A Different Perspective with Berni Dymet

I think we all have a packet of aspirin or some other form of painkiller in the cupboard. And that’s okay for the occasional headache. But these days, we’re into the instant fix. Rapid relief. And when it comes to deep pain, emotional pain - we sometimes focus on the symptom ? but what about the disease? Join Berni Dymet ? as he takes a look at pain, from a different perspective. Suppo...

As much as we hate to admit it - pain is a part of life. We all travel through pain sometimes. So - what is it, what causes it and what can we do about it? As surprising as it may seem, God actually has a lot to say about the pain in our lives. And some of it, we can avoid altogether.

Okay, so Jesus promised us an abundant life. And so often we’re head down, pedalling so hard, we lose sight of the big picture. If there is a heaven and a hell ? and eternity to go with them ? then the reality of heaven and hell is infinitely bigger than the reality of here and now. What about life then and there?

Sometimes as we’re travelling through things in life that we’d rather not be travelling through, we can get to imagining that any promise of God’s blessing, of an abundant life ? must be a promise for some time way off in the future. Certainly not for here and now! But what if I told you that He means it absolutely ? for here and now. Join Berni Dymet ? as he takes a look at this...

I spent a good chunk of my life looking for happiness, but I never found what I was looking for. Problem with happiness is that it’s linked to our circumstances - can’t be happy if something difficult is happening. Turns out, I wasn’t looking for happiness at all. What I longed for, was joy. It’s just back then, I didn’t realise that, because I didn’t know what...

I don’t think there’s a single person on this planet, who doesn’t want to have peace in their lives. A cessation of conflict and wrangling and fighting. Of course conflict comes in many different forms - the worst, is a conflict with God. Turns out that one of the things Jesus wants to bless us with, is peace.

My hunch is, whether we like it or not, that we’ve been conditioned into thinking that God’s blessing has something to do with being healthy, wealthy and wise, and yet God’s idea of blessing is something entirely different. It begins with the blessing of righteousness. Sounds odd, but there’s an abundance of blessing in this thing called 'righteousness' Join Berni Dymet ? a...

Life can be a grind, and frankly life can get us down. We all know that. And so our view of what life is, and what it should be, becomes all twisted - inside out and upside down. So it’s time to get things right way up again. It’s time to discover what God has to say about the life He wants for us.

One of the ways that God explains His relationship with us, is that He is our Father, and we are His children. And actually, when you think about it, a father-child relationship is, or at least should be - an incredible blessing. So, if God’s our Father, and we’re His children - shouldn’t that be ? a blessing? Join Berni Dymet ? as he takes a look at this whole 'abundant life' th...

If there’s one thing we can all agree on about Jesus is that He didn’t do anything by half measures. No - He threw Himself into things and when He said something, He meant it. So ? when He promised us an 'abundant life' ? the words in the original Greek language literally mean ? a super?abundant life! Told you ? He doesn’t do anything by halves! Join Berni Dymet ? as he takes a l...

Jesus promised each of his disciples ? that’s anyone who believes in Him ? an abundant life. Yeah, right!! But in the same breath ? in the very same verse in the Bible, he also says that there’s a thief ? and all the thief is interested in is to steal, kill and destroy. Well ? if Jesus talked about him ? this thief ? then maybe it’s worth you and me taking a closer look. Join Ber...

When we hear Jesus promising us an abundant life ? which is exactly what He does promise us ? it’s easy to think 'Yeah, right! Must be for someone else.' But actually ? it’s not. It’s a promise for everyone who decides to follow Jesus. Question is ? how does it work? How can we have an 'abundant life' Join Berni Dymet ? as he takes a look at this whole 'abundant life' thing from...

Miracles these days seem to be few and far between. You know, powerful, obvious miracles in our lives. I wonder why that is. Is it because Jesus has stopped doing miracles, or is it that we’ve stopped believing Him for them? Join Berni Dymet as he takes a look at God’s miracles in your life, from a different perspective.

You’ve heard that saying ’’life wasn’t meant to be easy’’. We all have and here’s the thing. When you hear it, it can be quite ? discouraging. Why? Well, (a) because we know it’s true and (b) because as you look at your life, your today, your tomorrow ? well, it’s just not a very encouraging thought now is it.

Let me ask you something: How well do you know God? Not an easy question, because we can’t see Him, touch Him, feel Him, the way we can with physical people around us? But let me ask you again ?

There are not all that many harder taskmasters in life than money. Money can become as addictive as heroin, and when that happens, our whole life becomes consumed with the desire to have more ? and the more we have, the more we discover that money simply cannot fill that deep void within.

Forgiving someone who’s hurt you is one of the hardest things to do. That forgiveness is incredibly important, in order to get on with your life, but nevertheless, it’s difficult to achieve.

You know what they say ? if all else fails, pray. And frankly, that’s how many people treat prayer. And yes God will show up in a crisis. But the most powerful form of prayer is pre-emptive prayer. The sort of prayer we pray ahead of time. And that’s the sort of prayer we’re going to chat about today on the program. Powerful prayer. Pre-emptive prayer. Join Berni Dymet as he take...

We sometimes behave as though there is a hierarchy of sins. Deep down we believe that some sins are worse than others, even though in God’s eyes, there is no such thing as a small sin. But there is one sin, that is bigger than almost any other, not because it’s any worse in God’s eyes, but because it spawns much of the evil in our lives. And that sin ? is pride.

When you’re sick, when something’s hurting, what you desperately want to do is to get better and stop the pain. And at that point, there is a huge risk. The risk is, that you throw an aspirin or two at the symptom, rather than dealing with the disease.

I’d like to share a secret with you ? I’m not naturally a generous person. But when I met this edgy, radical Jesus ? I knew that had to change. And when it did ? a whole new world opened up to me.
