Heavy Rain 2013

Ordinary people giving ordinary praise to an extraordinary God, and He absolutely loves it when we give Him the praise that He so rightly deserves. We love Him because He first loved us; we weren't even looking for a Saviour, but He still showed up and extended His hand in love!

Wonder where God is? He's right here with you.









Notes from the Friday night service

Speaker: Anthony Maclean



Watch it here








Deep thoughts: if God was here before
the beginning of everything what was He doing? If there is a God, what made
God?








There is nothing in the world that is
self sustaining (or existing), everything that exists relies on something else.
However, there has to be a starting point. There can't be a continuous cycle of
this depending on that depending on this and so on. So what came first, mind or
matter? Mind. The mind created the matter. 








Genesis 1:26-27




Blog post: Seth Godin. No one is
going to pick you. Pick yourself.




Bed rest! Be still, relax, and slow
down. In the stillness you will find life, or at least save it. 




If you always see yourself as sick,
or in pain, all you will be is sick. Unless you see yourself the way God see
you.... Think positive.








Romans 8:5

It's your mind that will make you
spiritual or carnal. What are you putting into your think-box?

Walk by faith, not by sight, but we
don't drive that way. 

We need to fill our mind will
spiritual things rather than carnal things.

We shouldn't turn off our
relationship with God when we watch movies; He's with us always.








James 1:13-15 (NIV)

Jesus set us free, we need to renew
our mind to live our in the freedom He's given us. Our desires are usually on
our minds, and hearts, so if you're envisioning the carnal thing, you'll soon
fall into that temptation. 

(Philippians 4)








Psalm 1:1-3 (NLT)

Blessed is the one who does not walk
in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the
company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who
meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by
streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not
wither— whatever they do prospers. (Psalm 1:1-3 NIV)








Dry seasons never have to happen.
There are different seasons, but being dry won't happen when your roots are
deep within the riverbank, soaking up the water from the river. 






Read the bible till you can take it
with you, not memorizing, let it be life changing. (Pearl in an oyster, the
grain of sand is turned over and over in the clam, and over time it becomes a
pearl). 








Isaiah 55:1-2

Sudoku: why labour for what does not
satisfy?






Ignorance. Knowledge. Wisdom. Understanding.








Movie clip: Inception... In the safe deep down
inside you, God wants to plant a truth that will totally change your reality.
