Oasis Church

The Spirit of God will use the word of God to transform the child of God. 1 Corinthians 2:12-13. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. Simon is the Pastor of Life Community Church in Rochford, Essex.

In the second of our preaching series: "Creation to Christ", Lawrence takes us from the Fall to the Glory.

We launch a new preaching series ‘Creation to Christ' exploring how the conversation from Luke 24 between Jesus and the two disciples on the road to Emmaus may have gone which caused them to express :- “were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road…”

The River welcomes the Right Reverend Bishop Adam Atkinson to share with us a timely message about friendship with Jesus from John 21:1-14.

Do you want to be equipped in bringing Heaven to Earth? To learn more about your Supernatural identity as a dearly loved child of God? To connect and build relationships with others? This training session utilises the STOP; LOOK; LISTEN and GO approach to evangelism.

Every time your heart tries to have faith your mind will try to make sense? The two will often be in contradiction. Alan uses the story of Mary and the jar of Nard to try to make sense of sacrifice. Perhaps we should call it 'Opportunity'?We owe Jesus everything ...

Andy helps us to see that spiritual disciplines are His grace to us to help us see him and connect with him (Bible references Phil 4:9 and 1 Tim 4:7-8)

on Easter Sunday, Martin talks about how we are loved by God and how Jesus invites us to be His apprentices and do life with Him.

Christianity is deeply personal but it should never be self centred. Pete challenges 2000 years of Greek-western thinking which seeks to convince us that ‘I' am more important than ‘we'.

Ruth considers the discipline of serving as an overflow from a heart of love & worship.The healthy diet of a disciple is a spirit led, bespoke mix of:Personal With OthersPrayer GenerosityFasting WorshipStudy (of God's Word) Celebration (feasting)Meditation ConfessionSolitude FellowshipSilence WitnessingSimplicity Serving

Remember you will only hear what is spoken directly into the mic.

In this sermon Nathan talks about the biblical context for sacrifice and the real cost of taking up your cross in day to day life.

It has always been God's desire to dwell with his people. The Holy Spirit within us makes our hearts His dwelling place.

Remember, you will only hear what is spoken into the microphone. Any comments from the room will not be picked up.

This quote from Kathryn Kuhlman echoes Eph 4:30, but what does it mean and why is it relevant to us today?

Jesus believes in the work He did on the cross for us. Staying free in Him is worth it.

Is Jesus your Lord? Have you lost your life, your everything, in order to find it in Him? Ruth challenges us to an all-in Peter style level of discipleship.

Following Alan's message last week on Luke 5, Pete applies the message to us as local church by sharing vision for our next steps.

Speaking from Luke 5:1-11 Alan describes the revelation of this well-known scripture. A miraculous catch of fish caused Simon Peter and his fishing partners to leave their way of life to follow Him. Can He use YOUR boat?

In this season of gear change & upgrade, Ruth encourages us to engage with the oil of Holy Spirit for a smooth transition into increased anointing, healing & joy.

Pete kicks off the new year by unpacking our value for spiritual disciplines and invites us as a church to incorporate ‘fasting' alongside prayer into our spiritual practice this week.

Week 4 of our December's disciples series. Pete brings valuable observations from St John the beloved's gospel including the 7 ‘I am' statements of Jesus.

Judi brings insight to the book of Luke.

A fun time with audience participation.

Ruth speaks from Mark 1 encouraging us to receive the best gift of all this Christmas & be baptised in the Holy Spirit.

Eyes down for a full house - Jesus is the head of a long list of famous ancestors. Join the list too, as one of His descendants! Just as importantly, prophecy lifts our eyes up, just like the wise men and the star - all eyes on Jesus! And not just for Christmas - He's coming back again! 

Christ did not set us free just to escape something, but toembrace Someone. He didn't just free us from sin—He freed us to love, to serve, to worship, to live.Don't settle for half of God's gift. Freedom from iswonderful—but freedom to is where the abundant life truly begins.

We would like to avoid trials but this is how we grow. If we treat them right Jesus starts to show in our lives (Gal 4:19) and makes bad things good by conforming us to Christ (Rom 8:28-29)Anyone interested going deeper in the book of Romans - a great resource is Romans for you by Tim Keller (2 books)

Immersion in Jesus' baptism is the beginning, but what happens next in Jesus' life and how does this reinforce the same message our being dearlyloved sons and daughters?

Our visiting speaker, Neil Thompson teaches us that the life of God flows from his presence. As we learn to practice a constant awareness of God's presence in our everyday lives we can see rivers of life flowing out from us to the world around us. How can we do that in today's distracted world?

Pete sets the scene for our six, no - seven baptisms.

Our good friend Rob Purnell, from New Life Church Crouch Valley Wickford encouraged us with a word about remaining in the vine.

In our Disciples Assemble sessions Lawrence and Esther are helping us focus on the gift of prophecy.This recording is of the microphone only, so questions and comments from the floor will not be heard.

What's the difference between pursuing 'ideals' and those 'ideals' becoming 'idols' in our lives?

He has called us friends. Jesus invites us to a higher level of friendship with Him and pthers which will ultimately change the world!

Through personal testimony, Pete challenges us to consider if we have an appetite for transformation.

Lawrence and Esther launch our series of training on the prophetic.

In our Disciples Assemble sessions Lawrence and Esther are helping us focus on the gift of prophesy.This recoding is of the microphone only, so questions and comments from the floor will not be heard.

In our busy noisy lives Jesus calls us to find him in silence. The Father is there waiting for us in secret if we will just give him our attention. Augustine said to enter into silence is to enter into joy. Andy invites us to give it a try ...

Pete poses the question - does God really have a value for these things? And does he really play with crocodiles?! Listen as we unpack part 7 of our 10 part series

Comparison is the thief of joy and creativity. Nathan helps us to see ourselves through Jesus' eyes, using and walking in our own gifts and calling as we are created by the creator to be creative. We are gifted with gifts to those around us. We are all unique and have something significant to bring to please God, rather than to please those around us.

Lawrence reminds us that faith is the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
