25.01.2022 Singing this today during the gathering was such a treat...

25.01.2022 The central part of this coming Sunday's passage (Ephesians 4:20-24) - "But that’s not how you learned the king! if indeed you did hear about him, and were taught in him, in accordance with the truth about Jesus himself. That teaching stressed that you should take off your former lifestyle, the old humanity. That way of life is decaying, as a result of deceitful lusts. Instead, you must be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and you must put on the new humanity, which is being created the way God intended it, displaying justice and genuine holiness." (NTE).

25.01.2022 It was so good hearing from Mike Lochore today about his next steps in ministry. Here's a link with some more details, and please don't forget the 2pm tea this arvo (RSVP to Matt or Lynette if you're going).

24.01.2022 Here's this morning's audio recording on Ephesians 1:15-23 - "Pray for the Spirit."

16.01.2022 Another blog post up: "Tribal Angst."

15.01.2022 After several hours of research, I just bought this for the Ephesians series - only 3 bucks on Kindle, but looks seriously good. Putting this here as you may also want to grab it and read along as we go.

15.01.2022 New blog post up: "What's Your Shibboleth."

14.01.2022 Francis of Assisi holds a special place in my life. Here's a fascinating talk on him fo those who may be interested. Blessings, Ps. Craig.

14.01.2022 We'll be in Ephesians 1:15-23 this coming Sunday - "Learning How To Pray with Paul"... Here's the passage from the NRSV: 15 I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. 17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, 18 so that, with the eyes of your hear...t enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power. 20 God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. 22 And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

13.01.2022 Remember who you are in Christ... Evil will tell us that life is meaningless. Christ tells us that we have purpose.... Evil will tell us we are nobodies. Christ tells us that we are God’s children. Evil will tell us that we are condemned slaves. Christ tells us that we are forgiven and free. Evil will tell us that we are ignorant of the purposes of God in creation. Christ tells us that we are in the know: we know what God is about God is about gathering all things up in Christ. Evil will tell us that we have nothing to look forward to. Christ tells us that we will inherit the earth. Evil will tell us we are alone and deluded. Christ tells us we are signed, sealed, and in delivery. Amen? Amen.

13.01.2022 Here's the audio of this morning's message on Ephesians 1:3-14 titled, "Count Your Blessings."

08.01.2022 Here's this coming Sunday morning's message in a nutshell: Pray that God gives you more of His Spirit. Everything else that's necessary will flow from that one request... (There's lots more to say, so please come join us on Sunday).

06.01.2022 So I’m term 4 we’ll be in Ephesians on Sunday mornings and we’ll be in Philippians at our fortnightly joint Connect Group. Here’s a great short talk on Philippians 3 to warm you up, and after singing Knowing You last Sunday it’s extra special.

06.01.2022 "What is Prayer?" - https://www.margaretriverbaptist.org.au/what-is-prayer/ FYI: these blog posts are the "in-process" personal musings of the current pastor of MRBC.

05.01.2022 Today's message - Body Building 101.

05.01.2022 We are in Ephesians 1:3-14 this week. Here's the text from the NRSV. It's one sentence in the Greek! Now I must try and explain this in 20 minutes?! 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. 5 He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, accordin...g to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight 9 he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, 12 so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; 14 this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s own people, to the praise of his glory.

01.01.2022 We didn’t sing this today, but it beautifully expresses Ephesians 1:3-24.
