Ephesians #5 – The Amour of God
Armour of GodPreacher: Rev Kevin KimBible Reading: Ephesians 6:10-32 This Sunday, we are looking at the last part of Ephesians, Chapter 6. Paul’s final teaching towards people in Ephesus seems somewhat very strong. It is about putting on the armour of God. What might it mean in today’s world situation to encourage Christians to become soldiers for Christ? The people of Paul’s day were certainly familiar with the armour of the Roman soldiers that filled every city in Macedonia. But Read more
Ephesians #3 – God’s Expansive Love
God’s expansive Love Preacher: Rev Kevin Kim Bible Readings: Ephesians 3:1-21 As we continue our series on ‘Ephesians’, we will learn from chapter 3 this Sunday.

Decision Making
Sermon Text As you move to a new area, you need to find some good GP, hairdresser, fresh vege and meat butcher and so on. Finding a reliable car mechanic is also what you want. About June last year, one of my old car’s window stop working. S Up until that point, I have not found a good car mechanic and I googled and found one car service in Waitara. He checked my car and said, if I get Honda Read more
Divine Persistence
Sermon Text This week, we are moving to chapter six in Mark. This is one of those Narrative Lectionary selections that seems to have too much going on to deal with in one sermon. I believe the fun of the Narrative Lectionary and one of its purposes is to see how the stories flow into and out from each other, how the structure of the narrative holds the gospel and call from God as well as the words themselves.There are Read more
The Kingdom Causes Growth…???
Summer Series #2 – The Kingdom Causes Growth…??Preacher: Kevin Kim / Bible Reading: Mark 2:1-22 Before we get into chapter 2, I thought it would be helpful to look at the overview of this book of Mark as today is first in-person worship for this Mark’s series.Who wrote the book? The author of Mark was a Christian named John Mark, a relatively obscure person so far as New Testament records indicate. Believed to have been a relative of Barnabas, who Read more
