Gospel Hour Site Update

We have rearranged the Gospel Hour site to facilitate access to sermons broadcast in the second hour of Sunday Breakfast (7-8am) ‘informally’ called ‘the Hunter Gospel Pulpit’. All sermons, messages and talks now have a dedicated page under the ‘Sermon’ tab on the site navigation bar. These audio files may be freely downloaded and shared with acknowledgment to the Kurri Kurri Congregational fellowship and the Gospel Hour. Bear in mind that by Divine intention, preaching is a ‘living voice to a hearing ear’, that is, it is always better, DV, to be ‘there to hear it’ in the first place. The sermons and messages have been processed for broadcasting with no editorial modification of the actual content. We thank the LORD for His great kindness and the gracious privilege of serving our fellow ‘strangers and pilgrims on the earth’.

Warm regards in Christ, Rob, Edwina, and Japheth.

Supporting Christ Honouring Bookshop-Literature Ministries

Doing some web searches the other day I came across The Faith and Freedom Bookshop website. The title immediately caught my eye. I was surprised to discover that it was the continuance of our late dear brother John McKenzie and his wife’s ministry from Adelaide. I had been under the mistaken impression in particular that the McKenzie’s bookshop work had simply continued on at the Magill Church site in S.A. However that was not the case. Apparently John passed on his work into safe hands not long before he went home. Thank the LORD for that then.

One of the most important aspects of a bookshop and literature ministry is knowing what NOT to present on your shelves, as “we have no small cause to be thankful to God for good books, when there be such hordes of bad ones”. Indeed, there are ‘christian bookshop’s’ in this country that began well, but quickly capitulated to the errant wants of an undiscerning nominal ‘christian’ clientèle. Abandoning biblical principles and pandering to itching ears rather than presenting sound doctrine that cannot be condemned, such became purveyors of perverse things and a source of real injury to young believers as yet unexercised in the faith. A ‘world of christian products’ is merely a high sounding catch-phrase for promoting businesses that are swine troughs overflowing with mystical offal and rancid slops of neo-liberalism. Enough said.

We warmly commend the Faith and Freedom Bookshop to the attention of our listeners. Pray earnestly for the Lord’s blessing upon the believers at Faith Presbyterian Church – Perth who uphold this ministry.

warm regards in the LORD

Psalm CD from the EPC

The new psalm CD featured in the Gospel Hour on the 7/11 is a ministry effort of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (Australia). Produced by the youth fellowship of the EPC’s Launceston congregation, the CD presents acapella selections from the Metrical Psalter (1650) of authentic spiritual praise and believing testimony. This is a fine work by these young people and we are thankful to the LORD for the privilege of presenting it in the show.

For further information and ordering copies of the CD you should contact the EPC direct on their email:

epchurch@gmail.com

Or visit their website link for on-line samples and information on ordering the CD
