Jonah finds himself in a place he never intended to be… The great fish 🐳 but what seems to be a disaster, is actually God's means of preserving him. After Jonah cries out to God, he is delivered, and given another opportunity to fulfil his calling 💬 in Part 2 we see that God's discipline is not necessarily the end of our story, and His grace gives us another opportunity to obey 🙌

Jonah refused God's call to preach to Nineveh 🙅‍♂️ because he saw the city through the lens of its problems, and not through God’s eyes 👀 but God pursued Jonah, exposed his disobedience, and reminded him of His power 🐳 as we begin a journey through Jonah’s story, we will see that we cannot run away from God's presence 🏃‍♂️ or escape His purposes 🙏

We’ve all suffered loss in our lives: relationships, respect, joy, passion 😔 sometimes we don’t mean to lose things, it just happens. Still, it can be hard to know how to find the things we’ve lost 🔍 in Part 3 we’re looking at the story of Elisha and the ax 🪓 we’ll learn that God cares about what we care about—even the small stuff. Because He loves us, He will work with us to restore our lost things 🙏

When life feels like too much, and we feel like we don’t have enough, we can be encouraged that “not enough” is often where God starts 🙌 in Part 3 of our series we’re looking at the story of the widow and Elisha, and seeing that God can use what we have to give us what we need 🙏 sometimes, the miracle we’re looking for starts with choosing to ask for help 💬

We’ve all experienced a situation or circumstance where we desperately needed God to move 😅 in Part 2 of our series we’ll learn that our greatest need becomes a gift when it drives us to depend on God 🙏 with worship and trust, we can shift our perspectives from our problems to God’s presence and power 🙌 whatever your need, prepare yourself to see God move!

Sometimes along our faith journey we may feel a little stuck 😅 and the tendency may be to depend on our own strength and understanding. But like Elisha, we’ll need to “burn the plows” that hold us back 🔥 so that we can obediently take a step of faith into God’s calling for our lives 👣 in our new series we’ll learn lessons from Elisha to help us live our calling 😌

Our heritage matters, our communities matter, and the places God has planted us matter 🌱 but our ultimate identity and allegiance belong to Jesus and His Kingdom 🙌 in Part 2 of Fight to Flourish we’re reminded to live faithfully as citizens of heaven, and to fight For the Kingdom first 🙏

As God brings new life, hope and opportunity, we must stay alert and refuse to become spiritually passive 😅 in a season of challenge and change, we’re called to stand our ground through prayer, faithfulness and action—and protect what God is restoring 🙏 in this two-part series we’re talking about how we should fight to flourish in the renewal God is bringing 🌱

Prayer isn't powerful because we know the right words, but because we are talking to a powerful God 💬 in the final message of Without Ceasing, we’re challenged to see prayer not as an occasional event or a task to tick off, but as a way of life 🙏 discover what it means to pray boldly, persistently, and confidently—and become people whose hearts continually turn toward God, without ceasing 😌

Prayer is the posture of a life continually turned toward God 😌 this Sunday we’re launching a 2-part series on praying without ceasing. In Part 1 we’ll see that prayer isn't a performance we have to perfect; it's an invitation to come into the presence of God 🙏

Faith grows through consistent obedience, perseverance, and trusting God beyond our insecurities 🙏 as we end our More series, we’re going to look at Timothy’s story and discover how God can use those who are willing to be faithful to Him 😌 let’s be encouraged to have More Faith 🙌

When we're willing to listen and follow, God can use even the smallest acts of obedience to make an eternal impact 🙏 in Part 5 of our series, we’re going to explore Philip's story 📖 and be reminded that purpose isn't always found in big, extraordinary moments, but often in simple, daily obedience to God's leading 😌

One word of encouragement, one person who believes in you, makes a greater impact than we may realise 🙏 in Part 4 of our series we’re talking about More Encouragement 😌 looking at Barnabas as an example, we’ll see how his seemingly simple acts of kindness and building others up led people to become who God created them to be. Let’s be encouraged to encourage others 💬

Hope isn't wishful thinking, it’s confident trust that God is working behind the scenes, even when we can't see Him 😌 through Esther's story, we'll discover that God is always at work—positioning His people, fulfilling His purposes, and remaining faithful in every season 🙌 and that gives us More Hope 🙏

We all desire love 🥰 we want to be loved, and we want to give love. But the love the world desires is not the kind of love that God calls us to. Real love chooses faithfulness, sacrifice, and commitment even when it's difficult ❤️ and if we want More Love, then we need more of Jesus and His love in our lives 🙏 in Part 2 we’re looking at Ruth’s story to learn more about living out love 😌
