There are rhythms and seasons in all aspects of our lives. And this week as we look at Jesus sending out the 72 onto the mission field, we’ll explore how that’s true of our spiritual lives too. Our lives around ‘the table of the Lord’ aren’t static, they are dynamic and ever changing. And there is both coming and going at the table, invitation and sending.

The table is a picture of love, forgiveness and unity. Jesus said that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. The same goes for families, teams, friendships and churches. The reality is that God commands His Blessing where there is unity (Psalm 133).

We tend to think of our spiritual inheritance as something that we will receive at some point in the future. The Bible makes it clear however that it is also available for each of us right now - today! If that is the case, what is it and what difference is it meant to make to our lives?

There’s something special that happens when God’s people believe together! It’s a divine reality that’s truly supernatural. When we unite in faith, God multiplies our impact and we see miracles. It’s very powerful when we put our faith out together. The impossible is made possible, breakthroughs come and God gets the glory!

Together, we are all called to join Jesus in His mission on earth. Our lives can really count for His glory. Winkie Platney said: "God is looking for willing hearts...God has no favorites. You do not have to be special, but you have to be available."

For believers ’The Table’ is a picture of Togetherness and Feasting. It’s a picture of love and joy that flows from Christ Centered Community… In this first part we will catch God’s heart for every person on the planet - how Jesus makes us ‘The Planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor’ (Isaiah 61:3).

What does the Resurrection Life of Jesus look like as a community? In Acts 2 we glimpse a community of Christ-centered-otherness that had a radical impact on the ancient world. What would that look like for us today?

This is the miracle where Jesus reveals Himself as “The Resurrection and The Life”… Join us this Sunday as we grow in the resurrection power of Christ! God will divinely allow us to come to the end of ourselves in order to experience His resurrection life. May we say like Paul did in Philippians 3:10 – “I want to know Christ and the power of His Resurrection!”

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound… “Was blind, but now I see”! In Ephesians 1:18, we read how Paul prays that the eyes of their hearts would be enlightened… Jesus came to reveal Himself as the light of the world and He came to deliver us from spiritual blindness.

God wants nothing more than to shine His glory through the middle of your storms… even if it means walking on water to save you!

Jesus reveals himself powerfully when he feeds the 5000. Jesus is in fact the Bread of Life and He is more than enough for us! By multiplying the five loaves and two fish, Jesus shows that He can satisfy the deepest need in our lives.

Special Guest speaker Peter Rasmussen brings us a message on "Joy" as we conclude our Experiencing God weekend

Have you ever had someone say when you’re facing problems, something like, “You’ve just got to have more faith!” It can be quite annoying, right? But what if Jesus is actually saying something similar to us? What kind of faith is Jesus looking for more of in us?

Turning water into wine was a very significant miracle in Jesus’ Ministry. It was His first sign and it revealed who He is and why He came. There’s way more to this specific miracle than meets the eye.

The Resurrection was not some conjuring trick that somehow proved that Jesus was right or that He is in fact God. The Apostle Paul said the Resurrection is central to our Christian faith, saying, “if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.” (1 Cor. 15:14). So did it really happen? What exactly was the Resurrection? And what does it mean for us as followers of Jes...

The story of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, which we remember as Palm Sunday, is well known to most church goers. But is there more to the events on that day than simply a crowd welcoming Jesus as Israel’s Messiah? And what can it tell us about how we relate to Jesus as King?

As we draw the Gifted Series to a close the question for us is: What do we do now with what we have learned about ourselves and our gifts? Could there be a clue when Peter talks about strange and wonderful things in which we all become a Kingdom of Priests?

The Gift of Leadership is vitally needed in our generation. There are enough critical, cynical & self-centered people to go around - We need Leaders who are people of faith, who aren’t afraid of big challenges because they see an even bigger God. Christlike leadership expresses itself with humility and grace, empowering others to work together for a common purpose.

The “Gift of Giving” is an expression of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Generosity is at the center of who God is and how He saved us. Being generous is way more than giving money – we can express this gift in many creative ways.

This week as part of our GIFTED series, we’re diving into the grace gifts of Teaching and Encouragement. What important gifts they are for the local church, especially in hard times! During a difficult period of Israel’s history, God says through the prophet Hosea, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). And who doesn’t need encouragement these days!

Service is getting involved in practical tasks that need doing and mercy is showing compassion, empathy and kindness to others, particularly those in need. These are high-impact gifts that express the character of Christ.
