Here at Moe New Life Christian Centre, we share a rich heritage with the CRC Churches International. Part of this written heritage is the work of Pastor Leo Harris, the founder of the CRC. Over the next couple of months, it is my intention to re-visit some of this great teaching, and see how it still applies, and still holds water several decades since his writings were first published. We will enjoy going deeper as we explore “Five Keys of Authority”, “Your Faith is Power” and “Victory over Satan”. It is so important to know God’s Word, and how it applies to our life. I can’t wait to share these wonderful truths over the coming weeks and pray that the Holy Spirit will open up our spiritual eyes and ears and make our heart ready to receive fresh revelation from His Word.
We are baptising several people the first Sunday in August. Baptism is such an important step in the life of a Christian. The Bible gives every believer a clear command to be baptised. Acts 2:28 says, “Repent and be baptised every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.” Baptism symbolises the washing away of sins and the beginning of a new life joined to Jesus.
It is a significant milestone in your Christian life. marks the separation from the past and indicates our stepping into our new life as a Christian, leaving the old life behind. We look forward to sharing this day with our new believers and pray that God blesses each one as you prepare for this most important day.
August marks the last official month of winter.
As we look forward to the warmer weather, we also look forward to the new season of refreshing and revival as we continue to pray for our streets and expect the continued moving of the Holy Spirit over our church, our community and our nation.

This was our Sunday morning service on 21st July, with Pastor Tom Gordon as the guest speaker.
I have wrestled with what to say – if anything – about the Israel Falou case. I am sure we all have our own thoughts and opinions on it, and I do not even want to offer my own opinion here. What I have decided to do today is to just say what I have found helpful when I have felt that I am under attack or challenged in any area of my life. I go to the Lord. I go to prayer. I go to scripture. I ask the Lord for wisdom and I ask him for a strategy to overcome the situation. He is good and faithful, and always provides a way.
Psalm 34:7 says, “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him and delivers them.” And Psalm 32:7 says, “You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.” God is our Defender. He is our deliverer and He is our “very present help in time of trouble”. (Psalm 46:1).
It is important to remember that we “do not fight against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers in high places”. Behind many of the things we face is a spiritual battle. I agree, there are times these battles take us into the scary space of speaking up when we see injustice, bullying and social discrimination. In those times, we need to be sure of the battle, sure of the tricky wiles of the enemy, and sure of our standing and strategy in God. We can ask for wisdom, and he will give it to us in bucket loads!
The same God who delivered Moses and the children of Israel from the Egyptians, the same God who delivered Daniel from the mouth of the lion, the same God who delivered David from his enemies, this same God is with us today. “In You, O Lord do I put my trust, let me never be ashamed; deliver me in Thy Righteousness, bow down your ear to me…. Psalm 31. (why don’t you take 5 minutes to read through this psalm and meditate on God’s word today.)
When we call upon the Lord, we can be assured he has heard us, and has both the power and the desire to deliver us.
