Give God your weakness and He'll give you His strength! 🙏

We have all experienced the effects of fear and isolation. These may come and go throughout our lives but a lot of Australians experience it over many months and years. And so did David. In his long term experience of it he discovered what God was like and Ps. 34 represents a record of his experience of God’s goodness in that time, and some advice about how we should posture ourselves.

GREENHOUSE MINISTRIES
Our vision for ministry is principally about equipping and empowering believers for the purpose of fulfilling their own God-assigned ministries and not about gathering disciples to serve in Gracehouse ministries. These disciple-lead ministries are what we call "greenhouse" ministries. Our greatest kingdom effectiveness will not come from a limited amount of ministries all centralized around Gracehouse, but rather from an army of equipped disciples emanating out from Gracehouse to fulfill the purpose that God has called them to. Our hope is that Gracehouse will function like a "greenhouse" that will cultivate countless ministries of this nature.

"The most vital asset to the life of a believer is the Secret Place."

14 And we exhort you, brothers and sisters: warn those who are idle,[b] comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 15 See to it that no one repays evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.

1 Thessalonians 5:14-15

Here is a precious insight into the possibilities for a rich and inspiring interaction with the Lord made possible by His mercy to us. Let us not wait to experience His joy in the next life; let us enter into a life-changing interaction with Him so that indeed Jesus’ prayer will be our prayer - “on earth as it is in heaven”.

“To love God is to love His will. It is to be content with His timing and wise appointment."

- Elisabeth Elliot

As we prepare for baptism Sunday in a few weeks we take a fairly straight forward look at what we believe about Baptism. What it should look like, what it’s accomplishing, and its role in the Christian life.

As human beings we are wired to be in awe of greatness. From Olympians performing amazing physical feats to titans of industry changing and shaping the way we live in our world we tend to look up to people that are ‘great’. When Jesus teaches on the kingdom though he introduces us to a different paradigm. A paradigm of humility. Of standing with the outcast and the person on the fringes. When we do we see the world through God’s eyes. The first will be last and the last will be first.

You, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men[a] who will be able to teach others also.

2 Timothy 2:1-2 CSB

"Real love is often hard, inconvenient and costly; but true happiness only comes to those who care about others at some cost to themselves."

- Nicky Gumbel

14 Therefore make up your minds[c] not to prepare your defense ahead of time, 15 for I will give you such words and a wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.

Luke 21:14 CSB

"You may not understand what is happening to you; it may seem, to you, all wrong. Trust yourself to Him...hold on to his constancy, his justice, his eternal purposes for you in Christ...remain steadfast and unshaken, confident that ultimately all will be made plain and all will be well."

- Martin Lloyd-Jones

Gracehouse is filled with fruitful believers! 🙏

12 For whoever has, [more] will be given to him, and he will have more than enough. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 For this reason I speak to them in parables, because looking they do not see, and hearing they do not listen or understand.

Matthew 13:12-13 CSB

How we handle trials, affliction, and suffering in the Christian life matters. Paul gives us the perspective that we can rejoice, even in our suffering, because of what God can do through our suffering. In the end, if we allow our hearts to be trained, it produces hope.

We serve a God who works across generations. From Adam to Abraham. From Abraham to Jesus. From Jesus to us... it's clear that God works across the ages to bring about his kingdom. How can we begin to think about and partner with God in serving the generations to come.

"Revival is a renewed conviction of sin and repentance, followed by an intense desire to live in obedience to God. It is giving up one's will to God in deep humility."

- Charles Finney

See what great love the Father has given us that we should be called God's children—and we are!

"Prayer is the act of seeing reality from God's point of view."

- Philip Yancey

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel,[c] because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith,[d] just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.[e][f]

Romans 1:16-17 CSB

"A humble and prayerful spirit will find a thousand things in the Bible, which the proud, self-conceited student will utterly fail to discern."

- J.C. Ryle

The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me[a]
to proclaim release[b] to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set free the oppressed,
19
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.[c]

Luke 4:18-19 CSB

“Royalty is my identity. Servanthood is my assignment. Intimacy with God is my life source.”
