Northern Rivers Pentecostal Church

In Luke 4, Jesus stood in the synagogue and read from Isaiah 61. He declared the acceptable year of the Lord, but He stopped before reading about the day of vengeance. That pause shows us the mercy of God. Judgment is still coming, but right now the door of mercy is still open. The gospel still needs to be preached. Broken hearts still need to be healed. Captives still need deliverance. Blind eyes...

In this message, It’s Already In The House , we look at the powerful story of the widow in 2 Kings 4:1-7. She came to the prophet desperate, broken, and facing a situation that looked final. Her husband was dead, her debt was real, and the creditor had come to take her sons. But Elisha asked her one question: “What hast thou in the house?” The miracle didn’t begin with what she didn’t have. It beg...

Small things can have large consequences when they are left unchecked. In this Bible study, we look at the warning found in Scripture about little foxes that spoil the vines, little fires that can spread through careless words, and little leaven that can affect the whole lump. From Song of Solomon 2:15, James 3:5-6, and Galatians 5:9, we are reminded that not every danger looks obvious at first. A...

Guest speaker Breanna Wilson shares a powerful message titled The Potter and Me , taken from Jeremiah 18. This message reminds us that even when life leaves us feeling broken, scarred, empty, or worn down, we are still in the hands of the Potter. Through the lives of Naomi, Paul, and Job, we see that God doesn’t throw the vessel away. He restores, reshapes, and gives new purpose. No matter what se...

The greatest danger isn’t simply that corrupt influence exists. It’s when that influence is recognised but allowed to remain unchecked. In Revelation 2, Jesus rebuked the church at Thyatira because they had allowed a corrupt spiritual influence to continue teaching, seducing, and leading His servants away from obedience. In this message, Pastor Brian looks at the biblical account of Jezebel and ex...

Isaiah 40:31 gives us one of the most familiar promises in Scripture: “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” But this promise isn't just about soaring like an eagle. It's about learning to depend on the God who never grows weary. In this message, we look a...

What if the problem isn't the branches, but the root? In this powerful message from Matthew 3:1-12, we examine the ministry of John the Baptist and his urgent call to repentance. As Israel stood on the threshold of the Messiah's arrival, John declared that the axe was already laid to the root of the trees. His message wasn't about surface-level religion or outward appearances. It was a...

Bro Ej ministered the word this morning on Chosen With a Promise

In a world that’s become casual about almost everything, it’s possible to slowly become casual with holy things without even realising it. This message looks at the danger of spiritual drift, the loss of reverence, and why the fear of the Lord still matters in the Church today. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom...” Proverbs 9:10 (KJV) Throughout scripture, whenever people truly enco...

Faith That Shapes Generations reminds us that some of the greatest things in our lives didn’t begin with us. Through the examples of Timothy, Moses, Lois, Eunice, and faithful parents, this message explores how genuine faith protects, covers, guides, and impacts those who come after us. Real faith doesn’t stop with one person. It lives in the home, becomes personal in each generation, trusts God w...

Before Isaiah ever said, “Here am I,” he first saw the Lord high and lifted up. He was undone by holiness, cleansed by the altar, and only then could he truly surrender. Too often we want the sending without the breaking. We want purpose without repentance. We want assignment without an encounter. In this message, we walk through Isaiah 6 and uncover the deeper meaning of the Hebrew word Hineni :...

The disciples found themselves in a storm they couldn’t control, with waves filling the boat and fear taking over their hearts. But in the middle of it all, Jesus rises, speaks to the wind and the sea, and everything changes in a moment. Their question still echoes through time: “What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” In this message, we look past just the storm and...

In Mark 13, Jesus gives His disciples a powerful and urgent warning about the last days. Before speaking about wars, earthquakes, and tribulation, He begins with something far more personal: deception. “Take heed lest any man deceive you.” This message explores why deception is the first and greatest warning Jesus gave, and why it’s more dangerous than outward persecution. We’re living in a time w...

Have you ever looked into the night sky and been overwhelmed by the vastness of creation? In this powerful message, Sis Danielle reminds us that when we truly consider the heavens, we’re confronted with the greatness of God and the faithfulness of the One who holds all things together. From David beneath the stars to Job in the middle of suffering, this message calls us to lift our eyes above our...

“ I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. ” – Revelation 1:18 (KJV) Easter Sunday is more than a date on the calendar. It’s a reminder that something happened that changed everything. We remember the cross, the burial, and the resurrection—and all of that matters. But this message goes deeper than just looking back. It...

What we want right now and what God has planned for our future don’t always line up… and that’s where the real battle begins. In this message, Aligning Today’s Desires with Tomorrow’s Destiny , we explore the daily tension between temporary satisfaction and eternal purpose. Every choice we make is shaping who we’re becoming. The question isn’t if we have desires, it’s which desires we’re allowing...

In Daniel 3:13–16, we find three men faced with a moment that would define everything. The pressure was real. The threat was serious. Bow… or burn. But their response still echoes today: “If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us… But if not , be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods...” (KJV) This message by EJ Wilson challenges us to move beyond conditional f...

Today we’re looking at one of the most well-known promises in the Bible — 2 Chronicles 7:14 . It’s a verse that many people quote, but often without fully considering the setting in which God spoke it. These words were given after the dedication of Solomon’s temple. God appeared to Solomon at night and responded to the prayer Solomon had made in the previous chapter. Solomon had prayed that when I...

Children are a gift from God, and with that gift comes a sacred responsibility. In this message, we explore the biblical meaning of dedicating a child to the Lord and what it truly means to train up a child in the way he should go (Proverbs 22:6). Drawing from Scripture, we examine the Hebrew word Kanak , which reveals that training a child involves setting boundaries, initiating them into the fun...

Today we’re looking at one of the most sobering accounts in the Old Testament — 1 Kings 13. It’s a story that’s been whispering a warning to God’s people for nearly 3,000 years: Beware of the second voice that tries to override the first word of God. This isn’t about a pagan king or an obvious enemy. It’s about a man of God who heard clearly… obeyed boldly… and still ended in tragedy. Why? Because...

In this powerful message, we dive into the story of Elisha the prophet from 2 Kings 7, set in a time of crisis in Israel. The city of Samaria was under siege by the Syrian army, and the people were starving. Amid this desperate situation, God speaks through Elisha, promising an incredible turnaround. But not everyone believed. The king’s official responded with doubt, saying even if God opened the...

There are moments in life when we’ve prayed, believed, and done everything we know to do… and the storm still hasn’t stopped. The waves keep crashing. The wind keeps blowing. And we’re left wondering where God is in it all. In this message, we look at the powerful promise found in 1 Peter 5:10 and discover that our suffering isn’t wasted. It has purpose. God doesn’t always remove us from the storm...

Guest Speaker: Rev Jaime Copian Apostolic Life Church This message was preached on Sunday morning as part of our special weekend of ministry with Rev Jaime Copian from Apostolic Life Church. Preaching from John 1:1–14 (KJV), we’re reminded of the powerful truth: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” The eternal God robed Himself in flesh. The Creator stepped into creation. The Word di...

Guest Speaker: Rev Jaime Copian Apostolic Life Church This message was preached on Saturday night as part of a special weekend of ministry with Rev Jaime Copian from Apostolic Life Church. Ministering from 1 Samuel 17:38–40 (KJV), Rev Copian takes us into the defining moment before David faced Goliath. Saul armed David with armour that looked impressive and battle ready. But David said, “I cannot...

If This Is THAT… Where’s THAT At? | Acts 2 Pentecost Sermon On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Ghost didn’t fall quietly. It came with a sound from heaven, like a rushing mighty wind, and fire sat on every one of them. What started in an upper room spilled into the streets and shook an entire city. Peter stood up and declared, “This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel.” But here’s the ques...
