Hear from Pastor Greg Timms as he shares his heart for the vision of Father's House Church. This Sunday service, on August 29th 2021 was a historic moment in the life of our body. We're entering into a season of "exponential growth" and excited to see what God is doing in our midst!
Listen to this message by Gbenga Olarewaju from our live stream service Sunday, 8th of August 2021. Whatever life throws at us we can know and live in God's blessings. Gbenga shares on 3 key points - "Blessed but on the run..." ; "Victorious but on the run.." & "Chosen but on the run..."

In this message from Sunday 07112021 - Jaren Barnes shares an insight into who God is as Father. You are God's child. He is not ashamed of you. He is not angry or frustrated with your progress or lack there of. He wants to be invited into the process of your growth and sanctification.
A rich and powerful message on freedom by Gbenga Olarewaju. Greater grace and higher heights in Jesus name. We are so thankful to God for the liberty we have in Christ. No more walls of separation or segregation. We can boldly approach the throne of grace to freely worship the most high God.
How do we live differently? How do we live as Christians to be God's messengers on the earth? We all have locks, we have doors and we have walls for a reason… It's for safety. It's a human nature thing. We don't trust each other and we can't believe that someone else has our best interests at heart. It's really risky to leave our doors open, or to have no locks or even no walls. Funny thing is that's how God calls us to live. To live without walls. To do things totally different from how the world does them.

In this message, Dr. Eric Montgomery invites us along on a journey to the cross as we head into Holy Week. In his message, we see the fingerprints of God throughout history as we walk through familiar passages with Jesus in His journey to the Cross. The salvation we get to experience that Jesus Christ made open to us on that Good Friday was God's plan all along from the very beginning and should increase our faith.
In this message, Pastor Denise Steyn shares that Jesus Christ is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and we get to stand firm in the authority He has given us in the face of our adversary. In Genesis, Judah played a vital role in the story of Joseph and we take a look at the correlation between that role and the role of Jesus, who is Judah’s descendent, many years later.

We pray that you are moved, encouraged and inspired by Jessica Virk's testimony and story of God pursuing her from our live service this past Sunday. God is faithful and will never give up on you, He is able to finish the work he has started in you and God is stable through every change that this life may bring... He remains!
The Baklava Diet - Finally, a diet that we can all do. This week we looked at Exodus 16 and the story of the Israelites and the lessons we can learn from this passage of scripture. God brings the Israelites out of slavery into the wilderness so that He can bring them into a land flowing with milk and honey. When God’s got a promised land that we don’t see or understand yet, and we are caught in the transition period we can always be tempted to go back to the familiar. God is saying to us and the Israelites trust me!
This past Sunday lead pastor Greg Timms shared that there is an art to ‘living present’ and being content while waiting. It is a secret that is available to us. What are we waiting for? Is life passing us by as we watch high-light moments of other people's lives?
Sometimes, within the church, the pain, loss, and disappointment we experience from a broken relationship, divorce, financial loss, losing loved ones, etc, are not always processed properly. In this video lead pastor, Greg Timms talks about the “Elephant in the Church” with regards to pain, loss, and disappointment and how we can be better as the church in processing it.

God’s wisdom is a gift that is freely available to anyone who desires it. Gaining His perspective and applying the knowledge and principles of the Bible to our lives creates an opportunity for us to experience breakthrough and see His Kingdom come like never before. “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” - James 1:5 NIV

God is wanting to breathe hope into our lives when it seems like there is no hope. As Peter walked out onto the water, we learn that keeping our gaze fixed on Jesus is the only way. We see the impossible made possible as we step out in faith and allow Him to take hold of us when we feel ourselves slipping into fear. Christ is our living hope and its Christ in us the hope of glory.

We all want to hear that God knows us, sees us and that He has a plan for our lives. Encouragement is something we can feel and it shouldn’t be an occasional experience, it should be a lifestyle, a belief system. God’s language is encouragement and often we read that God shows up and says “Fear not, be of good courage”. Learning to speak a new language isn’t natural at the beginning but we need to be intentional and embrace a culture of encouragement.

In these unprecedented times of uncertainty and disruption to our normal life, it is not enough to stick to our status quo. Instead, God is calling us to go deeper in our knowledge of His purpose for us, so we can strengthen the foundation upon which we live. Take heart, He (Jesus) has overcome the world! His truth anchors us and will see us through these days and the days ahead!

How do we make God’s word breaking news, make it become our everyday news and make it become our lifestyle? Can you imagine how different life would look if every single day we pick up God’s word with passion, intensity, and urgency? Jesus invites us to see life the way that He sees it. Inviting us into the Kingdom which is righteousness, peace, and joy. The moment we become fearful is the moment that we start to partner with lies that God’s love has ended, that it can’t reach us, it can’t see us and it can’t make a difference in our situation. The thief comes to steal and destroy, Jesus came to give us life in all it’s fullness!
