The 1st century church had unbelievable boldness. We need to take a lesson from them. To speak up, when fear tells you to keep your mouth shut.
The reason we can gather together is because there we some somebodies that did what they had to do in the moment which fueled a movement. Now its our turn.
We see it in our bible, but should it actually be there? See why we call church, church.
Greatness is something that we all strive for, but we do it in all the wrong ways. I this episode, the GOAT tells us what greatness really is.
We all get into seasons where we need to turn things around. We are going to look at the book of Jonah that gives us time tested wisdom to turn our lives around.

Don't miss this powerful message that could change your perspective forever!
Jesus, The greatest human of all time, invites you to "follow him". He invites us to become more like him. In this series, we are introducing 5 key disciplines to become more like Christ.
Jesus didn’t simply HAVE the best explanation for God. Jesus IS the best explanation for God. In Part 2 of "The Fundamental List,"John Cochrane teaches how Jesus illustrates and demonstrates for us what God is like.
With so many denominations and opinions on what it means to be a Christian, it can be difficult to determine what is fundamental to the faith. In this series, we'll look at what's essential--and what's not--when it comes to following Jesus.
We have all experienced stress in life, But have you ever wondered what your stress is doing to those around you? Stress can be harmful to you,, and your inner circle. In this video, The CEO of Bloom Asia, Dave Saxby and John Cochrane, discuss why avoiding the stress trap is necessary and how to do it.
Have you ever known someone who said they heard from God? Have you ever heard from God? Many of us have wondered what it looks like to experience that level of intimacy with our Heavenly Father. But what should our posture be, and where should our focus land?
Repairing a relationship requires someone to initiate, regardless of who’s to blame for the fallout. There’s a simple prayer you can learn to help you take that first step.
When it comes to repairing relationships, no one responds well to being convinced, coerced, convicted or controlled. Yet we try those approaches over and over again.
Have you ever had one of those moments where you said something, and then regreted it moments later? Well James, the brother of Jesus has something to say about just that.
In Part 2 of Heaven: Who Goes There?, "Rethinking Good," John discusses why Jesus offered the most just system possible in an unjust world.
How Good Is Good Enough? The belief that "Good people go to heaven" sounds nice on the surface. But it doesn't make sense. What were you taught that heaven was contingent upon? Growing up, did you pray a salvation prayer more than once, just to be sure? What does that assume about God? About you?
Just outside of Jerusalem, Jesus performed a miracle that changed a man’s life forever. For 38 years, this man was unable to walk. But when Jesus said, “Get up,” the man was healed. However, it’s what Jesus said next that made this miracle a clear sign of who Jesus really was.
The first of Jesus' miracles that John documents is when Jesus–with a nudge from his mother—attended a wedding and turned water into wine. It was the first sign of many that gives evidence of who Jesus is.
Winning is better than not winning. It is easier to win in competitions because you know how to win and you know the competition. When it comes to life, it is not as clear.

Christians are not expected to believe based solely on a collection of ancient manuscripts. The foundation of our faith is anchored to something far more substantial and sustainable.
Our lives are defined by the habits we choose, so it's. important to have strong habits. What better person to get strong emotional habits from than Jesus.
Welcome to "Talk it out Tuesday" where we take the conversation from Sunday 1 step further. Listen until the end to hear 3 questions that will help you process the message
Wrinkle-free days usually don’t create great faith, because we don’t know what we actually believe until what we claim to believe is tested. Those unexpected things life throws our way can end up being pivotal circumstances in our faith journeys.
There is no progress without discipline. And many times, what begins as an "ought to" becomes a "want to." To put discipline into practice, we must pre-decide our choices.
Sometimes it seems God drops someone into our lives at just the right time. The defining moments and seasons of our lives usually revolve around those providential relationships.
Isn’t it true that the most inspiring people you know aren’t the people who KNOW the most, but the people who DO the most? The difference? They make it personal.
Knowing without doing doesn’t do anybody any good.
It’s one thing to believe and enjoy practical teaching. But gaining knowledge is not enough to grow our faith — applying it is.
How do we fuel our faith in a world running on empty?
In this message we are talking about how to rediscover and refuel your faith–no matter if you're looking for, losing, or feel like you have lost your faith.
How do you pray? what is the point of prayer? These are valid questions and we are going to answer those questions in part 1 of our series "Grown Up Prayers"
No one likes the feeling of being trapped. Sometimes, our minds can become trapped. When our mindsets have become a mind trap we need a mind change. When we chose to free ourselves from the negative mind trap, you don't just become more positive, it is so much more than that.
In John 10:10, Jesus says that he has come to bring life and life to the full. Sometimes we look for that "full life" in all the wrong places. In this 3 part series, we are going to explore how we can all experience the full life that Jesus was talking about.
Sometimes, we can put ourselves into the "All or Nothing" mind trap where we only have 2 outcomes. Find out what they are and how to avoid them.
No one likes feeling trapped. But we all have something that's holding us back, getting in our way, or keeping us from experiencing God’s best for us.
God hasn’t blessed our church with potential with success. God has blessed our church with potential. Our assignment is to be faithful stewards of the potential the Lord has entrusted to us. Today, I want to talk about one of the most significant way to accomplish this.
What do we want to be known for? This is a great question for any organisation to ask, especially a Church. In the FOR series, we are talking about what we want to be known for as a church. This is important because it ties directly into what God is FOR.
