My wife, Chris and I, with the kids and some good friends came to Sydney from New Zealand in 1980 to start a church. We had 13 people at our first service but the congregation grew rapidly and we moved buildings, bought land and built a school. We began planting churches around Sydney, then Australia, then the world; we now have close to 300 congregations in our movement. Our 2020 Vision is to plant and grow 1000 churches and we’re on target to meet this! We’ve started C3 College for Ministry, Creative Arts and Counselling, as well as a television program and Oxford Falls Grammar School, all on around 25 acres at Oxford Falls. I’ve always been passionate about the arts playing a major role in church to make her contemporary and relevant to the current world. Our Creative Arts stream has developed and graduated thousands of musicians, worship leaders, song writers, graphic artists, dancers, actors and film makers. I myself paint and exhibit around the world. I also love to write, so I’ve mixed these two elements together in books like Inspired to Pray, But God and 24 Hours That Saved The World – The Gospel of John in Art. My other books include Faith, Moving in the Spirit, Leadership Excellence, Financial Excellence, Leadership Files and You the Leader. My great love is the local church. I believe she is the hope of our world today. When she functions in the power of the Holy Spirit and lives on the Word she will thrive. See you in Church!

RIGHTEOUSNESS

Jer 23:6 His perfect life is imputed to us for righteousness

We must realise that Jesus did not live, die, or even rise from the dead for Himself. He did it all for us. We are counted as righteous as Jesus was, because His life has been freely imputed to our account.

This is one of the most awesome facts of our salvation. Jesus lived a perfect life. Scripture describes His life as ‘without spot…

THE BROKEN SPIRIT

There are two types of ‘broken’ spirit. There is a brokenness of spirit which is positive and encouraged by Scripture;

Ps 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart; These, O God, You will not despise.

This psalm refers to the heart that is broken to God. It is speaking of a person who yielded to the will of God and soft in heart, so that their purpose is no…

Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Who would ever have conceived such an incredible notion that doing away with the Old Way meant that now everyone could have equal access into the holiest by the shed blood and through the broken body of Jesus. The writer is so bold in breaking down the holy exclusivity of the access to God…

DEAD FOR NOTHING?

2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

This breathtaking verse brings us to the great exchange of Easter’s Good Friday crucifixion. Jesus became sin, however, not by his own actions. He Himself never committed one sin. He was spotless, flawless, the completely innocent Lamb of God.

No, it was God His Father who…

Col 2:10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

In Christ we have no need of any other religious observance to make us complete before God. Christ is enough. He is more than enough. In Him dwelt all of God. He was filled with all God is, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We are now in Him and are thus also indwelt by all of God.

The only problem with a statement…

/ THE GREAT LIGHT PART 2

Col 1:27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

This hope was a mystery of how God would bring any hope at all to the Gentile world which was most of the world.

He would do it through Christ being within people.

Christ dwells in us through our invitation, through our faith, believing He is…

Mt 4:16

The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,

And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of

death

Light has dawned.”

When Jesus was brought to the Temple to be dedicated to the Lord an old Prophet Simeon, came by the Spirit and prophesied over Jesus that He would be a light to the Gentiles.

Lk 2:32

A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,
