Anzac Day
Monday, April 25, 2011
Although our thoughts on Anzac Day usually go to Gallipoli, there were many other
theatres of war that demonstrated the sacrifice of Australian soldiers for the freedom we
enjoy today. Read More

Easter Sunday
Thursday, April 21, 2011
I have had several experiences over the years of bidding at auction on different things. When my wife and I were engaged we purchased a block of land and went through the “nail biting" auction process. More recently, I love bidding online for various items. In an auction, you go through the process of not knowing if what you have offered will secure the item. There is of course much joy when the hammer comes down or the screen flashes letting you know that you have been successful. Read More

The Book of Acts continues...
Sunday, April 17, 2011
Our church has just returned from a two week Crusade to the city of Dumaguete in the
Philippines. Over this time we witnessed over 1200 people accept the Lord and we saw
over 500 families followed up and agree to hold further bible studies in their homes. It was an amazing experience
to see the Kingdom of God advance with signs and wonders giving evidence to the power
of God at work. The majority of the sixteen team members were from Peninsula but we
had others from Sydney and a contingent from Yass. It was a blessing to work with fellow
Australian believers from different churches who came together in unity with our Filipino
brothers and sisters. Read More

Are you a bystander or a participant?
Wednesday, February 16, 2011
I wrote earlier about delighting yourself in the Lord, and He granting you the desires of
your heart.
The two aspects of this verse are 1. on God the provider of all things and 2. our role.
The passage says "to delight.....yourself.... "We are the ones that are responsible for
moving towards God as our source of provision.
When you look at the Psalms (especially
103) we discover not only aspects of God's character but all that He has done and provided
for us. God's provision is complete we have everything we need in Christ. 2 Peter 1:3
says "his divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through
our knowledge of him..." again we see His provision but the emphasis is on us to be
responsible to gain that knowledge. Read More

God has a plan
Wednesday, January 19, 2011
In both the Old and New testaments we see that God has a plan and purpose for our life regardless of our circumstances.
Most of us would have read the following scriptures, Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future". Also in Ephesians 2:10 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we could walk in them."
I want to draw your attention to just one point about these verses. Both of these statements are made in the context of adverse circumstances.

New Beginnings
Wednesday, January 05, 2011
One of the of the greatest challenges of the Christian life is the continual need to be reminded that it is God who is in control - not us. This is no more evident at the start of a New Year when we are all setting our resolutions and goals.
The natural man will bring forth vision and desires from his own heart and then bring that to God and ask Him to bless it. The spiritual man will go to God and from the throne room of heaven receive what God desires for the coming year.
Our obedience to this vision will automatically receive not only Gods blessing but also his empowerment to fulfill what would seem at times an impossible task. Do you see the difference? The former has us in control with God doing our bidding, while the latter has the right perspective. We are not the master, merely grateful servants. Read More

Looking for something different?
Friday, March 19, 2010
You are invited to a church in the radical middle this Sunday at 9.30am...
Peninsula Vineyard Church has recently moved in to larger premises in Brookvale, on the Northern Beaches of Sydney to provide additional space for our expanding ministries and services.
The church is part of the Vineyard Church denomination which has seen tremendous growth worldwide over the past 30 years. The Vineyard has been labeled by some as a church in the “radical middle” because of its emphasis on both strong bible teaching but also the leading and encouragement of the Holy Spirit in its services and meetings.

How to make a fresh START
Saturday, January 09, 2010
Today we celebrate the start of church for 2010.
The good news of the gospel is that God is into fresh starts.
Isa 43:16 This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, Isa 43:17 who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together,and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: Isa 43:18 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. Isa 43:19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
