Reality Bites
An Ambiguous End [10] - Neil Ryan
Date: 2008-06-29 amPassage: Jeremiah 42 & 43
Can you remember back to a time when you thought you were so right when in fact you were so wrong!
I was driving on Monday night passed Unley Shopping Centre and noticed cars banked up through the lights.
Up ahead someone had stopped in a no parking zone to get money out of an ATM.
Quite dangerous!

Dealers in Hope [7]- Neil Ryan
Date: 2008-06-08 AMPassage: Jeremiah 32:6-17
Weren’t you on the edge of your seats while I was reading this passage! Sometimes we think that every time we read the Bible the hairs on the back of our neck ought to stand up!
But when you read about who begat who, and what to do when you break out in boils or when your ox falls into a hole or who brought what to the Temple on the day of dedication – it doesn’t do much!
Living in an Alien World [6] - Neil Ryan
Date: 2008-05-11 amPassage: Jer 29:4-14
I was walking through shop at Marion this week. Young Mum walking along in front of me with a wide pusher. Either she had twins in it, or two very young children. But both of them were screaming! Very loudly! I couldn’t see the Mum’s face but I had that distinct sense that she could’ve just let go of the pusher and kept walking!! Then this older lady walked passed from the other direction, looked at these two little darlings in the pusher and she smiled this most compassionate and loving smile, as if to say, ‘Aren’t they just beautiful?’ I wondered how the Mum felt.
Incurable Wounds [5] - Neil Ryan
Date: 2008-05-04 amPassage: Jeremiah 15 15-21
I want to speak this week and next on matters that may appear to some of you to be on the edge of unbelief.
In fact I hope you will see that it is actually the very opposite.
Under Construction [4] - Neil Ryan
Date: 2008-04-20 amPassage: Jeremiah 18:1-11
I was particularly moved on Thursday when I saw a photo of group of people who had gathered at Elim Christian College in Auckland to mourn the death of 6 students and a teacher the day before in a kayaking trip that went terribly wrong.
The father of one of the girls who was drowned said what everyone else wanted to say,
“We are saying to God, Why has this happened? Where does this fit into your plan?

Beyond Conception [2] - Neil Ryan

Last week we introduced you to Jeremiah.
Let’s go back to the beginning.
The interesting thing about the introduction to this book is that it begins with 8 names.
Everyone of them are a study in themselves.
Jeremiah, Hilkiah, Bejamin,Josiah, Amon, Judah, Jehoiakim, Zedekiah.

Competing with Horses [1] - Neil Ryan
Date: 2008-03-30amPassage: Jeremiah 12:1-6
Sooner or later reality bites!
Have you noticed that?
No matter how much we disguise it, ignore it or play with it – sooner or later reality has the last word!
Growing older is like that…..
You can think positively, take out gym membership, dye your hair and dress like a teenager but sooner or later reality bites.
