    Worldliness is defined as anything in a Christian's life or mind that causes us to lose the enjoyment of the Father's love, or our desire to do the will of God. Pastor Paul discusses the three worldly traps - lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life, that we need to be wary of. Do we love God more than the world?

    We begin a new teaching series though the book of 1 John. In our first instalment, we focus on joy and how it can be experienced through the presence of Jesus in our own lives. True joy is something that can never be taken away, and it is something that is offered to us daily. The presence of Jesus, fullness of joy.

    A Compromising King

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 6, 2023 36:25


    Last Sunday, we were reminded of the dangers found in compromise. Even when faced with a crisis, trial or difficult season - we must not come to a conclusion of Who God is and what He is doing. Rather the falling away, we should remain true to the truth of God's Word and give Him our full attention. Do you have a wrong conclusion or Who is and what He is doing? Choose surrender. Choose to be still.

    Godly Revenge

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 23, 2023 42:31


    The next instalment of "David: The Life of a King" focuses in on repaying evil for good. Forgiveness is something we can see exemplified throughout David's life. Blessing those who persecute us requires self denial - but it is a practice that will result in joy and peace as a result of following Jesus' way.

    God's Protective Presence

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 16, 2023 39:12


    Last Sunday's message reminded us of the power and protection found in the presence of God. Most often, the pre-requisite to the promises of God are His commands. Our first response should always be to turn to the Word and prayer, and to practice His presence each day.

    Peace In The Chaos

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 9, 2023 39:24


    As we returned to our series on the life of David, we receive an invitation. A call to return to the joy of our salvation. To receive the perfect peace, found only in knowing and trusting the Saviour. Whether you find yourself in a difficult season or feel bitter, angry or alone - there is salvation in the Name of Jesus, and He is the keeper of peace.

    Encouragement From A Cave

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 18, 2023 38:17


    As we journey on with David, we come to a story of him receiving great hope and courage in the face of fear. David was facing opposition from his enemies, and he finds himself trapped in a cave. However we see David cry out to God and express radical dependance and trust in Him. David was able to experience God as His Shepherd and faithful Father. No matter what season we may find ourselves in, we must remain steadfast in trusting our Father. Even in our greatest time of need, we can find peace and see that God is doing something beautiful through our brokeness.

    Decision Making In Times Of Crisis

    The latest instalment of "David - The Life of a King" brings us several Biblical principles on how we can have clarity, peace of mind and make wise decisions in times of crisis.

    A King On The Run

    Play Episode Listen Later May 21, 2023 38:37


    Last Sunday's message reminded us of the seriousness of sin. God can see our hearts, and we must repent before the consequences of our actions come our way. Rather than trying to figure things out on our own, we must cry out to God and turn to Him. Trust Him, trust His wisdom and lean on His strength. We must forsake our sin, and cling to Christ.

    The Commitment To the King

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 30, 2023 40:04


    Last Sunday's message challenged us to re-commit ourselves to Jesus. To commit to being wholly-devoted followers of Christ, pursuing truth no matter what season of life. From Jonathan's commitment to David, we are challenged to pattern our own selves in this way. Being committed to following Jesus and being devoted to seeking Him.

    The Jealousy Of A King

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 23, 2023 36:50


    Last Sunday's focused in on jealously and how detrimental it can be in our journey of following Jesus. King Saul became jealous of God's favour upon David, and we must guard our own hearts from this mindset. We must uncover the root and cause of our own jealously, and remember that we are all free in Christ.

    The Rise Of A King

    Last Sunday's message continued our study through the life of David. As we examined his friendship with Jonathan, we are reminded of the importance and power found behind meaningful relationships in the body of Christ. God has designed us to go on this journey of following Him together, and our greatest friendships should be in the local church community.

    The Courage Of A King - Part 2

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 19, 2023 43:28


    Last Sunday's message brought us to the familiar story of David confronting Goliath. Despite the great difficulty before him, David displayed courage and declared that the "battle is the Lord's". Jesus absorbed the wrath of God in our place, and with confidence, we can face any challenge in life knowing that God is with us and the battle belongs to Him. We can overcome, because He has overcome. Any victory we experience is for His glory to be revealed in our lives.

    The Courage Of A King - Part 1

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 12, 2023 34:39


    Last Sunday's message began a two part study on the familiar, yet transformational story of David and Goliath. The greatest obstacle we may face in this journey of life is unbelief. Whether it's God revealing His will or speaking to us - it is so easy to be held back in fear and doubt. Unbelief can also cause us to cast shame on others, who may be boldly stepping into the will of God. Fear can paralyze us, but we must renew our faith in the One Who goes before us. What is causing fear in your life today? God is on your side, and as He did for David, is with you and will go before you.

    Preparation Of A King

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 5, 2023 40:32


    Our message last Sunday focused in on David's season of preparation to be the King of Israel. This season was definitely one of trying and difficulty, but God was sovereign through it all and was using every circumstance to grow David and lead him towards His purpose. The application is a question we should ask ourselves. How is God preparing you? What does He want to do and how can we give Him free rein in our hearts to have His way?

    God's Requirement For A King

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 19, 2023 37:11


    The message from last Sunday introduced us to David, and we were reminded that the Father is after our hearts. David may not have appeared as a mighty king should, but God knew His heart and had appointed Him to be the next ruler of Israel. The humble Shepherd boy was greatly used of the Lord and would play a significant part of revealing God's love and grace to the people. Man always looks on the outside, but the Father searches deeper within. He sees our hearts, and is after them.

    The Downfall Of A King

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 5, 2023 37:03


    Our time in the Word last Sunday was both challenging and thought provoking - but a reminder we desperately need. Saul, the first King of Israel, went down a dangerous path. He lived with a pattern of sin, that eventually lead to destruction. Sin will always take us farther then we want to go. The enemy wants to destroy us, but we must remember that Jesus is stronger. His death on the cross and resurrection has paid the price for all sin, and there is healing and victory available in His sacrifice. We can always return to His love and grace.

    Ready For A King

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 29, 2023 38:49


    Last Sunday we began a brand new sermon series that will go through the life of David. We begin with the Israelites longing for a king. Samuel warned the people of what would become of this, but the people were set in their ways. They wanted what they felt was best for them in the moment. The application is a reminder for us to trust in the Lord no matter where we find ourselves. Our own present desires and agenda may not always align with His, and we should seek to trust what His Word says for us.

    The Risen Life

    Guest speaker Levi Tyrell brings a meaningful challenge on stepping into the "risen life". From Colossians 3, we focus in on seeking first the Kingdom, and setting our affection on things above. Choosing to pursue Jesus and His presence in our lives - this is how God intends for us to live. Following Him and experiencing victory as we seek Him first.

    Simeon & Anna

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 1, 2023 33:41


    The final message from "King of Heaven, Come" focuses in on Simeon and Anna. Throughout this study we have been focusing in on our response to the arrival of our King. Jesus entering the human story and the Word becoming flesh. His birth ushers in hope, peace and joy - but it is not only available during the Christmas season. Our response to this should be daily, and we should walk in faithfulness and obedience to His voice. We are reminded to surrender to His will and trust His plans. Bringing an offering of worship to Him, with our very lives.

    Shepherds

    Last Sunday's message was from our Christmas Day Gathering, and we focused on the response of the Shepherds regarding the arrival and birth of King Jesus. The Shepherds received the good news and proclamation of the angels. They were anticipating the arrival of the Messiah, and received the peace and joy of this glorious news. The Shepherds then went to see baby Jesus. This is the Word made flesh, God dwelling among us - and this Christmas season we join in and behold His glory.

    Mary and Elizabeth

    For the next instalment of our Christmas series, we see Mary and Elizabeth's response of joy. They responded with joy because of what God was doing through them as they anticipated the arrival and birth of the promised Messiah. The challenge for us is simple - this Holiday season, does the news of His coming, fill you with joy? The same Holy Spirit that caused them to proclaim what God had done is the same One that fills and empowers us today. His coming invites us to partake in His joy and share it with others. We say "King of Heaven, come."

    Mary's Response

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 3, 2022 36:24


    We continue "King of Heaven, Come" by looking at Mary's response. The angel Gabriel gave Mary news that would change the course of history. His announcement was the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy centuries ago - "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Despite this feat seeming impossible, Mary believed that God had a perfect plan. Her response is one realizing God's grace in her life and believing His Word. This is a beautiful example of how our response should be when God speaks to us. We must believe that His plans are better than we could ever imagine. The Christmas story is one of Grace - God pouring our His grace and favour into the human story.

    Zacharias

    Last Sunday's message began a new Christmas series entitled "King of Heaven, come." In this study, we will be revisiting the Christmas story and pressing into the hope, peace, joy and love that this found in the birth of our Saviour. We begin with the story of Zacharias and Elizabeth. In this first instalment, we are reminded that even in the waiting, the Spirit is working. We ought to be busy doing His work, and believe that nothing is impossible with Him. Busy serving the King, with a heart of hope, expectant for what He will do.

    A Faith That Lasts

    Last Sunday's message brought our EVIDENCE series to a close. We are challenged to stand firm on the truth of God's Word and to be fill our minds with His Word. As we do so, we can walk with confidence, and with one another in boldness. Seeing the Word lived out in our lives will reveal our faith, and it is a foundation that will last.

    Consistent Spiritual Victory

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 13, 2022 35:13


    Last Sunday's message continues on the theme of experiencing victory as an evidence of our faith. Because Jesus has overcome, we can overcome. He has defeated sin and the grave - and His victory also belongs to us in Jesus Name and by the power of His Spirit working through us. Stepping into this realization can drastically change our walk, and we again are reminded to surrender to His Spirit. We are overcomes!

    A Mindset Of Victory

    Another way to prove our faith is to experience victory that is found only in Jesus Name. To do this, we are reminded to walk in the Spirit and choose to intentionally surrender to Him. We should also remember Jesus' promise to never let us face any temptation or trial we can't overcome in His strength. Because of Who Jesus is and what He's done, we can and should experience victory here and now.

    Our message from last Sunday continued on the topic of serving. The more we become like Christ - the more it will impact how we serve one another. This effect will be seen in our families, communities and local church body. We are reminded that we must return to a place of surrender, and serve for Jesus alone - a heart's place of service to Him, as King and Lord of our lives. Serving is evidence of our faith.

    Last Sunday's message began a two-part study on the topic of serving, and how this can be such a powerful way to reveal our faith. God has given us liberty, and we should seek to use it to serve Him. Not for the approval of men, but only because of our love for Jesus. When our hearts are surrendered in this way, His Spirit can work through us and glorify the Father.

    Growth

    Part 2 of EVIDENCE focuses in on spiritual growth. Our own spiritual formation is such an impactful way to prove our faith and our growth is something that can point others to Jesus. We are challenged to reevaluate the steps we are taking to experience growth.

    Evidence

    Last Sunday's message began a brand new series entitled "EVIDENCE". As we move into this new season, we ask a simple, yet meaningful question - "What does a difference-making faith look like? How can I truly show the evidence of my faith?" We will be studying through Hebrews 11 to answer this. Our first instalment lays the foundation for our study ahead as we must ensure we place and prioritize our faith in Christ alone.
