Reedy Creek Church - Gold Coast, Australia

I just returned from the Reedy Creek Church located on the beautiful Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.  The series I conducted ran nightly from December 6-11 and concluded Saturday morning at the 11am service.  We had an amazing week as we explored the Great Controversy.  Starting in the book of Genesis, we looked at how the Great Controversy is more than just a cosmic battle, but a very personal battle that is raging in our lives.  The final message was based out of Revelation 3 as we looked at the condition of our lives as Jesus calls us out as being lukewarm.  Throughout it all, we discovered that the solution is a life surrendered to Jesus, but more than that, a life filled with the very Spirit of Jesus!!!!

I must say upon reflection of this amazing week, that I was thrilled to see the diversity of generations represented at each meeting.  The majority of audiences that I speak to these days are young adults (18-40’s).  I cannot begin to tell you how my heart was warmed to have many folks in their later years (how do I say that politely?) come up to me and tell me how much of a blessing the messages were to them personally.  Please know that I am not boasting in my flesh as through my years as an evangelist I have received my fair share of criticism.  While I am sure that the messages, or better the methodology in which I preach, didn’t sit well with everyone, I am deeply appreciative that God used this broken vessel to deliver His message of hope and comfort.

God bless you Pastor Geoff and the Reedy Creek.  He is up to something amazing amongst you all.  It is my hope and prayer that He will see fit to arrange something for 2010!!!!

Until then… May He who began a good work in you, complete it!

In His Service,

Matthew
