The Saturday Morning Train

Mike — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 12:45:16 +0000

ALL ABOARD! Sorry that was a bit lame. But this isn’t! This saturday at church at 8am we will begin the first of our saturday morning train-ing events. This time we will be looking at how to lead church. Welcoming people, setting the tone for the meeting, directing people to the Bible and getting them to begin engaging with God. Its more than just the announcement!! If you’d like to lead church or have a go at it then make sure you come along this Saturday for the train! Yes, at that time of morning there will be coffee (and pastries – I hope) let Mike know if you are coming. mike@rockypc.org.au

James | The Ugly Truth

Mike — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 23:43:32 +0000

Starting this Sunday at Rockhampton Presbyterian Church we begin a new Bible Talk series on James | The Ugly Truth. It’s not that the truth is ugly it that when we look at our lives in the light of the truth the book of James speaks we realize how ugly we are and how desperately we need Jesus to change us. James forces us to take a long hard look into the mirror. This book is not for the faint-hearted or for those who think being a christian is about being “nice”. Listen James doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to highlighting our own personal inconsistencies and neither will these bible talks.

If you live in Rocky why not come along and join us or if you can’t get to church with us you can listen to our talks here under the bible talks tab.

Mike’s Blog – July

Mike — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 13:18:37 +0000

Well its holiday time for this little black duck and as you can see from the pictures we are heading off to Cairns. I’m preaching at the Cairns Presbyterian Church Camp July 16-18 at Camp Tinaroo doing 4 talks from Revelation 1-3 and then preaching at the morning and evening church services at Cairns Presbyterian Church in the city, also from Revelation 1-3 from the series I did earlier this year called The Church Jesus Wants. It’s kind of exciting for me personally to be going to Cairns, and preaching at the church there – it’s were I first heard the gospel and came to faith in Jesus when I was 17 years-old. So, to be returning there to preach is really quite a thrill and a humbling honour. We have two weeks holiday in Cairns following the Camp, and apart from reconnecting with my family, I’m hoping to do as little as possible so we can return home refreshed and renewed to serve Jesus faithfully in reaching our City of Rockhampton with the gospel.

QTC Mission

Mike — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 14:07:22 +0000

Starting next Monday (April 20-26) we have a team 18 students from QTC (Queensland Theological College) in Brisbane coming to partner with us in our mission to our city: Rockhampton. The team will be at the University (CQ University) on Tuesday and Wednesday, speaking with students and running two lunch time talks. On Wednesday night the team will lead the Student Life Catalyst meeting and then lead a combined Small Groups meeting at the church. On Thursday the team are taking the day off to take in the beautiful Capricorn Coast so that on Friday they can head over to South Rockhampton High School for a Seminar. Friday night the team is going to lead our Youth group (we are still looking for a name??) Saturday morning is a bit of a sleep in before an afternoon game of touch footy or soccer with the Residential students at CQU and a BBQ. Sunday will see the students preaching and involved at our morning and evening church.

It’s going to be huge week for the team and for our church – please pray that we can make some great contacts at the School and the University and encourage and strengthen the Gospel work and workers in those places. If you want to be involved swing by the church and if you can’t do that be sure to pray for us.
