The advertising in The Weekend Sun was very very good and I am extremely pleased with all the calls I have had since placing the ads. I will continue to advertise with such a great response.
The Classified Section works like a directory. If you have a regular appearance in the Classified Section, people know where to look for your services when they need them. The Weekend Sun has a very popular Classified Section that is constantly building, and becoming a vital advertising tool. Another benefit to advertising in the Classifieds, is that we can always find something that will cater to suit your advertising needs and budget.
We can also fit Classified Advertisements in right up until the very last minute of going to print, which means if you have something urgent, you can usually count on the Classified Section to get it into the paper. Colour advertising is also very affordable in the Classified Section. It costs just $25 +gst extra to add colour to your advert – a fantastic investment to increase the profile of your advert.

The Weekend Sun
God Defend New Zealand Last September, in response to God’s encouragement, I contacted every church leader and every church in our nation that I could find. The purpose was to invite every church leader and every church to commit to pray through the month of November for a move of God that would lead to revival in our nation. The encouragement was for them to pray for the sake of the church in our nation and for the sake of our nation, in whatever format worked for them. Revival is a church word. The unsaved have never had life; it is only the church who have had life and who are in need of the revival fires of God. As the church goes, so goes the nation and our nation at its worst needs the church at its best. “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” More than 2000 churches and church leaders were contacted – twice.
I’m sure only a few were missed. Less than 1 per cent responded positively and were committed to praying through the month of November last year. A significantly higher percentage responded negatively, some abusively. Some church leaders stated that there was no need for revival in the church in New Zealand. One church leader was offended that I would suggest that God judges nations! The vast majority of church leaders and churches responded by not responding. In Ephesians 5:16, Paul speaks about redeeming the time “because the days are evil”. Vance Havner wrote that the days are evil because of anarchy in the world, apostasy in the church and apathy in the individual believer. John R. Rice stated that present-day wickedness, apostasy and modern civilisation cannot prevent revival. Colin Urquhart says revival is about God, His children meeting with God, and the nation being confronted with Him. Dr Andrew Murray wrote that “a revived church is the only hope for a dying world”. Come Lord by Your Spirit. Meet Your children and confront our nation with Your truth, Your presence and Your power. We need You. Visit: www.revivalfire.org.nz and www.jesusfirst.org.nz. See you on Sunday.

Ha
Derech
By Peter Whitcombe, Jesus First Church
Discussing Christians as ‘Exiles’ In the fourth Century the Roman Emperor, Constantine the Great, adopted Christianity as the state religion and the era known as Christendom began. Throughout the medieval period and through to early modernity, Christianity held a position of sociological, political, moral and cultural influence (even ‘power’) that was certainly not characteristic of the first three centuries of the Christian movement. Over time, Christendom gradually gave way to secularism. In 1961 Gabriel Vahanian published ‘The Death of God’ arguing that modern secular culture in most of Western Civilization had lost all sense of the sacred or any sense of providence and that for the modern mind: ‘God was dead’. Appreciating that we now live in a postChristian context, Walter Brueggemann encourages Christians to understand their contemporary culture using the metaphor of ‘exile’. Not in the sense of geography but rather socially, culturally and morally. In a post-Christian society it should not be surprising
sunday at 10 10am am thursday at 7pm
that contemporary culture, governmental legislation, mainstream media, and even social media promote ideals some would consider ‘un-Christian’. It should be expected and need not be cause for alarm. The ‘exile’ despair is not a valid option, nor is assimilation. Christians must creatively live out in their world faith, hope and love. Don’t sigh and despair. Don’t point the finger and judge. Don’t fire off Bible verses as if they somehow have sway in a secular context. Rather creatively live out the counter narrative of the Bible. Let the light of your life lived in Christ shine all the more brightly as testimony and witness. By Joseph McAuley, lead pastor, St Lukes Church.
