In this inspiring message from our Send Me series, Ps Byron Chicken reminds us that true greatness isn’t found in fame, influence, or recognition—it’s found in the unseen moments of faithfulness that God sees.
Drawing from the lives of biblical figures like Paul, Moses, Joseph, Gideon, Esther, Peter, Timothy, and Daniel, Ps Byron unpacks the mindset shifts that unlock God’s purpose in our lives. From condemnation to grace, fear to faith, victimhood to vision, and popularity to conviction, every person God used had to say “yes” to Him despite their circumstances.
This message challenges us to stop measuring greatness by the world’s standards and start embracing God’s definition: doing what matters most, in spite of everything. When God has your life, greatness is already at work within you.
Key Takeaways:
- Greatness is not about being seen—it’s about faithfulness.
- If God has your life, there is greatness on your life.
- Every God-given purpose requires a mindset shift.
- Transformation begins with a fresh revelation of God.
- A surrendered “yes” opens the door to significance.
- Consistent obedience shapes a life of lasting impact.
Be encouraged to trust God with your life, embrace the shifts He’s calling you to make, and discover the greatness found in everyday faithfulness.

Send Me. But How?Ps Candice Chicken | Thrive Church
Jesus’ final words to His disciples were simple yet powerful: “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone” (Mark 16:15). Many of us love the idea of being sent, but when it comes to sharing our faith, fear, uncertainty, and past experiences can leave us asking: “Send me… but how?”
In this encouraging and practical message, Ps Candice Chicken unpacks the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4 and reveals a simple, authentic framework for sharing the Gospel without pressure, fear, or having all the answers.
In this message:
- Why Jesus’ command to “go” still applies to us today
- How fear often stops us from sharing our faith
- Why guilt, shame, and scare tactics are not God’s method
- The life-changing encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman
- How God uses ordinary people and ordinary stories
- A simple framework for sharing your faith with confidence
The Framework: Encounter • Share • Invite • Trust
1. Encounter Jesus
Mission begins with a personal encounter with Christ. We cannot give away what we have not experienced ourselves. An encounter with Jesus brings forgiveness, purpose, freedom, peace, healing, and transformation.
2. Share Your Story
Like the Samaritan woman, we don’t need to have all the answers. We simply share what Jesus has done in our lives. Your testimony is powerful because it is personal, authentic, and uniquely yours.
A helpful way to tell your story:
- What was your life like before Jesus?
- How did you encounter Him?
- What has changed since?
3. Invite Others
The Samaritan woman’s message was simple: “Come and see.” Our role is not to convince people but to invite them to experience Jesus for themselves. A simple invitation can change someone’s eternity.
4. Trust God
We cannot change hearts—only God can. Our responsibility is to share, invite, and trust the Holy Spirit to draw people, heal lives, soften hearts, and reveal Jesus.
Key Takeaway
Sharing your faith doesn’t have to be complicated, scripted, or intimidating. It starts with an encounter with Jesus, flows through your personal story, extends through an invitation, and rests in trusting God to do what only He can do.
Quote from the Message
“Our responsibility is not to save people—that is Christ’s work. Our responsibility is to tell what Jesus has done and invite others to come and see.”
Scripture References
- Mark 16:15
- John 4:1–42
- John 4:29
- John 4:42
Be encouraged, challenged, and equipped to say once again:
“Lord, send me.”

What if the three most powerful words you could ever say to God are not “Send me”… but “Here I am”?
In this inspiring message, Ps Byron explores Isaiah 6 and the Hebrew word Hineni—a response that means far more than simply being present. It speaks of a heart that is available, attentive, surrendered, and ready for God’s purposes.
Against the backdrop of a beautiful yet broken world, we're reminded that Jesus came for every person: the hurting, the hungry, the forgotten, the searching, and the successful-but-empty. And remarkably, God chooses to work through ordinary people to bring hope and healing.
In this message:
- Why our world is both beautiful and broken
- Isaiah’s life-changing response: “Here I am. Send me.”
- The deeper meaning of the Hebrew word Hineni
- Four powerful responses to God:
- Presence – “I am here”
- Attention – “I am listening”
- Availability – “I am ready”
- Surrender – “I am yours to send”
- What Abraham, Moses, Ananias, and Jesus teach us about living available to God
- Practical ways to live out a lifestyle of “Here I am”
God isn't looking for perfection, influence, or extraordinary ability. He's looking for hearts willing to say, "Here I am."
The greatest tragedy is not that there is so much need in the world. The greatest tragedy is when those who hear God's voice never respond.
Here I am, Lord. Send me.
Key Scriptures
- Isaiah 6:1–8
- Genesis 22:1, 7, 11
- Exodus 3:4
- Acts 9:10
- Hebrews 10:7
Key Takeaway
"The promises of God are wrapped up in Christ-followers who are present, paying attention, available, and surrendered." — Ps Byron Chicken

We all know the feeling of wanting more. More time. More money. More certainty. More peace. Yet even when we get more, it often doesn't fix the deeper tiredness inside us.
In this message, Ps. Daniel explores a powerful truth from Luke 9 and the Transfiguration of Jesus: God never intended for us to live in survival mode. Through the story of Peter, James, and John on the mountain, we discover that Jesus lifts our eyes, fixes our focus, moves our hearts, and calls us into a life that is greater than simply getting through each day.
Drawing from Ephesians 3:20, this message reminds us that the “more” God promises isn't found in striving harder or controlling more circumstances. It's found in Him. When our eyes are lifted from our pressures and fixed on Jesus, we begin to see life differently and experience His purpose, power, and presence in a fresh way.
In This Message:
- Why survival mode was never God's plan for your life
- The true meaning of “immeasurably more” in Ephesians 3:20
- How Jesus lifts our eyes above our circumstances
- Why focus matters more than feelings
- The danger of building faith around moments instead of Jesus
- How God moves our hearts toward people in need
- Why purpose is often found in the valley, not on the mountaintop
- The power of surrendering fully to Christ
Key Scriptures:
- Ephesians 3:20
- Luke 9:28–43
- John 10:10
- 1 John 3:18
Key Takeaways:
- Jesus lifts our eyes so we can see Him clearly.
- Jesus fixes our focus when distractions compete for our attention.
- Jesus moves our hearts toward the needs of others.
- Jesus calls us to surrender, even when life gets messy.
- God's “more” begins with Him and flows through us to impact others.
Whether you're feeling weary, overwhelmed, spiritually stuck, or simply longing for more, this message is an invitation to lift your eyes and rediscover the life Jesus has for you.

What does Pentecost mean for us today?
In this powerful message, Byron Chicken explores how the Holy Spirit is not just a distant idea or occasional experience — but the daily presence of God living within us. Using the picture of a smartphone battery running flat, Ps Byron reminds us that we may have great capacity, but without spiritual connection and filling, we eventually run empty.
This message unpacks the transforming work of the Holy Spirit:
- The Holy Spirit is Jesus’ greatest gift to believers
- We are invited to live continually filled with the Spirit
- Transformation into the likeness of Christ is a lifelong journey
- The Spirit makes us more authentic, loving, and led by the Father
- We don’t just ask for the Holy Spirit — we actively receive
Whether you’re spiritually hungry, tired, thirsty, or longing for more of God, this message is an invitation to plug back into the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
Key Scriptures
- Ezekiel 37:14
- John 16:7
- Ephesians 5:18
- 2 Corinthians 3:18
- Luke 11:13
Key Takeaways
- “The Holy Spirit is the charger that you always have with you.”
- “The only thing better than Jesus with us is the Holy Spirit in us.”
- Transformation is the chief work of the Holy Spirit.
- Becoming like Jesus means growing in:
- Authenticity
- Love
- Being led by the Father
- We can be filled with the Holy Spirit every day, in every season.
Memorable Quotes
“God has created us with great capacity. But if our spiritual battery is dead, we can do nothing.”“Ask expectantly and receive thankfully.”“The Spirit of God is closer than you think because He is in you.”
Salvation Prayer
At the end of this message, many people responded to the invitation to follow Jesus and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit — a beautiful reminder that God is still transforming lives today.
Prayer
“Spirit of God, Lord and giver of life, breathe into us Your freshness that we may awake. Cleanse our vision that we may see You more clearly. Kindle our senses that we may feel You more sharply, and give us courage to live as You would have us live. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

Thirsty? There’s Only One Source That Truly Satisfies.
Have you ever been truly thirsty? Not just physically thirsty — but spiritually dry, empty, exhausted, or longing for something more?
In this deeply relatable and powerful message, Ps. Candice Chicken explores Jesus’ invitation in John 7:37-39:
"If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink."
Through humorous personal stories, biblical insight, and practical encouragement, this sermon reminds us that every human soul carries a thirst that can only be satisfied through Jesus and the ongoing infilling of the Holy Spirit.
Ps. Candice begins by sharing a memorable hiking story in the Drakensberg where an entire church hiking group ran out of water. The desperation, exhaustion, and relief of finally receiving water becomes a picture of the spiritual thirst so many people carry every day.
We often try to satisfy that thirst with:
- Success
- Money
- Achievement
- Relationships
- Work
- Status
- Possessions
But none of those things can truly satisfy the soul.
Only Jesus can.
Diving into John 7, Ps. Candice unpacks the powerful context behind Jesus’ words during the Feast of Tabernacles — a celebration where Israel remembered God’s provision of water in the wilderness. At the height of the ceremony, while priests poured water over the altar in worship, Jesus stood up and declared:
"If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink."
Jesus was revealing that He Himself is the source of living water — and that the Holy Spirit would come to continually fill believers from within.
This message follows four powerful spiritual progressions:
1. Invitation — Come
Jesus does not force Himself on anyone. He extends an invitation. Every person is invited to come to Him, regardless of background, status, or history. The question is: will we respond?
2. Belief — Turn on the Tap
The moment we believe in Jesus, the source of life within us changes. Self-sufficiency is replaced by the presence of God. Ps. Candice compares salvation to turning on a tap — living water begins flowing immediately, even if growth takes time.
3. Filling — Drink Continually
One of the strongest themes in this message is the need for continual filling. Just like our physical bodies need water daily, our spirits need daily time in God’s presence.
Ps. Candice shares practical, everyday examples:
- Stressful school mornings
- Delayed shops
- Traffic frustrations
- Work pressure
- Parenting challenges
- Emotional exhaustion
And in every moment, the answer is the same:
Go back to Jesus. Be filled again.
Not once a month.
Not once a week.
Daily. Hourly. Continually.
Because we cannot do life spiritually dehydrated.
4. Overflow — Rivers of Living Water
When we continually allow the Holy Spirit to fill us, our lives begin to overflow into the lives of others.
Instead of merely surviving, we become:
- Hope bringers
- Peacemakers
- Encouragers
- Witnesses
- Atmosphere changers
- Carriers of God’s presence
Ps. Candice reminds us that Scripture says rivers of living water should flow from believers — not tiny trickles.
The message also highlights the life of Smith Wigglesworth, an ordinary man who experienced extraordinary transformation through the infilling of the Holy Spirit and went on to impact thousands for Jesus.
This sermon is both an invitation and a challenge:
- Come to Jesus
- Believe in Him
- Continually be filled
- Overflow into the world around you
If you’ve been spiritually dry, weary, distracted, discouraged, or searching for peace, this message will encourage you to return to the source of living water.
Key Scripture:
John 7:37-39
In This Episode:
- The spiritual meaning of thirst
- Why success can’t satisfy the soul
- The Feast of Tabernacles explained
- The role of the Holy Spirit in everyday life
- How to stay spiritually filled daily
- Living a life that overflows onto others
- Practical ways to reconnect with God throughout the day

Episode Description
In this powerful Mother’s Day message, Ps Cathy Leicher honours every kind of mother and speaks life into the sacred calling of raising children. With honesty, humour, and biblical wisdom, she unpacks the challenges of parenting, the importance of balance, and the eternal impact of training children in the ways of God. Whether you are a parent, spiritual leader, or simply reflecting on your own upbringing, this message will encourage you to build faith into the next generation with intention and grace.
Key Scriptures
- Deuteronomy 6:5–7 — Love God and teach His ways to your children
- Proverbs 22:6 — Train up a child in the way they should go
- John 14:6 — Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life
- Luke 15:11–32 — The Prodigal Son
Big Ideas from the Message
1. Every mother matters
Biological, adoptive, step, foster, spiritual, and expectant mothers are all honoured and celebrated. Motherhood carries deep responsibility and grace.
2. Parenting requires balance
Avoid extremes:
- Too soft → entitlement, lack of boundaries
- Too harsh → rebellion, bitterness
Healthy parenting finds the “just right” balance of love and discipline.
3. Over-parenting can hinder growth
From “helicopter” to “lawnmower” parenting, overprotection can prevent children from developing responsibility, resilience, and confidence.
4. Faith must not be withheld
Children need consistent spiritual guidance. The greatest gift a parent can give is introducing their children to Jesus early.
5. Train, show, and equip
- Train: Build daily habits of faith and life skills
- Show: Model Jesus in everyday life
- Equip: Prepare children to walk in their own faith journey
Key Highlights
- Parenting is not about perfection, but grace, prayer, and consistency
- Children are shaped most in the early years (4–14 “window of opportunity”)
- Legacy is not what you leave behind, but what you leave within people
- Even wayward children are never beyond prayer and restoration
- The Father heart of God is seen in the story of the Prodigal Son
Practical Takeaways
- Start with your own relationship with God before teaching others
- Create daily rhythms of faith in your home (conversation, prayer, Scripture)
- Step back where necessary to allow children to grow responsibility
- Avoid extremes—lead with love, structure, and wisdom
- Never stop praying for your children, no matter their season
Closing Prayer Emphasis
A call to commit children—and ourselves—to God’s guidance, trusting Him to lead the next generation into truth, restoration, and purpose through Jesus Christ.

Faithful In The Small Things
A message on habits, identity, and long-term faithfulness through the story of David and Goliath.
Episode Summary
In this powerful message, Ps Khulu Duma reminds us that David’s victory over Goliath wasn’t a random miracle moment — it was the result of years of faithfulness in unseen places. Long before the giant fell, David was faithfully practicing with his sling, protecting sheep, and developing character in private.
This sermon challenges us to stop despising small beginnings and to recognize that the small habits, disciplines, and decisions we make consistently are shaping who we become. Whether it’s prayer, generosity, discipline, health, relationships, or leadership — God honors faithfulness in the small things.
The key question isn’t just “What do I want to do?” but “Who am I becoming?”

Faithful When It’s Costly.
Faithfulness isn’t built in a moment—it’s formed over a lifetime. In this powerful message, Ps Byron Chicken unpacks Jesus’ radical call to steadfast loyalty, sacrificial love, and daily surrender.
In a world that celebrates convenience and keeps options open, biblical faithfulness can feel costly. But whether it's in our relationships, convictions, calling, finances, or walk with God, faithfulness remains one of the highest virtues we can pursue—and it's always worth it.
Jesus calls us to:
• Give up our own way
• Take up our cross
• Follow Him
Following Jesus rarely means one dramatic decision. More often, it means a thousand small choices, made faithfully, day after day.
If you've been tempted to quit, compromise, or take the easier road, this message will strengthen your resolve and remind you that a faithful life becomes a source of life for others.
Key Scripture:
Matthew 16:21–25
In This Message:
- Why faithfulness is the backbone of flourishing lives and societies
- The real cost of following Jesus
- How to stay faithful in a culture of convenience
- Practical ways to live with courage, generosity, and conviction

Title: Faithful in the Waiting
Speaker: Donovan Cogill
Description:
Waiting is hard. Whether it’s for answers, breakthrough, or God to move—waiting can feel slow, silent, and even discouraging. But what if God is doing His greatest work in the waiting?
In this message, Faithful in the Waiting, we’re reminded that delay is not denial. Through the lives of Joseph, Abraham, and David, we see a powerful pattern: the promise, the waiting, the fulfillment. And in the middle of it all, a call to remain faithful.
Key Takeaways:
- God works in the waiting
When it feels like nothing is happening, God is still moving—often in ways we cannot see. - Delay is not denial
Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it won’t. - The waiting shapes you
What happens in the “middle” prepares you for what God has promised.
How to Stay Faithful While You Wait:
- Keep doing the right things (Joseph)
Faithfulness is proven in the waiting, not the breakthrough.
God is not just working for you—He’s working in you. - Believe God’s promises (Abraham)
What you believe shapes who you become.
Even when circumstances say otherwise, choose to trust what God has said. - Trust God’s timing (David)
Don’t rush the process or take shortcuts.
God is never late—He is always on time.
Powerful Truths:
- “God does His greatest work in the waiting.”
- “Delay is not denial.”
- “Faith isn’t proven in the breakthrough—it’s proven in the waiting.”
- “God will never promote you into something your character cannot sustain.”
Scripture References:
- Genesis 39 (Joseph’s faithfulness)
- Romans 4:18–22 (Abraham’s faith)
- 1 Samuel 24:4–7 (David’s restraint)
- Galatians 6:9 (Don’t grow weary in doing good)
- Isaiah 60:22 (God’s perfect timing)
Final Encouragement:
If you’re in a season of waiting, don’t give up. God hasn’t forgotten you. He is faithful—yesterday, today, and forever.
Stay faithful. Keep trusting. At the right time, He will come through.

Title: Faithful When We’re Faithless
Speaker: Ps Amy-Jane Duma
Description:
We all experience seasons—moments where faith feels strong and others where fear, disappointment, or uncertainty make it hard to believe. In this powerful message, Ps Amy-Jane reminds us of an unchanging truth: God remains faithful, even when we feel faithless.
Through personal stories and the life of Peter, we see that God’s faithfulness isn’t dependent on our performance—it’s rooted in His character. His love sees us, pursues us, and restores us.
Key Scripture:
2 Timothy 2:13 – “If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.”
Key Thought:
God’s faithfulness is not dependent on our faithfulness.
3 Truths About God’s Faithfulness:
• He sees you – Even in your weakest, most faithless moments, God looks at you with love, not condemnation.
• He pursues you – When you drift, He draws near. His love doesn’t give up on you.
• He restores your purpose – God doesn’t just forgive; He reaffirms your calling and trusts you again.
Illustration:
Like sitting on a chair without hesitation, we can trust God to hold us—even when we can’t see or feel Him. His faithfulness remains constant.
Application:
👉 Rest your full weight on the faithfulness of God.
Faith is not just believing—it’s trusting Him enough to lean your whole life on Him.
Reflection Questions:
• Where have I felt faithless recently?
• What fear, disappointment, or regret might be affecting my faith?
• What would it look like to fully rest in God’s faithfulness today?
Prayer:
Lord, thank You that You are faithful in every season. Help me to trust You, even when I can’t see clearly. Remind me that You see me, pursue me, and still have purpose for my life. I choose to rest fully in You. Amen.
Salvation Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for Your love and faithfulness. I’m sorry for my sin and mistakes. Today I choose to trust You and rest my life in Your hands. Forgive me, lead me, and be my Lord. Amen.

Jesus Over Everything | Easter Sunday 2026
What changed when the power of God returned to the tomb? Everything.
In this Resurrection Sunday message, Ps. Byron Chicken unpacks the life-changing reality that Easter is not only about an empty tomb, but about the power of God breaking into human history and proving that Jesus is over everything.
Looking at Matthew 28 and key New Testament passages, this sermon explores three great enemies every person faces:
1. Jesus is over sin
Sin is more than bad behavior. It is saying no to God and yes to ourselves. It is the root of our brokenness, damaged relationships, and inner struggle. But through the resurrection, Jesus broke the power of sin. Its grip can be weakened, its destruction can be stopped, and our lives can be changed as we become more like Christ.
2. Jesus is over Satan
The resurrection declared Christ’s victory over the enemy of our souls. Satan may still accuse, but his accusations have lost their authority. The courtroom is closed, the sentence has been served, and because of Jesus, we now live from a place of grace, victory, and freedom.
3. Jesus is over death
Death no longer has the final word. Through the resurrection, death has been turned from a full stop into a comma. For those who belong to Jesus, death is no longer the end, but the doorway into eternal life in the presence of God.
With humour, hope, and powerful illustrations, Ps. Byron reminds us that what looked like defeat on Friday became total victory on Sunday. Jesus is over sin. Jesus is over Satan. Jesus is over death.
If you are feeling spiritually dry, disconnected, or ready to make Jesus Lord over your life, this message is a powerful Easter reminder that resurrection power changes everything.
Scripture references: Matthew 28:1–7, Romans 6:5–11, Colossians 2:15, 1 Corinthians 15:51–57

What makes Good Friday “good”?
In this powerful Good Friday message, Ps. Candice Chicken unpacks the tension of the cross: physically, it was a horrific day of suffering, sorrow, and grief — but spiritually, it was astounding.
Looking at Isaiah 53, this sermon explores the deeper meaning behind Jesus’ crucifixion and why His death was unlike any other. While crucifixion was common in the Roman world, what made Jesus’ cross different was the spiritual reality of what took place there.
In this message, we discover two life-changing truths:
Jesus is over our suffering
Jesus carries our weakness, enters our sorrow, and brings healing and wholeness through the cross. Whether you are facing anxiety, grief, disappointment, fatigue, illness, or deep personal pain, this message is a reminder that you do not suffer alone.
Jesus is over our sin
Ps. Candice explains the biblical meaning of atonement, showing how the Old Testament sacrifices pointed toward Jesus — the spotless Lamb of God who gave His life once and for all. Through His blood, our sin is forgiven, our shame is removed, and we can be made right with God.
This message is both deeply reflective and full of hope, ending with a call to respond to Jesus and receive His forgiveness, freedom, healing, and grace.
Key Scripture: Isaiah 53
Also referenced: 2 Corinthians 12, Romans 6:23, 1 John 1:7, Revelation 21

Ps Candice Chicken continues our Us – Growing Greater Relationships series with a powerful message on the difference between relationship breakers and relationship builders.
In a world that often pushes selfishness, grudges, hurtful words, and distracted listening, Jesus shows us a better way to live and relate. This message unpacks four relationship breakers that damage connection, and four relationship builders that bring healing, strength, and unity.
In this message, you’ll discover how to:
• Put others first instead of living “me first”
• Extend grace instead of holding grudges
• Use words to build up instead of tear down
• Listen with your heart instead of being distracted
Ps Candice reminds us that healthy, life-giving relationships do not happen by accident. They are built as we follow the example and teaching of Jesus. With practical daily questions and simple habits, this message helps you identify one area to work on and start making changes immediately.
This sermon also carries a heartfelt call to reconciliation — not only with others, but ultimately with God. Through the story of a father and son restored after years of distance, we’re reminded that it’s never too late for healing, forgiveness, and peace.
If you’re longing for stronger relationships, deeper connection, and a more Christ-centered way of living, this message is for you.
Let Jesus show you a better way to build.

Friendship might be one of the most overlooked gifts God has given us.
In this message, Ps Byron Chicken unpacks insights from the Harvard Study of Adult Development—an 80-year study that found the single greatest predictor of a good life is not wealth, success, or fame, but friendship. Deep, meaningful relationships shape our joy, resilience, health, and ability to walk through hard seasons well.
But in today’s culture, real friendship is under pressure. We live in what many call a “friendship recession”—a time marked by busyness, disappointment, emotional exhaustion, shallow digital connection, and the breakdown of the natural structures that once helped friendships grow.
Through Scripture and the story of the paralyzed man carried by his friends to Jesus in Mark 2, this message reminds us that friendship is worth fighting for. Real friends carry us when we are weak, help us overcome obstacles, and move us closer to Jesus.
Ps Byron shares practical wisdom on how to build close, life-giving friendships using the acronym C.L.O.S.E.:
Consistency – Show up regularly and stay present
Likeness – Build around shared interests and common ground
Openness – Be vulnerable and honest
Shared Space – Prioritise face-to-face connection
Engagement – Show genuine interest in one another
This message is both a challenge and an encouragement: pray for godly friendships, choose to become a better friend, and don’t let disappointment stop you from receiving one of God’s best gifts.
You don’t need more connections. You need a few people who will walk with you until you become who God has called you to be.

What comes out of you when life squeezes you?
In this message, Ps Hein Bruyns shares a powerful truth: healthy relationships start with personal healing. Too often we blame others, our past, or our pain for what spills out of us—but Jesus shows us that what’s inside our hearts eventually shapes every relationship around us.
In Us Starts With Me, Hein unpacks how blame blocks healing, why our relationships bear the fruit of what’s happening inside us, and how Jesus invites us into real restoration. This message is honest, practical, and full of hope for anyone wanting stronger marriages, friendships, family relationships, and inner wholeness.
If what’s broken in us can eventually break us, then what’s healed in us can eventually heal us.
In this episode:
- Why blame keeps us stuck
- How inner pain affects outer relationships
- What Jesus teaches about healing the heart
- Why healing starts with taking responsibility
- How to come to Jesus for real restoration
3 practical ways to pursue healing:
- Come to Jesus with authenticity
- Reveal your struggles in safe community
- Keep returning to His presence
Key Scriptures:
Luke 6:43–45
Matthew 7:1–6
Matthew 11:28–30
James 5:16
Psalm 145:18
This message will encourage you to stop fixing your eyes on everyone else, bring your heart honestly to Jesus, and let Him begin a work of healing that overflows into every part of your life.

We live in a world where connection has never been easier—yet meaningful relationships often feel harder than ever. In this message, Khulu Duma launches the series “US: Growing Greater Relationships” by addressing a modern challenge many of us face: the divide created by our screens.
Relationships matter deeply, but our devices can quietly pull our attention away from the people who matter most. Phones, laptops, TVs, and even smartwatches can interrupt conversations, reduce face-to-face interaction, and create habits that slowly distance us from those we love.
Research shows the average person touches their phone between 90 and 150 times a day, and in some cases up to 300 times. These habits are reinforced by dopamine loops created by notifications, messages, and endless scrolling. The result? Technology begins to shape our attention and becomes the “frame of reference” in our daily interactions.
But here’s the tension: we need our devices. They help us work remotely, connect with family across the world, capture memories, and access learning tools. The real issue isn’t eliminating technology—it’s mastering it instead of being mastered by it.
Drawing from First Epistle to the Corinthians 6:12, we’re reminded:
“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial… I will not be mastered by anything.
This truth leads to a powerful challenge: Master the screens that divide us.
In this episode, we explore five practical ways to reclaim connection:
• Create Phone-Free Moments – Some moments should belong to people, not screens.
• Start and End the Day Without Screens – The first and last moments of the day shape our focus.
• Practice Intentional Checking – Technology should serve us, not control us.
• Protect Deep Connection Time – Relationships grow when we give people our full attention.
• Have a Weekly Digital Reset – Regular breaks from technology help our minds and relationships reset.
Just as the Berlin Wall once divided families for decades before suddenly coming down, the barriers created by screens in our lives can also be torn down. With intentional choices and God’s help, we can rebuild connection and strengthen the relationships that matter most.
Ultimately, the greatest connection we can have is with Jesus. When our relationship with Him is restored, it begins to reshape every other relationship in our lives.
If you’ve ever felt distracted, disconnected, or pulled away from the people you love, this message will help you take practical steps toward closing the divide and building greater relationships.

In a world full of noise, pressure, and uncertainty, many of us search for peace in quieter environments, better circumstances, or a break from the chaos of life. But what if true peace doesn’t come from calm surroundings?
In this powerful message, Donovan Cogill shares a personal story from a retreat where everything on the outside was perfectly peaceful—yet his mind was anything but. Through the story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35–41, we discover that real peace is not found in the absence of storms, but in the presence of Jesus.
Even experienced fishermen feared for their lives when a violent storm hit their boat—yet Jesus was asleep. His confidence came from knowing the Father’s will and knowing who He was. The storm may have interrupted the journey, but it could never cancel the promise of reaching the other side.
This message unpacks two powerful truths about Greater Peace:
1. Greater Peace Through Confidence
Jesus trusted the Father’s will and knew His identity. In the same way, we can face life’s storms with confidence when we remember who we are in Christ:
• A child of God
• Chosen and secure
• More than a conqueror
• Christ lives in us
When we know who we are and whose we are, the storm loses its power to define us.
2. Greater Peace Through Confrontation
After calming the storm, Jesus asked the disciples a challenging question: “Where is your faith?”
He wasn’t ignoring the storm—they were real. But Jesus was confronting something deeper: fear.
Fear grows when we believe we are alone. But the truth is, we are never alone—Jesus is in the boat with us.
The message also reflects on the life of Horatio Spafford, who wrote the famous hymn “It Is Well With My Soul” after losing his daughters in a tragic shipwreck. Even in devastating loss, he experienced a peace that could only come from God’s presence.
Peace is not found when storms disappear. Peace is found when we recognize who is in the boat with us.
If you’re facing pressure, uncertainty, or fear today, be encouraged:
Greater Peace is not just a promise—it’s a Person. His name is Jesus.

Episode Title: Greater Transformation
There are moments in life when everything shifts because of one interaction, one conversation, one unexpected encounter. In this powerful message, we unpack John 4 and the story of the woman at the well—an ordinary day that turned into a life-changing encounter with Jesus.
She came carrying a jar. Routine. Shame. Disappointment. Survival.
She left with living water—and a testimony.
This episode explores how greater transformation begins with great grace from God and results in great works for God.
Key Scripture
John 4 (The Woman at the Well)
3 Movements of Greater Transformation
1️⃣ Jesus Meets Us
Jesus “had to” go through Samaria. Not for convenience—but for a divine appointment.
Before we ever seek Him, He seeks us.
Before we clean ourselves up, He meets us as we are.
Grace always starts the conversation.
“While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8
“We are more sinful and flawed than we ever dared believe, yet more loved and accepted in Christ than we ever dared hope.” – Tim Keller
Practice this week:
Start each day with a simple prayer:
“Jesus, meet me at my well today.”
Invite Him into your routine. Give Him permission to interrupt you.
2️⃣ Jesus Changes Us
Jesus lovingly confronts the woman’s past—not to shame her, but to free her.
Transformation is free.
Surrender is costly.
We often pray:
“Jesus, fill me… but don’t touch this.”
“Change me… but don’t ask me to surrender that.”
The jar represents the temporary things we keep returning to—relationships, control, ambition, comfort, hidden compromise.
Living water and the jar cannot coexist.
“Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning.” – Dallas Willard
Practice this week:
Ask the Holy Spirit:
“What jar are You asking me to put down?”
Don’t defend it. Surrender it.
When the jar goes down, freedom begins.
3️⃣ Jesus Sends Us
After her encounter, the woman runs back to town:
“Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did!”
The one who avoided the crowd is now gathering a crowd.
Transformation isn’t complete until it overflows.
A surrendered life becomes a sent life.
One conversation led to a town believing.
You don’t need a theology degree.
You just need your story.
Practice this week:
Pray: “Lord, give me one name.”
One person to share your story with.
Big Idea
Greater transformation starts with grace from God—but it must result in works for God.
Jesus meets us.
Jesus changes us.
Jesus sends us.
You never know who might encounter Jesus because you encountered Him first.

🎙 Greater Fruitfulness
Ps Byron Chicken
What were your child’s first words?
First words matter. They carry weight. They reveal what’s important.
But have you ever stopped to consider what God’s first words to humanity were?
In Genesis 1:28, God speaks His very first mandate over mankind:
“Be fruitful and multiply.”
From the very beginning — and again in John 15 as Jesus establishes the New Covenant — the call is the same:
Be fruitful.
This message explores what biblical fruitfulness really means — and it’s far deeper than success, productivity, or results.
🌳 In This Episode
Ps Byron unpacks three powerful truths about fruitfulness:
1️⃣ Fruitfulness is Christ’s life flowing through us
Galatians 5 reminds us that true fruit is:
- Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control.
Fruitfulness isn’t striving — it’s Jesus living His life through us.
“How would Jesus live His life if He were me?”
2️⃣ Fruitfulness is about roots, not results
An apple tree doesn’t strain to produce apples.
It simply stays connected to the tree and planted in good soil.
Deep roots + healthy soil = natural fruit.
Ps Byron explores key “soils” where fruit grows:
- 🌱 Surrender
- 📖 Scripture
- ⏳ Spiritual rhythms
- 🤝 Community
- 🌧 Trials
When we stay connected to Jesus, fruit happens naturally.
3️⃣ Fruitfulness is for others
An apple tree never eats its own fruit.
Fruit exists to nourish someone else.
When Christ’s character grows in us:
- People experience peace when we enter the room.
- They find shade in our consistency.
- They taste grace in our words.
- They are strengthened by our integrity.
Fruitfulness isn’t about personal growth alone — it’s about blessing the world around us.
🌍 A Picture of Fruitfulness
Ps Byron shares the story of Wangari Maathai — founder of the Green Belt Movement in Kenya, who mobilized rural women to plant tens of millions of trees.
Her life literally left greenery in her wake.
That’s the picture of spiritual fruitfulness — leaving life wherever you go.
🙏 Invitation
The key to fruitfulness is connection.
Jesus said, “Remain in me.”
When our roots are in Him:
- We don’t strive.
- We don’t perform.
- We don’t pretend.
We simply become trees heavy with fruit — fruit that feeds others.

Greater Things: From God, For God!
Vision Sunday 2026 | Ps Byron Chicken
What does it look like to live a life marked by Greater Things?
In this Vision Sunday message, Ps Byron unpacks one of the most daring moments in Scripture — Peter stepping out of the boat — and shows us how expectation and obedience work together to unlock greater things from God and for God.
Key Scripture
- Matthew 14:21–33 (Peter walks on water)
Message Highlights
- Peter wasn’t reckless — he was expectant.
- Greater things are released when expectation meets obedience.
- Peter believed he could do what Jesus was doing — and acted on it.
- Faith isn’t passive; it moves toward Jesus.
Big Idea
Greater Things = Expectation + Obedience
How We Grow in Expectation
- Faith memory: Remembering what God has already done builds faith for what He will do next.
- Bold prayers: If Peter never asked, he never would have walked.
- God’s promises: What we feed on shapes what we expect.
Expectation is the key that opens the door to see the whole room — not just the keyhole.
Obedience Reframed
- Obedience isn’t restrictive — it’s liberating.
- What is birthed in expectation must grow up in obedience.
- One step of obedience can set up a lifetime of victory.
What Holds Us Back
- Fear of loss
- Fear of uncertainty
- Desire for control
- Impatience with God’s timing
- Distraction and busyness
Greater Things From God
- Deeper intimacy with Jesus
- Spiritual transformation
- Freedom and deliverance
- Provision beyond human calculation
- Restoration beyond loss
- Fruitfulness and lasting impact
- Peace and stability in chaos
Greater Things For God — Together

Episode Summary
This episode invites listeners to drop the pressure of perfection and instead pick up a “compass faith” — a daily, relational journey of obedience with Jesus.
Main Themes
-
Why Resolutions Fail
-
We promise to be better, but life doesn’t promise to be easier.
- Resolutions assume we have control — but we don’t.
-
Life is too unpredictable for “planner faith”.
-
Planner vs Compass
-
A planner assumes control and fixed outcomes.
- A compass assumes direction and daily alignment.
-
Jesus invites us to follow Him as our true north, no matter what.
-
Obedience > Sacrifice
From the story of Saul:
- Saul sacrificed but didn’t fully obey.
- Partial obedience is still disobedience.
- God desires hearts that follow Him, not just religious activity.
“Obedience is better than sacrifice.” – 1 Samuel 15:22
Three Differences Between Sacrifice and Obedience
-
Outward vs Inward
-
Sacrifice: External actions, religious performance.
-
Obedience: Flows from inward transformation.
-
Human Effort vs Divine Power
-
Sacrifice: Striving in your own strength.
-
Obedience: Trusting God’s power and guidance.
-
Earning Blessing vs Walking in Blessing
-
Sacrifice: Trying to earn God’s favour.
- Obedience: Realising that following God is the blessing.
The Principle of Alignment
To walk in obedience, we must stay aligned with God — like regular wheel alignment for a car. Life’s “potholes” knock us off course, so we need constant realignment.
Five Practical Ways to Align with God
-
Align Your Heart – Worship
-
Give God the first few minutes you already have each day.
-
Worship realigns your heart with God’s presence.
-
Align Your Mind – Scripture
-
Read one verse or passage daily.
-
Ask: “How does this change how I live today?”
-
Align with Others – Community
-
Choose one person and one rhythm.
-
Ask weekly:
- What did I do well?
- Where did I drift?
-
Align Your Voice – Prayer
-
Pray in natural pauses (car, lunch break, before sleep).
-
Simple prayers: “God guide me. God help me obey.”
-
Align Your Actions – Reflection
Once a week, ask:
- Where did I sense God’s leading?
- Where did I resist God’s leading?
- What one adjustment can I make next week?
Powerful Illustration – Jackie Pullinger
A missionary who obeyed a simple calling to go to Hong Kong without a plan, funding, or structure. Her obedience led to:
She didn’t have a planner — she had a compass.
Final Invitation
Jesus doesn’t want your perfect plans — He wants your daily obedience.
Not big promises. Not religious performance.
Just a simple, honest “yes” every day.
Choose direction, not perfection.
Choose obedience, not sacrifice.

What if blessing isn’t something we chase—but something we choose?
In this powerful and deeply honest message, Ps Candice reflects on a painful 2025 and invites us into a better way forward for 2026. Drawing from the life of Jacob in Genesis, she unpacks what it truly means to choose blessing—not by striving, stealing, or forcing outcomes, but by pursuing the presence of God.
This sermon is for anyone who has wrestled with disappointment, grief, unanswered prayers, or uncertainty about the future—and is still daring to believe God has more.
Key Themes
- Choosing blessing in the midst of hardship
- Wrestling with God instead of walking away
- The power of perseverance and transformation
- Identity change before blessing flows
- Pursuing the face of God over the hand of God
Scripture Focus
- Genesis 32:22–31 – Jacob wrestles with God
- Psalm 46:10 – “Be still and know that I am God”
- Psalm 139:23–24 – “Search me, O God…”
- Jeremiah 29:13 – “You will seek Me and find Me…”
Big Idea
We don’t choose blessing by buying it or stealing it.
We choose blessing by choosing the presence of God.
When we pursue His face, His provision follows.
The Path to Blessing: B.L.E.S.S.
A practical framework for pursuing God’s presence:
B – Be still before God
Create space to encounter Him in the quiet.
L – Listen for His voice
God speaks in everyday moments—learn to recognize His voice.
E – Examine your heart
Invite God to search you, convict you, and lead you into repentance.
S – Surrender your will
Let go of control and choose God’s way over your own.
S – Seek His presence continually
Daily devotion and weekly gathering shape a blessed life.
Memorable Quotes
- “A limp with God is better than no limp without God.”
- “Don’t let go in the middle of the wrestle.”
- “We don’t pursue the hand of God—we pursue the face of God.”
- “When we get the order right, we will be blessed.”
Final Invitation
The starting point of a blessed life is saying yes to Jesus.
Blessing flows from relationship, not performance.

CHOOSE GOD!
Trading the Sacred for the Secular
One decision. One moment of weakness. One bowl of stew.
Esau’s choice echoes through history—and challenges us to examine our own.
In this message from the Choose Well series, we explore how shortcuts cost more than we realize, and how choosing God over self leads to life, legacy, and blessing.
📖 Scripture
Genesis 25:24–34
Esau trades his birthright—something sacred—for something temporary. What looks small in the moment creates massive spiritual consequences.
🔑 Main Thought
Every shortcut cuts us short and cuts us out of what God wants to do.
🥣 The Danger of Shortcuts
Shortcuts often tempt us to:
- Choose the easy thing over the good thing
- Choose our way over God’s way
- Choose our solution instead of God’s provision
- Choose the secular over the sacred
Esau satisfied a legitimate hunger in an illegitimate way—and lost far more than he gained.
✝️ Esau vs Jesus
- Esau: Hungry → takes a shortcut → trades his future
- Jesus: Hungry → resists the shortcut → trusts the Father
Jesus shows us what it looks like to choose the sacred, even when it costs us in the moment.
🧭 How to Choose God Daily
Ask one simple question before every decision:
“Will this connect me to God—or disconnect me from Him?”
That question brings clarity to:
- Relationships
- Career choices
- Time, money, and priorities
- Habits, discipline, and self-control
🔥 Sacred vs Secular
- Self-control is sacred; addiction is secular
- Faithfulness is sacred; compromise is secular
- Serving God’s house is sacred; convenience is secular
- Sabbath, generosity, prayer, and worship are sacred
Choosing the sacred keeps God first—even when culture pressures us otherwise.
🙏 A Call to Response
At the start of this year, we have the opportunity to choose better than Esau did.
We don’t have to be perfect—we just have to choose God.
“God, I choose You.
I choose the sacred over the secular.”

Walk In The Light!
Main Text: John 12:35–36, 46
Christmas is a season full of lights — decorations, celebrations, and festive cheer — yet for many people, it can still feel like one of the darkest times of the year.
In this powerful and hope-filled message, we’re reminded of a simple but life-changing truth: the presence of light doesn’t change a life — responding to it does.
Drawing from Jesus’ words in John 12, this message invites us not just to admire the light, but to walk in it.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why light is more than decoration — it’s direction
- How walking toward the light brings clarity, freedom, and peace
- Why small, faithful steps matter more than perfect conditions
- How the light of Christ shapes who we’re becoming
- Why God’s invitations often come with a window of opportunity
- What it means to respond to Jesus now, not later
Whether you’re feeling hopeful, heavy, curious, or searching, this message offers a gentle but clear invitation: step out of the darkness and walk with Jesus — the Light of the World.
“Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.” — John 12:36
If you’re in a season of uncertainty, pressure, or transition, this episode will encourage you to take your next step — not in fear or pressure, but in faith and hope.
🎄 Light has come. The invitation is open. Walk in the light.
