The kingdom of God doesn't have a flashing neon sign over the entrance gate, nor does it have clearly lit street signs leading to it. The way of God is hidden from all men, because it is not discerned through the natural senses. The natural senses of sight, hearing, touch, etc, reveal nothing. The way of God is a spiritually discerned path and can only be found through the instructions given by God's people. The right instructions bring the right results.

Uncomfortable Truths Pt2
Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 3rd December 2023.
When Paul wrote his letter to the Corinthian church, he touched on many things that they were not aware of, or had missed in their priorities to serve God. Some of God's purposes were confused with their own ambitions. The following scriptures reveal a variety of scriptural truths that most people may not be aware of... some comfortable and some not so comfortable.

Forgetfulness
Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 27th December 2024.
One of the greatest causes of the problems we face is that we continually forget (overlook) simple truths. We become so engrossed with short term goals and needs, we tend to overlook far more important long-term requirements. One example of such actions happens very obviously within friendships and marriages. People overlook lifetime opportunities because of momentary disappointments and setbacks... disputes lead to arguments; bitterness sets in, and the relationship can be permanently destroyed. This is also true of those who serve God. We can be momentarily distracted by pressures or problems and before we know it, we stop serving God and his people. We forget the most basic of all truths... prayer, reading, fellowship, serving one another, tithes and offerings, etc. The plan God has for us is put on hold until we are motivated once again to walk in the true light of the gospel. The scriptures repeatedly remind us of such truths.

The Name Of The Lord
The Name Of The Lord
Delivered by Mitchell Lever 22/06/25.
Throughout the Bible, God is known by many names, These names help us to better understand God's nature toward us. If we don't know who God is or what he can do, we can simply ask his name and he will reveal himself to us!

The Priest And The Shepherd Pt1
The bulk of God's complaints about the priests related to their indifference and unscriptural behaviour towards the weak, the poor, and the sinners. God often directs us to observe the actions of a good shepherd, who often has a completely different mindset than the priest. All animals are important to the shepherd. He will make real efforts to save every lamb... particularly the sick and the weak. The good shepherd also refuses to accept the loss of a lamb; he will look till he finds it. The role of the priest should be the same as the shepherd.
