We Are a Real Church by David Alley
It is tempting to look at some other church and notice what they are doing right - the big band, or the large crowds, or the many "things" they do and think that somehow they are a better church than we are. In fact sometimes we have a "poverty mentality" that somehow thinks we are not a real church and only when we are like "that other church" will we be a real church.

Fishers of Men Part 1
Christ has called us all to follow Him - we all get that part and we all agree that we should follow Christ. But then what does he want - He wants us to follow so He can teach us something - teach us how to be fishers of men.
Being a fisher of men doesn't mean Bible bashing, knocking on doors or handing out tracts. It doesn't have to be hard or scary - in fact with Christ it can be natural and even easy.
So listen to this message and begin to learn what Jesus is asking of you and how you might begin to become this fisher of men that He was talking about.

First Things First
Some things need to have the first priority in our lives. If we focus all our time and effort on things that seem like more fun, or more pressing, or more urgent, or more something else - we may miss what really should be first.
So yes God should be first in our lives, but what exactly does that mean?
Listen to this inspiring message and you will begin to learn what things deserve to be first and should be placed first in our lives.

Forgiveness Makes You Feel Better
Jesus said that when we hold onto grudges and offences that it torments us. In this message David gives some amazing illustrations of what unforgiveness has done to a few people in this life.
Jesus said that with the same measure we use, it will be measured to us, so if we are merciful forgiving and kind towards others - that is how God is towards us. If we are harsh, unforgiving, and judging towards others - that's how God will treat us. It's our choice.

Repent is a Verb
Repentance is a concept we hear all through the Bible, including with John the Baptist and also with Jesus. The word repent is a verb - that means it is an action or something you do.
Some people think that praying a general prayer which includes the words "I repent of my sins" or something like that constitutes repentance. Nothing could be more wrong. Repentance is not saying the right words - it is something that you change and do differently.

God Hears The Prayers Of The Lost
Most Australians believe in God - apparently about 70% of them. And most Aussies pray regularly - 48%. (not including everyone who just prays occasionally) But most Australians don't attend church services. (only about 2 or 3%)
This leads me to believe that Australians don't have a problem with God, or with praying, even if they do have a problem with what they perceive as "church."

Tale of Brothers
The Bible tells of two brothers Cain and Abel. One was jealous of good things that happened to the other and killed him.
Then the Bible tells of two other brothers with the opposite problem. Obadiah the prophet tells about brothers Esau and Jacob (or Edom & Israel by their later names) where Esau gloated over bad things that happened to Jacob.
The original question remains - am I my brothers keeper? The answer from Heaven is a resounding yes.
