Parties, Alcohol, Smoking, Drugs & Spiritualism. WHAT'S IT WORTH

Saturday October 22 & 29 and November 5 - 3.30pm

Coral Coast Christian School Hall

Walters Street, Nth Bundaberg.

Lance Sisiolo, 22, originally from the Solomon Islands moved to Queensland when he was 14. He was raised a Seventh-day Adventist Christian.

BUT circumstances twisted by bad decisions saw him go from being in the Church, to being involved in the dance scene, drinking , smoking and even drug use.

What could shock you is his battle with demons in real life, how a teen controlled by demonic spirits and how God rescued him.

You've got to hear this 3-part series on how God changed hi life and how he got out from what he learnt in the Bible. He talks about a rarely spoken about subject in Churches today and about one of the devils greatest tactics used. It will radically change you.

WARNING! What he has to share could shock you, bring you closer to God and give you a greater understanding of who He is and in knowing our part in this GOOD Vs EVIL war.

Youth Program

On Saturday afternoon of the 22nd, and 29th October and the 5th November the St Andrews Youth are running an outreach program in the Coral Coast School Assembly Hall commencing at 3:30pm. The youth will be providing the music with Lance Sisiolo as the speaker. Many of our youth have been impacted by the message which Lance has to share. Our youth want others to hear this powerful message of the Good vs Evil war.

Please invite anybody you can think of to come to these life changing programs. This program is not just for youth but for anybody you feel inspired to invite. All Welcome!

The youth have invitations available which you can hand to your friends, relatives, neighbours, school friends and work mates. The Youth Leadership Team are keen to impact Bundaberg. Please help by praying and inviting.

For further information please contact myself, Jacob Wills, Jessie or Chloe Robinson, Anita Burns or Rachael Atkinson your youth leadership team.

Some Words from Steve Wohlberg

 The Last Harry Potter Movie Strikes July 15. What could be next is TERRIFYING.

The last Harry Potter movie - the grand finale - hits July 15. Should Christian families watch this movie or not? If you think it's fine, read on. I'm about to tell you something absolutely terrifying.

It's no secret that J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, with its storyline about both good and evil wizards, has resulted in a massive increase in teenage interest in witchcraft and Wicca throughout the world. I call this, Phase 1. Next, Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga about good and evil vampires has done the same thing for teenage vampirism. Blood drinking has surged. This is Phase 2. What's next? Where is Satan leading this final generation? I tremble over what I am about to tell you. Phase 3 (the most diabolic of all) appears to be new storylines (to be made into movies?) about "good" and evil demons, and the "quest" to become possessed by the "good ones." Two popular stories are promoting this right now: Diana Rowland's series about detective Kara Gillian, a Summoner of Demons; and Jenna Black's novels about master exorcist Morgan Kingsley who only casts out "illegal demons," not "good ones.." I'll spare you the links to this dark material, for they lead to "the gates of hell" (Matthew 16:18).

Can you imagine a popular wave where teenagers actively seek to be possessed by demons thinking it's good for them? How frightening!

"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness," wrote Paul, "but rather expose them" (Ephesians 5:11). "No fellowship" means we shouldn't snuggle up to Lucifer's snares at all, which includes watching movies or reading novels that subtly promote them.

"The Surrender of Self" by Joe Crews

Free download at http://www.amazingfacts.org/FreeStuff/OnlineLibrary/tabid/106/Default.aspx  Introduction     Would you look into your heart right now and respond to a very personal and important question? Do you judge yourself to be stronger in the things of God than you have ever been before? I hope so; that is exactly the way it is supposed to be. Every day with Jesus should be sweeter than the day before. Each moment should find us moving up in our experience with a deeper, sweeter faith than we had the moment before. 
     Yet I hope no one is satisfied that God has finished His work of growth and sanctification in their life. This very moment He wants to lead us out deeper into the waters of surrender and consecration. There are still victories to be won, there are sins to be put away, and there is a drawing together that needs to be accomplished by the Holy Spirit. And it needs to be done right now. Let me ask you a question. Does God really mean what He says in the fantastic promises of Romans chapter six? No other chapter of the Bible is so lavishly excessive in giving assurance to a struggling Christian. Consider these extravagant phrases for example: 

“Shall we continue in sin? … God forbid” (verses 1 and 2).

“We that are dead to sin” (verse 2).

“Henceforth we should not serve sin” (verse 6).

“Freed from sin” (verse 7).

“Dead indeed to sin” (verse 11).

“Let not sin therefore reign” (verse 12).

“Being made free from sin” (verse 18).

     There is certainly nothing ambiguous about any of those texts. But is there some secret meaning or perhaps some hidden reservation that might not apply literally to us in these promises? We are tempted to believe so because of the almost fanatical element of certainty in every verse and line. 
     Some people are frightened by the book of Romans simply because it describes the perfect work God wants to do in sanctifying us from our sins. Many people are also afraid of that word “perfect.” They are fearful that God will ask them to do something that they are not willing to do. 
     Before proceeding further, let’s settle this question once and for all. God will never do anything in our spiritual lives that we are not willing for Him to do. He never coerces the will or pressures us into any actions to which we have not given consent. So we can totally disabuse our minds of being forced into any life choices that are not free and sovereign.
     But now we come face to face with the basic root weakness that has led millions into discouragement and defeat. They simply have not been reconciled to giving up the enjoyment of their sins. There is a certain shallow, short-lived pleasure in sin that dances over the emotions and seeks to capture the mind through the sensory pathway of the flesh. In every case there must be a decision of the will to forfeit those temporary physical “pleasures of sin for a season.” Until that choice is made and acted upon, there can be no real victory over sin in the life.      Let me ask you right now whether you are resigned to the stripping away of all your darling indulgences. Are you prepared to accept all the results of a complete surrender to Christ? The mortifying of every fleshly evil? I am convinced that there are only two possible reasons for a person holding back and failing to gain the victory over sin. Either he is not willing to give up the enjoyment of the sin or else he does not believe that God will give him deliverance from it. Being willing, of course, is our problem, but seeing it done is God’s part alone. We must be willing, but we can never be able. Let us now look at these two great mental blocks that have stolen the victory from so many of God’s people.

The Safest Doomsday Shelter

 From Pastor Doug

“Doomsday bunkers” are apprently back in style. After all the recent earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados, fires, and floods, sales of these underground shelters have increased 1,000 percent! People today desperately looking for a place of safety are stockpiling these hidden bunkers with food, water, and other essentials—hoping to survive everything from social anarchy to nuclear war. God’s Word warns us, however, “Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut the doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation is past. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.” —Isaiah 26:20, 21 No, the rapture didn’t happen on May 21, but this nonevent sure captured the attention of the world. Perhaps the reason these zany predictions get so much attention is because people are more anxious than ever to survive what appears to be a very foreboding future! Worse, so many of these people think the best way to prepare against future catastrophe is by hoarding food and gas or stockpiling guns, gold, and supplies in some “doomsday shelter.” But according to Jesus, if you’re only thinking of saving yourself, you’re probably doomed anyway. “Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it” (Luke 17:33). So the question is, “How do you and I really prepare for the end of the world?” Here is a proven secret to guide us … Sharing Salvation I can summarize it in two words: WIN SOULS! If I really thought the world would end next week, I would work hard to take as many people with me to heaven as possible. Wouldn’t you? Jesus says that seeking to save souls is how you save yourself. “Whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it” (Mark 8:35). The proper response to the last days is to do what Jesus did—be about our Father’s business! Daniel put it this way: “Those who turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars forever” (Daniel 12:3). When you think about it, this is how Noah survived the global flood catastrophe. He made the ultimate doomsday bunker to save others. Yet in the process he saved himself and his family. Divine Opportunities Amazing Facts did all we could to turn the latest “end time” prediction into an evangelistic opportunity. God blessed with a CNBC article read by thousands, two national radio interviews, and a TV interview on Northern California’s Fox channel. In just one week we created a website called AfterMay21.com to reach people seeking the truth. After only two weeks, more than 250,000 visitors came to the site! A number asked how to be saved—including at least one Muslim—and we heard from so many who were encouraged and strengthened by this outreach. And along the way, we learned a lot during this effort that we plan on using in a much bigger way in the next year … December 21, 2012 Website With all the natural disasters, financial fears, and global uncertainty, these are some of the best and most fruitful days in history to invest in evangelism. In fact, right now, much media attention is being directed at another apocalyptic date. Loosely based on the Mayan calendar and driven largely by unending Hollywood hype in movies and TV specials, millions fear the world will end on December 21, 2012. Considering the thousands of people we reached with our May 21 website, we now want to produce another website that will target the millions around the world who are now focusing on the Mayan doomsday prophecy. With your help, we will develop a full-scale marketing plan—using ads on Google, Facebook, and video—so we can capture the attention of thousands of people caught up in this last-day prophecy. Then we will direct them to the Bible truth and help them find peace in Christ, the only sure shelter for the last days. Bunker-Busting Bombs Even underground bunkers aren’t really safe. During the Desert Storm war in Iraq, the U.S. military reveled a new weapon called “Bunker-busting bombs.” These special laser-guided, deep-penetrating bombs could target a bunker and bore deep through reinforced concrete before exploding. Likewise, the Word of God can penetrate Satan’s deepest bunkers to set captives free.

Message From The Pastor

The time for our Volunteer Youth Pastor Andrew Butler to return to Canada is fast coming to a close. Given that he still has two weeks leave due to him, which will be attached to the end of his stay, Andrew will be leaving us on Monday 25^th July from Brisbane airport. Which means he will probably leave Bundaberg on Sunday 24^th July.

We are not saying goodbye yet – we will reserve that for later – but I am sure we all can say that we have benefited greatly from his ministry and not only the Youth. We are going to miss you very much Andrew.
