2 Apologies:
- If you’ve visited Sam and we didn’t take a photo
- If your photo is smaller than you think it should be!! (It’s random with sizes)
Dr. James White in Australia
Well-known Christian apologist and all-round smart dude, Dr James White, will be speaking in Sydney and Brisbane over the upcoming week. “James White is the director of Alpha and Omega Ministries, a Christian apologetics organization based in Phoenix, Arizona. He is the author of more than twenty books, a professor, an accomplished debater, and an elder of the Phoenix Reformed Baptist Church.”
Here’s the itinerary:
Bring You Praise | Trevor Hodge
Trevor Hodge has been writing praise and worship songs for over 10 years. In the past 12 months, I’ve been to a number of events where Trev has led the congregation in singing, ranging from 20 people to 400 people. In both contexts he’s effective in taking the spotlight off himself and directing it toward Jesus through uplifting songs.
Bring You Praise is a fantastic album that also directs the listener toward Jesus. The album achieves something that many others in this genre fail to achieve: emotional AND theological engagement. That is; lots of albums are brilliant musically, but lack theological richness; while other albums are theologically rich, but lack in their ability to engage emotionally.
One of the striking features of Bring You Praise is the centrality of the gospel throughout the album from beginning to end. The death, resurrection and return of Jesus are themes that are returned to again and again.
John Calvin on 1 Corinthians 2:6-7

Qurious – The Good Life | High School Ministry Resource
Most scripture teachers and youth pastors that I know are pressed for time and are limited in their capacity to produce quality resources. Qurious have just released a useful tool for using in high school scripture classes and seminars. It’s well produced and one of the great strengths of this package is its flexibility.
The DVD has the following features:
