Cnr of Park Rd and MacMahon St, Hurstville Sundays at 9:30 am and 6:30pm
At our Sunday evening services, we’ve introduced the question box. It’s fairly simple: write a question, put it in the box, and then at some future date, and I will try to answer it within 2 minutes, from the bible. I’m definitely not all-knowing, but I am convinced that in His word, God has given…
OK, today’s question is: What are the different offerings in the book of Leviticus? e.g. burnt offering, sin offering… Now this question came in before we started our sermon series on Leviticus, but I thought tonight is a good time to answer it. There are five different kinds of offering in Leviticus: In practise, they…
Tonight’s question from the box: Is sin about a:– Behaviour– Personality– Thoughts– Feelings– Expression– Outcome– Situation, etc?If sin is used to describe behaviour, then how do we explain “sin living in me” and “the law of sin.” OK, sin can describe number of those things listed: There are sinful behaviours, there are sinful thoughts, there…
OK, for question box: there are so many questions, that I’m going to try to do two this week, but with shorter answers. And these two questions are related. The first one is: “Why do we attribute so much evil to the person of Satan, and not the more general Satan or satans?” This question…
OK, tonight’s question is an interesting one: Is it OK to pray for things to occur in the past? Not for the past to change but that something would occur that you don’t know has happened yet? I think I get what this is asking. Like we might walk out of an exam, and have…
OK, today’s question is: “How come Jesus didn’t go to every nation?” It interesting, from age 30 when he went public, till age 33 when he died and rose again, Jesus never went more than 120km from home. And so if Jesus is a Saviour for every nation, why didn’t he go to every nation?…

This coming term, some of group groups will be studying Leviticus chapters 11-26, following the evening sermon series. Group leaders can obtain printed copies from Timothy in the office, or download PDFs…
Today’s question is: Are we degrading people’s dignity by rehabilitating as opposed to punishing? (See “The humanitarian theory of punishment” by C S Lewis). Punishment and cure According to the Humanitarian theory, to punish a man even though he deserves it, is mere revenge, and, therefore, is immoral. C S Lewis argues that the Humanitarian…
OK, today’s question is a classic question box question: Was Cain’s wife born of his mother Eve? This question was famously asked 100 years ago as part of the famous “Scopes monkey trial.” Anyway, let’s remember why this is a question: The bible’s story of humanity begins with Adam and Eve. They have two sons,…
Today’s question has three parts to it: Is there any biblical significance to martyrdom?Similarly is there any biblical significance to sainthood?Why were they so valued in history? OK, let’s start with martyrdom. Throughout the history of the church there have been people who have been been killed for witnessing for Jesus. I guess you could…
Today’s question is: “what’s the most modern object in the bible?” I enjoyed thinking about this question. And here’s the answer I’m going with: the New Testament itself is the most modern object in the bible. Let me explain: in 2 Timothy 4:13, Paul is approaching death, and he writes his very last letter. And…
