Centered on the truth that God uses ordinary believers, this message emphasizes that discipleship is meant to equip ordinary Christians to share the gospel within the context of their daily vocations. Drawing from Biblical examples and global mission statistics, Alfonso challenges us to overcome excuses and actively participate in sharing the gospel wherever God has called us - whether that be locally or to unreached people groups.

True spiritual boldness for sharing the gospel stems from an intimate relationship with God and reliance on His power rather than human self-confidence. Michael challenges us to be intentional in our daily lives, stepping out in simple acts of obedience and generosity to build a personal "resume of encounters" with God.

Becoming a "sent one" begins with answering Jesus's call to personal intimacy and transformation rather than relying on self-effort. Drawing on Isaiah's temple encounter and the calling of the first disciples, Michael highlights that personal transformion in God's presence is the catalyst to being sent out to share the gospel.

Craig reminds us of the immense price and power of the free gift of salvation, highlighting God's relentless, pursuing grace through the Old Testament story of Hosea. He encourages us to depend on God for the boldness we need to share our faith in our everyday lives.

Is sharing the gospel a joy or a chore? Our feelings about that question reveal a lot about the state of our relationship with Jesus and how we think of Him. This message is a challenge to shift from merely praying for the lost to asking God for personal boldness and more labourers to actively enter the harvest field.

Continuing in the book of Haggai, Michael shares that God is shaking up the busy status quo of our lives to prepare our hearts for a brand new measure of His presence and glory. When we realign our priorities and stop striving in our own strength, we are positioned to step into the peace, blessing, and divine authority He has prepared for us to walk in.

It's easy to get caught up in the pace, stress and pressures of daily life. Many are struggling to cope, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. What if the problem is not the problem? What if these feelings are symptoms of misplaced priorities? Drawing from the book of Haggai, Michael calls us to restore our personal devotional lives by seeking God first, which invites His presence, grace, and renewed strength into our daily challenges.

The best that God has to give us is Himself. This message invites us to find true fulfilment and satisfaction by shifting our focus from what God can do for us, to cultivating a deep and intimate relationship with Him.

Michael explores how feelings of weakness or being overwhelmed are divine invitations to trade self-reliance for God’s sufficient grace and peace. By drawing near to God in humble dependence, we find that our limitations become the very place where His power is perfected.

Craig emphasizes that hearing God’s voice is inseparable from reading and meditating on His written word, which stands as the final authoritative truth for all believers. By actively speaking and confessing these scriptures, believers can access divine wisdom and strength to navigate life's challenges and walk in God's promises.

This message defines the "fear of the Lord" not as terror or dread, but as a deep reverence and awe for God’s holiness that serves as the essential foundation for true wisdom and knowledge. It encourages believers to move past distorted perceptions of God that lead to foolishness, instead embracing a right perspective that invites peace, purpose, and profound intimacy with the Father.

Craig explores the foundational truth that every believer has the innate ability to hear the Father’s voice and prophesy for the encouragement of others. He offers practical steps to deepen our spiritual intimacy, emphasizing that recognizing one's identity as a child of God and engaging in consistent fellowship with Him, are key to living a life guided by His word.

Jacob’s wrestling match with God serves as a powerful metaphor for how divine encounters break our habits of self-reliance to forge a new, purposeful identity. This message encourages us to trust God’s higher ways, reminding us that true spiritual maturity is found in surrendering to His love and the plans and purposes He has for our lives.

The writer of Hebrews calls believers to move beyond basic doctrines and press toward spiritual maturity, described as a state of being whole and lacking nothing in Christ. True growth occurs as we transition from spiritual "milk" to "solid food" through consistent application of God's Word and a commitment to becoming more like Jesus daily.

What does a father really want for Father's Day ... or any other day, for that matter? This is the question Michael unpacks in this message, looking to the heart of God the Father for inspiration.
