Staying Positive Under Pressure looks more at not allowing specific outside influences to impact your IDENTITY in learning how to stay positive in challenging situations. We live in turbulent, changing times, with more pressures on relationships and families. How can we safeguard our inner world from crumbling under the weight of stressful seasons, and how do we stay positive and strong? Here are...

A COVENANT PEOPLE – a passion God delights in. Covenant is one of the most central theological themes running through the Bible. There is no denying that covenant is the passionate redemptive theme of God's nature extended towards humanity. Covenant in both the Old Testament and New Testament is centred on the ultimate New Covenant found in Christ and points to the ultimate expression of grace...

Friends, every now and then, a message comes along that can change the course of time and our future. This message is no exception. The Jesus is My Hero series focuses on How Jesus is the Hero of my heart, which means He has saved me and filled me with mission and purpose. Recognising that first, Jesus works in me and enables me. He calls me to abide. He doesn’t leave me alone; He invites and beck...

In this message, we uncover the process of life and ministry in an unusual place, the lead-up to feeding the five thousand. Jesus takes what we think is the subject matter and turns it upside down as another teaching opportunity. Part two of this message relates to the reason Jesus is the Hero of my (our) life because He seeks to energise me in His presence through renewal and empower me in His pr...

JESUS IS MY HERO. People all around the world are looking for Heroes. People who will inspire, delight, and influence us significantly even give us hope. This message looks at one individual named Jesus, the Son of God - the Son of man, the greatest of all heroes. In many areas of life, the word of God reveals that Jesus is our Hero. Pastor Louis looks at three core areas of why Jesus should be ou...

Pentecost is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness and love towards releasing his promise over His people. Pentecost reminds us that it is not my ability but God's ability through His Spirit working in me. May we never lose our hunger to know God more, to be empowered supernaturally for mission? And how we may be full of expectancy for God to move by His Spirit upon and through His people...

Hello friend, Sunday's message was powerful for those who desire to serve Christ without unnecessary limitations. In John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. NIV It is one thing to be Christian and a follower of God; it is another thing to live in that position daily. Exercising every promise, every benefit and everything Christ died to offer on behalf of us (as follower...

Fear not. Two of the most powerful words you can ever hear. Why? Because the Bible instructs us NOT to fear! Because the world in which we live is saturated with a fear mentality and culture. It is all around us. Fear is nothing new it was evident in the Garden of Eden; if fear can be present in the most presented perfect place, how much more can it invade our life? Friends, the goal is not to com...

Geoff Maddock from Baptist Mission Australia speaks from Acts16:11-13. In these verses we read of Paul, his companions and Lydia. Geoff encourages each of us to step out of our comfort zones and submit our longings to the will and work of God. He also encourages us to be witnesses of peace, to be interested in real, loving relationships and allow God to do the convicting and heart opening.

Not Good Enough. What lies are you believing, and what truth are you denying? That is the heart of this message. Pastor Louis sought to understand our unregenerate nature and sinful bias toward God's love and grace. Yet more than that, we are separated spiritually (of true life) from God because of our sinful nature. While the world desperately seeks affirmation and acceptance. God's grace...

Good Friday Easter message is for everyone, particularly for the Christian, as our daily mantra of life. Andrew Gurr (Elder) powerfully provides us with the challenge Easter should offer, essentially to be right with God. May you know your spiritual space, that sense of knowing, growing and flowing in your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Knowing Jesus More. Are you in good shape? It is a pointe...

A DIVINE SHIFT – IS COMING  APRIL 2-2023 God is on the move, and His heart is to see lives change. This message prepares you to allow God to create a divine shift in you, your heart, your thinking, your circumstances, your plans and your family. Sometimes a shaking occurs first before the shift can truly make its impact. A reminder of how God is passionately involved in our lives, from brokenness...

How do we press on in times of uncertainty? From the words and example of Paul, Pastor Louis encourages each of us to stand firm in the faith, to hold onto God's promises and to courageously set goals working towards them with persistence and determination.

The words of Jesus are still unfolding today. That entrapment around the question of fasting becomes an opportunity for Jesus to address the elephant in the room. Jesus didn’t come to offer an upgrade to the law. Jesus didn’t come to regress between old and new covenants. No, Jesus came to usher in a new, eternal system of grace and life. This Message cuts to the core of why we do what we do and h...

"Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing." These were the words of Jesus as He hung on the cross. Nerrelie shares how forgiveness is key in Jesus' teaching and the importance that forgiveness holds to each of us as we live it out in our everyday lives. 

There is an incredible movement of God's spirit on the planet earth right now, and it can make us at times feel uncomfortable. Listen as Pastor Louis encourages each of us to seek more, to discover God afresh and allow Him to awaken, revive and renew us. 

We live in a world that chases the exciting and the thrilling. However, despite all the distractions Jesus' message "come follow me" is still the same and very relevant today. 

If our Christian walk is a halfhearted commitment we will soon discover that our walk lacks abundance, fullness and freedom. Today pastor Louis shares how to life the BEST LIFE by living it with devotion and wholeheartedly for the one who loves you most. 

Life can be busy, overwhelming, demanding, confusing and all-consuming. More than ever, we all have a need to have joy in our lives and God knows that our joy can be vulnerable.  Pastor Louis shares how we can have joy, how to keep it close and how to use it to lift us above our circumstances. 

A covenant is a spiritual binding relationship that is ordained and initiated by God. Listen as Pastor Louis shares what the power of covenant means and brings to your life.

Spiritual warfare is a very real reality that we contend with. 

Great to have Andrew with us on Sunday as he shares from Luke 22:39-46

Do you feel weary, tired, fatigued? The enemy relentlessly tries to wear us down, distracting us with lies and false truths. Jesus however wants us to come to Him when we are weary. He says that He will give us rest. 

People are people, nothing more. God is God, nothing less. Miracles are miracles, nothing else.

God loves you... you are His delight. By choosing to live by faith, we disable the strongholds of fear and doubt. The heart of God is that miracles and gifts are evident for the building up of God's people.
