The Link Church
Here to inspire people to have a meaningful relationship with Jesus. Love God, Love People, Make a Difference.
The Church as we know it is at a crossroads; the world is looking in, trying to understand what would drive us to lay down our lives for the truth. In the wake of that, we are seeing the Church rise up, and become bold. But if we slow down, if we hesitate, we will stall out like every revival that's gone before. It is time for the Church to become radical. A radical Christianity for a radical time in history.
We are living in a day and age where even peacefully discussing the Bible is enough to get you shot and killed. For so long, the Church has grown passive, fearful and timid.
But God is calling us to more - to stand up and stand out. To be counted for Him. So what will it take to inspire a generation of Christians to stand up as His Church and be all that we're called to be?
"He that dies with the most toys wins".
It's the embodiment of everything that we see in our world today - a calling card for a lifestyle of consuming, spending, getting, taking. A lifecycle of use and abuse.
But God has called us to live a life of abundance in whatever situation we face. So how do we learn to trust that less in the hands of God is more than everything gotten in our own strength?
This Father’s Day, we’re talking MEN, who they’re called to be, what’s at stake, and why the world desperately needs them to rise up.
Men are under attack in our culture, in the church, and in the family. The enemy’s agenda is clear: strip men of their identity, weaken their influence, and destroy the very foundation of society. But God has called men to so much more, to be prophets, priests, providers, protectors, and fathers.
In this episode, we’ll open Scripture, challenge passivity, and call men to stand firm in faith, lead with courage, and love like Jesus.
And ladies, don’t dial out!
You play a powerful role in cheering men on as they step into God’s calling.
It’s time for men to stop drifting, stop apologising, and start leading.
Because when men act like men, everything changes.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take."
But in a world where trust is taken for granted, and abused, how can we learn trust God in all we do? And what does trust look like?
We are living in the age of the identity crisis - everywhere the world looks in turmoil, people are reaching for meaning and finding nothing. But could it be that the Church of God has what it takes change lives - that as we remember who we are and how valuable we are to God, we'll see transformation in our world? How can understanding our value in Christ change everything?
But what spirit are we operating in when we do that?
In this episode, we explore the powerful (and cautionary) story of Absalom, a man with influence, opportunity, and a right to be angry, but who allowed pride, bitterness, and manipulation of people to ruin his life. We’ll uncover how the “Absalom spirit” still works today, how it destroys character, and why God is more concerned with what’s in our hearts than with how clever our revenge strategy might be.
If you’ve ever been tempted to take matters into your own hands, this message will challenge you to choose God’s values over personal vengeance and to let your life be marked by humility, forgiveness, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
As we near the end of our journey through Hebrews, we uncover a powerful truth, this letter wasn’t written to a new church, but to a mature one. Maturity in faith isn’t instant; it’s a lifelong journey marked by growth, challenge, and discipline. In this message, we’ll unpack why God’s discipline is never a sign of rejection, but proof of His deep love. We’ll explore what spiritual immaturity looks like, why discipline matters, and what we need to do so we can run the race set before us. If you’re ready to grow up in your faith and embrace God’s refining work, this message is for you.
Faith isn't just a feeling; its the foundation of our relationship with God. It's the lens through which we see the invisible, believe for the impossible, and hold fast when everything around us feels uncertain.
Hebrews is a book full of wisdom for today. It has lessons on every part of church and our Christian walk. But what happens when the book of Hebrews unpacks an obscure event in Genesis: a random encounter between Abraham and a man named Melchizidek? Could it be that this short encounter holds secrets to understanding Salvation, Communion, Tithing, Church, and even the identity of Jesus?
70 years after Jesus’ resurrection, the Church got a letter — and it still speaks loud and clear today.
In this message, we dive into Hebrews 3 and unpack a powerful warning:
"When you hear His voice, don’t harden your heart."
Are we still listening?
Or have we traded soft hearts for performance, pride, and routine?
Let’s talk about:
What a hard heart looks like
Why reverence for Jesus matters more than ever
How we take back what the enemy stole
And why this message is urgent for the Church in 2025
Only Jesus. Still Jesus. Always Jesus.
Hit play. Let’s go deeper.
This week, we open the powerful pages of the Book of Hebrews, a letter written to a mature, established church almost 70 years after Jesus’ death. But its message still hits home today.
Hebrews challenges those of us who are mature and those of us who want to be. It speaks to the slow fade we often don’t see coming, the drift. When passion fades, excuses grow. When zeal dies, people wander. Sound familiar?
We’re diving deep into Hebrews 2and Matthew 13, confronting the sobering truth: when we lose grip on the Truth, we don’t just stand still, we drift. Whether we’ve replaced Biblical truth with culture, preachers, or convenience, the warning is clear: Listen carefully or drift silently.
This is a call to self-check, to recentre, to get back to the basics of the Gospel. Let’s talk about hard soil, shallow faith, and thorns that choke out life, and let’s find the fertile ground again.
If you’re ready to stop drifting and start growing, this one’s for you.
In a world where opinion is loud and everywhere, God's church needs to be clear. As we unpack the start of Hebrews, we answer one question that underpins the whole gospel: why did God become man; and how does it change our understanding of scripture?
In a culture where love has been commercialized, distorted, and misrepresented, this message cuts through the noise.
From Hollywood’s romance to the world’s obsession with self-gratification, we ask the real question: Do we actually know what love is?
Drawing from 1 John 4:16, John 3:16, and John 14:15, we explore what it means when the Bible says "God is love", not as a feeling, but as a divine action.
Are you living out AGAPE love?
Do you know His commandments, and are you keeping them?
This is a call to every believer: to stop parroting the world’s version of love and start embodying the real thing.
Real love, it’s not a vibe, it’s not a holiday.
It’s obedience. It’s sacrifice. It’s action.
Jump in as we dive deep, ask the hard questions, and rediscover what it really means to say: “I love Jesus.”
Lot’s wife, in a moment of hesitation, lost her future because she clung to her past—a sobering reminder of the consequences of looking back when God is calling us forward. Zoar, though a place of refuge, was never meant to be the destination—it represents settling for less than what God has promised.
Embracing our new life requires that we fully surrender the old, are you trying to blend your past and future?
Jesus Himself emphasised that new wine doesn’t fit into old wineskins, and patching up remnants of the past instead of fully embracing transformation leads to loss.
Your challenge is clear: do we want what looks good to us, or what God has planned for us? Are we willing to surrender our way for His way? Are we making choices that lead to significance, or are we hovering near destruction, thinking we’ll escape untouched?
This isn’t just a message—it’s a call to action!
We’ve journeyed through the Book of Acts together, witnessing not just the early church’s transformation—but our own. As we land at Pentecost, 50 days after Easter, we pause to reflect not just on what happened after the Spirit was poured out, but what took place in the waiting.
In this message, Ps Ands challenges us to consider:
What do we do when the promise feels delayed?
What if the waiting is where the real power is formed?
Through Scripture, humour, and deep encouragement, you’ll be reminded that:
• God's timing is perfect
• His promises are always for His Kingdom
• And waiting—done faithfully—can be the most powerful obedience of all
So, if you’ve ever felt stuck between promise and fulfilment, this episode is for you. Dawn is coming. Will you still be there when the promise is fulfilled?
In a world that looks increasingly like the first century, a world filled with human wisdom, gods of our making, and self-love, we need to be more like the church of Acts. We need to be BOLD.
How do we become as BOLD as the church of Acts, willing to forsake EVERYTHING and run after Jesus?
In this powerful message, we dive into the early church’s explosive growth—and why modern churches often fall short. From Moses’ leadership in Exodus to the apostles’ strategy in Acts 6, we explore how God’s design for shared leadership, discipleship, and Spirit-led responsibility led to real multiplication… not just maintenance.
If you're tired of church being a spectator sport and you're ready to serve, build, give, lead, or simply grow, this one's for you.
We're not building a church around a person. We’re building around Jesus.
Join the conversation. Be challenged. Be inspired. And ask yourself: Are you commenting... or contributing?
This week, Ps Ands takes us deep into the heart of obedience—what it really means to follow God's call, even when it’s uncomfortable, inconvenient, or outright scary. Drawing from Acts 9 and the powerful transformation of Saul to Paul, we’re challenged to stop resisting and start responding to God’s promptings.
Are we delaying obedience like Ananias? Are we resisting like Saul? Or are we ready to say YES, no matter the cost?
This message is a raw, Spirit-led call to action—to become a church that doesn’t just hear God’s voice but follows it with courage.
Be stirred, and let’s get back to doing church like they did in Acts: with boldness, sacrifice, and unwavering obedience.
Listen now and be equipped to say YES to God
“Sacrifice,” Pastor Andrew calls us back to the radical heart of the early church: a Spirit-led, others-first way of living.
If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to follow Jesus beyond Sunday, this message is for you. Get ready to be inspired, stirred, and maybe even a little uncomfortable—for all the right reasons.
All throughout scripture, we hear the stories of heroes and giants. From King David, to Queen Esther, to the Apostle Paul.... But in those same pages of scripture are ordinary people like us whose lives changed the course of history. Leah was unloved, unseen wife of great man; but her life shaped nations. Could it be that the same God that made Israel a nation is the same God that draws near to the broken hearted?
In Devoted, we explore what it means to live set apart in a society that absorbs everything but stands for little. Drawing from the Book of Acts and grounded in Romans 12:2, this message invites you to embrace Kingdom culture: a life of radical devotion to Jesus through teaching, fellowship, sharing, and prayer. Join us as we unpack Scripture, challenge cultural norms, and ask the hard questions—What are you really devoted to?
This isn’t about religion. This is about transformation.
Life is loud, demanding, and nonstop. Between work, family, ministry, and the chaos of everyday life, it's easy to lose focus—especially on what matters most. Focus is the space where we pause, get real, and refocus on what truly fuels us: our relationship with Jesus.
In this message, we unpack the tension between the busyness of life and the beauty of stillness with God. No fluff. Just honest conversation, biblical truth, and heartfelt challenges to realign your soul. Whether you're running on empty or just need a moment to breathe, Focus is your reminder that prayer isn't just important—it's essential.
Because if Jesus made time to be alone with the Father… Shouldn’t we?

On His final journey into Jerusalem, Jesus was making every last moment with His disciples count. Just about everything we need to know to live an effective Christian life is found in the last few weeks of Jesus'. In the second week of our series, we're unpacking the resurrection of Lazarus; a mighty miracle from Jesus that has so much to teach us about salvation, the resurrection, and even how to come to Jesus. Find out everything you need to know about God's plan for salvation.
As Easter approaches, we invite you to take a journey with us — one that follows Jesus and His disciples to Jerusalem. Along the way, we’ll reflect on the lessons we can learn from the moments they experienced. In today’s episode, we explore a powerful moment when Jesus curses a fig tree, leaving His disciples puzzled. What did it all mean? Was He just "hangry," or was there a deeper message for us to uncover?
We dive into what it means to truly live out our faith, beyond the leaves of appearances, and into the fruit of genuine discipleship. Jesus isn’t impressed by a show — He’s looking for real, spiritual fruit in our lives. From the temple to the fig tree, Jesus challenges us to rethink what it means to be His followers, not on our terms, but on His.
Is your faith about the show, or are you bearing fruit that honours Jesus? Tune in as we reflect on what it truly means to live for Christ in a world full of distractions.
We all need healing in our lives: physical healing, emotional healing... but what if the root of all our ails isn't physical or emotional, but spiritual? Could it be that the secret to real healing in Christ is recognising that we are sinners needing a Saviour and a dedication to building a meaningful relationship with Jesus.
Emotions are at the centre of our heart and life; but if we're not careful to handle them God's way, then they'll lead us astray. God has called us to heal emotionally His way so that we can go out and help the world. So how do we heal? Find out tonight.
In the modern world, science has given us a myriad of miracles, cures, and treatments. But Jesus is still our healer. Find out how we can find our way to the healing Jesus promises us.
Repent. It's a heavy word. And in today's world, it can sound so foreign to us. But God has called us to repent and believe in Him. Like it or not, each of us needs to face the repentance required to bring us into God's best. So let's not delay. Let's repent.
When God called the Israelites into the promised land, they faced 7 enemies; and when we start walking toward God's promises, we will face the same 7 enemies in subtle, but predictable ways. In this final week of the series, we're looking at the Jebusites - the original inhabitants of Jerusalem, who lived in a walled city high up in the hills. The city was a stronghold against the people of God. Find out how we can pull down the strongholds the enemy sets up in our lives, and live free from his influence.
"If it feels good, do it" is the law of the jungle in our world today, but did God really call us to live a life of vain pleasure? Of fleeting fancies and feelings? Did He want us to live fast, die young and make a pretty corpse? Or have we let the world shape our perspective? And is it possible that it's affected even the most "holy" of peoples? Hedonism is a serious, insidious enemy. Find out how we can put it behind us for good.
7 weeks, 7 enemies: this week we're talking about the Perizzites - a parasitic lack of discipline that has infected our society, our world and even our Church. But is there a hope from the chaos and turbulence of our undisciplined lives?
"Money makes the world go 'round" but we as Christians were called to rule and reign with Christ. So how can we break free of the cycle of money having such a tight hold over us?
7 weeks; 7 enemies. This week we're talking about the Amorites - a prideful nation that turned their back on God. It sounds eerily like our world today; but scripture has the cure for the state we're in. God has given us a way out from the burden of pride. But are we willing to submit to God and things His way?
Introducing the Girgashites.. This enemy is strange, you would think they are not that scary, BUT... This is devastating if this culture infiltrate's your life!!
The enemy has been allowed to run rampant in the city for too long! And all because the Church has sat back to SCARED to do something about it...
But NO MORE!!!
This is the city God called us to and we will not let evil take over!
IT IS TIME TO PUSH BACK!!!

The heavens open. The sky grows dark. A thundering voice cries out from the heavens… it's the vision most of us have for the call of God on our lives.

The smallest amount of Faith, can move the biggest mountains. So how much Faith do you really have?

It's impossible to have a relationship without spending time with one another. As Christians, our relationship with Jesus stems from prayer; but how do we find time for prayer in a world where everything is SCREAMING for our attention?
"If you don't know who you are in Christ, you're going to miss all that God has for you."
In a world where who we are is so lost, and changeable, how do we as Christians find our identity in Christ? And how do we keep ahold of that identity when the world is screaming at us?
In a world where everything we hear clouds our judgement, how can we know the truth about God's word? How can we lift the truth of God's Word out from the gospels?
Marriage is a sign of Jesus promise to return. But what do we do in the meantime? How can we know when Jesus will come back for His bride, and how can we be ready? And could it be that Jesus has already answered these questions for us?
Marriage is beautiful. But marriage is about more than just a beautiful day. It's a deep and profound revelation of who God is, and how He loves us. Find out what marriage really means, and find your invitation to the most important wedding of all time.
That is the question. Churches have split over the tithe. But is there a new way? Is there something about giving both sides have missed? How should we live out our faith through our finance?
We know as Christians we're meant to shine. But the Bible also calls us to live under cover. What does this mean, and how do we do it?
Jesus commanded us to shine like a light on a hill. But how do we let our light shine in a world so full of darkness?
We call ourselves Christians when we first respond to Christ, but God has called us to more than just a one-time decision. How do we respond to God in our daily lives? How can we add to our Godliness?
