness, is ever dispersing the beams of his grace and the rays of his favor; and whenever those beams come, and those rays fall, there is light and life, and everything to make the soul holy and happy.

Now a man would act very foolishly if, wishing to have light in his room when the sun was shining at noonday, he should shut all the shutters, and strike a match to give him a little light for a few moments. Let us not then be so foolish as to look for happiness or comfort in our own performances when the glorious Sun of righteousness is at the right hand of God, and shining thence upon believing hearts. But when the veil is over the heart, it is like shutters in a room–there is no light to show who, what, or where Jesus is. And then need we wonder that men strike a light and make a fire, that they may “walk…in the sparks that ye have kindled.” But what is God’s word against all such? “This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.” (Isaiah 50:11).

“Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.”–2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17

When the Lord is pleased to apply a promise, drop in a word of encouragement, speak home an invitation with power, he administers consolation thereby. It comforts the drooping heart; it speaks peace to a guilty conscience. And this consolation is “everlasting consolation;” for it flows from nothing less than such a source, that is, the eternal love of God; and flows onward to an everlasting ocean of infinite delight. Any intimation of a saving interest in the everlasting love of God is a blessing beyond all price; for the Lord never gives any such intimation but as a certain pledge and foretaste of immortal bliss. He can neither disappoint nor deceive. Once blest, blest forever.

We may indeed for a long time together cease to enjoy the comfort, and even may fall into the greatest depths of darkness and confusion, so as to lose sight of almost all our evidences; but the foundation of God stands sure–”The Lord knows those who are his.” The river of eternal love may seem to flow by and not reach our breast, so high are the banks and hidden out of sight the stream. Still if ever it has watered our soul, it will be one day “waters to swim in” of eternal delight.

There will be at least eight or more adults in attendance to supervise the camp. During the weekend there will be a wide range of activities, including a wombat hunt, BBQ, and treasure hunt for the children to take part in.

There will also be times of Bible study conducted by our pastor, Armen Thomassian.

The camp commences at 5pm on Thursday 19th April and concludes on Sunday afternoon the 22nd of April. Parents are invited to attend the Family Church Service at 11am on the Sunday, which will be followed by a BBQ.
