“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayst prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John vs 2. Our mission is to preach the gospel to every creature. For sure the greatest desire of God’s heart is that His children should spend eternity with Him. However, His love doesn’t stop there. He cares for the health and happiness of His sons and daughters in this life just as much as He does for the life…

Elim Heights has always been a wonderful place to spend time together and to praise God while being surrounded by His wonderful creation; so, when an Elim Heights combined Sabbath and a Sunday Busy-bee was lined up on the same weekend, many took advantage of this social time and the opportunity to be together. Over the Sabbath many came from Schofields and Wentworthville churches and were privileged to hear Br. Domenic Polistina take the Divine Service. This was followed by…

In Daniel 12:4, last part, we read: “… many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” As a young person, I wondered: how will it be possible for all the world to hear the good news of the Gospel? Today with technology advancing by the second, through the world-wide web and other media options, the message can be given to the whole world with a click of a button. We should take advantage of this and make…

The WA Youth came together on Sunday, 26th of March to enjoy a day of canoeing at Lake Leschenaultia, east of Perth. The day was cold and windy. While a small part of us took some cover under a picnic table shelter, the rest of the youth actually went out canoeing with enthusiasm—and even went swimming in the frigid waters. Those who were looking on only became colder with the sight. Despite the chilly weather, old and young enjoyed themselves,…

What does it mean, ‘to be in Your likeness’? In heaven You were perfect, No Scars marked Your brow, No tears of pain and grief fell down Your cheeks, Your hands had no nails driven in them, Your side was not run through. In heaven You were perfect, Your visage unscathed, Yet You chose the path to pain, And death put You in the grave. You did this because You didn’t want me to lose Your likeness, My sins—my life—were…

Sunday 9th April had dawned bright and clear. It was a perfect morning as members and friends of Guildford and Stratham churches headed down to Lake Moyanup in Waroona, WA to witness the most beautiful of ceremonies. On this day another soul would be making a public commitment to give themselves over to the Lord and serve Him for the rest of their life. This time it was Amariah Payet. The profession of faith was held by the lake along…

On the 4th of March, all the Sydney churches came together, and we held a farewell at Schofields Church for the Dumaguit family. We spent the afternoon in a praise and fellowship meeting, and after the closing of Sabbath, we enjoyed a delicious dinner that all contributed to. After eating, we watched a short PowerPoint presentation of photos taken during the Dumaguit’s time with us and then presented them with a gift from all of us at church: a book…

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. To begin expressing our need, in the solemnity of the days we are living now, we want to borrow the pressing words of our Lord, which are found in the twenty-first chapter of the Gospel of Luke verse twenty-eight, He said: “And when these things begin to come to pass,…

After this youth camp, I can say that I understand just a bit more of why God placed Adam and Eve in a garden. Being surrounded by God’s handiwork ultimately magnifies His greatness and works to reveal His plan for us in our lives. This wonderful experience all started on the 14th of April when families packed their cars and headed off for a four-hour drive east of Perth to Wave Rock, in the wheat belt region. Though the journey…
