S.P. Youth

Today we have brought back an Old-School Pentecostal tradition, that of sharing a testimony of what Jesus has done in our lives. The book of Revelations shares that the Blood of the Lamb (which is Jesus), and the word of our Testimony is what overcomes Satan in his efforts against us.

Listen with us as Lisa shares her testimony of how God has transformed her life.

Habakkuk 2:2-3 Reads like this:

And the LORD answered me:
"Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end--it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it;
it will surely come; it will not delay.

This week, Pastor Adam reflects on the last five years of our youth ministry, and the plan and general direction for the next five years.

We often forget what it is that contributes to a solid foundation for Holiness within Christian relationships. But, thankfully we have Pastor Adam, who shares his advice for building strong relationships within the context of Holiness.

Strong relationships is one thing. Holy relationships is another. Listen in on the latest in our weekly sermon podcast.

Hey Guys,

Podcasting has proven to be interesting. Just as we start to get the hang of it, things go wacky. It's all good as we have ironed out some of the wrinkles in the system and are well on the way to having the sermons regularly updated to within a couple days of preaching.

As for the latest sermon, "Matthew 28 Missionaries" It is finally up. If you haven't already...download iTunes from the apple website, install it...and then click on the link in the sidebar...this subscribes you to the auto-download of the sermons, and if you set it up right, you can have Ad's sermons delivered to your iPod. That's worth the effort in itself.


The skinny on the latest sermon taken from our Podcast page:


"Go out into the world and preach the gospel to all creation" - Jesus.

The Great commission is the Last Command Jesus gave to his followers who had seen and believed the resurrection. Pastor Adam White shares with us some practical direction for fulfilling the command handed down to us.

You can find the sermon as a direct download here. (right click + save link as) Matthew 28 Missionaries

Well, James' birthday rolled around a couple weeks ago and I must say that we who showed up had a great time.
Our fearless leader wasn't able to attend, so we missed out on opportunities give him stick.
From burping comps (which evolved into a farting comp) in the garage around the weber, to the eventual movie..with food and drinks for all, it truly was a great celebration of Jame's birthday.
Honourable mention in the burping competition goes to Bek, with the winner being declared as James himself. There was close competition from Matty and others, however, we were not able to topple the king on his own birthday.

The farting competition was won by Adam (who wasn't even there), which is testimony to the power of Adam's farts.

I stuck around long after everyone else had left, with James tutoring me on dog-fighting on xbox 360, and keeping the poor bugger up way past his bedtime.

Check out the Slideshow, there would be about triple the photos but the flash failed on the other 2/3rds of the shots. That and there were some which should never be shown to anyone.

Well, we finally have the second podcast edited and uploaded. For those of you that don't yet have the first podcast we've uploaded you can find it by clicking on the "Podcasts" category in the sidebar and looking for "Trees, Seasons and Shut up already!"

In this sermon, Pastor Adam offers us an insight into the continually unfolding plan of God's salvation, which is facilitated through Spirit filled believers. Believers who are not only bold, but able and capable of sharing the Faith. Missional issues such as Culture & Relevance are adressed in this continuing year-long theme of Holiness.

Hey guys, you will be pleased to know that the podcast sermon that was once thought to be lost forever...is not lost forever. We were able to salvage the sermon, which is a good thing, coz I actually missed that service and found it to minister to me as I was editing it.

You will soon be able to find it on the iTunes podcast directory after our technical difficulties have been erased, which will basically mean that our podcast has a potential to reach about 40,000,000 odd people. But if it ever did get to be that big, our internet bill would be equivalent to the budget of a small developing nation.

We'll rob that bank when we get to it.

The link that I am providing on this post is the direct link to the actual file (right click + save link as), however, if you have an iPod, and use iTunes, or just use iTunes...You can click on the "subscribe via iTunes" image in the sidebar of our main page and your iTunes will automatically organize and download the files whenever we update the podcast. This means that your iPod will auto-sync with the latest of our sermons and you can have Adam yell at you through your iPod automatically.

Enjoy the first of our podcasts, many more will be coming over the weeks and months.

Trees, Seasons and Shut up!

Hey all... Its 2:36 AM by my watch, and I have just finished implementing some of the new features for this site, to improve the interactivity and general browsing experience. The previous template we were using was causing problems with IE (Internet Explorer) and didn't really lend itself to much modification. That problem has been solved with the latest update, and I would still appreciate comments or insights on the features of the site.

As you may have noticed, we have introduced "Categories" on the sidebar which will help you find what you are looking for that little bit quicker.

We have also introduced a function where you can search by Author; which will search the blog for your chosen Author's posts and sort them by date. These little features don't really seem like much now, but later on down the track, they will be ridiculously helpful.

As for the Podcasts, they are coming soon. Minor technical difficulties have impeded our progress, but they will be sorted out soon enough.

The Weekly studies will be up before the next one is due out.

More and more stuff is coming, as Adam and I come across more and more stuff that we can implement here, so the value of this site is going to explode in the next few weeks, as it is something that Adam and I are extremely excited about.

Well, I'm off to bed.

Enjoy the latest updates.
