This message takes a look at Matthew 5:21-26. With the coming of Jesus there is a new way of doing things. We are challenged to consider the things we are to think on and to consider who is our brother? Maturing in Christ is the aim, with the narrow way leading to life.

"Baptism is not just about eternal life but about walking into the newness of life that is eternal".  In Romans chapter 8 Paul discusses the beauty and power of our new life in Christ. Habits, flaws and sins of the past are buried in baptism. Take a listen to find out more good news.

The world says that if we have a longing you should have it met - a culture of immediate gratification. Religion sees our desires as bed - a culture of repression and suppression. This message takes a look at Matthew 5:27-30 and helps us to find Kingdom solutions for life situations.

Following Jesus and living the Beatitudes leads to divine life but it also leads to persecution. The final Beatitude is not limited to those who suffer violent persecution; to be rejected and ridiculed and misunderstood is part of living the Jesus way. This final beatitude comes with the same blessing as the first.

The 8th Day is part of the Passion Week around Easter. Here where learn that the the 8th Day is where new creation breaks into the old with promises of forgiveness and life. 

By calling His followers salt and light Jesus is saying that we are vital to the world as a preserving agent in society, restraining corruption and shining as a visible witness.  We are challenged to consider that salt loosing its saltiness is equivalent to Christians loosing their Christlikeness.

Here we are encouraged to understand that the language of Christianity is that something has already been done; Christ has done for us what we could not do for ourselves. Our salvation is not based on us being good. Our salvation is based on God being good.

The Beatitudes reveal the personality and the heart of Jesus. This 5th Beatitude “Blessed are the Merciful” tells us that blessed are the ones who show loyal love and grace” Unique to this Beatitude is the fact that it is the only Beatitude where the blessing and the promise match. When we extend mercy to others this positions our being to be in a place of receiving God’s mercy and healing in our...

The message by one of Liberty's Elders looks at what is important to God, what it means to see God and what we can do to develop a heart that is pure.

To follow Jesus means that we are invited to live in the peace that He gives us - peace with God, peace with Jesus, peace within ourselves, offering and making peace in the world around us In this message Ps Trent looks at the difference between peacemakers and peacekeepers, as well as challenging our thinking process around managing conflict. Learn how to live with inner peace.

Here Trent looks at "What does meekness look like?" and "What does it mean to inherit the earth?"  We learn that meekness means full of power, but restraining that power for the sake of love.  When Jesus says the meek will inherit the earth He is directly quoting Ps 37 which is all about God's plan to elevate the poor and oppressed and the unimportant,

Here we are reminded that Blessed means "How fortunate". We learn that God is mighty to save and that our righteousness does not depend on what we do but on what God has done. Will we hunger and thirst to know Him?

Why the Kingdom matters so much is because our salvation is not just about 'me'.   In this message Kim talks compares the two different kingdoms (satan's and God's) and calls us to be part of the advance of God's Kingdom. It's when we love others that we get to live our best life.

The way of Jesus is more than a philosophy of life, a moral system or a list of do's and don'ts. It is a way of life where we apprentice to Jesus, where we live The Way. The Sermon on the Mount will lead us to a life long journey that sees us transformed into a people of love.

In this message Trent looks at the author of suffering (satan), the Redeemer of our suffering (Jesus) and the Redemption of our suffering. The Biblical story does not dignify our suffering in the present but promises to bring about its decisive defeat in the end.

Here Trent highlights that the Christian life is not about keeping a set of rules but about being transformed. As we work out our salvation (a command from scripture) its about the recovery of the divine nature we have lost. In this message we see that following Jesus looks like growing in faith, hope and especially love.

In this introduction to our upcoming Sermon on the Mount series, Trent expounds on what it means to live the Jesus Way. We are not just believers but called to live a lifestyle. The gospel cannot be reduced to just receiving Jesus as personal Saviour, as important as that is. We are called to proclaim the new birth and demonstrate the new Kingdom. Salvation is becoming the kind of person God inten...

In this message Kevin highlights 4 things every disciple should know as it relates to vocation, adoption, location and invitation.

In the western world it can be hard to depend on God as we have so many things propping us up. Here Kim looks like what it means to be poor in spirit, that we might depend on God for all our needs.

The new way of knowing God through the glory of the incarnation

John tells us that the true light which enlightens everyone has come into the world. The light shines in the darkness will not overcome it. In Isaiah's day the days were coming. With the coming of Christ the days have now arrived.

The Word joined us in humanity that we might have power to become the sons and daughters of God. What Jesus Christ is by nature, we are called to become by grace.
