Windsor Park Baptist Church

Neels Janse van Rensburg is the CEO of The Bible Society of NZ and challenges us to embrace that the God who saves is the God who sends. Whether we are preachers or postmen, bridge builders or homemakers, God has work for us to do. The question he asks us to answer: What is our calling as part of God's mission?

Romans 8:1-11 is a powerful passage for those who want to live in the power of the Spirit and not by the failings of the flesh. Heather takes us through these life-changing words!

At a time when mental health illness is at an all-time high, we need to know it's not a taboo subject, is in the Bible, and that we can be part of helping people through it. In her message, Naomi shows us just how prophetic the ministry of Equip is, and how Windsor Park plays a powerful way of being the hand and feet of Jesus.

Romans 7:24-25 says, 'What a wretched person I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!' It's a powerful statement that shows the importance of spiritual growth - and Grant pushes us in that direction in this significant message.

The letter to the Romans is a challenging read (& even more of a challenge to apply), just listen to Caleb's message on Chapter 6, Verses 15-23 for evidence of that! But, it's life-changing if embraced, and this message challenges us to think about letting go of the things we become slaves to, that aren't Jesus.

Baptism is a significant spiritual act of obedience for followers of Jesus - this is what the Apostle Paul says in Romans 6:1-15. Grant continues our journey through the book of Romans, today with a challenge both for those who have been baptised, and for those who haven't.

John takes us through Ezekiel 37:1-14, a somewhat familiar passage, but with a life-changing application - being attentive listeners to the Word and courageous speakers of the Word, because Word and Spirit go together. Powerful!

Grant looks at the second half of Romans 5 - Verses 12-21, where Paul talks about the difference that one person makes; firstly, Adam, and secondly Jesus ... and then challenges us to think about our story and the difference our one life can make in another life - it's a powerful word and challenge!

In Week 9 of our series in the book of Romans, Grant takes us into Chapter 5, where the Apostle Paul changes his direction from the first four chapters as he starts to talk about the fruit of knowing we are saved by faith in Christ, alone. The effects of knowing this deep in our heart are ... life-changing!

We hear from 3 of our Windsor Park community (Debbie Trent, Prisca Pieters & Dennie Davidson) as they talk about the calling God has put on their lives - which challenges us to think about the calling God has put on our lives.

Romans 4 concludes a long opening section of the letter to the church in Rome. Heather gives us a powerful challenge of accepting that we are saved by faith alone and not through any effort of our own. It's a life-changing truth to accept!

The word ' all ' is a powerful word in the early chapters of the book of Romans. In this message, Grant looks at the end of Chapter 3 (verses 27-31) and the significance of the word 'all' which encourages us to stop dealing with the divisions that often occur in the church.

Aidan takes us through Romans 3:21-26 which contains one of the more 'famous' passages from the letter to the Roman church, a passage that applies to all of us, 'For all have sinned ...', BUT, there is good news, and Aidan shares that with us!

Grant continues our series through the book of Romans, today looking at Chapter 3 Verses 1-20 where the Apostle Paul discusses how the Law of Moses (or what we might call 'rules') show us that we totally rely on God because of our total inability to live up to them.

It's Easter Sunday! We celebrate the  unbelievably believable fact of the resurrection of Jesus that continues to shape billions of lives around the world. Grant looks at 7 things that demonstrate the reality of this event - and challenges us to live in their truth!

Grant takes us through the 2nd chapter of the letter to the Romans (Chapter 2:1-29), which sums up all the content of Chapter 1, starting with the word, 'therefore', and delving into a very challenging application - don't judge people, because none of us are perfect. A challenging chapter for sure!

Naomi Cowan (CEO of Equip - www.equip.net.nz), shares her personal story though transplant surgery, and how that has helped her grow deeper spiritually.

In Ethan's last message before he takes up a new role with the Baptist Union of NZ, Ethan takes us through 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, a powerful passage that helps us be reconciled to God, and then to go out and help others become reconciled to God - it's an inward and outward action.

Caleb takes us through a section of Romans we don't normally read of memorise ... Romans 1:18-32 that is often titled in the Bible, 'God's Wrath Against Humankind.' But it's actually good news, if we apply what Paul is writing!

Grant takes us through Paul's famous words in Romans 1:16-17, and challenges us to think about how we could live likewise, being not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.

Emily Duncan shares the story of her life and introduces a new ministry that she is developing in Windsor Park called STAND - a ministry to those who have suffered trauma and addiction.

Grant introduces our major 2023 preaching/teaching series that takes us through the letter to the Romans, a book in the Bible with so much insight and depth that when we grasp its truths, it changes, everything!

It's Vision Sunday and Windsor Park's Senior Pastor, Grant Harris, talks through a powerful passage in 2 Corinthians 2:14-16, that supports the evolving prophetic vision for Windsor Park and it's ministries.

It's Waitangi Day Weekend in New Zealand. Ethan Miller explores the theme of covenant that we see in the Bible between God and his people and challenges us to think about what covenant might mean for the people of God in relation to our history in Aotearoa NZ with the Treaty of Waitangi.

In the final week of our January series, Resolutions That Stick from Proverbs 3, Grant looks at two challenging resolutions, that if lived out, show that we're producing the fruit of God's wisdom ... where the rubber hits the road, so to speak. A challenging message for us all!
