LIFE Adelaide

This week, we kick off our new series ‘The Church’ with a message from Ps Dan McGaw as we explore God’s design for The Church. The church is not a building, it is a holy people. We are the church!

This week, we are joined by Ps Craig Clark as he encourages us that we have been healed to see with clarity. We receive vision from the Word of God as we walk with him!

This week, we conclude our Expansion series with a message from Ps Dan McGaw! The miraculous often starts with an unconventional request but miracles are unlocked when we respond in faith!

This week, we continue Expansion with a special message from Ps Dustan Bell! God is willing to work his plan through imperfect people; if we offer what we have to God, He is able to bring glory and honour to it.

This week, we continue our time of Expansion as Ps Dan McGaw encourages us to live a life where generosity overflows. God never intended generosity to be an event we participate in but a ministry we carry! 

This week, we kick off our time of Expansion with a special message from Ps Jabin Chavez! Why generosity?… the world of the generous gets larger and larger; those who help others are helped!

This Pentecost Sunday, we are joined by Ps Nadia Clark as she reminds us that there is more! There is so much more God wants to reveal to us, we can’t let ourselves become complacent. We have been given the Holy Spirit so that we might not just know about God, but so we could experience him.

This week, we are joined by Ps Graeme Leske, as he continues our series ‘Tear Down the Idols’ as we look at how control can replace our trust in God. Control is a mere illusion, while God’s character and Word is sure.

Success is not wrong, but it was never meant to be your shepherd! This week, Ps Dan continues our series ‘Tear Down the Idols’ as we reflect on how we view success. Wanting to succeed is not wrong but when we begin to build our worth on it, we allow it to become our shepherd.

Comfort is often an invisible but rather persuasive idol in our hearts and lives. This week we are joined by Ps Luke de Jong as we continue our series ‘Tear Down the Idols’. When comfort becomes our god, we stop growing, we stop serving people, and stop following Jesus. 

It’s possible for us to look close to God, but actually be distant from him. This week, Pastor Jacob continues the series on ‘Tearing down the Idols’, and explores the idol of self-image, and how we were created to bear Gods image and not our own.

Am I abiding in Christ or striving in my own strength? This week, Ps Ashari continues our ‘Tear Down the Idols’ series by expanding on the idol of independence. The world says that we need to be self-sufficient, but God says that we were designed for relationship. Spiritual maturity isn’t becoming more independent, it’s growing in our dependence on God!

Many of us say that God is first in our worlds, but our lives tell a different story. This week, Ps Dan kicks off our new series ‘Tear Down the Idols’ as we reflect on what we are prioritising in our lives. Idols promise life but will only drain us - only God will truely satisfy our Spirit.

“Suddenly there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord came down, and rolled aside the stone …” This Easter Sunday we gather together to celebrate the risen Christ! As Christians we can live with the expectation that God can work powerfully and suddenly in our lives.

So often we become focussed on solving our problems, but what if it is not a problem to be solved, but a lack of oil sustaining us? This week, we are joined by Ps Craig Clark who encourages us to fill ourselves with fresh oil. God calls us to live lives that have an abundance of oil!

Just because it’s dormant, doesn’t mean it’s dead. God is calling us to reignite the gifts that He has given us. This week, Ps Dan encourages us to ‘stir the flame, and silence the fear!’ We must engage in a spiritual battle against a spirit of intimidation - God wants to ignite what a spirit of intimidation seeks to smother.

Hope is not blind optimism, it is confident expectation in the character of God. This week, Ps Ashari concludes our series on prayer as she encourages us to pray with hope and expectation! Hope is a decision to see the yet to be seen as though it already is.

… and without faith it is impossible to please God. This week, Ps Jacob continues our series on prayer as we explore what it means to pray with faith. Prayer is one of our greatest acts of defiance against the enemy - it is a powerful weapon!

Prayer is a divine invitation to communion with God in everything! This week, Ps Ashari begins a new series centred around the power of prayer. If we fail to enter into prayer we fail to enter into the majority of blessings God wants to impart to us! 

Being a Christian means we've been called to a lifestyle of following. This Discipleship Sunday, Ps Dan McGaw shares our part to play in seeing multiplication take place in the Kingdom of God.

This Empower Sunday, we gather together as Ps Luke de Jong shares our focus for the year ahead - Fresh Oil. God is willing to fill any room that we create for him, not only to bless us, but the generations to come.

In the same way that physical hunger leads us to food, spiritual hunger leads us to Jesus. This Communion Sunday, we remind ourselves that Jesus is our source. He is the ‘true bread of heaven’ that sustains our spirit when we are in relationship with Him.

This morning, Ps Dan McGaw unpacks the discipline of prayer and fasting. Fasting is about going without food so that we will rely on our true source, God. It is a process of emptying ourselves so that we may see Jesus come and fill us up again.

This Christmas season, Ps Dan encourages us with the story of a Leper’s encounter with Jesus. Where everyone else moved away from the leper, Jesus stepped forward. In the same way Jesus steps into our mess, not around it, and gives us healing and wholeness.

Jesus gave an invitation to his disciples that he still extends to us today, “come and see!” This Christmas season, Ps Ashari encourages us to take Jesus’ invitation to come and see - to experience Jesus, ultimately being transformed by him. This season let’s ’go and tell’ encouraging others to come and see Jesus for themselves.
