When God asked Abraham to pack up his things and leave everything known to him behind, he obeyed God without knowing the destination. Can you go without knowing? If you are willing to go, you would probably experience the best year of your life.

The Bible teaches us that you will always reap what you sow. It also teaches us that the choice ours. Are we sowing into the flesh or into the Spirit? The fruit will tell.

In the bible the two are one and the same thing. Hearing the word of God and obedience to it are the two sides of the same coin. One cannot claim to have heard God without the evidence of obedience to what he has said. 

Our experience of gratitude is enhanced by understanding that something has been done for us that we could not possibly do for ourselves - Such as what God has done reconcile us to Him.  On the other hand, a posture of entitlement does the opposite - leaving us unfulfilled in our relationship with Him.

This world is fleeting and cannot satisfy, but the Kingdom of God is a treasure worth giving everything for. Jesus calls us to lay down our lives to gain what can never be lost. 

Following up on the previous message of being a True Disciple, this message will focus on the wonderful gift Jesus gives to His followers that will enable them to pay the price of true discipleship. 

Jesus encountered three kids of people in his ministry. 1 )Those who openly opposed him, 2) large crowds who followed him because they loved the works he did and 3) true disciples, who left everything behind to follow him and intimately get to know him.  

What does it mean to finish well in your walk with Christ - staying faithful, running with endurance, and returning to our first love.

God isn't after perfection, but rather obedient hearts that trust Him through every season. It's often in our suffering that we are shaped, learning obedience and discovering His power working through us.

By this the world will know that you are my disciples...

This week we identify one of the great enemies of continually experiencing the presence of God in everyday life. 

The bible teaches us that Christ gave us some gifts to help us grow in our maturity as a believer. One of these gifts is quite surprising, but VERY POWERFUL if you allow it to work in your life. 

The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered it up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all the he has and buys the field. 

Something ha matured when it has reached the most advanced possible stage in a process. What does that look like for Christians? In what areas do we need to glow in order to be called mature followers of Christ?

A call to humility and teachability—reminding us that we only know in part, so we must listen well, speak with grace, and let our lives reflect Christ as we pursue truth together.

There’s no situation too hopeless when you ask the Spirit of God to come into it and breathe His reviving  life into it. He can turn your dry bones into His glorious army.

Pursuing Holiness  God calls us to live set apart—crucifying the flesh, fleeing sin, and walking as children of light. True holiness is found in repentance, surrender, and living fully in His presence.

We all know the Lord's Prayer Jesus taught in Matthew 6. Many believers recite this beautiful prayer by heart regularly. But what if Jesus intended to teach us HOW to pray instead of WHAT to pray... 

To be effective in the Kingdom of God, you have to give yourself as a living stone to God, the Master Builder, to place you in the right position for His purposes. Are you in position?

To have FAITH is one thing, to BE FAITHFUL is another. The Bible teaches us what will happen when we put the two together. 

Shaun Searle, visiting Elder, encourages us to be bold in following the Holy Spirit and trust Him to do great works for God. 

This message will help you recognise why you might be missing what God has for you, and give insight into how to position yourself correctly to walk in the fulness of what God planed for you. 

Most believers truly want to be used by the Holy Spirit for God's purposes, but somehow end up talking themselves out of the action when opportunities rise. Why is this? What can we do about it?
