Everything's falling apart. Yet I will rejoice. That's the statement Ps Mark Collard builds this message around — the final verses of Habakkuk, a prophet writing into total economic and national collapse who somehow lands on a declaration of exuberant, dancing, spinning-for-joy rejoicing. Not in his circumstances. In his Saviour. This message explores why joy is not a feeling you wait fo...

God's favour isn't just for you. It's meant to flow through you. In this message from The Favour Effect series, Ps Steve Graham reframes what it means to live under God's favour — not as a personal blessing to accumulate, but as a channel to unlock blessing in the lives of the people around you. He traces the concept through the Old Testament: Noah saving his generation, Moses...

Walking with God is not just a moment when you started your journey. It's a daily lifestyle — and it's the best way to live. In this message, Ps Binu Thampy traces the concept of walking with God from Adam and Eve all the way through to Enoch, Noah, Abraham, David, and into the New Testament — and shows that the whole thread of the Bible is God's desire to walk with us. Not just to...

What if the Psalms were the greatest playlist ever made? In this message, Ps Sam Malcolm opens up Psalm 127 — a wisdom psalm — and unpacks one of the most freeing truths in Scripture: let God build, and let God bless. From a summer CD-burning nostalgia trip to the hustle culture videos filling up our Instagram feeds, Sam traces a line between the way the world tells us to build our lives and what...

God's favour is not something you earn. But there are ways to position yourself under it. In Part 3 of The Favour Effect series, Ps Mark Collard uses the story of Nehemiah to share three practical keys for living under an atmosphere of God's favour — not just on Sundays, but on Mondays, in the workplace, in your family, and in every season of life.  The image he keeps coming back to is a...

Favour is not merely for your comfort. It's for the assignment God has placed on your life. In Part 2 of The Favour Effect series, Ps Mark Collard picks up where he left off — recapping what God's favour actually is (a shield, a lifetime canopy, goodness and mercy that pursue you even on your worst days) — before making a shift. Favour, he says, is unreasonable: 1 + 1 = 100. It can'...

If you haven't put a name on something, it ends up in lost property — or someone else claims it. In this message, Ps Monica Collard opens with a simple analogy about school uniforms, lost caps, and the frustration of watching something valuable sit unclaimed. Then she takes it somewhere unexpected: Numbers 6, where God gives Aaron and his sons an exact template for blessing the Israelites, an...

You stepped into the favor of God the moment you said yes to Jesus — and it has never been retracted from your life. In this opening message of The Favor Effect series, Ps Mark Collard unpacks what God's favor actually is. The word grace (caris) can be translated as favor, and it's not an occasional blessing or a feeling you have on a good week — it's the permanent position you walk...

You can have an amazing dinner and still wake up hungry the next morning. Your soul works the same way. In this message, Ps Mark Collard unpacks what it actually means to live on daily bread — not weekly bread, not conference bread from six months ago. Drawing from the story of manna in Exodus 16 and the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6, he explores four things that manna represents: daily provisio...

Maybe you're feeling stuck. Maybe the Red Sea is in front of you and the enemy is behind you. God's message this morning is simple: move on. In this message, Ps Jeziel Koehler draws from Exodus 14:15 and shares three things that will keep your life moving when you feel paralysed. Trust God's character, not just his existence. Keep Jesus at the centre of the story. And keep worshippi...

You think you're safe. But the stronghold you've built around yourself isn't keeping you safe. It's keeping you small. In this message, Ps Barry Roberts explains how strongholds are built. Not all at once, but brick by brick. Something happens to you. Someone says something. You see a pattern repeat. And you lay a brick down. Then another. Then another. Until you've built...

Summer is the perfect time to stop and check what is actually going on inside your heart. In this message, Ps Steve Graham takes Proverbs 4:23 ("Guard your heart, for from it flow the wellsprings of life") and builds a simple but deeply practical heart checkup around three markers: humble, hungry, and helpful. Drawing from Philippians 2 and 3 and the example of the Apostle Paul writing a...

Jesus said the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like children. But what does that actually mean for us as adults? In this message, Ps Paul Geerling takes Mark chapter 10 and unpacks five characteristics that God loves about children and doesn't want us to lose as we grow up in faith. Children don't believe in limits. They believe their father's resources are never ending. The...

In this message from Shout Conference, Ps Paul Geerling takes Isaiah 40 and the great promise that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. He unpacks three things that happen when we stop flapping in our own strength and start waiting on God: we are reminded just how strong and wise he actually is, we receive his strength and his perspective on our situation, and we find the resilien...

He believed in God. He had seen God work. But somewhere along the way, he stopped relying on him. And what followed is one of the most sobering warnings in the Bible. In this message, Ps Mark Collard walks through the story of King Asa in 2 Chronicles and draws out a warning that is as relevant today as it was then. The danger is not that we stop believing in God. It's that we stop relying on...

Not everyone can go. But everyone can hold the rope. In this message from Shout Conference, Ps Byron Marchant introduces one of the most freeing ideas in the life of the church. There are four things you can do with the gospel: believe it, live it, share it, and partner with it. And it is that fourth one, the partnering, that most people have never fully stepped into. Drawing from the story of Wil...

Whatever you're facing right now, God is more than that. Whatever feels like too much, God is more than that. In this message, Ps Monica Collard builds one of the most encouraging ideas in the Bible around two simple words. More than. She walks through the feeding of the 5,000, the woman with the issue of blood, the wedding at Cana, and shows how every time someone brought their lack to Jesus...

Some churches have a missions board. The people on it are the ones who go out, while everyone else stays home. But what if you're already on the board? In this message, Ps Sam Malcolm makes the case that every single one of us is already on mission, right where we are. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 2, he pulls out three things Paul shows us are needed to go on mission: a burden that moves you...

The biggest tactic of the enemy is not to make you sin. It's to make you busy. In this message, Ps Rachel Mawston shares what she discovered over the past year about the Holy Spirit and what happens when you intentionally make space for God's presence. She takes us through the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4 and 8, a woman with no name who built a room for God and saw four inc...

You are not designed to carry this much. But you keep packing more in anyway. In this evening message, Ps Rachel Mawston picks up from the morning and takes the conversation somewhere deeper. She shares what happened at a Hillsong conference when a friend prayed two words over her. "Come, Holy Spirit." And everything changed. Not the circumstances. Her. This message is built around one i...

Most people think sharing their faith means having all the answers. It doesn't. In this message, Ps Steve Graham breaks down the beautiful simplicity of God's good news into three things. God loves you. Jesus invites you to come and see. And God uses ordinary people to pass that invitation on. Ps Steve shares a story from living in a slum in the Philippines and a conversation with a 16-y...

Most people think discipleship is about knowing more. It's not. It's about relationship. In this message, Ps Jeziel Koehler breaks down what it actually means to be a disciple of Jesus using three simple words. Follow. Belong. Reach. He unpacks Matthew 4:19, the invitation Jesus gave to a group of ordinary people, and shows how those three words describe three kinds of relationships ever...

You've been asking God for favor. But what if he already gave it to you? In this closing message of the You've Already Got It series, Ps Mark Collard unpacks what God's favor actually is and why most of us are missing it. It's not something we earn or beg for. It's already been poured out. Like an umbrella in the rain, the favor is already there. We just need to position o...

Your bank account is not the problem. What you believe about provision is. In this message, Ps Mark Collard breaks down Psalm 23 and shows what it actually means that the Lord is your shepherd. He walks through five things a good shepherd does, including taking responsibility for the sheep and leading them into rest so they can receive what has already been prepared. The message lands on a simple...

You've been asking God for things. But asking and receiving are not the same thing. In this message, Ps Mark Collard unpacks the second law of faith. Faith doesn't just ask. Faith receives. He takes us to the story of the woman with the issue of blood, who didn't wait for Jesus to notice her or choose her. She reached out and deliberately took what she needed. Jesus didn't even...
