12.10.25 Uneducated, Untrained and Unstoppable. Ps. Geoff Broekman

Uneducated, Untrained and Unstoppable.
Peter and John were brought before religious authorities on the accusation that a lame from birth man was healed, and that a good deed was done for this helpless man. They, however, did not given in to intimidation, threats and violence.
These authorities saw the boldness and marvelled at these uneducated and untrained men but noted that they had been with Jesus. The early church prayer meeting that followed, petitioned heaven for even more boldness and for signs and wonders. We too will be unstoppable when we pray in like manner.

05.10.25 And He Called. Ps. Geoff Broekman

And He Called.
In Genesis chapter 1, God made, and then called the night and the day, the firmament of heaven and the dry land. To call is to also name, which is the privilege and the assertion of ownership and sovereignty over it.
Throughout Gods word, that divine call has gone out to men and women in every generation. Moses, Moses, Samuel, Samuel and Saul Saul. God calls people out from Egypt, traditionally representing bondage, and delivers Egypt out of them. Place your name alongside these divine callings, as the church (Ecclesia) itself, means the Called Out Ones.
 
 

28.09.25 Is There Not A Cause? Ps. Geoff Broekman

Is There Not A Cause?
Divine destiny already revealed itself, when Jesus, only twelve years old responded to His anxious parents, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Fathers business.”  Holding Jesus firmly to the cause of the kingdom for His earthly ministry until the end, standing before Pilate, His words remained steadfast. “For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world.”
David, the youngest of eight sons, challenged his own brothers before the intimidating giant Goliath of Gath, with words that reverberate to this very day; “Is there not a cause?”

21.09.25 No Blood No Glory. Ps. Geoff Broekman

No Blood No Glory
God has ordained, before the foundation of the world, a process or protocol for sinful man to be able to enter the presence of a holy and righteous God. Man, once the pinnacle of God’s creation, but now separated from God because of sin, is not only to be forgiven, but to be able to stand in the glory of God.
Fallen humanity and the glory of God do not coexist in heaven. How does God destroy sin without destroying us? Heb 9:22 Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. Covenants between God and His people have always been sealed with blood. Without the blood there is no glory. No Blood No Glory.
 
 

14.09.25 Things Aren't Always What They Seem. Priscilla Jamieson

Things aren't always what they seem.
In this day of deception, firstly, we need to understand and know who God is. Romans 11:36
Secondly, if you are born again, and walking with God, you need to know who you are in Christ Jesus.
1 John 4:4,5

Charlie Kirk - A Turning Point. Ps. Geoff Broekman. 14.09.25

Charlie Kirk Assassination Is A Turning Point
Early Thursday morning (AEST) many awoke to the devastating news that Charlie Kirk had been assassinated. At the age of 31 he had become a conservative voice of reason and common sense to a generation of youth raised in an intellectual atmosphere of indoctrination of leftist ideology which has totally hijacked our educational systems from day care and upwards.
He asked people to think, to reason, to debate, to bridge the divide of our times. His wife Erika’s tribute to her husband Charlie, is more like a presidential address to the nation carrying the message, not of defeat nor of despair, but of amazing resolve and determination. Will you and I find our courageous voice in this turning point in our times?

07.09.25 Father's Day 2025. Ps. Geoff Broekman

Father’s Day 2025
The first words that a baby often speaks is daddy, daddy, daddy. In the Hebrew language in which almost all the Old Testament was written that word is ab or abba (Aramaic) spoken to this very day in the streets of Israel. It is interesting to note that Ab or Abba also appears first in the Hebrew dictionary and our concordances.
Jesus Himself used this baby talk term “daddy” in His deepest need and anguish in the garden of Gethsemane when He prayed: “Abba (daddy, papa) Father, all things are possible for You.”  Through this position of apparent weakness, Jesus went on to accomplish for man his greatest victory.   
 

31.08.25 Super Salvation Sunday. Ps. Geoff Broekman

Super Salvation Sunday
Salvation can never be overstated. It is the possession of God and therefore supernatural in its origin, power and its effects on the human heart and life. Salvation is imparted to man by an act of God’s divine grace through faith and a believing heart.

30.08.25 The Strongman's Gospel. Men's Breakfast. Ps. Geoff Broekman

The Strongman’s Gospel
The Christian Life is not for the Lilly livid, pathetic, insipid and flaccid individual who persists in doing life, moving 10,000 tons of gravel with a puny shovel.
The believer in Christ is “Called Up” and placed in the hot seat of a D9 dozer with twin steer. Your co-pilot is Jesus Christ and He says “Now Drive.” Now seated with Him in heavenly places with God all things become possible. Now that is what I call smart!!!

24.08.25 Jerusalem, A Cup That Sends All Reeling. Ps. Geoff Broekman

Jerusalem, A Cup That Sends All Reeling.
God is dealing, even in the current time, with the nations of the earth, as they gather around Jerusalem to seek its demise. But it is God who is drawing these nations into the valley of judgment.
The Jewish people continue to make “Aliyah” or to ‘Go up’ to Jerusalem to return to their historical homeland incurring global hostilities. It is in fact the nations and peoples that oppose Israel, who will incur God’s judgment, for it is His desire and plan that they do so. Jerusalem is a burdensome stone that will send many reeling.
