What we can learn from Jesus' words to Peter after his denial and failure..... Failure doesn't have to be the end - There is still a future filled with purpose and destiny even after failure. To move forward - It is essential to be truthful and open about our failures before Jesus, accepting His offer of grace. We must continue from where we left off and follow Him - Failure actually holds...

Moses had an encounter with God at the burning bush, which marked a turning point in his life. He surrendered his ambitions to follow God's purpose. What is God using as your "burning bush" to get your attention and surrender your life to Him? Jesus called his disciples to follow Him and become "fishers of men." Don't delay, be willing to surrender and pick up your true...

The story of David and Goliath has become an accepted analogy for taking on a herculean task and coming out on top. But though that might be the outcome of the story, we see that there is greater depth and understanding to be gained that “the giants” that confront us need to be recognised as giants that try to obstruct our God given destiny and need to be overcome “in the power of God”. cwc.org.au

God’s silence could imply that… - God wants us to act on an instruction he has already given. - That we are walking in disobedience to that instruction and so communion is cut off. - He is wanting to develop our character and nature during the period of silence ⁠www.cwc.org.au⁠

Even in the midst of great challenges, God’s divine favour is made available to us. Journey with the Apostle Paul as he sees the divine hand of God, even in the midst of a shipwreck, turning things around and enabling Paul to bless others even as he was blessed.

As Christians we are not called to be Judge, Jury or Prosecutor… WE ARE CALLED TO BE THE WITNESS! Today, someone is waiting for us the stand up and bear witness to all that God has done in our lives so that they too can experience that love and hope in him. So Bring out the witnesses… the world is waiting for their testimony. cwc.org.au

The paradox of leadership in God’s Kingdom is challenging: You LEAD on the one hand and SERVE on the other. "Phoebe, modelled these qualities with excellence, and as a consequence, not only was she assigned with a “Great responsibility” by Paul – representing him to the congregation at Rome but also, her example left a legacy for all Godly women to follow! Her story could be your story too!

In today's context the GRACE OF GOD IS OFFERED FREELY, to anyone who is “willing to believe” – not just Christians but non-Christians as well. Biblical faith refuses to embrace limitations – but causes the receiver to move past them and receive the blessing of God. Culturally, socially and religiously the Syrophoenician stood “outside the Jewish faith” – but she knew that Jesus came to move be...

God offered this sinner grace in response to her faith. Jesus celebrates not just her gift but the effort she made in bringing that gift to Him (vs 44-48) She wanted the blessing of forgiveness but received more! Luke 7 : 36-50 www.cwc.org.au

GRACE …is a free gift from God (Jesus purchased it at the Cross) …is received through faith in Him ...is offered freely to those who want to receive it!

The account in the Gospel of John 4 about the Samaritan woman with Jesus at the well serves to remind us of the awesome power of God. The Gospel, the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ transcends borders, cultures, and taboos to deliver unto humanity that which the world desperately needs. This story is another manifestation that Jesus is truly The Way, The Truth and The Life! 

To many, easter is merely a celebration in the calendar. A reason for another holiday, maybe a lovely lunch and the exchanging of gifts. But, the reality is that the celebration of Easter (the Resurrection of Jesus) has far greater significance…. It is the greatest confirmation that Jesus has paid the price of SIN in full and has risen victorious! Without Easter – Good Friday would merely be a mem...

Ministry principles from David: 1. David wasn't intimidated by the success of those who came to him – he enlisted them. 2. These men came to serve – not to “lead”. 3. They aligned their visions with his and the cause that he served. As a result of this restructuring – there was joy, fulfilment and victory over their enemies! 1 Chronicles 12

In Luke 10:25-37 Jesus challenges us to live out our Christian experience with a “God perspective,” breaking free from superficial religious traditions to embracing an authentic, Christ like attitude towards those around us. So, how do we do Church the Jesus way? 1. See opportunity in every situation God leads you into 2. Ask God to break your heart with the things that break His 3. Remind yoursel...

"Time and opportunity wait for no man” Every one of us have faced those moments in life… where an opportunity has presented itself and we have had to take a decision to go for it or not! In Luke 7:36-50… we see a woman who seized her moment… She was willing to come in authentic devotion to Jesus and receive his forgiveness and grace!

Ever wanted to hit the pause button on life and go back and edit out decision or choice? Well, though that might not be possible in a real life situation, there still is hope! God never gives up on us, is never embarrassed by our mess ups and is always there for us. Our turn around could be just one choice away!!!

In Mark chapter 5 we see that a "Demon possessed man" and "Woman with the Issue of Blood" needs freedom from their torment and Jesus is the only one who can truly bring them freedom from their own torment and sinfulness and bring them into a complete relationship with God.   Dive in, as we look at the power of Jesus Christ and His authority over evil spirits and sickness as He is the only one...

God’s desire and design for our lives is progress: Spiritually, materially and emotionally.   But often “fear and procrastination” causes us to “stay in the safe zones” and we miss out on God’s best.   Your life was designed for Impact – Destiny and Purpose  So, take a step of faith and step out to see God do what He promises.   Exodus 14 : 1-14

In Matt 11 : 28-30 Jesus gives one of the Greatest invitations of all time “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."   He offers us a “Yoke exchange” – From the burdensome yokes we carry, to “his yoke...

In 2 Chronicles 20 – King Jehoshaphat is faced with an impossible challenge, and he cries to God in his distress… the Lord responds with a specific and encouraging word… 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.”  “Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be “upheld”…

Ezekiel had allowed the lack of results and adverse circumstances to discourage and disillusion him.   God enters Ezekiel's world and brings a turnaround through the prophet's word of faith and belief.   As you face your own “dry season” reflect on what God did for and through Ezekiel - He can do the same for you, so reconnect to Him.   Ezekiel 37 : 1-10

Put first things first and we get second things thrown in: put second things first and we lose both first and second things…” - C. S. Lewis   Start the year by evaluating and reprioritising life according to the principles of God’s word…!   “Christ is not valued at all unless He is valued above all.” - Augustine of Hippo

We set many “markers” in our journey in life… Anniversaries, Birthdays… etc… and the start of a new year often becomes one of those makers with New Year’s resolutions that will help us achieve a goal or purpose that we have for our life.   Today, we will look at what Jesus spoke to his disciples as he arrived at the end of his ministry on earth and prepared them to do “Greater things” than He...
