Tim continues our interrupted series on 1 John with some reflections on Chapter 4. Why is it good news that Jesus has come "in the flesh", as a human? How do we dwell in that truth?
The lectionary sets readings from 1 John for the weeks after Easter. Before this sermon, Tim played the first few minutes of the Bible Project overview of 1 John, and then dives into 3 issues that arose for him from Chapters 1 & 2. - who is this God John is passionate about? - what does it mean to walk in the light? - how do we get into the light?

Tim continues our series on the archetypal stories of the Old Testament with a look at human vocation in Genesis 2. What can we learn from taking seriously the patterns of life in The Garden of Eden for life today? Texts: Genesis 2 John 20.10-18 Note: Tim assumes people have watched the following Bible Project video : https://bibleproject.com/explore/video/priests-of-eden/
In Episode IV of this series on The Church, Tim goes off lectionary to outline the kind of behaviour Paul expects of Christian communities. If a church is too big to tease the vicar, does it mean it's too big? Readings Romans 12.1-16 Matthew 12:46-50
If worship is about offering our whole lives to God (Romans 12.1-2), what's so special about worship services? Can't we just worship Monday to Friday, and get a sleep-in on Sunday? Readings: Revelation 4 Revelation 5 Mark 12.28-34
The series on The Church continues, with this Trinity Sunday exploration of The Trinity & the Church. How does the doctrine of the Trinity empower and encourage us to live and witness as church? Readings: 2 Corinthians 13.-11-14 Psalm 86.8-13 Matthew 28.16-20
Readings for Sixth Sunday of Easter 1 Peter 3.13-22 Acts 17.22-31 John 14.15-21 In this sermon, Rev. Dr. Tim McKenzie follows Paul to Athens, and wonders how his preaching methodology here helps build bridges for the gospel into Athenian culture. Or does it? Tim notes that the people of Athens were a tough crowd; it's one of Paul's least successful preaching gigs in Acts. Might his invocation of Greek poetry and philosophy help us proclaim our faith in secular, 21st C Wellington (supposedly one of the most secular cities in the world)?
Fasting! The Lenten discipline we all want to avoid, or perhaps reduce to avoiding chocolate. But what is the logic behind this ancient discipline? Tim guides us through fasting in this new series on the 7 Habits of Occasionally Effective Christians... Readings 2 Samuel 12.15-23 Acts 13.1-3 Matthew 6.16-18
In an episode idea from generous donor Tim McKenzie, this week we talk about hags, especially their penchant for deals and their lethal abilities. What makes hags tick?

In the telling of the Christmas story before the sermon, we read the recipe for Christmas. Ingredient 10 appeared to be missing, but it was written in invisible ink. When we heated it over the Christ candle, we discovered that the missing ingredient was God's love. Listen on...
Tim explores what the Kingdom looks like in the practice of hospitality. What is hospitality, and what isn't it? And what about hospitality is conducive to the spread of the good news? Tim references a John Mark Comer sermon that explores some of these issues really well - see https://bridgetown.church/teaching/preaching-the-gospel/part-3-practice-hospitality/ Year C, Ordinary 22 Luke 7.1, 7-14 Hebrews 13.1-8, 16-16 Jeremiah 2.4-13
Tim McKenzie ditches his weather forecasting career to ask what it means that Jesus came to bring division, not peace. The readings were the lectionary readings for the day: Isaiah 5.1-7 Luke 12.49-56
In Galatians 4, Paul explores the idea of captivity to the "elemental principles/powers of the world". For some, that's captivity to the Law. For others, it's captivity to "gods who are not gods". In either case, Paul urges the Galatian converts to stay free. What might that mean for 21st Century people?
Galatians is Paul's loudest, fiercest, most polemical letter. Rev. Dr. Tim McKenzie gives us a short overview of the letter, and highlights three things to look out for as we read it. Earlier in the service, we had watched the most excellent Bible Project overview of Galatians, and Tim refers to that a couple of times in the sermon.
Tim McKenzie opens the Why Be a Christian series by sketching four stories that people live by, out of the many available. Why do these stories appeal to people? And how do they stack up against the Christian story, the truest story of all? Note: this sermon was rerecorded after the fact, as the original recording failed Romans 1.1-6 Luke 6.39-49

How do I know God? Why all this Trinity stuff? Christians often feel befuddled by the doctrine of the Trinity. Rev. Dr. Tim McKenzie suggests that our challenge is to know the God indicated by the doctrine, rather than focusing on knowing the doctrine for its own sake. Psalm 8 Romans 5.1-5 John 16.12-15
Why on earth, since Jesus prayed for the church to be one, i it so divided? Is there any hope? Rev. Dr. Tim McKenzie preaches on the lectionary readings for Easter 7, 2022. Acts 16.16-34 Revelation 22.12-17, 20-21 John 17:20-26
Easter 3, Acts 9.1-6, Revelation 5.11-14, John 21.1-19 Listen carefully, and you'll hear the epistle reader introduce "Revelation Chapter 5" as "Revolution Chapter 5". Which is about right. Tim McKenzie preaches on Singing the Lamb's Song. The witness of history is that those who've been prepared to do this are truly revolutionaries.
This week we continue ANZAC Month with a look at a beautifully shot epic which tells the story of the Australian Light Horse and their charge at the Battle of Beersheba. 1987's The Lighthorsemen features a strong Australian cast including Jon Black, Peter Phelps, John Walton, Tim McKenzie, Tony Bonner, Sigrid Thornton and Anthony Andrews. Directed by Simon Wincer and with cinematography by Dean Semler the film climaxes with a magnificent charge which more than makes up for the film's flaws.

A Christchurch employment lawyer believes Countdown's pledge to have more Maori and Pasifika leaders - might breach the law.The supermarket chain is committed to achieving 20 per cent of its senior leadership roles filled by Maori and Pasifika by 2025.Canterbury Chambers lawyer Tim McKenzie told Chris Lynch the law says an employer discriminates if they refuse to offer the same work to other employees with the same qualifications and experience - regardless of race.“That could result in personal grievances from non-Maori and Pasifika who aren't getting the same opportunities.”LISTEN ABOVE

Phil Perzek and Tim McKenzie on February 19, 2010
Scott talks with Dave and Kevin prior to his June 6th bout at Strikeforce Lawlor vs Shields. In the early half of his career, Smith – fighting at heavyweight – compiled victories in the International Fighting Championships and Gladiator Challenge shows across the United States. While successful in the smaller promotions, Smith's first major appearance in the mixed martial arts world came in the World Extreme Cagefighting organization. Smith entered a WEC light heavyweight tournament with limited name recognition, but was branded by experts as the dark horse of the competition. [1] Smith defeated WEC veteran Tim McKenzie in the semi-finals. With that victory, Smith was slated to fight Justin Levens in the tournament finals; Levens, however, was halted on doctor's advice due to a shoulder injury he sustained in his semi-final bout. The tournament alternate, Tait Fletcher, was brought into the championship round instead. Smith made short work of Fletcher, scoring a first-round technical knockout to become the WEC Light Heavyweight Champion. Smith would defend his championship from Justin Levens at WEC 18 before scheduling a fight with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in April 2006, moving down a weight class to fight David Terrell at UFC 59. The fight – marked with questionable officiating – ended in controversial fashion, prompting Smith to file a complaint with the California State Athletic Commission. [2] Smith was then seen as a middleweight contestant on The Ultimate Fighter: The Comeback, where he quickly lost his quarterfinal matchup against Travis Lutter. Smith appeared on the season finale, knocking out Pete Sell in the second round of a very exciting fight in a sequence that saw Smith sustain a hard punch to the liver, and throw the bout-winning knockout punch before falling to the ground in pain. Smith lost his next fight in the UFC by decision against Patrick Cote at UFC 67. [3] More recently, Smith defeated Troy Miller by technical knockout at Palace Fighting Championship 2 in Lemoore, California. He lost against Ed Herman at UFC 72. Herman submitted Smith with a rear naked choke at 2:25 in the second round after Herman landed a nasty elbow on Smith in the first round covering his face in blood. Smith made his EliteXC debut on February 16th knocking out Kyle Noke seven seconds into round two. The victory earned him a title shot against Robbie Lawler. The bout was declared a no contest after an accidental poke in the eye in the third round. The first two rounds were so exciting that Gary Shaw awarded both fighters their win bonuses and announced an immediate rematch. Smith lost the subsequent rematch to Lawler via TKO on July 26, 2008 at EliteXC: Unfinished Business. At Strikeforce: Destruction, Smith took a fight with Terry Martin at one week notice and beat Martin in the 1st round by KO.
