Rev's Ramblings

Sun 13 Nov

One could easily state that Jesus is doing His best to deter people from following Him as He gives a series of instructions in what we call the Sermon on the Mount. Such instructions challenge would be followers to check their attitude and defines how the commandments are to be obeyed. In verses 1-18...

Sun 6 Nov

A handshake was as good as your Word.  At least it used to be that way.  When a deal was being struck, you shook hands and the deal was kept – whether it be the purchase of a car or a house.  Sadly such handshakes are few and far between.  Today when a deal is struck, papers are...

Sun 30 Oct

Just how has Jesus fulfilled the Law is a question worth pondering. He tells His followers that He has not come to abolish the law but to fulfill them. When we think about someone fulfilling the law, we think of someone who is able to keep the law. If someone fulfills the law then the picture is of...

Sun 23 Oct

Jesus has begun to call His followers. Two sets of brothers took up the call to follow Jesus. Others would come and start following. Others would start but would soon give up citing it was too difficult to maintain a consistent walk. Initial followers thought they knew what would be involved. For sure...

Sun 16 Oct

Jesus has begun to call people to follow Him – two sets of brothers, who would soon start on the journey of a life time fishing for men. He has shown them some of the ministries they would be involved in. Then Jesus explained the traits of someone who would be following Him. If one is to follow Jesus...

Sun 9 Oct

It is the middle of the trade period for the AFL. A period where League Clubs set out to recruit players to fill certain playing positions. Recruitment is done largely based on skills and the finances needed. This morning we look at Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. The sermon begins not with the beatitudes...

Sun 2 Oct

We have been looking at the Book of Job for several weeks. It started with Satan going before God and asking for the hedge of protection that currently surrounds Job to be removed. Satan attacks Job causing him immense suffering. The Book of Job comes with questions. Why suffering? Why does God even allow...

Sun 25 Sep

One of Job’s long held desires is to have an audience with God. We know from previous chapters that even if Job was slain in the process, his desire was to meet up with God. His reason for desiring such a meeting was to find out the reasons for the tragedies that had over taken his life. As we near...

Sun 18 Sep

We pondered why we were here last week. The Westminster Confession of Faith reminds us that we are here to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. While we are here, what then are we to do? What then is our ministry? In Job 32 we are introduced to presumably another friend of Job – Elihu. He has been...

Sun 11 Sep

Why am I here is an interesting question to ponder? In thinking about the question we might tie it as to why we came to church this morning? Or we might tie it as to why we live in Werribee or Tarneit? But just why are you here? Is it for a coffee and biscuit after the service? Is it to catch up with...
