Introduce Yourself
Hi there, if you listening from outside Risk Church or even from overseas, please take a moment to send us a quick message to say “Hi” and to tell us where you’re from. We’re very keen to know how far these messages are spreading and would love to hear from you. You can send a message using our contact form or email us using: info@riskchurch.org.nz. May God bless you with more of His Holy Spirit’s purity, power, grace and joy as you listen!
AM – The Resurrection Life
/In this Resurrection Sunday (Easter Sunday) message Pastor Rob reminds us how the resurrection is the pivot of the entire Gospel message. The Romans weren't to blame for Jesus’ death. We are. Our sin put Him on the cross. Jesus' teachings are important. But His death is paramount. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.
AM - What Are Your Love Languages?
/There is no recording for this morning’s service. But in summary, Ps Kaye spoke briefly about the five love languages:
Words of affirmation
Acts of service
Receiving gifts
Quality time
Physical touch
These come from the book The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman.
Then together, we each completed a quiz to figure out which specific love languages make us feel loved and appreciated.
You can do complete the quiz online (click here). There are quizzes for couples, singles, teens, and children.
Enjoy discovering what makes you and your family feel loved.
Note: There was no evening service.
PM – My Story: Andrew Ward's Testimony
/Andrew shares stories from his upbringing, from the formative years in his faith, and four watershed moments that have transformed his relationship with God. He opens up frankly about the tormenting, chronic pain of arthritis and how the Lord has helped him to stay deeply in love with Jesus in spite of that pain.
Lastly, he shares some of the practical things that he does to develop greater intimacy with the Lord, to be lead by the Spirit, and to receive multiple infillings of the Holy Spirit’s power.
As you listen, may the Holy Spirit come upon you and envelop you in God’s presence. May He fill you with even more of the Lord’s power. May He cause you to grow more deeply in love with Jesus. Amen
AM - Prayer Service for Christchurch Shootings
/No recording this morning. We postponed the planned service in order to pray for those impacted by the Christchurch shootings - the wounded, families and friends, the Christchurch community, and for New Zealand.
AM – God's Word On Witchcraft
/This is a ‘must listen’ for everyone who has had any exposure to witchcraft or the occult. Ps Kaye talks about how the enemy tries to hold onto us once we’ve got involved with him. But the great news is that Jesus has created a way to set you free of every hook that the devil has stuck into your life.
