In this episode, Adrian takes an honest look at Jesus’ words on forgiveness in the Lord’s Prayer and what it really means to let go of the debt that others owe us. With Scripture, relatable stories and reflections from his own journey, Adrian reminds us that forgiveness doesn’t depend on receiving an apology—and that it’s okay if healing still takes time. If you’ve ever wrestled with hurt, bitterness or resentment, this message offers encouragement to release what you’ve been carrying, make room for God’s freedom and take a meaningful step towards healing and reconciliation.

Adrian shares a practical message about what it really means to follow Jesus—not just watching from the sidelines, but joining in His mission. Looking at the way Jesus taught, equipped, and sent out His disciples, Adrian encourages us to spend time with Jesus through Scripture, prayer, community, and discipleship, trusting the Holy Spirit to work through us as we reach people and help build strong followers of Christ.

In this message, Adrian shares a warm and encouraging reminder that we don’t have to face life’s battles on our own. Through the stories of Joshua, Daniel and Bartimaeus, he explores how real courage grows when we trust God’s promises, stay grounded in His Word and listen for the Holy Spirit’s leading. If you’re facing fear, uncertainty or a challenge you can’t see your way through, this message will encourage you to fix your eyes on God, lean on His strength and remember that He is with you every step of the way.

Whilst prayer is such an important part of our lives. The disciples saw this, and they asked Jesus to teach them to pray. But when we become focused on a specific formula and the 'magic key' for successful prayers, and then our prayers don't get answered the way we think they should, we can become discouraged and even start to think that there is something wrong with how we pray. Instead of focusing on "How we should pray", consider asking yourself "Why I pray". Our prayer for you is that as you listen to this message, you will be inspired to explore for yourself why it is that you pray, and in doing so, that your personal relationship with God will go to new heights.

We all need to rest. In this fast-paced world, rest is important. Rest is even God's idea. He worked 6 days and then rested. But have you ever wondered why He wants us to rest? What is the purpose of our rest? In this message, part of a series on the 10 Commandments, Adrian explores the why behind the Sabbath. Our prayer is that this message blesses you today.

Just because we don't live in Bible times, where idols were created to represent gods that people worship, doesn't mean we don't have idols that we need to deal with today. In fact, for many people, the biggest idol is Self, because our desires affect the things we focus on. In today's message, a focus on the second commandment, we look at this, along with many other commandments, through a very different perspective - that of marriage. How does God feel about the idols in your life? Today, it's time to realign your focus onto God.

We all want a life that is empowered by the Holy Spirit, but before we step into that, we need to understand who the Holy Spirit is. It isn't just about living in the power of the Spirit; our focus needs to be on the presence of the Spirit, because it's in His presence where we get to know Him, and from His presence comes His power.

Have you ever wondered what Easter would have looked like through the eyes of Judas, the one who betrayed Jesus? Both Judas and Peter betrayed Jesus but had different outcomes. This message looks at Judas - someone we don't often focus on, but Judas, like the other disciples, not only saw everything Jesus did, he was included in the work Jesus did, but unlike the other disciples, there were some words that Judas never heard.

God has called each and every one of us, but do you know what you are called for? It's easy to think about what God will do 'one day', but He isn't asking us to wait for 'one day'. He is inviting us to partner with him 'to-day'. Our prayer is that this message will impact your life, and challenge you to take up the call, and partner with God for what He has for you to do this very day.

Fasting is something many people admit they struggle with but once we begin to include fasting as one of our spiritual disciplines, and we learn what it is from God’s perspective, it will change our thinking, our outlook, our motivation, our focus, our desire and our effectiveness.

What do you see when you pray? It's easy to speak about what we see with our eyes, but we need to change what we are looking at. Instead of praying about what we see, how would things change if we started to look at what God sees, and speak about that? In today's message, which is a part of the Words Matter series at C3 Hobart, Adrian brings some fresh insight for us to consider when we are praying. Align your vision with what God sees, and pray from that perspective.

Have you ever wondered how to pray in faith? Sometimes, when we pray, we don't always see the answers we are hoping for. Sometimes it can even feel like our faith is failing, or worse still, it can feel like God isn't listening which just isn't true. In today's message, Adrian shares some things you can do to help you stay in a place of faith when you are praying.

Faith is a topic that we can really get stirred by, but what do you do when your faith seems to be failing, and the answers to your prayers seem to be held back? In this message, we look at some of the possible things that are happening when we pray. Our prayer is that you are blessed by this message, and that you grow in your faith, because we serve a God who is faithful.

Many people desire peace, especially with everything we see going on around the world. But what exactly did God mean when He had the angels declare, "On earth peace, goodwill toward men"? This is a very powerful message. You don't want to miss this!

God wants you to do great things for His glory, but in order to stay balanced and humble before Him, we need to walk in the Fear of the Lord. By fear, we don't mean being afraid of God, but rather, being terrified to be away from His presence. This message is a challenging word on the importance of living in the Fear of the Lord. Our prayer is that this word will challenge you, and lead you to live a life of intimacy with God, like you've never had before.
