Tackling racism, prejudice and social divisions in our nation needs more than just words - it takes a Kingdom mindset to build the rainbow nation we all dream of.
This sermon outline by Brian Helsby (Heartlines Project Director, former National Director of Youth for Christ and husband of Megan Helsby) will inspire and challenge us to act on racism in order to build the Kingdom.

Upon coming to the Promised Land, the Hebrews must choose whether to embrace the future God has led them to, or to turn away. The metaphor is for the Kingdom of God that we as Christians profess. "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done..." but when it means risking our comfort and convenience, will we too turn away?

A lecture I gave in preparation for Foundation Day. It mainly focuses on Moses and Joshua's courses looking at the parallels and challenges between that time and this time. Also looking at some issues in the period of the monarchy and Temple.

This is a study of Jesus as the glory of His people. He was the glory of God coming to bless Israel with even greater light than that which enlightened the Gentiles.

Rainbow Storage is a group of techniques to store digital data in some colours, colour combinations and symbols in Rainbow Format. The technique is used to achieve high-density storage. With the help of Rainbow system we would be watching full-length high definition videos from a piece of paper! The main attraction is the cheap paper. The Rainbow technology is feasible because printed text, readable by the human eye does not make optimal use of the potential capacity of paper to store data. By printing the data encoded in a denser way much higher capacities can be achieved
Maybe sometimes we was looking a beautiful rainbow in the sky and surely there was someone who think about how rainbow is formed. In this presentation, we will know it could happened in the sky. Let's check it out!

Theomatics and The Big Picture by Professor Truthprofessortruth
The Theomatics code in the Bible proves conclusively that every person who is born into this world - pre-existed in heaven - we are the fallen angels who were thrown out and cast down to earth. Literraly. That is why the Bible teaches that men and women are born sinners.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

What does God say?
>> God loves diversity - Nature
Incredible variety in creation
8.7 million species that inhabit our planet. Nearly ten thousand different kinds of birds, nearly eight
thousand different reptiles, nearly five thousand different mammals , over twenty three thousand
different kinds of fish, four hundred thousand different flowers , one hundred thousand species of
tree.
The diversity in creation is extravagant.
Why so much diversity? Giraffe - thoroughbred horse / proboscis monkey - duck-billed platypus
Why 400 000 different flowers, 40 000 would have been more than enough?
Creation reveals the glory of God

>> God loves diversity - Heaven
Revelation 7:9-12
9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and
language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their
hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
This prophetic picture of the church calls us to become more like it.
It challenges the church on earth to become more like the church in heaven, a church that
is united by its diversity rather than divided by it.
>> God loves diversity - on Earth
Why should we embrace diversity?
Scripture instructs us to:
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
Galatians 3:28
Picture of Paul entering a church and wondering why the divisions
“For Jesus himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility….His purpose
was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the
cross” Ephesians 2:14-16
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are
my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35

Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen,
cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 1 John 4:20
Story of the Good Samaritan: Luke 10: 25-37 Who is my neighbour?
Man travelling down from Jerusalem to Jericho. Got mugged by a band of thieves. Left half dead.
Several travellers- Priest & Levite (religious ruler) passed by but ignored him. A Samaritan
(foreign national) stopped, bandaged him up, took him to the nearest inn. Paid for his care.
Jesus used the story where the foreign national is the hero, to explain what it means to be
a good neighbour.
Diversity enriches our lives. We learn from each other
We have different gifts, ways of looking at things that enable us to fulfill our life & Christian mission
