Move Seats For A Better View

June 05, 2022 00:00 - 37 minutes

The disciples had the best seats with the best view of Jesus. We can often "complain about the view," yet are reluctant to make a move ourselves to see better. Are we desperate for more of God? Will we be daring to step out? Sometimes the best view is all but a seat away - we just have to be daring to move!

A Genuine Heart of Worship

May 29, 2022 00:00 - 36 minutes

Worship can often be associated with music and song however this is just merely one expression of what it truly is. When we begin to understand that worship is as infinite as the God whom it was designed for, we may begin to grasp its significance and value in our relationship with God. Are we merely going through the motions or choosing to engage in worship in every circumstance with all that we are? This much and more is explored as we continue our series - First Things First!

What Is Your Perspective?

May 22, 2022 00:00 - 31 minutes

God loves us all individually and personally. His love empowers us and is the foundation on which the church is built. What is our perspective of ourselves in comparison to what God says? Do we view ourselves through His eyes? Tune in to discover more.

Repentance - The Key To Abundant Life In Jesus

May 15, 2022 00:00 - 28 minutes

Repentance is often a word we shy away from. However, its importance and value cannot be overlooked. When we understand the significance of repentance, we can come into a much deeper relationship with Jesus who wants us to experience the fullness of life He offers.

Choose Whom You Will Serve

May 08, 2022 00:00 - 24 minutes

We can often look for comfort in things that are temporary and have no lasting value. However, when we understand that God cares for us, and wants the best for us, we in turn move to put Him first, serving Him above all else, because we come to the realisation that He alone can meet our every need.

First Things First

May 01, 2022 00:00 - 33 minutes

Have you ever started something, with good intentions to see it through, only to stop due to experiencing obstacles? Quite often we can neglect that which God is asking us to build. What if the very thing we are choosing to say "no" to is the very thing that will be a source of blessing for both ourselves and others? What if we chose to opt in rather than opt out? What if we put the "First Thing First?"

The Nature of God's Love

April 24, 2022 00:00 - 38 minutes

Every heart cries out and yearns for love. If love is not received, it develops bitterness and resentment within us. Why is the love of God so important? How does it differ to our own human portrayals of love? When we realise the nature of God's love, we can begin to understand just how awe-inspiring He really is.

The Necessity of Jesus and the Cross

April 17, 2022 00:00 - 27 minutes

The Good News is often misunderstood or often misrepresented. What is the significance of the cross of Christ? What does it really mean for us? Alex helps bring clarity on the necessity of Jesus and the cross.

The Beautiful Disciplines

April 10, 2022 00:00 - 26 minutes

We may know what disciplines are for our benefit but are we actively living them out in our day to day? Hannah, with the help of our Youth, bring insight on some key disciplines that will aid us in our walk with God.

What It Means To Win

March 27, 2022 00:00 - 27 minutes

In the Christian walk, it is often more about the journey than it is the prize. In his final service with us, Tyler shares on what it means to win and the key principles we can apply to our day-to-day lives. *We apologise for the drop in audio for 6 minutes of this recording.

The Importance of Discipline

March 20, 2022 00:00 - 33 minutes

Discipline unlocks certain key attributes that will enable us to run our race for God and reach the finish line with no regrets! Are we willing to get out of the starting blocks and apply disciplines that will bear good fruit in the long run? Sometimes in order to see transformation in our lives we need to surrender what we think we need for what God knows we need!

Running to Win

March 13, 2022 00:00 - 27 minutes

Paul encourages us to "run in such a way as to get the prize!" How are we running our race? Are we running to win? When we recognise God is calling us to be the best we can be in our relationship with Him, the question we should ask is, "What does it look like to win in this relationship?"

Born for Significance

March 06, 2022 00:00 - 27 minutes

We often compare ourselves with the successes and significances of others. Most people do not want to be significant out of fear of being put down for having their head above water. What if we saw ourselves as God sees us? What if by viewing ourselves through His eyes, we redefine our lives, living out the destiny God has designed for each one of us!?

Courageously Taking Control of Your Destiny

February 27, 2022 00:00 - 31 minutes

We are body, soul, and spirit and as such must look after each part. Though we may well look after our bodies, and our souls (mind), we may forget to cultivate our spiritual lives. As believers, we are called to radiate the love of God to those around us, but are only able to do this if we invest in our "spirit-man!" Tune in to discover more.

Courageously Living in Reverse

February 20, 2022 00:00 - 23 minutes

We often like going forward but we don't like going backwards. However, there are moments when God calls us to go in reverse. Though it's not always encouraging when we're told to go back the way we came, comfort comes in knowing that God sends us back for a reason. Tyler concludes our series on Courageous Living by revealing how this played out for Elijah and what we can learn from it.

Courage To Navigate Through The Valleys

February 13, 2022 00:00 - 36 minutes

We all have or will face moments that challenge us; when we feel really low. Where we look in these moments and what we allow into our hearts and minds will define whether or not we make it to the other side. Elijah faced a moment of despair where he was in a depressive state of mind. However, breakthrough comes in the realisation that it is God's habit to make a way when there seems to be no way!

Courageously Living In The Gap

February 06, 2022 00:00 - 24 minutes

We're living between two realities - the world we currently live in and the Kingdom to come! However, the challenge is to understand how we are to live in and bridge the gap between the two. Elijah demonstrates how this is possible.

Courage in Sacrifice

January 23, 2022 00:00 - 28 minutes

We all, at some point or another, are faced with a choice: To choose God or to choose to be apart from Him! Israel faced the same situation when Elijah confronted them on which "god" they will follow completely. It's in these moments where we realise that in order to fully trust in and live for God, personal sacrifice is required - a courage that depends wholly on the Lord and not ourselves.

Courageous Surrender

January 16, 2022 00:00 - 24 minutes

When faced with a desperate situation, how do we respond? Often the biggest battle we have to navigate is the one to relinquish personal control and surrender completely to God. As we continue our series, we uncover how surrender can also be a mark of great courage!

Courage Displayed

January 09, 2022 00:00 - 30 minutes

Elijah was a man of great courage. When we first encounter him in Scripture, we see this courage displayed straight away in his response to God's instruction. Tyler unpacks this encounter with helpful and challenging applications that are useful for us today.

Peace and The Light of Life

December 24, 2021 00:00 - 12 minutes

Jesus came to bring peace when nothing else could supply it; a peace that surpasses all understanding. Furthermore, Jesus came as the light of the world, that illuminates darkness and helps us see clearly His greatest purpose for each one of us. The Coming Promise is here.

Joy

December 19, 2021 00:00 - 19 minutes

When we look at Jesus and His impact on the world, descriptive words are always used. Jesus coming to this world is a source of great joy. As we look to the greatest gift given, the most significant event in history, may we be filled with this great joy for all to behold.

Hope

December 05, 2021 00:00 - 21 minutes

When we understand the fullness of the coming Christ, it brings and gives hope even today! What was so significant about the prophecy of this coming King? What is this hope? Why not take a listen and be encouraged.

Leaving A Faith Legacy

November 28, 2021 00:00 - 30 minutes

We all will leave a legacy - good or bad. As we conclude our series, we see how Paul, nearing the end of his life, wants to leave a good legacy and so does his upmost to encourage Timothy to persevere in living a life of faith. How do you want to live now? How do you want to finish? What will your legacy be? Take heart and hear Paul's final words.

Live Out The Calling of God

November 21, 2021 00:00 - 20 minutes

As believers, we live for the audience of one; God! Rather than living for the approval of others, we live to serve and proclaim all that Christ is. Paul encouraged the young leader Timothy to persevere in his calling to preach Christ. That same encouragement is also true for us - to not follow our own desires but embrace the message of Christ fully!

The Value of Scripture

November 14, 2021 00:00 - 28 minutes

In this world, we can forget the value of something that has been entrusted through generations. The same is true of Scripture. To stand for Jesus does not mean that we should go with the flow. God has called us to live for Him, not for ourselves. When we begin to grasp Scripture, it's origin, value and effect, we can start to realise how pertinent it is to the very lives we live.

Instructions For Believers

November 07, 2021 00:00 - 27 minutes

Being a believer is difficult. Jesus never said following Him would be easy. For this reason, we must be wary of the world we live in, its influence and pull, as well as how to navigate as faithful servants of Christ. As we continue our series, Tyler breaks down the key instructions Paul gave Timothy to continue on in a fallen world and how they equally apply to us.

What's Your Inner Climate Like?

October 31, 2021 00:00 - 29 minutes

Climate change is not a new agenda but one that can often be overlooked. Similarly, the state of our inner climate can often be forgotten as we navigate each and every day. As we continue our series, we focus on three key questions that challenge us to look within and assess whether or not our inner being is well maintained.

Guard The Good Deposit

October 24, 2021 00:00 - 28 minutes

If you follow a pattern you should reach or achieve the final result that the pattern was intended for. However, failure to follow the pattern will mean the result won't be as intended. As we continue our series, we uncover the value of following the pattern of "sound teaching" that enables us to live out our faith effectively and, as a result, also build and equip others up in their faith.

Holding On When Others Are Letting Go

October 17, 2021 00:00 - 36 minutes

Many are abandoning the Gospel! The Apostle Paul did not want it to die in his hands, so he passed it over to Timothy to carry it on. As believers, we are called to not be ashamed of the Gospel we hold to, but be willing to suffer for it to be proclaimed - for it is the power of God and life-giving! Why not take a listen as Wish continues our series in 2 Timothy!

Fan into Flame

October 10, 2021 00:00 - 26 minutes

Timothy had been entrusted with a sincere faith that had been passed down through his family line - something that was genuine and real; a relationship with Jesus! What do we do with that which we have been entrusted with? In this opening week, Tyler shares the responsibility we have to fan into flame the gift of God which has been deposited in each of our lives.

Made for More - Week 4

September 26, 2021 00:00 - 28 minutes

We are called to give! However, giving is often felt as a "must do" rather than a "want to!" What does it mean to excel in the grace of giving? Are we willing to grow, learn and develop in this act? In our final message in this series, we are challenged to understand the concept of giving from a different standpoint and value how it's an intricate part in who we are in Christ!

Made for More - Week 3

September 19, 2021 00:00 - 22 minutes

When we put our faith in God, we come to know that we all have been called to do a specific function as He has appointed. Though we may not feel able or even feel out of our comfort zone, God equips us to walk in that calling, which is for one purpose - to build His house!

Made for More - Week 2

September 12, 2021 00:00 - 18 minutes

In life we are bound by old constraints or, in other words, "the sin that so easily entangles us!" However, we know through God's Word that "where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom!" What do we do with this freedom, which is received when we believe by faith? Tyler brings insight in this weeks message!

Made for More - Week 1

September 05, 2021 00:00 - 27 minutes

It can be stated that pretty much all things have a design process behind them. When we look at the church, what is God’s design for His collective body? In this opening message of this series, Thomas shares foundational understanding of how we are all “Designed for More!”

Psalms 37 - Week 4

August 22, 2021 00:00 - 21 minutes

Commit is a big word! Often, we can segment boxes of aspects of our lives, refraining ourselves from allowing God into these spaces. In the final message of this series, we learn the essential nature of committing and trusting all things unto God, and the potential benefit and outcome as a result.

Psalms 37 - Week 3

August 15, 2021 00:00 - 22 minutes

We were created to enjoy pleasure. It is a natural instinct to want to have enjoyment so much so that we often long to see that pleasure fulfilled through different means. As we continue our series, we are challenged to find our greatest pleasure in God alone rather than the things of this world that are only temporary!

Psalms 37 - Week 2

August 08, 2021 00:00 - 21 minutes

Trust in the Lord is a statement that can be seen on numerous occasions throughout Scripture. This action is easier said than done as quite often we display trust in material solutions or things that are not entirely secure in the long run. As we continue our series in Psalms 37, we look at why trusting in God is a good thing!

Psalms 37 - Week 1

August 01, 2021 00:00 - 19 minutes

For children, being still is a challenge. However, the same can also be said of many of us who find it challenging to wait on the Lord. How do we quieten ourselves in His presence and what would this achieve? Tyler begins our series on Psalms 37 by unpacking this thought.
