Romans 8:28-30 (ESV) 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
Acts 2:22-24 (ESV) 22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
John 14:6 (ESV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.Luke 18:19 (ESV) 19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.Romans 3:28 (ESV) 28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Matthew 7:21-23 (ESV) 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
It is very important for any church to be committed to the truth of the whole of the Bible, the fullness of God's revelation. This is what bears fruit to maturity. This is what enables the true gospel to be known in its substance. It enables Christians to be firmly established in the truth of God and in the knowledge of His grace.Sadly today there are many ministers who are ignorant or ill-equipped or even unbelieving, and so they don't feed their congregations the whole counsel of God. At the same time, there are many Christians who are content with a superficial understanding of God's Word. They don't really want to be taught, and they're actually depriving themselves of what they need to grow and mature. Join us at our Sunday service at 10 AM at the corner of Bentinck and Kerr Streets to hear all of God's Word taught. Bible studies are at 7 PM Tuesdays and 10 AM Thursdays at the corner of Kerr and Bentinck Streets, Ballina.Contact Pastor Marcus Wright on0421 158 940 or pastormarcus@ballinabaptist.org.au to join a Bible study group or for more information.#ballina #scripture #WordOfGod #maturity #growthmindset
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NASB) 13 Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love.
Ephesians 5:22-33 (ESV)22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

How do we discern false teaching and spot false teachers?2 Timothy 3:10-11 (ESV) 10 You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, 11 my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me.False teachers not only teach a false gospel that says that we must contribute towards our salvation because Jesus was not fully God and fully man, but they show they are disqualified as true teachers and shepherds of God by their ungodly character. This is why being a member of a local church is so important. We get to see the character of the teaching Elders and Deacons. You can't do that by just listening or watching a church service over the internet. Join us at our Sunday service at 10 AM at the corner of Bentinck and Kerr Streets. Bible studies are 7 PM Tuesdays and 10 AM Thursdays at the corner of Kerr and Bentinck Streets, Ballina.Contact Pastor Marcus Wright on0421 158 940 or pastormarcus@ballinabaptist.org.au to join a Bible study group or for more information.#FalseTeachings #FalseGospel #FalseProphets #Falseapostles #character
Matthew 4:17 (ESV) 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
