I have known Terry Rae since I was 8 years old. My father moved to Rosebank Bible College as a lecturer. Terry was senior pastor at Rosebank Union Church, where I was a member until I got married. I was best friends with his son, Andrew throughout my teen years.

In recent years, Terry has left church ministry and heads up an evangelistic, church planting and church leadership development ministry. I have found his recent sermons to reflect a deep and impressive shift in his outlook and insights.

He preached at our home church on 28 October 2008, and it was one of the best sermons I have heard in a while. He preached on Jesus healing the blind man, and the different perspectives different people had - the spiritual leaders (the established church), his parents, friends and the community, Jesus’ disciples, the blind man and Jesus Himself.

I think this is one of those definitive sermons - it defines a new way of looking at the world, at the church and at Jesus. I HIGHLY recommend you download and listen to it: get it here - right click and save as (7.8Mb, MP3 file).

Thanks, Terry!!
