Money matters

In this world, we focus on the importance of wealth a fair bit. It’s no wonder that most people consider it to be one of the most important things in life. As a Christian I know that money is not everything, however as Seth Godin points out in his blog on Price – what are [...]

Winter blues and building update

I haven’t been feeling too well in the last few days, due to catching a cold, sore throat, headaches, body aches, etc.
Just wanted to give everyone an update (and an exciting one at that) our church will be starting the very first service in the new building this Sunday! We are all very excited for [...]

Fools wanted

[No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame. – 1 Cor 1:27 (Amplified)
God deliberately chose the foolish, in other words God doesn’t care about what YOU can do. He doesn’t care whether you [...]

Igniting my code

I have looked a while back for a good PHP framework, but all of them just seemed to over complicate things. So in the end I decided to just build my websites without the use of a framework. Recently I came across Code Igniter (CI) an open source PHP framework and what I like about [...]

Jesus loves you!

When was the last time you shared Jesus with someone? Or maybe you’re someone that has never been told of the gospel message. On Sunday our whole youth group was challenged to pick up our mobile phones and call a friend, someone who we want to share Jesus with to tell them that Jesus loves [...]

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy mother’s day to all the mothers out there. Our church had an awesome time celebrating mother’s day with plenty of food! One of the highlights included a tribute made by Hope Kids and the Hope Church media team.

You can view the video on the Youthopea website.
Enjoy!

On the run again

On the weekend I finally got myself back to running. Although it was only a short run, I was very tired. The last time I ran was December, which is quite a while and since then I have been quite slack in terms of being disciplined in exercising regularly.
It’s important that we make sure we [...]

A place of our own

On Sunday, most of the church took a small field trip to our brand new building, it seemed like forever but we are almost at the stage of being able to move in! This will be the first building owned by our church (since we began 7 years ago), you may not realise how incredible [...]

The Room

Alex and Brett Harris blog about The Room: by Joshua Harris. This short story vividly captures the message behind what it meant for Jesus to die for us on the cross.
If you haven’t allowed Jesus to sign off all your wrongs, I pray that you would do so. If you’ve already received the salvation that [...]
