Jesus asks that all who are thirsty should come to Him and drink, and He promises that whoever believes in Him, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. In this Sermon Marcio invites us to respond to this call of Jesus so that we can be vessels of living water bringing the rule and love of God wherever we go.
God know's we are human, and that we often forget His goodness and faithfulness. That is why He invites us to come to Him time and time again. Each time we come to Him, He shows his faithfulness by filling us afresh.
To paraphrase C.S Lewis, 'we are all hope based creatures'. For all of us, our outlook on life heavily depends on where we put our hope. Do we put our hope in material things thinking that they will fulfill us? In this sermon Daniel reminds us that the lack of feeling fulfilled in this life is because we were created for something better. We were created to finally be fulfilled when we meet our God and Savior face to face, when we finally seat in eternity, at the table that He has prepared for us.
Do you often feel anxious, worrying about the future, not able to have peace and rest because you often give in to fear? This is a common human experience, yet the most common command in the bible is, ' do not fear'. In this sermon, Daniel reminds us that God know's what it's like to be human. He understands our worries and fears, and so He calls us to put our trust in Him because He is a good God who is with us in every circumstance.
Do you desire more of God in your life? Do you long to encounter Him often? In this sermon, Tom and Teesh Houston remind us who God is, and who we are in Him. We are reminded to seek God in the secret place, to continually have fear and have reverence for Him in all that we do, and in doing that we will experience more of Him in our lives.
Giving thanks is a foundational attitude of being a Christian. Our gracious Father is worthy of receiving our thanks for all He has done and continues to do for us. In this sermon Daniel gives us some practical ways in which we can incorporate thanksgiving into our lives.
Confession can often be a scary prospect, yet it has the ability to be one of the most liberating practice. In this sermon Daniel speaks about the importance of this spiritual discipline, reminding us that if we fail to confess our sins it erodes our relationship with God and others.
What does it mean to be generous, and as Christians how can we instill this discipline in our lives? In this sermon Richard explores this topic showing us that we can be a generous people because our Father in heaven has been and is always generous towards us.
In a culture of 'busyness' how do we find sabbath rest? in this sermon Daniel speaks about the main obstacle to sabbath rest. He explains that the main problem is not in the activities we do, but a restlessness in our hearts.
In this sermon Pete gives us an outline on why and how to read the bible. He also reminds us that just as we need food, we need the Word of God daily and regularly. If we want to see God more, to encounter Him, to see more of His glory, then we must spend time with Him in His word regularly.
When it comes to spiritual disciplines, fasting is probably one of the most difficult, especially in the western church. Yet it is a much needed practice, it is a means to know God better. In fasting we declare that Jesus is more satisfying than life itself.
In this sermon, Mike reminds us about the importance of praying together as believers. If we lead with corporate prayer we will see missions accomplished, and breakthroughs happen in a way that we won't if we don't lead with prayer.
As we start our series on spiritual disciplines, Charles encourages us to spend time developing our prayer life. He quotes Timothy Keller in saying that, "Prayer is our way of entering into the happiness of God Himself".

The whole of the scripture points to the gospel of Jesus. In this sermon, Marcio calls on those who have not yet put their faith in Jesus to do so, because this gospel has the power to save and transforms lives.
In today's culture, the word 'submission' is usually viewed negatively. To submit to someone might be seen as a weakness or a hindrance to freedom. However, as Christians we are called to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. In this sermon, Charles helps us to understand what biblical submission looks like.
In this sermon Richard reminds us of the importance of the church. We exist firstly to praise God, we praise Him because He has saved us through Jesus and is worthy of our praise. The church is important because our spiritual needs and growth can only happen in the context of a church. It is important because it is a place where unbelievers can walk in and meet with the living God.
The enemy of our soul likes to tempt us, to distract us, to make us forget who we are in Christ. To be able to walk in victory we need to understand his ways and patterns. In this sermon Daniel outlines ways that the devil might tempt us, and how we can overcome.
In this sermon Daniel speaks about how we will all face moments in the wilderness. He reminds us that the wilderness is a place of drawing closer to God, a place where God builds our character and prepares us for the future. He encourages us to remember that life does not end in the wilderness, but there will certainly be a breakthrough at the end of it. He encourages us to look to and put our hope in Jesus who has gone before us and won the battles on our behalf.
In this sermon Daniel encourages us to go deeper into the things of God. To expect breakthroughs and freedom from the things that hinder us from being a conduit of God's blessing.

When you come into God's presence you must come expecting that He will change your life. To encounter God is to be changed forever. In this preach, Fusi uses various passages from the bible to demonstrate that God is a God who powerfully 'shakes' those who seek Him, transforming their lives.
In this sermon, Marcio reminds us that love is the first and foremost mark of a church centred on Christ. However, to be a church that operates from a place of love we must first be a people who abide in Christ, putting Him at the centre of all we do.

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 6:1-11 Charles speak about the conflict within the church. He explains that unforgiveness stops us from being effective in our christian life. We follow a saviour who never stood on His rights. When He was betrayed, denied, and insulted, He did not seek revenge but sought restoration and reconciliation. We, as those who put our trust in Him are called to do the same in our relationships. We dishonour the gospel when we do not seek forgiveness and reconciliation with our brothers and sister in Christ.
Come and See! So many times we fret about how to tell others about the good news of Jesus, but often a simple invitation to 'come and see' is enough. Jesus is the one who initiates the encounter with people and brings transformation. Let us be a people who simply invite people to 'come and see', and watch Jesus work through our obedience.
