Dayspring Church Audio Podcast

We continue our 'Prepare the Way' series looking at our call to prepare a Place for His Glory. The call to build a place, is a call to build an altar. While many see the place we meet as just a building, we know that it is much more than that: It is an altar built upon our worship, our unity, our boldness and our passion.

Ps Aaron kicks off our 'Prepare the Way' series. We are called to be a people of glory; To be a people who have laid down their own way of doing things and who, through humility, live out of Jesus’ vision of life and Kingdom. A people who see the world as God sees the world; a world filled with glory that is waiting to be revealed.

When we examine the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl, we see that the price is not the cost, and the cost is always "all you have”. 

We kick off our new series "Parables". Jesus' parables are illustrations of wisdom, windows into the Kingdom of God, and a way of teaching to reimagine the Kingdom of God in a whole new way. In the parables of The Mustard Seed, and Leaven, we learn from Jesus that the Kingdom of God is not what you're expecting. It's different: It's better, It’s more beautiful… but it's different.

This week, off the back of our Young and New Adults Revivalist Conference, Guest Speaker Ps Russel Evans speaks into Having an Enlargement Mentality: Not settling for what has been, but instead having our Vision, Expectation and Capacity stretched to accomodate what God has planned for us.

This week Caitlin continues our 'Seek First' Series. We look at the prayer for Spiritual Wisdom Paul Prayed in Ephesians 1, which leads us into a deeper knowing of Him. Through the knowing of Him we are lead into Hope, and the Resurrection Power that He has made available to us.

Continuing our series “Seek First”, this message explores what the Bible says about praying for wisdom, and the benefits that flow from a life steeped in wisdom.

Ps Kristen continues our 'Seek First' series as we look at Paul’s prayer for the church in Colossians, and how perseverance in prayer leads us to a place of maturity and fruitfulness

This week in our series "Seek First" we look at the life of Jacob, and the two prayers he prayed that opened up the door for change and transformation in his life. We learn from Jacob that prayer is the place where we throw off the identity that the world would gave us, and receive our name from God as we come under His authority and take on His nature.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, the Apostle Paul teaches us that when our intercession and petition are accompanied by rejoicing and thanksgiving, our prayers are in alignment with God’s will. Our ability to rejoice is dependant on a revelation of the beauty of Christ.

We kick off our new series "Seek First" looking at Pentecost and what it teaches us about prayer.

Biblical Hospitality requires an invitational outlook, free of judgement and rich in mercy, humility and love.

In 1 Peter 3 we are instructed to always be ready and prepared to give an answer for the hope that we have. But how do we do this? How do we have conversations with our neighbours that dig deeper than just pleasantries and generic topics such as the weather? And how do we do this in a world that is so often hostile towards the ways of Jesus and His Kingdom? Scripture isn't silent on these issues....

In order to be neighbours, and effective ministers of reconciliation to our world, we have to learn to reconcile the gap between our beliefs and our behaviours; learning to live out of all that Christ has established in our heart. We do this by engaging in grace practices that allow God's transformational power to be at work in our life and God's missional power to be at work through our life.

We kick off our new series "Won't You Be My Neighbour" looking at how, as followers of Christ, we are called to be a neighbour to humanity. The art of neighbouring isn't a life that happens by default, we must be intentional, we must design our life around God's story of redemption and reconciliation in order to bring the gospel to a thirsty world.

This week Ps Alex shares on how we can come alive in Jesus through letting go!

This Easter Sunday we continue our God's Good News series looking at how the Easter weekend is both a reminder of the power of resurrection at work in our life and world and also a call to re-enact resurrection in our life and world.

On Palm Sunday, we continue our "God's Good News" series in the lead up to easter by looking at how Jesus' triumphal entry speaks prophetically about what salvation looks like, how salvation comes and how we embrace it.

Since Jesus, being fully human in every way, suffered when he was tempted, he identifies with us in our troubles and extends grace and mercy to us when we suffer.

This week we conclude our vision series, "Here We Go", looking at how we are sent into the world to make disciples and bear witness to the kingdom of God. We look at the question of how we share the message and story of Christ in a compelling way that cuts through all the other competing narratives in our world.

Pastor Kristen continues our Vision Series, Here We Go, by looking at what we mean by 'HERE'. 'Here' is the place of our assignment and mission - therefore in a culture of distraction and instability, learning how to be anchored and present in where God has placed us is vital to us partnering with what God is wanting to do in and through our lives.

This week we kick off our Vision Series with Ps Aaron unpacking our vision for the year ahead, "Here. We. Go".

We conclude this series with a reflection on promises for renewal contained within Ezekiel 36:24-36
