Colossians 3:18-4:1 says, "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.

Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eye service as men pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you wil… Continue reading...

Let us come before the Lord in prayer and ask for His help as we look at His Word.

Help us, Lord God, we pray with our struggles to understand and with our struggles to obey, and give us strength, Lord God, to not reject the truth of Scripture but to receive it as it is indeed the Word of truth. Guide us, we pray, by Your Spirit into all truth and help me, Lord, to preach i… Continue reading...

I want us to read Ephesians 5:22-33 and also Colossians 3:19.

Ephesians 5:22-33: "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might presen… Continue reading...

For a very long time - it may seem like it's been a short time that it's been here - but we were praying for this church when it was still a twinkle in Joshua's eye, when he was considering what the Lord would have him to do. And so it's been a great time for us as we've been able to send him out and watch the Lord's grace in his life, and of course in the lives of yourself as you've been ministered to by Joshua here. And we continue to pray for you, and this is at Drummoyne Baptist, the whole of us, the body of Christ there. We regularly re… Continue reading...

Well, good morning all, and thank you for the opportunity to share with you the Word of God. Today, our sermon will come from 1 John, and we will look at some of the key ideas that the Apostle John illuminates for us in his first letter.

There are a few ways you can read this letter based on its content. For instance, many look at 1 John as a pastoral letter to his church, and that is very much true. You see, the language he uses is very familial, very communal, and you can sense an intimacy that is very apparent in his letter. In ano… Continue reading...
