Joshua Ainsworth speaks on how the substance of love that Paul speaks about in 1 Corinthians 13 is actually the substance of the person Jesus and that as we partner with this love we don't just hold a divine tool in our hands but we take hold of His hand.
Nothing moves without prayer! Gideon talks about the power of prayer to release the purposes of God in our world. The fervent, passionate & persistent prayers of the believer have tremendous power & will accomplish much. Elijah is an excellent example of this. Every time we pray & connect with God something is released between heaven & earth. Then our lives and others' lives are enriched with the riches of another world. Prayer forges us into the future that God has destined for us…
Joshua Ainsworth speaks on what it looks like to partner with the supernaturally creative force of hope that has the ability to turn nothing into something, and something of little value into something of high value.
David Moot speaks on the power of Intercession. This topic is often mis-understood and mis-represented, this morning the truth of what it means to be an Intercessor is explored.

Duty becomes desire, discipline becomes passion as the message goes deep into the heart of prayer.
We have an opportunity in this life to partner with the same substance of faith that is in heaven right now. And when we do decide to partner with faith, our lives are redeemed and our stories are re written because faith gives us access to new life in Jesus Christ.

The source of all true beauty isnt earthly, its heavenly, its found in hanging out with Jesus. Because Jesus takes our eyes out of ourselves and He becomes all that we want and need
Jared Reason - In the culture we live in, its easy to make a lot of empty promises. When we choose to step out and obey God, life becomes a lot more fulfilling.
Murray Brightwell - Our commission is to establish the Kingdom of God on the earth. We know that Jesus defeated the enemy through the cross and His resurrection, so the victory has already been won for us. Our part therefore, is to contend for what is already ours. In the midst of this tension between knowing its been done and bringing it into our reality here on earth, one of the things we need to learn is how to rest in what Jesus has done for us. His Kingdom is one peace.
