June 05, 2016 08:30 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBIn our final talk of the series, Mark addresses why we should pursue holiness. Well first of all, God invites us to it! Holiness is the spectacular mission and end for which Jesus came into the world, and pursuing holiness is an outworking of our response to Jesus. Mark also asks, what does pursuing holiness involve, and what does it not involve? As we read the bible it becomes apparent that the only way we can become holy is, not through our own strength to abstain from this or that, or our ...
The Difference 2 | A CALL TO INTIMACY
May 15, 2016 08:30 - 42 minutes - 39 MBThe call to holiness is a call to intimacy with a Holy God. Intimacy involves a challenge: to 'forsake all others' and turn away from everything that we use to ease our pain, to distract us, to give us perceived value in other peoples' opinions. All these things ultimately divert us away from intimacy with God; they are what the bible calls 'idols'. Dennis presents the way in which we have intimacy with God is through confession and repentance. God is calling us to turn away from every idol t...

Winners & Losers 4 | WINNING IS LOSING & LOSING IS WINNING
March 20, 2016 09:30 - 27 minutes - 24.7 MBThere are many people that society labels as losers. Jesus was one of them, choosing to lose his life by dying on a cross. But that isn’t the full story. Jesus chose to lose his life so that we would trust in what he accomplished through the cross, and not what we ourselves have accomplished through our lives. We begin to see with God’s eyes, that we are being called to become winners through of Jesus becoming a loser.

Winners & Losers 1 | EVERYONE LOVES A WINNER
February 28, 2016 09:30 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MBIn the run up to Easter, Chris Lane considers what makes a winner or a loser in God’s eyes. Jesus said that we didn't win the prize to become God’s people, but that He had already chosen us. So if God has already chosen us, what is He looking for? Being a winner isn’t about the amount of service we provide God, but comes down to whether we truly understand the nature of our relationship with Him. God is the only winner, and it is only when we admit that we are a loser that we can allow God to...

POSSESSING THE PROMISE
January 03, 2016 09:30 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBThe Jordon River posed as a great obstacle to the Israelites in their quest to obtain God’s promised land for them. Louie identifies some of the more common everyday Jordon’s we face today, and discusses how we can cross over these to inherit the promises that God has in store for us in 2016. In light that nothing is impossible for God and that He is for you, are you really going to bow down to the obstacles (Jordon’s) in your life that currently discourage you from entering Gods best for you...
THE PROMISE OF GREAT JOY
December 27, 2015 10:30 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBWhy should we have great joy?

We pray as you listen to this Christmas talk you receive that gift of hope.
The Birth of Hope 3 | HOPE BREEDS GENEROSITY
December 13, 2015 09:30 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBHow does hope breed generosity? Jesus has given us a hope that is steadfast and certain; how does this hope affect our choices and actions? Dennis discusses how we respond by offering the best treasure we have: to regard and offer our time, energy and money as an act of worship. What will you bring him?
The Birth of Hope 2 | HOPE BREEDS GRATITUDE
December 06, 2015 09:30 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MBIn the second of our Christmas talk series, Wendy takes two pivotal characters in the Christmas story: Zechariah and Mary, and looks at how their differing hopes in God leads them to completely opposite reactions. When our hope is in God and we believe in his promises, hope will undoubtedly lead to thanksgiving and a healthy gratitude.

The Blessing 2 | POSITION & PURPOSE
November 01, 2015 09:30 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MBTo be blessed is a core desire for every human being. It’s astonishing how far we will go to get it. But it’s more astonishing how far God went to give us it to us. As people who've stepped into God's blessing through Jesus, Richard provokes us to ask ourselves, why have we been blessed? For what purpose?

COMING HOME
October 18, 2015 08:30 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MBTo come home is to reconnect with who we are. It’s where our roots are found, where we are known and make ourselves known; it should be a place of safety. Coming home to God therefore means we return to receive His light, life and love as we overcome our fears of rejection and shame. This week Dennis asks us what are the lies and fears we live under which need to be brought into God's light? As we step into this light, we experience God's love and affirmation for who we are - and not just for...
