Warming God's Heart

http://www.singlespoon.org.au/sermons/warming-god-s-heart

To Support, Network, Grow and Disciple people in ministry. Before I begin, I have a few notices that got missed:. Insert quote from Adrian Plass "Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass, Christian Speaker Aged 45 3/4" p77-79). I want to talk about reality and make believe. Quote from Adrian Plass funny - why? It parodies what see in church all the time. Just enough truth to hit home and point out our true opinion of church and ourselves. And why do we do these silly things?

Mission

http://www.singlespoon.org.au/mission

To Support, Network, Grow and Disciple people in ministry. Call to Worship (Mission). One way of making a judgement of appropriate resourcing is to convert the resources invested to a dollar amount. We can then judge whether that activity is as valuable as the resource investment. How do we cost the weekly investment in worship? Is this a true costing of worship? 48,000 x 2.5 = $120,000. 120,000 / 52 = $2307 per week. 2307 x 1.5 / 6 = $577 (1.5 days per 6 day week on worship). The actual investment would...

It was the final thing that Jesus entrusted to the fledgling church. Are we carrying out the great commission today? In 1996 almost 70% of the Christian chur...

Pentecost

http://singlespoon.org.au/sermons/pentecost

To Support, Network, Grow and Disciple people in ministry. The Spirit of Discipleship. This sermon was written for Pentecost sunday based on the first two chapters of Acts.

Labyrinth

http://singlespoon.org.au/spirituality/labyrinth

To Support, Network, Grow and Disciple people in ministry. I walked the labyrinth at Tamworth. Now on the Veriditas Page. After working through a lot of teasing by my family, I arranged to spend the day with my wife and my youngest son in Tamworth, one part of which was to be my labyrinth walk. As I walked into the labyrinth, I began in to pick up the things in my past ministry that may hold me back from this new ministry and handed them over to God. I consciously let go of of past achievements and p...

Psalm 130

http://singlespoon.org.au/sermons/psalm-130

To Support, Network, Grow and Disciple people in ministry. Thoughts on Psalm 130. He didn't mean to do it. He was important after all. Why shouldn't' he take some time out. A bit of rest, a bit of quiet. After all they didn't need him. Nowadays all they let him do was enjoy the successes. Out of the depths I have cried to you, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice. A few weeks later he got the message. They were hard weeks, fluctuating between guilt and desire. Weeks of praying to a heaven as hard as brass...He ac...
