A Church Alive is worth the drive
I am excited about what God is doing and about to do in your life and the life of the church at large. Across the North and the Western regions of Charters Towers, I sense that God’s set time to favour this area of Australia and its people has come. A hunger for God, His presence, His holiness and His power will draw people again to the household and life of faith.
The fledgling church described in the book of Acts, was a spirit filled church, a word- based church, signs and wonders followed the believers and prayer and boldness was the order of the day. They prayed daily, they fellowshipped daily, they searched the scriptures daily and the Lord added to their number daily.
Pressure and persecution did not cause the church to buckle, but on the contrary caused the believers to draw on the unseen resources of God and caused the apostle Paul to declare, “I know in whom I have believed. 2 Tim 1:12
Faith and a believing heart will see the promises of God materialise despite our situations and circumstances. To reign as kings in the realm of life (Rm 5:17) fulfils the Genesis 1:28 command, to be fruitful and multiply: fill the earth, subdue it and have dominion….

Message by David Lo Bianco at Charters Towers Christian Outreach Centre on the 25th of January 2026 at the pm Combined Churches Meeting
The Potter’s Wheel
“Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand says the Lord. Jeremiah 18:6”
In this powerful message, David Lo Bianco delivers a personal testimony of how God works with us as clay, upon a potter’s wheel. Using his own life and the dramatic events that unfolded when delivered the news that he had not long to live.
Not only did David survive the ordeal, but his faith in Christ was fully restored. Now known by his medical specialist as the miracle man!!!

Subdue, Work, Obtain.
Hebrews chapter 11 takes us on a chronological roller coaster ride through the Old Testament, mentioning by name, some 16 great people of faith and the 16 writing prophets. Read about them, and by faith become one of them, for that is why the account is written.
There is nothing passive about the Christian walk as described in the faith chapter of the bible, Hebrews 11. Verse 33 states the job description of the New Testament saints. Subdue Kingdoms, Work Righteousness and Obtain Promises. This is our job description!

What He’s Done.
If you were to die tonight and get into heaven, on what basis upon arriving, can you substantiate your reason for being there and staying there?
If you have the slightest temptation or inclination to even whisper the words “because I did this or because I did that”, then you have not understood the gospel message. There is only one answer that has qualified any person to enter the gates of heaven, and it is “Because He, Because He, Because He. Ephesians 2:8-9 wraps it up completely. “…It is the gift of God…”

Write The Vision 2026 Part 2
The perils and pit falls of an aimless life accompany those who have lost their vision for it. The apostle Paul's incredible hardships he endured did not deter him, for he had a heavenly vision. In his own words, and in his own defence standing in a court of law, “Therefore king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.”
Do you and I as we enter into 2026 have a heavenly vision for our lives? The benefits of doing so are immense. Not only did the great apostle have a vision, but the Godly vision had gripped him. When the origins of the vision are not earthly, who can stop it!!!

Write The Vision 2026 (Hab 2:2) Part 1
Before a commercial plane takes to the skies there is a flight plan that needs to be strictly adhered to as standard and mandatory procedure. It ensures that not only does the plane and its passengers depart, but also arrive safely, on time, and in one piece.
As we embark on 2026, what does God have for us and for you? When planning for the next 12 months, does God even come into our plans? What is our part to play? And if our life was described as a flight, what would our flight plan look like? My question for you today! Do you have a flight plan for 2026?

God Finishes His Work
On the seventh day of creation God rested, for He had finished. Noah was commanded to build the ark according to God’s design. That assignment too was completed when God Himself closed the door. Moses built the Tabernacle in the wilderness, and Solomon, the temple in Jerusalem. All challenging projects according to God’s design, and all recorded in scripture as being finished in all the details.
We too are God’s workmanship and His temple. The reason that we feel at times to be a work in progress, is because we are! How profound is that!!! God promises to finish the work in us, and we can be confident of its completion. (Phil 1:6)

It is only right that we do celebrate this moment in time when The King of Glory, Jesus the Son of the living God was born and to rejoice the world over, is fitting to do so. But it would be remiss of us all, to not only mention that He came, but also to rejoice in why He came.
In Luke chapter 19 Jesus said, Today salvation has come to this house ... for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost. A world crushed by the weight of its own sin needing redeeming and saving. Jesus Hebrew name Yeshua means Salvation.

Bondi: You Cannot Extinguish The Light.
Genesis 1:3 Then God said “let there be light”, and there was light.’
If God created the light do you think for one moment that darkness, which much less has the capacity or ability to comprehend it, can extinguish it?
At Bondi Beach on the first evening of Hanukkah, the festival of light; darkness tried to destroy the light of the Jewish people here on Australian shores. In John’s gospel Jesus declared “I am the light of the world.” Light therefore is not just something but Someone.

Not The White House But God’s House
The Lord said to the prophet Isaiah in chapter 40 that “the nations are as a drop in the bucket and are counted as the small dust on the scales.” Of its leaders “He brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth useless.”
The answer for every aspect of your lives will not be found in Government House or The White House but in God’s House. God’s advice to King Solomon is still the same to us here today. “If My people (the believers) who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray… He will heal our land.

We Would See Jesus
At the height of His popularity and influence; Jesus, fulfilling the extraordinary word of prophecy to Daniel, rides into the ancient city of Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate of Jerusalem. A day foreordained before the dawn of time.
The euphoria of the moment as the multitudes looked to their messianic hope to rid the scourge of Roman rule. Jesus words must have stunned all those present and a sober word to disciples today. “Jn 12:24 Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.”
