The TREASURY

We all have needs, and it's so easy to think that when we're in need we cannot meet the needs of others, let alone the Kingdom. We can come to church and be involved in the Kingdom, but face real economic struggles so giving wouldn't make any sense at all, in the natural. But the hope of the Kingdom is that we do not merely operate in the natural, but have a supernatural power beyon...

It's so easy to make decisions on impulse. Oftentimes it feels like the right thing to do; we feel a compulsion and we want to take decisive action. But decisive action isn't effective when it doesn't deliver the desired results. Sometimes when we make impulse-driven decisions it can cost us dearly, but that's not what God would have for us. In our CONNECT Service, Pastor Mike...

Sacrifice can almost come across as a bad word. In this generation of putting yourself first, it definitely seems like it's not something that is so readily embraced. Many feel that in sacrificing, they lose, and that doesn't serve them well. But what scripture teaches us is sacrifice brings life.  This particular SUNDAY SERVICE was Remembrance Sunday and as we remembered and honoured th...

Life can be very distracting. It makes sense, there are a lot of things that concern us. In the face of all of this, it's easy to lose sight of what's valuable. But many times life will reveal what we deem as valuable and that can be for positive or negative effect. In this CONNECT Service Pastor Mike takes us to the book of 2 Kings as we explore the idea of "The Important Things&qu...

It can be easy to get comfortable, and we remain stuck in the same place. However, there are times when that place (that comfort zone) can soon become a place of great discomfort. We can feel like there are things opposing us, working against us - even squeezing us. But what is the lesson in those moments? What is God trying to communicate to us? In our SUNDAY SERVICE, Pastor Mike explores one pos...

Action and reaction, cause and effect... these are natural forces that we accept and apply in our universe. We understand them to varying degrees and we embrace them, but to truly understand why things happen and how to maximise the good outcomes we desire we must first understand where these forces come from. Although some agree life would teach us that these forces are indeed laws, these laws ar...

God has emotions! Yes - That's right. God has emotions. We can see it all throughout scripture, and what is so encouraging is that He is a passionate God who cares greatly for those He created, especially those He's redeemed. The problem is, do those in whom Christ is supposed to dwell and are supposed to be filled by His Spirit? Much of humanity's issues are likely found in the fac...

As we get further along in our life walks, we can find ourselves becoming increasingly distant and disconnected from people. Because we're tired or perhaps because we think we're okay we lose the value of social connection. This is an issue in the Kingdom of God. Distance and having no real ties of consequence can leave us vulnerable in times of trouble.  God created us as social creatur...

It is easy to come to the conclusion that the limits we live with(in) are is the full extent of our realities. This doesn't provide much hope, when often times our desire is to live beyond restrictions, be it economically, relationally, even with what we have to offer. The Holy Spirit wants to show us that our limits do not determine the extent of God's power through Christ.  Pastor Mike...

Baptism is often looked at as a moment or an event in the life of a believer. It's not very often that we think about baptism having a life-long implication beyond our testimony and our being baptised as an event. Could there be more to it than that? What does scripture say about it? Pastor Mike takes us to the writings of the Apostle Paul to bring an argument that highlights a holistic view...

Many look at worship as simply singing religious songs; perhaps even to the point that singing alone is the act of worship. The issue with this is that we can sing "worship" to God and our hearts be far from Him. God speaks in Isaiah, and says there can be a disconnect between "lip worship" and "heart worship". Pastor Mike takes us to Romans, where he lays a foundatio...

"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6) This is a well known scripture amongst Christian circles, and very timely for our generation. The prevailing wisdom and ideology around parenting today seems to be amiss. Yet, at the same time there is so much institutionally and socially that seemingly robs parents of their God-giv...

As God desires to invite people into His Great House for a feast reminiscent of Christmas Dinner; a feast where there's harmony and joy and people let bygones be bygones, there are vessels He desires to use. Pastor Mike takes us through Paul's epistle exploring how God desires to use those in His house like Fine China to host outsiders in His Great House. We hope this message blesses you...

Sometimes in life, we experience recurring issues or things we can't seem to shake - even generationally. The issue is we're too often oblivious or blissfully ignorant to how these things start and we don't realise that we're carrying things on our journey that have provided an access point for the things. In our SUNDAY SERVICE, Pastor Mike takes us to the book of Genesis to pr...

Oftentimes, in life we are looking for the miraculous to occur or happen in our lives; some kind of breakthrough... But with much of our hopes come unbelief, which undermines our faith and the things we're believing for, and can disqualify us from receiving a miracle. In our CONNECT service, Pastor Mike takes us to Mark 6 where we address this and find the places where Jesus moves. Our prayer...

Let's be honest, many times in life we can really allow our emotions to get the best of us... and dare I say influence our decisions. Too often, those decisions don't lead to good outcomes. How we process our emotions is super crucial when it comes to enjoying our lives how God intended us to. In our SUNDAY SERVICE, Pastor Mike ministers along these lines and even speaks from a personal...

We often think that all believers are equal but what the text we looked at today shows us is that there are indeed levels to this! We are equal in value, yes, but the Kingdom has levels. In our CONNECT Service Pastor Mike takes us to Mark's gospel to learn how to get the most out of God and His Kingdom. We hope this message is a blessing and a help to you. We'd love to hear how the messag...
