Sara Jukes - Love your Enemies by Breathe New Life Church

Becky Pitts shares a message on ‘breaking unhealthy cycles’ as part of the 'Learn Love' series (Romans 7: 15-24). Unhealthy cycles prevent us from moving forward and keep us tethered. There is no resource from the world that can bring transformation to your life like Jesus can. Paul felt frustrated about being trapped in an unhealthy cycle. We must keep moving forward even when we feel like we are...

Ian and Val Byrd visited us, from Canada to leave us extremely blessed. Val spoke about not staying stuck and not allowing our circumstances to dictate to us. Ian spoke on. Isaiah 40:27- 31, regarding soaring as children of God. He shared with us the things that stop us from flying like eagles, and similarly to eagles being tethered, we can also be tethered to things of the world and of our past.

Rob Pitts preached in the first of the 'Learn Love' series: The Great Commission. Using Acts 1:1-8 to start and finish the message, Rob shared the resurrection timeline of Jesus; showing us what it really means to be a witness and the power that we are given when we accept Jesus.

Paul Jukes speaks for Easter Sunday on the God of new beginnings. He looks at Mark 16 when the people first realised that Jesus was resurrected. Paul explains how wherever we are at. in our journey, God can take our ‘once upon a time’ (our beginnings) and turn them into something amazing for His glory.

Sara Jukes shared a message on ‘Palm Sunday’ (Luke 19:28-44) about allowing Jesus to untie and release us from such things as, guilt, anxiety, sadness and unforgiveness. When Jesus unties us, He can then partner with us so that we can accomplish things and grow deeper in our relationship with Him. Jesus wants us to carry His love into every aspect of our lives and share His good news wherever we g...

Andy Elmes shared a message on 'Kairos' which means ‘for such a time of this’ and is described as a ‘God moment’ (Genesis 28 16-27). God can often create God moments when we are not even spiritually aware. Currently, we are living in a Kairos moment and God is changing people’s experiences of God. When we experience a spiritual awakening, God becomes so real to us, that He is no longer just a conc...

Steff Hodgson led us through “Living with and for the next generation”. Whether you are a mother or not, if a child is in your life, you have a role to be part of the process of raising them. She uses verses within Deuteronomy 6:1-25 to explore this. We have to show up and be present in the lives of the children around us.

As human beings, we have been created to influence and to have a purpose. God has a redemptive plan for humanity and has equipped every one of us to be far reaching in sharing the good news. Jesus was intentional in speaking with the outcasts and crossed cultural lines. He grew in favour with God and knew the importance of growing through prayer. The way we increase our favour with God is by lovin...

Sara Jukes - Broad: To Break Chains & Broad: To Be A Blessing by Breathe New Life Church

Beccy Pitts shares on 'One Anothering: A Renewed Perspective.' She uses Colossians 3 to remind us that as we are being renewed and so are other people. The process of renewal isn’t an easy one but one where others extending grace can make it easier and we can make it easier for others if we show grace towards them. We are all work in progress; therefore, Beccy emphasised that we should clothe ours...

For our all-in service (previously family service) Deb Newbould asks the question ‘is what the Bible says true?’ Which leads us to consider can we really be made new? Deb focuses on 2 Corinthians 5:17- “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” Deb looks at if what the bible says is true and if God would lie to us, coming to the conclusion th...

In this week of our ‘Renewal’ series, Ben Hodgson brings a message titled, ‘Rooted and Resilient.’ Looking at the book of Jeremiah, Ben shows us how God is in control, God is in you, and we are in God’s plan. Listen to some of Ben’s experiences and receive some practical tips on how to be rooted in God and resilient in hard times.

Paul Jukes shared a message on ‘living Jesus centred’. We must seek Jesus when we approach the scriptures and have faith and be all in with God (1 Samuel 9: 1:5). Our posture should be both humility and obedience which leads to empowerment. If we want the life that God desires for us, then we must learn to listen to God's instruction, grow in wisdom and be filled with the spirit before we act. God...

Sara Jukes speaks on discipleship. She unpacks the idea that “Sometimes we follow people because we think they are going to show us the right way to go.” However, Ephesians 4:15 is used to convey that as Christians we must follow Christ. Titus 3:3-5 then shows us the difference of the journey of our lives prior to Christ. For there to be renewal we must look at every aspect of our lives and be war...

Paul Jukes shared a message titled, 'Cultivating Generosity' on Offering Sunday 2023. Historically, a disciple would become like the Master; therefore we should become like Jesus and His values should permeate the life of His disciples. Jesus, the master, is a servant, kind, loving and generous and we should desire to be the same as well as desiring to raise up more disciples who reflect the maste...

On Vision Sunday 2023, Senior Pastor Paul Jukes shared our focus for the year - Renewal - based on Isaiah 40:29-31 which says, "those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength." In the first part of this message, Paul highlighted the organisations that we are hoping to partner with and initiatives that we would like to support over the year to help us bring renewal to the church and to the w...

Today Beccy Pitts shares a message on the church values, and in turn our own values. Where we put our values indicates what we see as important. And this also impacts where our heart is as it says in Matthew 6:19-21. As a church, our values are passion, freedom, and kindness. Beccy then answers the question ‘Why does it matter where I place my treasure?’ and encourages us to think about our values...

Rob Pitts brings a message for our New Year's Day service titled, 'The Good Shepherd = good news' (Luke 15:1). We must get to know the shepherd's voice and remember we are on a journey to know His voice and spend time with Him. It is God's desire that we look out for those who are still lost and put ourselves in their shoes. We can so easily miss what God is wanting to do when we become too engros...

Tim Davies brings a message on Joseph from the Christmas story (Mathew 1: 19-25). Joseph knew and heard God's voice and the Old Testament showed that God only spoke to selected people to share His word with the nation. During the Christmas story, God showed that He had started to speak to people like Joseph. Joseph knew God's faithfulness even though he went through some of the most difficult time...

Steff Hodgson brings us a message focussing on Mary and her faith. Steff explains how Mary submitted without asking too many questions, she trusted God with the plans he had for her. Mary hurried to her cousin to see the miracle (Luke 1:39-40). Do you need to hurry to a promise God has given you? Mary worshipped. We need to worship God with our lives because of who he is. This Christmas know who y...

In the first of our Christmas series, Sara Jukes looks at the Shepherds in Luke 2 8:20. Even though they were known as ‘people of the dirt’ they were the first people that God invited to see his newborn son. Sara highlights that regardless of who you are and what you’ve done, God desires a relationship with you. Sara highlights 5 things about the Shepherds: 1. The shepherds were awake- are we awak...

Rob Pitts concludes our Awaken series by preaching on “What we can do to practically awaken ourselves.”He starts off by using Psalm 108:2 to show how David awakened himself spiritually and got up and worshipped first thing in the morning giving Him first priority. He uses Ephesians 3:16-18 to show we are strengthened by the spirit of God and that there is more to us than just a body. Furthermore,...

Sara Jukes continues our Awake Series with a message on Isaiah 52. Like the people of Israel who were captive in Babylon, we are to wake up, clothe ourselves in strength and put on the garment of splendour. By definition, the word awake means to, 'become aware' and the 'be active'; therefore, we need to take action by shaking off the dust, rising up, sitting enthroned in order to find freedom.
