The Fellowship of the King

In my Church & Ministry subject I have to carry out a field trip to two churches – one reformed but not similar to the Presbyterian system and one not reformed.
I’ve visited my non-reformed church last week and it was quite interesting to be a part of an atmosphere that was full of people being [...]

Having started up at Macquarie Chapel Presbyterian Church 2 weeks ago, it has been busy and hectic and trying to work out what I’m meant to be doing as well as trying to finish my final year of college and family stuff also.
One of the things I’ve been slowly getting round to is trying to [...]

I really enjoyed mark Driscoll’s talk he gave at RIce this year about “10 things he wish he knew about ministry when he was 25″ and without explaining them too much here they are in no particular order:

I guess it also comes [...]

My mission was to train and encourage a group of leaders to draw characatures of people whilst having Gospel conversations with them. It was easier said than done for some. Multi-tasking can be a hard thing when [...]

The service leader at church talked about Christians in the world and said “We only have to look around us to know that the world isn’t rite…” where at that very point in time all of my youthgroup kids turned around and looked at me for some reason. What have I done – I’ve created [...]
