25.01.2022 Well... we prayed!

25.01.2022 It was great fun!

24.01.2022 We were among the many who prayed, God answered!

24.01.2022 At Sunday Connect yesterday, Christie led us in communion with a reminder that communion has past, present and future significance. In One-Minute Pastor we recalled the exhortation of the writer of Hebrews that we should not cease meeting together because of some kind of discouragement. Indeed, we are encouraged to meet more often as the return of Jesus gets closer and closer. Dougall and Angus provided delicious croissants for our community time. Thank you! Our discussion po...int took up the subject of marriage, a two-part series. We learnt that the longest marriage in modern times was nearly 91 years and that long marriages recognised by the Guinness Book of Records exceed 80 years. We reviewed data on marriage in Australia, discussed Old Testament law concerning divorce and considered the high view of marriage held by Jesus. He recalled that God only permitted divorce under the law when a wife 'displeased' her husband (which implies some kind of behaviour similar to, but not as serious as adultery), that the husband had to give the wife a certificate of divorce (which enabled her to remarry - a protection for women in the culture of the time). He explained that divorce was God's response to the 'hardness of your hearts', in other words, the weakness of human character. We also dispelled three myths: the divorce rate is not 50%, it's more like 30%; marriage is not an outdated institution, most Australians think it is important; the rate of divorce among seriously committed Christians is not the same as it is among the general population, it's much lower. You can listen to the discussion point here. See more

23.01.2022 The second part of the marriage series is now available. This part focuses on the purpose of marriage from a biblical perspective. Ps Rod also presented some real world data to back up the biblical perspective.

22.01.2022 IgnitEd for this week is available now!

22.01.2022 If you missed Sunday Connect, you can listen to the Discussion Point on Soundcloud (click below) or iTunes. Ps Rod shared about a word from God that he has been thinking about for over decade.

22.01.2022 Tomorrow our discussion point will continue on marriage. I can guarantee that you'll be shocked by some of the data I have to share with you and I guarantee that you'll learn something about the biblical basis for marriage that you did not know. I think this series is one of the most important I have ever spoken on and I really do hope you can make it to church. Bring a friend too.

22.01.2022 Last week's discussion point is now available. Ps Rod addressed the very difficult issue of suicide.

22.01.2022 You'll love this camp. Ask Ps Rod for details or register below.

20.01.2022 We have not uploaded a Discussion Point from Sunday Connect for a while now as we have felt led by the Holy Spirit to focus on messages specifically for the people in attendance. We are back to delivering messages that have broader application than just those attending on a Sunday. This Discussion Point explains the 'Three Greats' that guide the corporate life of IgniteLife Church Gold Coast.

16.01.2022 If you are wondering about the concerns held by some people regarding statistical anomalies in the recent United States election, you might find John Anderson's latest interview informative. It runs for over an hour, so you'll need a cup of coffee. https://johnanderson.net.au/victor-davis-hanson-ii/

16.01.2022 We are featuring a One-Minute Pastor spot in Sunday Connect. You can read this in one minute!

16.01.2022 Our women had coffee and dessert last night and heard an amazing testimony of God’s redemptive power from Helen. Thanks to local business Oven Fresh Bakery Ormeau for the scrumptious treats!

15.01.2022 This is truly inspired advice on what Christians should do after an election. It’s well worth reading.

15.01.2022 Here is our latest One-Minute Pastor blog. Really, it won't take more than a minute to read!

14.01.2022 Here is the last of the discussion point series on the rapture. Take heed of the warnings at the end about allowing our focus on end times to take our focus off the need for action in the here and now.

14.01.2022 Last Sunday we were blessed to have Craig O'Sullivan speak at Sunday Connect. His topic was forgiveness. His message was timely. It was both challenging and encouraging. Forgiveness is one of the most powerful 'weapons' the Christian has. Unforgivenss is a death sentence. As Craig reminded us, 'Unforgiveness is like taking poison and hoping the other person will die'. You can listen to Craig's discussion point here or on iTunes.

14.01.2022 This interview is worth reading. There is a beautiful story of love here.

13.01.2022 I'm sure many of us heard prophecies about the outcome of the recent United States elections. I have been watching things closely and it is still possible, but improbable, that the incumbent president will be declared officially as the winner. However, at this time, many are questioning the accuracy of the prophets, especially those who declared that President Trump would win in a landslide. Many of those prophets also prophesied about COVID-19 ending after passover and have ...been proven wrong. The voting system in the United States is much more complex than it is in Australia where we have a robust system managed by the Australian Electoral Commission. In the United States systems differ by state and both governors and the judiciary sometimes make decisions 'on the run' in the lead up to or during an election. Voting is also voluntary. In the United States voter suppression occurs in every election. (Voter suppression occurs when the conditions for voting are made so onerous that voters don't bother voting - e.g. having polling stations located inconveniently, or (in the past) imposing a literacy test). At most elections there are also allegations of errors or outright fraud. There are, indeed, some statistical anomalies in the recent election, especially in the 'swing' states. One such example is large blocks of ballot papers where voters only indicated their preference for President and had not voted for the House or Senate or Governor. This is unusual because most voters usually vote 'down the line' - they vote for their preferred party in all elections on the ballot paper. These anomalies ought to be investigated, but they might have good explanations since the elections were held in an unusual year of pandemic and civil unrest. In other words, there were a lot of anomalies in 2020. I have not read or seen anything much from prophets who are apologising for mistakes. They might have, but just not received coverage by Christian media. Of course, any prophet can make a mistake (1 Corinthians 13:9) and there is no shame in that.(Although I didn't share this with anyone, I felt that God had shown me that the LNP would win the recent Queensland state election by 13 seats. I was just plain wrong!) I would be saddened if people felt discouraged or let down by the prophets. And I would be saddened if any of them became so discouraged that they abandoned their faith. I don't think God intends that we allow or mistakes or what is happening in the world to discourage or depress us. Years ago, a good friend of mine, Justin Lippiatt, made a simple but wise statement: Praise your way to victory. I've never forgotten that advice. Let's focus on God, let's praise Him, knowing that the ultimate victory is His (and ours, through Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord). The article below addresses the issue of error by prophets and I recommend it to you. Ps Rod

13.01.2022 Hi everyone. I connected with my good friend in the business world, Wes Leake, from Business Blessings, to talk about the Federal Budget. You can access our conversation here. https://www.facebook.com/669771628/videos/10157532135006629/

13.01.2022 '... (It) is permitted to leave an electric appliance running during the Sabbath and to use a timer to automatically turn an appliance on or off, as long as the timer is set before the Sabbath.' (From the JPS Guide to Jewish Traditions, published on myjewishlearning.com.) Is the Sabbath a command to which we are bound or a promise to which we are invited? Join us for Sunday Connect tomorrow at 9:30 when our discussion point will focus on the Sabbath.

13.01.2022 At Sunday Connect yesterday, Dougall led our discussion point. His take-home message was that love motivates us as Christians. He illustrated some of the ways in which Christian love can impact the world around us. You can listen here or find the podcast on iTunes.

12.01.2022 Last Sunday's discussion point focused on the power of our words. When Jesus declared that nobody would ever eat the fruit of the fig tree again, its roots immediately withered and it died. When the disciples asked Him about the incident, Jesus assured them that words backed by faith could even move mountains. You can listen to the discussion point here or look for it on iTunes.

11.01.2022 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. (Matthew 6:26a) In this case my parents are God’s agents, providing a wheat meal biscuit morning and evening.

11.01.2022 Here’s an idea for a family outing.

10.01.2022 Hi everyone, just letting you know that the audio of today's discussion point is now available by clicking below or searching iTunes. Thank you to all those who were able to join us today. If you missed Sunday Connect, have listen to this. If you did join us, listen again!

09.01.2022 Do be sure to come along to Connect this Sunday. We have a very special guest, one who has travelled to many parts of the world and entertained thousands, who has written and produced variety shows, who performed in Jesus Christ Superstar and The Rocky Horror Show, and who has worked in the West End (London). A star was born when he was contracted to Young Talent Time nearly 50 years ago and a star was born again when he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. Bring a friend and be inspired by a story of show biz success, marred by mental illness, and a life in the process of restoration by a loving, forgiving God. Our guest just might sing for us too!

08.01.2022 Worth reading. You'll be encouraged. Thanks, Barbara, for alerting us to it.

08.01.2022 I think Bishop Mattera has a point here. His characterisation of entertainers could easily apply to politicians.
