Have you ever thought, “This isn't the way I expected my life to go”?
This week, Rima shares a powerful message about trusting God when our story doesn't look the way we thought it would. There can be moments where we wonder what God is doing, but we can choose to trust Him even when we can't see how the story is going to unfold.
What do you do when you don't know what to pray? Continuing our Romans 8 series, Pastor Craig takes a look at what happens when prayer hurts. Romans 8 reminds us that when we don't know what to pray, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. So often we can see prayer as a way of trying to get God to do what we want, but prayer is not manipulation. Prayer is relationship. Even in the moments when we don't have the right words, we can bring our whole heart to God and trust the Spirit to help us.
We live in a broken world, and we all feel it.
When we see pain, suffering, and brokenness, our hearts ache because we know there is something better. This week, Pastor Craig explores what 'Creation is Waiting' really means. God doesn't deny the damage or discard what is broken. He brings hope in our suffering and the promise of restoration.
How do you actually live free? Continuing our Romans 8 series, Pastor Craig takes a look at what it means to live a life of freedom. Romans 8 doesn't just declare that we are free from condemnation, it shows us how that freedom becomes a daily reality through the Holy Spirit. So often we try to live the Christian life in our own strength, but God has given us His Spirit to lead, empower, and transform us from the inside out. In this message, we discover what it means to truly live Life in the Spirit.
Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough for God? As we begin our Romans 8 series, Pastor Craig takes a look at one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1 So often we live like we’re still trying to earn forgiveness, carrying the weight of things Jesus has already paid for. But you don’t have to come to God when you’re clean, sorted, or have it all together. In this message, we discover what it means to truly live with no condemnation.
Storms are inevitable, but they are not ultimate. This week explores how
redemptive community helps us endure hardship together and discover a greater
revelation of Jesus. Walk through the storm with others and find deeper faith on the other
side.
Faith was never meant to be carried alone. This week looks at the kind of
community that moves one another toward Jesus — a people who persevere together,
believe for one another, and carry hope through every obstacle.
Healthy community flows from healthy rhythms. This week explores the connection
between solitude and togetherness, showing that the deeper we are with God in private,
the stronger we become together. Learn how time with Jesus shapes the way we love His
people.
Real community begins where pretending ends. This week invites us to lay down
performance, practice confession, and discover the freedom of being fully known. Stop
hiding behind appearances and step into the kind of honesty that forms deeper
relationships.
Jesus didn’t die merely to forgive individuals — He died to form a family. This week
explores the kind of community created at the foot of the cross: one marked by
commitment, connection, and a shared focus on Jesus. Discover that salvation is not just
personal — it forms a people.
Just as a clean house requires ongoing care, a renewed heart requires daily surrender. In this final message of The Heart series, Pastor Triniry explores what it means to guard your heart, allow God to search it, and protect what He’s rebuilding. Because everything flows from it.
What happens when part of you wants God, but another part still wants control? This message explores the reality of the divided heart — the tension between surrender and self-rule — and how Jesus invites us into wholehearted devotion. If you’ve ever felt spiritually stuck, dry, or torn in two directions, this is an invitation to pray: “Lord, give me an undivided heart.”
This week in our series, Anna explores how unforgiveness can quietly take root beneath the surface and block the transformation God wants to do in us. Through Scripture and practical steps, discover how moving from bitterness to freedom opens the door for healing, wholeness, and heart renovation.
Why do we remain fundamentally the same when we know there’s something wrong with us? We struggle with the same fears, the same anxieties, the same relational patterns, and if we’re honest, the same sins. There’s a gap between believing and doing because information does not equal formation. God wants to transform the heart. Real transformation begins with surrender.
There’s more to following Jesus than just believing—there’s power available to you.
Discover what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit and live a life marked by boldness,
confidence, and spiritual authority. This isn’t just about knowing God—it’s about being
empowered by Him.
Ever feel stuck trying to change but nothing really shifts? The fruit of the Spirit isn’t
something you force—it’s something God grows in you. This message will help you stop
striving and start surrendering, as you learn how the Holy Spirit transforms your inner
world and produces real, lasting change in your everyday life.
Fasting can feel intimidating, extreme, or just unnecessary—but what if it’s actually
one of the most powerful ways to reset your heart? Discover how fasting isn’t about
punishment, but about making space for God. Learn how to quiet the noise, break
unhealthy attachments, and grow a deeper hunger for what truly satisfies.
Tired of prayer feeling like a boring duty instead of a real conversation with God?
Discover how to pray like Jesus—intimate, powerful, and persistent—and turn your prayer
life from frustration into genuine delight. This message will show you the simple, practical
way to connect with God behind closed doors and see real answers through humble,
expectant prayer.
Easter isn’t just something we reflect on, it’s something we celebrate. This week, Pastor Craig takes us through The Power of the Blood, unpacking the story of Jesus and the power at the centre of it all. The three most sacred places are the womb, the cross and the tomb. At the centre of it all is the wonderful power of the blood. It’s not something that was, but something that is and will continue to be.
Everything flows from identity. In this message, we explore what it means to find
our identity in the resurrection—living not from performance or pressure, but from who we
already are in Christ: chosen, redeemed, and made alive by grace.
Resurrection isn’t just a belief we hold—it’s a life we’re invited to live. In this message, we explore how the resurrection of Jesus is not simply a theological idea, but a present reality that transforms how we see God, ourselves, and the way we live every day.
Is worship just the songs we sing on a Sunday?
This week guest pastor Joel Milgate shares a message titled Blood, Smoke & the Meal. Looking through the lens of the tabernacle and the sacrifice of Jesus, we’re reminded that true worship is a life of repentance, surrender, and fellowship with Him.
How does God keep the First Commission moving forward? How does this mission we’re called to actually last? In the final week of the series, Pastor Craig unpacks God’s strategy. In a world that thinks bigger is better, God works in a surprisingly small way. Through formed communities. Through daily faithfulness. Through people who simply live differently.
What does it actually mean to be blessed to be a blessing? Why was Abraham chosen and what does that mean for us? In Genesis 12 we see that to be chosen by God is to be sent by God. Pastor Craig continues the series, unpacking the weight and beauty of the commission and reminding us that God’s plan has always been bigger than one person. It is for everyone, everywhere.
What does God do when the world falls into chaos? Does He walk away? In Genesis 12 we see something unexpected, God responds with a promise. Pastor Craig unpacks the First Commission and reminds us that we’re not blessed to hold it, we’re blessed to overflow.
What if the greatest threat to Revival isn’t opposition, but familiarity? If you’ve ever felt numb to what once set you on fire, this message will stir your faith, restore honour, and call you back to wonder.
Light transforms us and sends us. This week explores what it means to live as
children of the Light, where personal faith becomes public witness. Shine boldly, live
courageously, and let the Light of Jesus impact the world around you.
Light is not just seen — it is followed. This week challenges us to turn belief into
action and obedience. Move with Jesus, leave the shadows behind, and allow your
encounter with the Light to shape the way you live each day.
Jesus does not just bring light — He is the Light. This week focuses on
encountering Him and recognising the darkness we’ve grown used to. Step out of hiding,
stop coping with shadows, and meet the One who transforms everything.
Hope isn’t vague—it has a name. Jesus. Encounter the peace, love, and wonder
He brings, and step into Christmas ready to worship and celebrate His gift. Let His
presence fill your heart and inspire you to live with expectation, joy, and awe this season.
Joy isn’t a feeling—it’s a gift that starts inside and spills out. Let Christmas cheer
take root, and watch how it changes the way you live, laugh, and love. When joy flows
from the heart of Jesus, it transforms everything it touches.
Christmas isn’t just a day on the calendar—it’s a way of seeing, thinking, and
living. Reset your heart, embrace wonder, and let the season reshape how you view the
world. Learn how a fresh perspective can bring awe and joy into every corner of your life
this season.
Jeremiah 29:11 isn’t just a feel-good promise—it’s hope for the exiles, for those
carrying regret, and for anyone wondering, “Can God still use me?” This message shows
that God’s plan doesn’t ignore our mistakes; He redeems, restores, and offers hope—
even in life’s messiest seasons.
We took a dive into addictions with Ps Brent Liebezeit; discovering the underlying reason why we can struggle with them and the hope of Jesus to bring victory through gratitude.
Sean Du Toit joins us at Revive this Sunday as we continue our Sunday School series — diving into the big question: Who is God?
Together we unpack misconceptions and discover a God who pays attention to us, journeys with us, restores us, and loves us first.
Trusting God isn’t always easy—it can feel risky, like a trust fall. Proverbs 3:5-6
gives us a roadmap for living wisely: surrender, depend on God, and walk faithfully.
Following these actions leads to a life of purpose, peace, and spiritual success—even
when the path ahead feels uncertain.
John 3:16 isn’t just a memorised verse—it’s the gospel in action. We’re lost, loved,
and invited into light. Nicodemus’ story reminds us that success, status, or religion can’t
fill emptiness. Jesus offers something deeper: the ongoing, transformative life of being
born again.
Life can be messy, confusing, and downright painful—but Romans 8:28 reminds
us that God is weaving it all together for our good. The “good” God promises isn’t always
comfort or ease; it’s becoming more like Jesus. From heartbreak to delays, God’s Spirit is
at work, shaping us for eternity. You don’t have to understand every piece now—you just
have to trust the One who does.
In the end, our lives are defined not by fleeting desires but by lasting decisions.
Joshua’s maturity was revealed in his consistent choice to follow God, even when desire
was absent. True maturity is found in resilience, character, and calling. When desire fades,
decision lasts.
Maturity isn’t just about surviving failure—it’s about stewarding success. Joshua’s
victories gave him influence, and how he handled it revealed his maturity. Success brings
its own tests: will we persist in prayer, pass the promise, and praise God in prominence?
Mature faith sees blessing as an opportunity to bless others.
Every challenge carries the potential to mature us. God doesn’t test us to break us,
but to build us. Joshua’s obedience at Jericho teaches us that victory comes not through
our strategies, but through God’s. Maturity is choosing to obey—even when it doesn’t
make sense—because obedience doesn’t just start, it finishes.
This Sunday guest speaker Pastor Brent Liebezeit shared a powerful message, What’s in Your House. Even in difficult times, God is with you, He is for you, and He has incredible plans for your life. Just like David was anointed and prepared in private before stepping into his calling, God is developing things in you that you may not even see yet. God has placed treasures, gifts, and callings inside you that you may not even realize yet.
Life is full of change—new roles, responsibilities, and transitions. These moments
test our maturity. Like Joshua stepping into leadership, we don’t always know the plan,
but God does. In the uncertainty, His promise is our anchor. Maturity means trusting His
presence and His blueprint even when the path is unclear.
Life’s biggest plot twists often come from what’s happening inside us. Left
unchecked, emotions like anger, jealousy, and guilt can hijack the story God wants to
write. In this message, we’ll learn how to guard our hearts, take back the pen, and let God
flip the script toward freedom and wholeness.
Our world often treats intimacy like it’s only physical — something temporary with
no lasting impact. But the “unwritten” part of the story is that God designed intimacy to
be spiritual, emotional, and physical, woven into His bigger picture of love and covenant.
In this message, we’ll uncover why intimacy was never meant to be casual and how
rediscovering God’s design can bring wholeness to our story.
Every good story grows through transformation. In this message, we’ll talk about how God uses relationships and seasons of singleness not just to bring people into your life, but to shape who you’re becoming. This isn’t just about finding the “right person” — it’s about becoming the person your story needs you to be.
We all start with an idea of how life is supposed to go — and most of us try to
write the story ourselves. In this message, we’ll talk about where that desire comes from
and why it’s okay to want connection — but even more important to trust the Author. You
don’t need a perfect plan to be perfectly in purpose.
God is not safe—He’s holy. And He is a consuming fire. In the final message of the
series, we dive into what true worship looks like—reverent, sacrificial, and costly. Just like
you wouldn’t play around at a bonfire, we’re called to approach God with awe. Your life is
the altar. So what kind of fire are you carrying?
When the world shakes, the Church stands. Looking at the early churches, this
message explores what it means to be rooted in hope and built to last. An immovable
Church doesn’t retreat—it plants. Discover the strength found in spiritual stability and
how your life can become a steady witness in an unsteady world.
You weren’t just gifted—you were anointed. In this message, we break down what
the anointing truly means in the New Testament and expose some of the myths that have
clouded our understanding. The anointing isn’t about hype or platform—it’s about being
set apart to carry the weight of God’s presence and purpose in your life.
What does it actually mean to grow in your faith, not just go to church?
In this message, Pastor James Murray shares what a maturing church really looks like. He helps us see that growing in Christ isn’t about how long you’ve been around, but about growing in love, unity, and humility together.
A lot of people have started to feel like church isn’t all that important anymore. But we’re making a Spirit-led effort to live differently.
This is an invitation to grow up in Christ, not just grow old in church.
You’re more than just a believer—you’re a priest. You were created to minister to
God. This message calls us back to our purpose: to worship with our whole lives and
offer ourselves as living sacrifices. As New Covenant believers, we offer something better
—through Jesus, the better High Priest. Let’s rediscover the power of intentional worship
and surrendered devotion.
As we close out the Be Rich series, we’ll take a deep look at what it means to be
rich toward God. It’s not about how much we have but how we use what we have to
glorify Him. In this final week, we’ll explore the importance of surrendering everything—
our finances, our time, and our hearts—so that we can live with eternal purpose and give
all for His glory.
It’s not just about giving money—it’s about living a life of purpose. This week, we’ll
challenge ourselves to be rich in good deeds, using our time, talents, and resources to
make a difference in the world around us. When we understand that God has blessed us
abundantly, we’ll feel called to do more with what we have for His kingdom.
What do we do with the abundance God has entrusted to us? In this week’s message, we’ll explore the heart of generosity, and the joy that comes from giving. As we reset God’s sovereignty over our lives, we’re reminded that He has given us more than we need and in response, we are called to give more. Let’s dive into what it means to be a rich giver and how we can use our resources to bless others and honour God.
In the first message of Be Rich, we’ll uncover the good news that God has already
blessed us with more than we need, making us richer than we realise. But with that
blessing comes the challenge of how we view our wealth. Do we see it as a gift to be
used for His glory, or do we take it for granted? This week, we’ll discover what it means to
truly be rich in God’s eyes.
Shame is something we all wrestle with, whether it’s from what we’ve done or what’s been done to us.
This week, we’ll explore how shame shapes the way we see ourselves, keeps us hiding, and holds us back from living in freedom.
By looking to the cross, we’ll discover how Christ breaks shame off our lives and reminds us who we truly are.
Why do we often settle for substitutes for God, giving our hearts to things that can
never satisfy? This week, we’ll explore the idols in our lives and how to dethrone them.
We’ll learn how to fill our souls with God’s presence, allowing Him to reign supreme in our
hearts.
At times, our souls are overwhelmed by pain, grief, or the weight of what we’re
walking through. This week, we’ll explore the reality of suffering and how Jesus meets us
in the midst of it. By looking to His example, we’ll learn how to bring our pain to God with
honesty and surrender, and discover the hope that suffering is not the end of the story.

honesty and surrender, and discover the hope that suffering is not the end of the story.
Our souls can become tortured by past mistakes, lies we believe, and unresolved
guilt. This week, we’ll explore how to confront the things that torment our souls—through
confession, the truth of God’s Word, and the freedom we have in Christ. The truth will set
us free.
Do you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? This week, we’ll
explore why our souls feel heavy—whether it’s past hurts, current troubles, or future
anxieties—and how to counteract this heaviness by remembering God’s faithfulness,
crying out to Him in the present, and trusting in His power for the future.
In a world full of noise and distraction, it’s easy for our souls to feel restless. This
week, we’ll uncover the effects of a restless soul, explore why we struggle to find peace,
and learn how to find true rest in God. By being still, waiting on God, and reflecting on His
presence, we can experience the rest that only He can give.
The cross wasn’t just about forgiving our sins—it was about transforming who we
are. Jesus became sin so we could become righteous, not through our works but through
His grace. This week, we’ll learn that true freedom comes when we stop carrying our old
selves and step fully into our identity in Christ. It’s not about self-improvement—it’s about surrender.
The cross is the foundation for our healing. Jesus didn’t just take away our sin—He
took our sickness too. Many believe that God can heal, but struggle to believe He wants
to. This week, we’ll uncover the biblical truth that healing is part of God’s promise to us,
secured through Jesus’ sacrifice. By faith, we can step into the wholeness He purchased
on the cross.
Did Jesus really die just to save us from sin, or did He accomplish more on the cross? This week, we’ll uncover the truth that Jesus became poor so we could live in abundance—not just financially, but in every area of life. God’s will is that we live in the overflow of His blessings, able to be a blessing to others. Let’s break free from a mindset of lack and step into the abundance Jesus secured for us!
Revive isn’t just a name—it’s our identity. In Week 4 of our series In This House, Pastor Craig unpacks what it means to be a people shaped by revival. Our church was birthed in renewal, and that same spirit continues to move through us today. Revival isn’t an event or a program; it’s the heartbeat of who we are. We live with an expectation of God’s transformative power, carrying His life-giving presence wherever we go.
Faith isn’t just something we hear—it’s something we live. In Week 3 of our series
In This House, Maddison challenges us to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our everyday
lives. We are called to be “Jesus with skin on,” reflecting His love, compassion, and truth
to the world around us. Whether in our workplaces, homes, or communities, we have the
opportunity to make His presence known in real and practical ways.
Church isn’t just a place we go—it’s a family we belong to. In Week 2 of our series
In This House, Pastor Craig unpacks what it means to be part of God’s family. We were
created for connection, yet so often we drift toward isolation. But in the body of Christ,
every believer has a unique and essential role. Rooted in love, mutual support, and a
shared mission, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to build one another up and reflect
God’s love to the world.
Are we just fans of Jesus, or are we true followers? In Week 1 of our series In This
House, Pastor Trinity challenges us to move beyond admiration and embrace the radical
commitment of discipleship. Following Jesus isn’t just about saying, “I believe”—it’s
about surrender, obedience, and transformation. It means taking up our cross, walking in
humility, and living out His kingdom values daily. Join us as we explore what it truly means
to be a disciple, not just a spectator.
In this two-week series, we explore how prayer can become a relational rhythm woven into our daily lives. Prayer isn’t just a ritual or list of requests—it’s an ongoing conversation with God. Join us as we discover how to make prayer a consistent and meaningful part of your life, deepen your relationship with God, and cultivate a prayer life that empowers you to live with purpose and strength.

“It’s not fair!” We’ve all said it—but is fairness really the goal? In the final part of Taking the Reins, Pastor Craig unpacks the Parable of the Talents and encourages us to shift our perspective. Instead of focusing on what we don’t have, what if we took responsibility for what God has given us? He’s entrusted us with gifts and opportunities—now it’s up to us to use them how He would use them. Don’t miss this powerful message!
Taking the Reins Pt 3
Sometimes, it’s not just about praying—it’s about stepping up. 🙌 In this message, Pastor Rima Cooper unpacks Joshua 7 and encourages us to move beyond good intentions and into faithful action. Our choices impact more than just ourselves, and God calls us to live with responsibility and courage.
✨ How can we take the reins in our own lives?
We all live by principles—either using them for success or ignoring them to our own distress. In this message, Pastor Trinity unpacks the biblical truth that we reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7-10).
So how do we take responsibility for our choices and change our harvest?
Discover three powerful ways to sow your way out of your situation!
Are you taking up the reins of your life? Are you embracing responsibility for the areas God has entrusted to you? This week, Anna Cooper challenges us to stop deflecting blame and step into the maturity God desires. See how taking responsibility leads to spiritual growth and blessings.
How Do We Stay Planted and Thrive During the Process?
God calls us to live a life that is root-focused, not fruit-focused. While it’s easy to become frustrated during the slow process of building a deep root system, it’s during this time that God strengthens our faith, character, wisdom, and endurance.
In this message, Craig shares how we can grow through the discomfort of the process and remain planted, even when it’s tempting to compare our journey to others or give up. Discover what it means to thrive in the waiting and how keeping Jesus at the center allows us to see the fruit, dreams, and visions for our lives come to pass.
What does it mean to leave a lasting impact? This week, Pastor Craig Jourdain takes us through the importance of growing a strong root system, focusing on how God has chosen and appointed us to bear fruit that lasts. Discover how reflecting Jesus through our lives starts with deep, healthy roots.
This week, Ps. Craig concluded our series, The Gifts, by exploring the meaning behind gold. This gift represents Christ as the King—the King of kings and Lord of lords. Join us as we reflect on the story of Jesus' birth and explore three ways we can respond to Him.
This week, Ps. Craig continues our series, The Gifts, diving into the meaning behind myrrh. This powerful gift represents Jesus as the suffering servant—the Lamb of God, born to die for our sins. Join us as we reflect on the depth of His sacrifice and what it means for us today.
This week, Ps. Trinity kicks off our new series, The Gift, exploring the meaning behind the gifts Jesus received from the wise men. We begin with frankincense—representing Jesus as our High Priest, who sacrificed for our sins and intercedes for us in prayer. Join us as we uncover the incredible significance of this precious gift.
How do we face the fears that try to control us? This week, Ps. Craig shows us the importance of remembering God’s faithfulness in the past and why the presence of giants in our lives might just be a sign that we’re on the right path.
How do we look past our Giants? How do we see what God sees? This week, Ps. Craig shares how to strengthen your faith, see the unseen, and step into the future God has prepared for you.
What is the Church? And what was Luke’s vision for it in Acts? This week, Dr. Sean du Toit takes us through the book of Acts, highlighting six key lessons we can learn about the Church and its purpose.
Sometimes, we feel like underdogs facing impossible situations. How does the story of David give us hope and confidence to face our giants? This week, Ps. Craig highlights four key moments from this famous story to show how we should respond when under attack.
We all like to feel in control of our lives. Surrendering to someone requires a lot of trust and can feel uncomfortable. In this message, Ps. Craig explores what we gain when we truly understand the identity of Jesus.
Following Christ isn’t a competition. So why do so many of us treat it like one? It can be easy to let pride take over when God has blessed us with strong relationships, great careers, or exceptional talent—but a humble heart beats any of those things. Let’s dig into that this week in What Would Jesus Undo?
It’s hard to like a hypocrite, right? Someone who says one thing but does another? Jesus wasn’t a fan of hypocrisy either. This week, Rima takes us through the cost of living a lie—and exactly why Jesus would call people out on it.
There’s one thing everyone on the earth was made to do: worship our Creator. Yet so often, it’s easy for us to sleepwalk through our days and give simple lip service to God. Anna Cooper takes a look at what it would look like if our passion for Him was renewed? This week, let’s praise Him like He deserves to be praised.
Do you ever feel like you’re going through the motions? Like life is just happening and you’re swept along with it? You were meant for something more. Let’s break indifference and find the passion to change the world together.
Catch up with our latest series, What Would Jesus Undo?
What is a great worship time?
Focusing on Praise and Worship, Guest Speaker Stephen Miller takes a look at what makes for a great worship time.
We all want a word from God, but what happens when we get one and feel as though we are unworthy or incapable? In this message, Ps. Craig Jourdain takes a look at God's ability to overrule your objection.
There are things we need to hear, that we don't really want to hear. In this message we look at an attribute of God that is mentioned more in scripture than anything other, yet we talk about it the least. If we can understand this attribute of God, it will set us free.
God has called us to something greater, but what does greater look like in God's eyes. Where does greater begin? In this message we look at where the greater in God begins for you and me.
What in your life have you made treaties with that you never should have? In this message Ps Adam challenges us to stand firm and fight the good fight.
When is enough, enough. At what stage do we decide we aren't going to be pushed around by the enemy any longer. That you are going to stand on God's word and claim what is yours.
It is so important to we understand that we are Sons of God and co-heirs with Christ. In this message we look at what happens when we live with slave mentality, rather than as sons.
Why ask for a goat when God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. In this message we look at what our inheritance is and what our responsibility is around that.
We never arrive where we are by ourselves. There is always someone that has gone before us, that we are standing on the shoulders of. In this message we discover how important understand our heritage is and the inheritance we receive because of that. The challenge is what investment are you going to make?
So often the perspective we have plays a vital role in how we respond to situations we are facing. In this message Richard shows us 3 perspectives from Israel leaving Egypt and encourages us to shift our perspective to God's perspective.
When we learn to live as a son or daughter of God everything changes. Children have access to their father's love, care, provision. But, the different between and son or a hire handed is the motivation that we serve with.
When you know who you are, then you will know what to do. In this message we start a series looking at rediscovering what the spirit of Sonship looks like for all of us.
When it comes to decisions and directions in your life; who gets to decide? Who decides what you do? In this message Pastor Trinity unpacks what it looks like when God decides compared to when we do.
How do you stand firm in a trial without compromising your beliefs. In this message we look at 3 teenage boys and how they held firm in the fire, even when their lives were at risk. We can take a Stand that points people to God in our best challenges.
You either like confrontation or you run from it. But, sometimes in life confrontations are necessary. In this message looking at Daniel's life we see the right way to confront. We learn to stand up for the right things in the right way at the right time.
We all need to take a stand from time to time in what we believe. But, how do we do that in the right way, at the right time? In this message we get some keys from Daniel's life on how to make a stand in the right way.
Jesus said to His disciples that you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on them. Is there different levels of power? How come some Christians seem more powerful than others? In this message Ps Craig breaks down the scripture and encourages us to live empowered by the Spirit of God.
In this message we look at history and meaning of Pentecost. What happens when the Spirit of God enters us? What are we meant to do with that and how does it effect our world?
When times are tough, where do we go? Sometimes what looks like a solution to your current crisis is actually the thing that leads you into the very crisis you are trying to avoid. Moab can be very tempting in times of trouble. In this message we look at how to leave Moab and trust in King Jesus.
The Holy Spirit gives us gifts, but what does that really mean and what am I meant to do with that gift? What if it actually isn't really about the gift? In this message we look at why we are gifted and what is more important than the gift.
