In this powerful Mother’s Day message, Debbie explores the story of Deborah in Judges 4 and 5 and unpacks what she describes as “the Deborah anointing” — an anointing marked by wisdom, worship, humility, courage and spiritual authority.   Beginning with the name of God, El Shaddai, Debbie reflects on the Father’s heart to nurture, provide and pour out His goodness on His people. Just as a child co...

We are in a threshold season. And thresholds require a different posture. In this deeply prophetic and pastoral message, Michelle Wilson explores the contrasting responses of Zechariah and Mary to the announcement of impossible pregnancies in Luke 1.   Both were visited by the angel Gabriel. Both received a promise that defied natural reality. Both asked, “How can this happen?” Yet the response fr...

The Great Commission was never just about people. It was always about nations. In this message, Tim brings together the threads of the past few weeks and reveals the fuller picture of what it means to displace powers and take cities.  Starting in Matthew 28 and moving through the book of Acts, we see that discipling nations is not a passive idea — it’s a strategic, sustained invasion of the ways o...

Our battle is not against flesh and blood — but if we don’t understand how that battle works, we’ll fight in the wrong place. In this message, Tim builds on the foundation of principalities and takes us into the next layer: powers — the spiritual forces that shape ideologies, systems of thought, and cultural patterns within a nation. Drawing from Colossians 2 and Ephesians 6, we see how these powe...

Our battle is not against flesh and blood. In this message, Tim takes us deeper into the unseen framework behind that statement — tracing a biblical worldview from Deuteronomy 32 through to Ephesians 6 that reveals the reality of territorial powers, spiritual authority, and the cosmic nature of the battle we are in.  Beginning with the Tower of Babel and the dividing of the nations, we explore how...

In Matthew 11 we encounter a surprising moment: John the Baptist — the greatest of the Old Testament prophets — sends word to Jesus from prison asking, “Are you the Coming One, or should we expect someone else?”  How does the very prophet who declared “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” end up questioning whether Jesus is really the Messiah? In this message, Tim unpacks th...

Levelling up sounds inspiring. But what does it actually require? In Part 2 of this message, Tim moves from prophetic theme to practical framework. If 2026 is a year to level up, then we need more than language — we need transformation at the level of our internal operating system. Opening in Romans 12, this message unpacks what it really means to be “transformed by the renewing of your mind.” The...

The world is shaking. The church is shaking. But God is not. In this tag-team message, Tim and Debbie name the tremors rocking the body of Christ and the broader world — from public moral failures in high-profile ministries to the collapsing foundations of celebrity church culture. Against that backdrop, Haggai 2 becomes a prophetic lens: though the former glory may feel like a distant memory, God...

What if the limits you’ve accepted as normal… aren’t even close to God’s version of normal? In this end-of-year message, Tim calls us to confront the thinking that has kept us playing small — not just in areas of obvious struggle, but in the zones where we’ve “settled” for good instead of contending for God’s best. This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about letting the Spirit confront our old defa...

“Thanksgiving isn’t polite appreciation. It’s powerful, prophetic agreement.” In Part 2 of this transformative series, Michelle Wilson leads us deeper into the biblical pattern of thanksgiving — not as something offered after a miracle, but as a bold, faith-filled act that precedes breakthrough. From Abraham’s altar to Jehoshaphat’s audacious worship strategy, Michelle explores what it means to gi...

“Not giving thanks is a slippery slope to forgetting, which is a slippery slope to idolatry.” In this timely and insightful message, Michelle brings fresh revelation on the power of thanksgiving — not as a vague attitude of gratitude, but as a spiritual weapon that aligns our hearts, our worship, and our memory with the truth of who God is. Drawing from both Hebrew and Greek biblical roots, Michel...

“You are noble. You have a voice. And it’s time to take it back.” In this powerful and deeply prophetic message, Megan Edward calls us to step fully into the identity God has spoken over us: a people of nobility, dignity, and authority. Building on a word from Sandra Sellmer-Kersten — nobility — and revisiting the Hebrew decade of the mouth (5780), we’re invited to consider how fear, trauma, and s...

In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk this past week, Tim challenges us on our need for a discernment upgrade in the body of Christ. One factor that increases our discernment is seeing patterns in Scripture. When you recognise a pattern, you see things in a different light. Tim looks through all the incidents of civil unrest in the book of Acts and pulls out the narrative that was playe...

In the final message in this series on Ephesians, Tim looks at 6:10-24. Understanding the nature of the battle is the critical foundation for taking ground and establishing Kingdom territory. Understanding the “powers” empowers us with the knowledge of how the enemy keeps cities and nations in captivity, and has massive implications for how we go about discipling cities and nations. Understanding...

In this 10th message on the book of Ephesians, Tim looks at 5:21 - 6:9. This passage of Scripture has been used to justify some of the must destructive practices in the Christian world through an ignorance of the context of the whole passage. The passage speaks to three pairs of people - husbands and wives, parents and children, and masters and slaves. Any interpretation of these verses that justi...

How many of us have been in severe physical pain, and thought to ourselves, “This is awesome - it’s so life-giving…”..? It’s the enemy’s work to steal, kill and destroy. At this second Combined Churches Regional Gathering, Tim Ferris looks at Jesus’ healing ministry through the lens of the apostle John. Jesus came that we might have life, and life more abundantly. Sickness and pain works against t...

In the ninth message of this series, Tim found some unexpected gold in Ephesians 5:15-20, having planned to start at verse 22 this week. Not all moments are created equal. There are “kairos” moments, where what you choose in that moment has a disproportionate impact. Paul’s counsel here is to not be distracted, and to not dull your senses in such a way that you miss a window of opportunity to adva...

Tim continues our series on the book of Ephesians, looking at Ephesians 5:1-21. This section follows straight on from chapter 4, taking us into the practical side of mature love. In short, mature love looks like something. The Kingdom of God does require something of us in terms of our behaviour. But, it is critical to know that our behaviour doesn’t define our identity or our standing before God....

Tim takes a second pass at Ephesians chapter 4. Everything that God creates has order and design. His church is no different. He has designed it with offices, anointings, and a structure that, when infused with His presence, results in a mature community that reflects the “measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”. That means more than we behave like Jesus. It means we occupy the space in...

In part 6 of this series on the book of Ephesians, Tim looks at Ephesians chapter 4. This chapter introduces us to the governmental, or ruling offices in the Body of Christ - often referred to as the “5-fold” giftings. The purpose of these giftings is less about running an organisation, and more about bring us to maturity in love so that we fully represent Christ to each other and to the world. Th...

In a first of its kind gathering in the Rouse Hill region, many churches gathered to worship Jesus and minister healing. Tim & Debbie Ferris lead the teaching a ministry time from Isaiah 53, where we see that our healing was purchased for us at the cross. As we follow Jesus’ way of ministering healing we find that breakthrough becomes a normal expression of the compassion of Jesus. We heard a numb...

Tim returns to the series on the book of Ephesians, picking up at chapter 3, verses 14-21. Here we see an apostolic prayer of Paul’s where he opens the curtain and gives this body an insight into how an apostle prays. It’s a different kind of prayer than one a pastor prays. This powerful prayer shows the importance of both power and love being demonstrated through the ekklesia, such that the full...

In this first teaching of 2025 (despite two failed attempts), Tim revisits the foundational teaching on “the Ekklesia” - the Greek word Jesus used when He said, “I will build my church…” A core part of our journey right now is discovering what Jesus really envisioned when He made that statement. The word wasn’t typically used in a spiritual context in that day. Jesus took a secular concept, which...

In the fourth message in this series on the book of Ephesians, Tim takes us through Ephesians chapter 3 - well some of it anyway... Verses 10 and 11 are some of the most powerful verses in the New Testament in describing how God wants to work through the church to accomplish His mission of bringing everything under the headship of Christ. What is the “manifold wisdom of God” and how do we make it...
