The TREASURY

Las Vegas is called Sin City for good reason—built on indulgence, excess, and escape. But it’s not just a modern problem. In Genesis 11, humanity built Babel, trying to reach heaven without God. The issue wasn’t just a tower—it was the insecurity and rebellion driving it: “Let us make a name for ourselves.” Like bricks baked from dust, they built from brokenness, not trust. We still do this—constr...

It's Baptism Sunday at hackneyph.church. And Pastor Mike takes us to Acts 8, where we meet an Ethiopian official returning from Jerusalem, spiritually curious and unknowingly being drawn by God. As the gospel is explained, the eunuch believes and is baptised—declaring a new citizenship in Heaven . Just like N.W.A’s “Straight Outta Compton” shaped identity, this eunuch leaves the water Straigh...

In 1951, Irving Gordon penned Unforgettable —a simple love song made legendary by Nat King Cole. Not flashy, not complex. Just pure, timeless, and sincere. Pastor Mike informs us that that’s Peter’s point in 1 Peter 3: true beauty isn’t what fades—it’s what lasts . In a world chasing status, style, and surface. As a part of our Single Seminar with the Enfield Church, Pastor Mike reminds us that wh...

Many know the Lord’s Prayer, which cries out for God’s Kingdom to come on earth. But how does that actually happen? In Matthew 16:13–19 , Jesus tells Peter, “I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.” These keys symbolize authority —a delegated, judicial power from God to His people. Just as keys give access, the authority Jesus gives allows believers to bind what’s illegitimate and loose...

Cities are to be prominent and an attractive place, full of promise; a place of dreams.  In our new SUNDAY SERVICE preaching series, our first episode focuses on the church as the "city on a hill" that Jesus describes in Matthew 5:11.  Pastor Mike takes us through scripture to help us understand the importance of this idea, because it's meant to be a blessing to the whole world. We...

Sometimes we wonder why we feel like we're being blocked in life, or why prayers aren't being answered. It doesn't have to be for things that are sin! It's not always about that. Sometimes, even with things that seem good, just, or right there's a blockage. Why? In our SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE service, Pastor Mike causes us to examine the idea of Divine Diversions, and explore th...

When tragedy or dark seasons occur, or even when life just happens upon us, we can become very nearsighted, focusing on the issue or problem, whatever is immediately before us. It becomes very hard to see beyond that! We struggle to see what else could be happening, which can make us miss the good or the hope that is before us. In our Easter SUNDAY SERVICE, Pastor Mike brings the reality of Resurr...

According to tradition, it was around this time (a Wednesday night) where a deal was done, that changed humanity forever, whilst effectively sealing one man's fate. One deal, where a price was set. We all have a price; and the devil is willing to pay it.  What Pastor Mike covers our CONNECT Service message, however, we don't determine what we pay, and within the price there are hidden ch...

"And there was silence in heaven for about half an hour..." An interesting scripture. When silence speaks at significant volume... Could God's silence be a precursor to some kind of action? Many people struggle with God's silence. It's like when we don't hear Him, or we don't see Him move, we're convinced nothing is happening and that nothing will! In the se...

Living in the last days presents the need for our lives to remain right before the One who sits on the throne and the Lamb, as well as a need for the Church of Jesus Christ to partner with God in a rescue mission. This mission is greater than any other cause in human history because what is at stake is more than the physical; land, territory, and even the physical body and lives of people. The pos...

One can wonder why we enter into patterns and cycles that we'd rather not be in. But have we ever considered that our activity in life produces more of the same fruit of that said activity? - Many are aware of the truth found in the state, "a man reaps what he sows." It's actually embedded universally into everything around us. Generally speaking, what we frequently give oursel...

How can God's people's suffering be what happens in the context of a judgement that has come from God? How can the people of God, prior to a period of wrath, escape this great suffering, and yet another group of His people, now in another period, be the subject of absolute injustice?  This text, if not looked at carefully, can easily paint God in the wrong light. However, it also has pre...

As believers, we understand that we can pray about and pray for things. The issue is that far too often, we have a passive approach. We take this passivity into our pursuit of the will of God for our lives, and that won't cut it when the enemy is aggressive. Some things we won't win if there's no fight! The truth of this is even more potent when some of the things we desire sit squa...

We can often wonder why we are not succeeding or why we're not breaking through. Well, what if we have every opportunity, and because of our own insecurities, negative emotions and impulses, we sabotage our prosperity?  In our SUNDAY SERVICE, Pastor Mike shows us how our soul has colour, and the colour on the inside determines that of the outside. The hope of this message is that through Jesu...

Carrying on from our previous SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE message on El Roi, The God Who Sees, Pastor Mike takes us to the first revelation of this in scripture from the book of Genesis. When we want to know about God's nature, it's always good to find that in the beginning so we may learn the pattern throughout the rest of scripture. Still, the message and the hope is that we can have an encounte...

We can easily assume the idea of favour is something automatic, as if people are just born with it, or we can feel it is for us, or perhaps not for us. Often, this is down to our experiences, our outlook and what we've allowed ourselves to believe. It's not uncommon for people to feel like they cannot be successful because of their particular context. It's also common for people to...

Sometimes as believers, we can struggle to know our place and even if we know it theoretically, often we don't even understand how it all works. To be seated with Christ... what's that all about? What does it mean? How does that help us when we're not even in heaven yet? Pastor Mike takes us to Ephesians, where we learn a crucial truth about our inheritance and our identity in Chris...

When we think of God, He can often seem distant, or the idea of an all-knowing, all-powerful God can seem too lofty, too out of reach... a little too grand for us. It's easy to feel like we're unseen in a world that is so vast, let alone crazy. Life is often unrelenting and filled with troubles and questions but little answers. Sometimes we just want to know if we're seen. Pastor Mi...

For the longest time, the idea of searching for love has filled our media. However, the rhetoric seems to be about the lack of good men or women available. The focus is often on how small the pool is for our search and finding the "right person", but there seems to be less focus on being the "right person".  Pastor Mike takes us into "The Waiting Room" where we learn...

So many people are horror movie fans. The industry grosses billions of dollars in revenue, but Hollywood could never imagine such scenes as in this message on its own without first consulting the Bible and its apocalyptic literature. The idea of the Grim Reaper seems fantastical until we learn that this figure may be based on the fourth instalment of our series. The implications are grave. It will...
