The problem with our problems is that we can’t escape ourselves. Are you struggling today? God wants to do something special in your heart, a transformation work from the inside out. But in order to accept His love, we need to demolish strongholds like low self-esteem and lack of confidence that are within us. This message from Pastor Tim will help you on that journey. Make today demolition day… and send the enemy packing! If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you.

The devil sets out to intimidate and deceive us as believers, to see who will fall for his tricks. But as a child of God, you have been given a weapon: Jesus has delegated His authority over to you. This message is all about equipping you to take a stand against the lie and the sting of the enemy. Don’t let the serpent’s trickery lead you to doubt God’s Word. You have been given authority to resist and to stand your ground. *Recorded at our 9:30am service*

Just hours before His betrayal by Judas, which would lead to crucifixion, Jesus modelled worship for us when He paused to sing a hymn and praise God. Worship doesn’t change your circumstances, it changes your mindset towards them. Are you sandwiched between beauty and betrayal? Let this message remind you today of the power of a worshipping heart. If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you.

Every day, we are constantly bombarded by the way the world thinks, speaks and behaves. The Bible helps you to replace that old way of thinking with God’s thoughts that lead to life and abundance. In this message, learn why and how you should read the Bible, with guidance on how to get the most out of your time spent with it. The Word of God gives you the mind of God, so that you can live for God. If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you.

God asks us to believe Him for the impossible. Yet it seems that many of us have downgraded prayer to a wish list of small things that we think will probably never happen. Don’t have a saved soul and a wasted life. Let this message challenge you to say “I’m going to start to pray again!” If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you.

Do you want to live a special life, or a common life? It’s not based on whether you are born with charisma, it’s a choice. So many people live and die never experiencing the plan that God has for them. This message gives you seven statements to help you with living a holy life. Don’t just be a person who attends church, but be someone who wants to live a life for God. *Recorded at our 11:30am service*

In the book of Acts, Paul simply tells his story - he gossips the Gospel - and almost the whole city gathers to hear it. Unfortunately, we have made church about peripheral things, which get in the way of what is most important. God wants to get into our hearts today to challenge our reticence to talk about the name of Jesus. You are set free from every sin and cleared of all charges. Don’t let guilt and shame hold you back, because Jesus has set you free! *Recorded at our 11:30am service*

Your words are powerful. They can kill, or bring life. Some of us are so focused on having a quiet life that we forget to shut up what is wrong and speak what is right. This message is designed to help you, not just with what you say out loud, but also what you say to yourself and the struggles in your mind. Learn to control your thoughts, or they will control you. When you start to speak the right things, God starts to move. If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you.

God intended His Church to be made up of all the nations of the world. As we come together to celebrate our very first Nations Day, this message asks the question: do you know, have you accepted, and have you received Jesus’s sacrifice for you? This is your invitation. Will you respond today? If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you.

No matter how fast your car is, if the handbrake is on, it will stall. In the same way, issues from your past, fear, or feeling unworthy can stop you from moving forward in your relationship with Jesus. Let this message encourage you to take the handbrake off in your life, believe, and be baptised! If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you.

God doesn’t choose us based on appearance, but He looks at our intrinsic value. When Nehemiah restored the walls of Jerusalem with burnt stones in the Old Testament, it’s a picture of what God does today with damaged lives. Let this message from special guest Pastor André Olivier inspire you to tune out the negative voices within and without and learn to get over your hurts, your relationship conflicts and your issues. God doesn’t want us to be burnt stones, He wants us to be blessed stones! If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you.

Time and time again in the Bible, God used very ordinary people to do the miraculous. We often read these accounts as just good stories about morals and integrity, when they’re meant to be used as examples of what God can do in our lives today. In this message, special guest Pastor Caroline Barnett from The Dream Centre in Los Angeles shares her story and encourages you to use the gifts and talents that God has placed inside of you to be His ambassador. Don’t be afraid to make your willingness available. If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you.

All of us are over-thinkers when it comes to things that affect us. The ‘What If?’ in your thought process will stop you laying your life down for God because you think that you can’t do it. This message challenges you to stop making excuses and shows how to overcome your negative thoughts, live a surrendered life and cultivate an undivided heart. Don’t allow the ‘What Ifs’ in your life to stop you living your best life today. If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you.

The apostle Paul made an incredible impact with his life. But if it wasn’t for the obedience of a little-known man named Ananias, things could have been very different. God hasn’t called most of us to hold a microphone, stand on a platform, or have a big following. Whether you’re a ‘Paul’ or an ‘Ananias’, let this message encourage you to be faithful and fruitful with whatever God has put in front of you. If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you.

God wants us as Christians to be care-free. Yet many of us worry that we can’t serve because we just don’t have enough time. Don’t live and die with worry! Let this message encourage you that, when you give God your time, He gives you back more time. God has a way of making the sun stand still when you put Him first. If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you.
