Bayside goes Bonkers for the Rufus' from Honkers!

31st May 2009

Yes, a corny title we know... but we couldn't help it!

With the promise of a meat pie, Vegemite on toast and the formidable Tim-Tam-Slam, the Rufi (hee hee) clan (Ryan, Kylie and kids) were successfully lured into Bayside's Sunday gathering once again. Hooray for us!!

Seriously though, we were totally blessed and stoked to have them be with us all the way from Hong Kong (香港) and share such an awesome message – a message which is affecting tens of thousands of lives worldwide!

Here's a snippet from Ryan's message, titled “Have You Seen Your Salvation?”

Encounter Easter w/ Bayside Kidz

12th April 2009

Matthew 21:16: "...and Jesus replied to them, “Yes, have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of babes and unweaned infants, You have made (provided) perfect praise?' [Ps. 8:2]”

With presentations including a song & dance and a drama depicting the cross of Christ bridging us to the Father, the kids of Bayside put in a tremendous effort leading the service.

The highlight for many was hearing of the various ways that the Holy Spirit has been speaking to the children. These include visions, words & scriptures, all of which the kids have been recording in their personal journals.

We look forward to seeing a continued increase in their relationship with the Holy Spirit, and a greater clarity in hearing His voice.

Have no fear... Rattus is here!

2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love and sound judgement." (Holman CSB)

Loud and confident in God's word, Greg boldly proclaimed the freedom we have from our fears, because of our position IN Christ.

With empowering Truths, he rallied the troupes into rising up and taking their rightful place (in victory) in the ongoing war against fear.

Prophetic Input

8th March 2009

Matthew 10:41: "He who receives and welcomes and accepts a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophets reward..." (AMP)

We welcomed, we accepted, and we received a GREAT reward!

Led by the Spirit, Mike integrated a clear teaching on the prophetic and a demonstrative outworking of this gift. Many of us were encouraged by the personal words spoken, and the accuracy of the intimate details.

Kindness and Kite surfing

25th January 2009

Isaiah 54:10: "For though the mountains shall depart and the hills be shaken or removed, yet My love and kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace and completeness be removed, says the Lord, Who has compassion on you." (AMP)

An open heart; an awesome God!

Lee-Anne Benn encouraged us with personal insight and revelation as she testified to the ongoing and relentless kindness of our God.
