Horizon Church - Auckland

A message by Danny Silk

Love can mean many different things to us based on our history. Love is a commitment, an action and a result. 1 John 4:19 says that "We love because He first loved us". It is essential for us to each have an encounter with God's Love that redefines our identity as dearly loved children in His family. When our hearts are overflowing with His love it forever changes the way we show love to those aro...

Everything that starts in Heaven must finish on earth! God speaks to us from the perspective of seeing a finished product even though we are still very much in the process. From his point of view, we are flawless and complete however in contrast God is constantly at work in us to bring us into full awareness of who we really are in Christ. Jesus' full identity wasn't manifested until he finished o...

God is bringing His church back to the pattern of family. A Biblical family is three generations - grandparents, parents, and children. Every aspect of church life has to reflect family - how we relate to each other, leadership, ministry, serving etc. We are born with a need to belong and our destiny is always interwoven with our community.

Jacob had life defining encounters that changed by him as well as the world. What were some of Heaven's ways he aligned with that positioned him for these encounters? Andy shares about this and how we can apply this into our lives. Andy is the senior leader of Bethel Church Whangerei

God's methodology for redemption has always been family. The Father sent the Son, the Son sent the Holy Spirit. God designed us with a community in mind. We all need people around us to fulfil our destiny. Even though Adam had an intimate relationship with God He still told him it was not good for him to be alone. He needed a family to fulfil his dominion mandate.

God is calling us all to a higher awareness of what is being made available for us as sons and daughters to walk in. One of them is our access to experience His glory. We have to move from an expectation of 'only during our worship on Sunday' to walking in the glory.   A message by Tim Stevenson

The reason why it is so important to come into sonship is that it is ultimately our identity that gives us authority.  What gave Jesus authority over God's house was his identity as a son - Heb 3:6. When Jesus was challenged in the wilderness by Satan it was His identity as a son that he came after. When we know who we are we challenge the powers of darkness and extend the Kingdom!

Are we living with a performance mindset or an identity mindset? This is one of the big shifts we have made at Horizon - from performance-based values to identity-based values. When we live with a performance mindset our value is based on what we do so what we do determines who we are. However, when we live with an identity mindset, our value is based on who we are so who we are ends up determinin...

A message by Tim Stevenson. Because we are a sons and daughters, we are much-loved children of God, placed in His family and a brother of Jesus. We are no longer a slaves or orphans, all fear is therefore broken off. Now we have constant access to the Father, an inheritance, we are filled with glory and joy and have been set free.

In this Message, Tim Stevenson chats about how we're all on a journey to know who God really is. While we can think we know someone by what others tell us about them, it is only when we spend quality one-on-one time with them that we truly really get to know them. This is the same with God. We all need quality time with Him to truly get to know Him. We can't live off other people's revelation of w...

Sometimes life can bring delays and distractions so how do you maintain the faith to lay hold of all that God has promised. This looks at the life of Caleb who faced some serious delays and distractions but he still showed up, as strong as when he first received the promise, and laid hold of all that God promised! A message by Kat Kaho

In the message Tim Stevenson explores the first key element of the Gospel of the Kingdom: Intimacy or our relationship with the Father

When people think of the Gospel they often default to the Gospel of Salvation - Jesus came to Earth to die on a cross to take us all to Heaven. While there is truth in this, this is not the full truth. The Gospel of the Kingdom is what Jesus preached - this is the bigger picture of why He came to Earth. Not on a rescue mission but on a restoration mission. Not primarily to take us to Heaven but to...

In this message Tyrone Stevenson talks about how "Romans 8 tells us we have received the Spirit of Sonship and we are God's children and even co-heirs with Christ. So what does it look like to live as a son or daughter of God? Connected with Him and His body, the church. Following Jesus and leading others into all He has shown us. I believe that the quality of our leadership is determined by the q...
