Send us Fan Mail Are you exhausted from trying to earn what God has already freely given? This week we had guest minster, Ps Kaiden Ritchie of Calvary Church, New Mexico. Ps Kaiden preached a word rooted from Galatians 3:1-3 that cuts straight to the heart of one of the greatest traps believers fall into — trading the power of the Holy Spirit for the empty effort of human works. The difference between a life built on sweat and a life built on oil is everything. You cannot produce spiritual fruit through human effort alone. As Jesus reminds us in John 3, flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. Real transformation, real holiness, real fruit — it all flows from daily dependence on God, not from performing for him. You have been consecrated, set apart, and made holy through the blood of Jesus. Put down the staple gun. Stop trying to manufacture what only he can give. Come back to the Spirit who fuels everything.

Send us Fan Mail What does it truly mean for Jesus to be YOUR Lord? This Sunday, we were invited into a moment of consecration - a laying down of every weight and sin that keeps us from running our race of faith with endurance. Hebrews 12:1 calls us to strip away what entangles us, not by striving, but through the empowering work of the Holy Spirit. Like John the Baptist declared in John 3, "He must increase and I must decrease." That is the cry of a surrendered heart - and it is the cry the Lord is stirring in this church right now. As we enter TENT REVIVAL week, this is where we begin: on our knees, asking the Holy Spirit to search our hearts as David prayed in Psalm 139, confess what He reveals, and receive the freedom Christ died to give us. There is no condemnation, only His kindness leading us to repentance and deeper intimacy with Him.

Send us Fan Mail What are you doing with the blessing God has given you? Last night, Sam Wrener brought a powerful word from Matthew 25 that challenged us to stop asking "what do I have to do?" and start asking "who do I have to become?" to steward everything God has placed in our hands. Through the Parable of the Talents, we were reminded that the reward of faithful stewardship is not simply more blessing — it is entering into the joy of the Master. That is our deepest invitation. Not titles, not platforms, not achievements, but a genuine, abiding relationship with Jesus (John 15:4). The Master is coming back. The question is: are you ready? Whether it is your finances, your family, your career, or simply the gift of life itself — God has entrusted something to each of us. Let us be a people connected to the vine, trusting the Father like children, and continually filled with His Spirit. If you missed it, come be part of what God is doing at Tribes Church. He is moving.

Send us Fan Mail What if God's answer to your limitations is not "try harder" but "watch what I can do"? This Sunday, we explored the story of Gideon in Judges 6, a man hiding from his enemies who was called a "mighty man of valour" before he had done a single brave thing. God did not see Gideon as he was. He saw who Gideon would become. When Gideon's army of 32,000 was reduced to 300 against 135,000 enemies, it was not a mistake. It was God ensuring the glory would belong to him alone. The same principle applies to every impossible situation you are facing right now. The charge from this message is simple: remember what God has done in your life, and trust that what he has called you to is already accomplished in his hands. Your testimony has power. Your obedience matters. You have a place in this.

Send us Fan Mail What God can do in seven days will leave you speechless. This past week, our church witnessed a miracle in motion as a Future Faith offering that stood at $681,000 just one week ago surpassed $1.2 million. When you place your yes in the hands of Almighty God, nothing is wasted and nothing is impossible. In Luke 17, ten lepers were cleansed, but only one returned to fall at the feet of Jesus in gratitude. Today we chose to be that one. Before a single wall is touched or a room is built, we returned to thank the God who exceeded every expectation. Generosity is not an obligation, it is an invitation. And when a church says yes together, the harvest is beyond what we could ask, think, or imagine. To God be all the Glory. Tune in as we celebrate what the Lord has done and press forward into all He has prepared.

Send us Fan Mail Every seed has a story. Behind every act of generosity is a life being transformed by the gospel. This Sunday we were reminded that what we sow in faith does not just touch those around us — it reaches generations we may never meet. From a Bible passed down through four generations, to testimonies of provision, restored finances, and young people encountering the Holy Spirit for the first time — we saw the fruit of seeds faithfully sown. As Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 9:10-11, God multiplies the seed of the sower and increases the harvest of righteousness, enriching us in every way so that generosity overflows in thanksgiving to Him. We are not building rooms for the sake of rooms. We are building room for revival, room for the next generation, room for God to be glorified. Every gift bears fruit. Every life is worth it. And the best is still ahead.

Send us Fan Mail On Thank You Sunday, we were reminded that the greatest gift we have ever received is not comfort or prosperity, but the forgiveness of sin through the blood of Jesus Christ. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness, and today we lifted that banner high. We explored what it means to be a people who are not just receivers of grace, but responders to it. Drawn from 2 Corinthians 9, we learned that God loves a cheerful giver, one who has decided in their heart, not out of compulsion, but out of gratitude for all He has done. Generosity is not about what is in your hands, but what has gripped your heart. When grace takes hold, giving becomes worship. Your seed goes where you cannot, producing righteousness, thanksgiving, and souls for the kingdom. If you missed this message, we encourage you to watch it back and come ready next Sunday with a prepared and grateful heart.

Send us Fan Mail What if generosity was not about what God wants from you, but about what he has already given you? That is the heart of this week's message from 2 Corinthians 8:9-15. The grace of Jesus Christ, who though He was rich became poor so that we might become rich, is the foundation for everything we do with open hands. Grace does not just change what we believe about money. It changes how we live, how we give, and who we become. When the grace of God grips your heart, desire follows, and desire leads to action that cannot stay locked inside. If you have been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something has a hold on your heart that should not, this message is for you. Come and let the Lord wash over you.

Send us Fan Mail What if generosity had nothing to do with how much you have? The Macedonian church gave out of extreme poverty and severe affliction, yet Paul called it an overflow of wealth. Why? Because their giving wasn't driven by circumstances. It was driven by the grace of God working within them. This week, Ps Cody Byrne reminds us that true generosity begins with a revelation of who God is. He did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all (Romans 8:32). When that truth gets into your heart, it changes the way you hold everything, your time, your words, your resources, your life. Paul challenged the Corinthian church to excel in this grace also (2 Corinthians 8:7). That same call is for us today. Not out of compulsion, but out of trust in a Father who owns it all and lacks nothing. Join us in our brand new series, The Grace of Giving and discover what it looks like to carry a generous spirit.

Send us Fan Mail Are you in a season of waiting? This Sunday, TRIBES very own Madison Bothe brought a powerful word reminding us that waiting is not passive — it is active trust in the Promise Keeper. From Hebrews 10:35-37, we were challenged to hold fast to our confidence in Christ, embrace patient endurance, and keep doing the will of God. Whether you have been waiting months or years, God has not forgotten you. He is not late. Madison gave us practical handlebars from Scripture for the middle season: thank God and remember His faithfulness, surrender to heaven's calendar, take God at His Word, use what is in your hand, celebrate others, and resolve that Jesus is enough. If you are at the half way mark and thinking about stopping — this message is for you. The middle is not the end. Catch the full sermon here on our page and share it with someone who needs to hear it today.

Send us Fan Mail We live in a disposable world but our God is not a disposable God. He is a covenant-keeping, promise-keeping Father whose faithfulness stretches to a thousand generations (Deuteronomy 7:9). Every promise he has ever made, he has kept - from Abraham to the empty tomb to Pentecost. This Sunday, Ps Cody reminded us that God does not treat his people as disposable. He pursues the wandering, restores the fallen, and remains faithful even when we are not (2 Timothy 2:13). The cross is the ultimate proof - the new covenant sealed in the blood of Jesus (Luke 22:20). And because He is faithful, we are called to be faithful in our walk with God, in our marriages, in our families, and in our church community. Faithfulness is love that learned how to stay. If you missed it, come back and watch. There is a word here for everyone.

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to TRIBES. Join Ps Cody Byrne for our final week of our FORGED BY FIRE series. What does it mean to not just believe IN God, but to actually believe God? As we concluded our series in James 5, Ps Cody reminds us that the prayer of faith is not wishful thinking — it is confident trust in a God who heals, forgives, restores, and raises up. James makes it clear: the prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. Elijah was a man just like us, and yet his fervent prayer shut and opened the heavens. That same God is with us today. If you are sick, there is prayer. If you carry unconfessed sin, there is forgiveness. If you are broken, there is a faith that God will raise you up. The anointing breaks the yoke — and any day is a good day for God to move in your life. Come expecting. Come believing. He is faithful, He is good, and He still heals.

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to TRIBES. Join Ps Cody Byrne for week eight of our FORGED BY FIRE series. What if the delay you are experiencing is not denial, but an invitation to trust God more deeply? This Sunday, Ps Cody opened James 5 and we heard a word that is simple but powerful: don't quit. Don't quit praying, believing, serving, or trusting. Like the farmer who returns to the field every morning without a cloud in the sky, our faith calls us to remain steadfast even when we cannot see the shoreline. James points us to Job, to the prophets, and ultimately to Jesus himself, who did not quit in Gethsemane or on Calvary. The pressure you are under has a purpose. God is forming something beautiful in the depths of your soul. You may be just a few hundred meters from your breakthrough. Come back to the field. Go again. You are not a quitter. Watch or listen to this week's message and let faith rise in your heart. James 5:7-11 is a word for every weary soul today.

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to TRIBES. Join Ps Cody Byrne for week seven of our FORGED BY FIRE series. Money is not the problem — the love of it is. This week's message from James 5 cuts straight to the heart of what we truly trust in. Are your resources a tool for the kingdom, or have they quietly become your security? James was not condemning wealth. He was confronting misplaced worship. God is not anti-rich — he is anti-greed. He is not anti-abundance — he is anti-idolatry. The question is simple: does money have you? Whether you have much or are still sowing in faith, God is calling us to trust in him over gold, to give rather than withhold, and to live for something far greater than personal comfort. As Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us, it is God who gives us the power to get wealth — and he gives it to establish his purposes, not just our own. If this stirs something in you, we would love to have you join us. Watch the full message and let the Word do its work.

Send us Fan Mail This week we are joined by Ps Christie Blaikie, Senior Paster of Oasis Church and the ACC WA President. Ps Christie poses the question, have you ever been so caught up in the chaos of everyday life that you lost sight of what truly matters? In Revelation 4, John is invited by Jesus to "come up here" - to step above the noise of earth and behold the throne of God. That perspective changes everything. The seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3 were not discipled by bad intentions - they were simply discipled by the wrong things. Comfort, reputation, compromise, and wealth had quietly replaced their devotion to God. Sound familiar? We do not drift in a day, but we do drift. Here is the truth: heaven is not anxious. God is not pacing nervously. He is seated on the throne, composed and victorious. If our King is not panicking, why are we? Real discipleship begins with prolonged exposure to beholding God (2 Corinthians 3:18). When we see Him clearly, everything else gets reordered. Come up here. Get a different perspective. The throne changes everything.
