The revival ignited by the evangelist and Pastor Richard Holland at the invitation of Eric and Olga Coates. He preached the message of salvation in Jesus Christ. And Richard was the founder of what was originally. In Melbourne, Waverley Mission Church, that later became City Life Church, and still is City Life Church to today, a mega church down there.

Pastor Eric's strong, assertive leadership style reflected, the common approach of pioneering pastors in the 70s and the 80s. Those who responded to the call of God on their life to plant flourishing churches across Australia during that era. [01:01:23] (17 seconds)


He was the person that first put faith and trust in me when he appointed me as a youth pastor in about 1999 I kind of say sometimes 1998 but I don't think it was that it was 99 I think it was in the latter part of that because I was never sacked I take it as a compliment that I must have been doing an okay job. [01:05:11] (22 seconds)


I was raised in a church that was full of faith and I like to believe and to encourage us that we would remain a people of faith and that requires us to be actually diligent though in in it diligent in the journey requires that we be diligent and active in the journey of life as living as a Christian.

Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God's word by the power of God's word he spoke and an invisible realm gave birth the something that is seen from an invisible realm God spoke and it's his word created out of the invisible something that is invisible the visible touchable.

Faith was exercised when you first believed. So you cannot tell me that I don't have any faith. You cannot say I don't have faith for anything. Yes, you have. Yes, you did. You did. You had faith when you first believed. [01:13:55] (20 seconds)


So when I talk about faith, my Christian life, I am a person of faith. Hey, we've got to understand that that faith goes into. Walking with the Lord in every aspect of our life. Not just the holy sacred moments when I sit in church on a Sunday. No, it's a whole of life. [01:19:03] (22 seconds)


Faith is essential. Faith is essential. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. So as I said, if we don't have... If we don't have... If you say, I'm not a person of faith, then you're just going to say my life. You're not going to say my Christian life. [01:22:24] (16 seconds)


Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord. I hear that echoing in my spirit. I hear it echoing from the scriptures and speaking loudly and profoundly to us today. And I say, well, you've been trying to win something in your own strength. [01:35:47] (25 seconds)
