Matthew 6:5-8 5 “ And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you… Keep Reading >>

I saw this billboard in Hobart yesterday and I have also seen it in Launceston. It’s slogan encapsulates the modern mind that has rejected God. “Love your life” seems wise; enjoy all the pleasures, wonder and items you can possess; “Feel good about yourself because you are worth it.” This… Keep Reading >>

Click here to visit Daniel Chapman's blog I am passionate about communicating the free and universal offer of salvation in Jesus Christ alone. I have believed in Jesus since the 1980′s but never really understood grace till 2005-2006. I can remember, however, that from the day I first believed, I have desired to see people saved. I often prayed fervently for the lost and even studied current evangelism resources but I never really shared the gospel with anyone. In December 2005 friends introduced me to the Way of the Master DVD series. I instantly knew this was the missing information I was longing to hear. The Law is the key that helps people in our affluent society understand their true need – righteousness! Thankfully, this teaching also started me on a path to learning about reformed doctrine and understanding about grace. I started to listen and read great bible teachers like John Piper, DA Carson, RW Glenn, RC Sproul and John MacArthur. I started to learn about reformed statements like the ones referred to in this page, and then got blown away when I would open the word and see things I never noticed before. God’s grace and His work in saving sinners made a new deep impression on me. I am now excited when I share the gospel with friends and strangers because I know they are hearing the biblical gospel that can save them. I am a Father of 3 children and attend Church with my wife Angela at The Branch in Kings Meadows.
