Church Blog for 18 October 2008
What is Church at home?
I would like to extend a warm welcome to all people reading this may the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and send his ministering angels to watch over you as you go about this life he has given you. The purpose of this space is to lift up and glorify the name of Jesus Christ, to share the love and the gospel to a sad and dying world. It promotes his online church "Church at home" this concept was formed to help people that struggle through sickness, disability, or have had bad experiences with the church that stops them from getting to live church services. We are non denominational and have from around the world, people that attend Church at home service that do go to and take active roles in Sunday Churches.
Church at home is a bible based Church and preaches the gospel as it is, you will not find sermons here to the likening of all, but we teach it the way it was taught by the early church hard hitting to the point and at times confrontational. We believe that there is no place for a watered down soft gospel to keep people happy the truth as much as it can hurt at times is given here. I would encourage you to have a look at our doctrine that can be found at our website http://churchathome-au.com/index.php?p=1_4_Doctrine To keep up to date with what is happening at Church at home please visit http://churchathome-au.com
What does 2008 have in store for Church at home?
Wow what a ride I thank God for creating Church at home, who would off thought 12 months ago that we would be called to have an online Church. What started out as a chat room designed to show God's love has turn out to be a life line for up to 90 people a week I can see it being used more in the months ahead? I thank you all who have been part of it and the room Christianity is real I can prove it God is using us to help the lost and too show the love and the gospel of Christ to a hurting world. What an honour and privilege it is to do so. Lord Jesus I state again we are nothing without you what we do here, through what you have entrusted us with is for your honour and your glory Lord, we offer ourselves as a humble and willing vessel to be used by you to achieve the purposes you have ordained us to do.
2008 is shaping up to be an exciting year what many said wouldn't last is here to stay the foundations have been laid, and we look forward to the way the Lord will space and use his Church praise you Lord.

Wayne's Weekly Bible Verses
1 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying,
2 "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.
3 "And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come.
4 "Again he sent out other slaves saying, `Tell those who have been invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast."'
5 "But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to his business,
6 and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them.
7 "But the king was enraged, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire.
8 "Then he said to his slaves, `The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 `Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.'
10 "Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests. Matthew 22:1-10

101 Scientific Facts & Foreknowledge
Science means knowledge, and true science always agrees with the observable evidence. Scientific research continues to unfold the wonders and mysteries of our universe. Interestingly, there is one book that has anticipated many of these scientific facts. That book is the Bible. This booklet presents 101 scientific facts found in the Scriptures. Many of these facts were penned centuries before they were discovered. Scientific foreknowledge found only in the Bible offers one more piece to the collective proof that the Bible is truly the inspired Word of the Creator. How does this affect you?
