Conner reminds us that while our hearts can be easily swayed by the world's distractions and instant gratification, God invites us to seek His face first. As we intentionally "clothe ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ," He transforms our hearts, strengthens our discernment, and produces the fruit of the Spirit, enabling us to walk in obedience and experience His best for our lives.

Conner Bible Reading:“… Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.” (Romans 13:14, NIV)My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek.” (Psalm 27:8, NIV) Every day, all day long, we face one decision after another. Sometimes these choices are practical: What do I need from the grocery store? Or how much money should I pay off on the credit card? But other times, the dilemma is a matter of the heart – a tug-of-war between what I should do and what I want to do. Even more seriously, a decision between what we know to be right and what our conscience tells us is wrong. When choosing between what we think we want and what the Lord desires as his best for us, the struggle can be REAL. The allure of the world is powerful. Especially in this modern, technology-driven era, where even our devices are labeled with the pronoun “I,” the pull of selfishness and self-focus is strong, to say the least. The phones in our hands provide us with constant access to commercialism and propaganda that suggest it's all about me and that I should have or do anything I want simply because it is available or sounds appealing. And though we may logically identify the potential pitfalls in these scenarios, when our emotions or sinful desires kick in, the waters of clarity can be quickly muddied. The Bible says, “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? (Jer. 17:9, NIV). Do you agree? I certainly do. There have been many times in my life when I rationalized or justified decisions without even realizing what I was doing, only to come out on the other side, shocked that I had made such a choice. Why? Because my own heart deceived me. Paul, in his letter to the Romans, shares a similar sentiment when he states, “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God (Rom. 3:10-12, NIV). Even when we are trying to walk with the Lord, it is so easy to choose what we want rather than to intentionally seek God’s will first and then wait upon him for direction. We are terrible at waiting, aren’t we? We want our entertainment instantaneously, our food fast, and our products delivered to our doorstep the same day we order them. Though the world around us can move at breakneck speeds, the Lord often calls us to be still and know that he is God (Ps. 46:10). To trust in him for direction and discernment. He calls us to look to him rather than our own flawed perceptions. If we are willing to run to him before grasping for self-satisfaction, we “clothe ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ,” which will then produce his godly fruits such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-5:23). Left to our own devices and relying on our own strength can often lead us down paths we would ultimately prefer not to take. But if we choose to seek him before everything else, he promises that he will respond and provide us with all that we need. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8, NIV) If you, like me, struggle to choose God’s best over your own selfish desires, I pray today is a new day for both of us. A day where we cry out as the psalmist of old did so many years ago and declare: My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek.” (Psalm 27:8, NIV) Let’s believe together that he is faithful to fulfill all of his promises, and when we call upon him, he will answer. And no matter how loudly the clamor of this world tries to overshadow our minds and hearts, may we surrender our wills to the only One who can offer us true peace and satisfaction. May we clothe ourselves in Christ. Intersecting Faith & Life: Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your own heart deceived you? If so, are you able to look back and identify where you struggled to let God influence your decision-making? How might you better approach these types of crossroads in the future? I encourage you to take some time today to write out the steps you will take the next time you face similar circumstances. Perhaps your action items might include reciting scripture, calling a friend for prayer, or simply waiting a day or two before making a final decision. Whatever that looks like for you individually, I pray you find peace and guidance as you seek God’s best for you.

Maintaining the House of God - Ps Joy Graetz - 2nd of August 2026 by Cornerstone Christian Church

What should you do when you are waiting on God to move? How can you prepare spiritually for the next season of your life, family, or church? In this powerful message from Friday Night at Accelerate, guest speaker James Griffin teaches from Acts 1:12–26 and shows how the first followers of Jesus prepared for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Instead of wasting their season of waiting, they devoted themselves to prayer, reached for the Word of God, walked in obedience, and made themselves available for whatever Jesus wanted to do next. If you have been praying for God to restore a marriage, heal a relationship, bring a prodigal home, break an addiction, open a door, or move powerfully in your church, this sermon will help you understand what faithfulness looks like while you wait. James explains why prayer must become our first response rather than our last resort, why knowing Scripture is not the same as obeying Scripture, and why Christian obedience should flow from the gospel rather than guilt, fear, or an attempt to manipulate God. You will also discover what the story of Matthias teaches us about being found ready, living with a heart fully set on Jesus, and choosing faithfulness over recognition. God does not need you to have everything figured out. He is looking for people who will put their yes on the table, pursue His presence, surrender every part of their lives to the lordship of Jesus, and obey what He has already said. God is not finished. The question is, when He looks for someone to use, will He find you ready?   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today? We would love to connect with you.

The greatest strength of a believer is not self-confidence but God-dependence. Forgive freely, fight faithfully, and be filled with the Holy Spirit—because every great calling ultimately ends with one prayer: “So help me, God.”

But GOD - Ps Amber Slater 19/07/2026 by

.

“A generation that did not set its heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful to God” (Ps 78:8).

We all must decide whether it will trust our own strength or if our Help comes from our God. The future belongs to those who forgive freely, fight faithfully, and live continually filled with the Helper.

Walking with God - Ps Alun Davies 19/06/2026 by

You were not created to live with a spirit of timidity or confusion; God designed you to walk in power, love, and self-discipline as His child. Your identity is not defined by the world, but by the fact that you were chosen in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless. Heaven's plan has always been for you to walk in the fullness of your inheritance as a son. In this message, we explore: 1. THE DIVINE CALLING Jesus came to seek and to save the lost, inviting us into a relationship where we are known, loved, and fully free. 2. ROOTED IN THE FATHER'S LOVE You are designed to be established in love, experiencing the glorious power of the Spirit in your inner being so that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith. 3. THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE True spiritual awakening begins by realizing that Jesus is the only way to the Father, and in Him, you find the purpose you were created for. 4. BEARING FRUIT AS A SON As you remain in Him, you are enabled to live a life of faith and spirituality that produces lasting fruit and brings glory to the Father. 5. SEEKING THE KINGDOM FIRST When you prioritize God's Kingdom and His righteousness, you unlock the promise that all other things will be provided for you. Receive today: 1. CLARITY in your god realization and your identity as a beloved child of God. 2. STRENGTH to overcome the challenges of your faithfully journey through the joy of the Lord. 3. WISDOM as you learn how to grow spiritually closer to God and read the word of God daily. HOPE for your future, anchored in the plans He has to prosper you and give you a future. 4. FREEDOM from your past, knowing that whom the Son sets free is free indeed. You are not alone. You are a child of the Living God. As you pursue these keys to spiritual growth, may you experience the biblical wisdom necessary to walk in your true identity and become a testimony of His love in this generation. #empowerchurch #gebhardtberndt #mindset #identity #spiritualgrowth #wisdom

Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain? The one whose walk is blameless…Whoever does these things will never be shaken (Psalm 15:1,2,5). Psalm 15 is a 'worker's' song. There are others in the Bible, all containing experiences of people living their lives much like we do. They help us pray not as detached spiritual beings but real physical people interacting with ordinary humans straining to live in this chaotic world. This song recognizes that interacting with other humans gets us caught up in things that are not holy. Frequently, we make decisions, that with hindsight, don't measure up to the high standards God's people desire for themselves. We are reminded that we ought to examine our daily work before we go to worship God. Are our hands clean? Have we earned our income honestly? Have we given our best effort? Have we harmed people in the process? On the surface, Psalm 15 might disqualify all of us from actual worship. But that is not the case. Scripture interprets scripture and God has already laid out what we should do when we realize our actions and words have not measured up. Leviticus 5:5 sums it up, "They must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering". Jesus echoes these instructions in Matthew 5:23-24. He doesn't mention the matter of adding "a fifth." Rather, he tells us to go and be reconciled. We need to be willing to make matters right. These passages teach that repentance is not just a matter between us and God. We cannot be clean before God if we do not make amends with those we have hurt or offended. To climb God's holy mountain and dwell in the Lord's house of worship is a profound blessing, for "it is good to be near God" (Ps. 73:28). The Psalms push us to reckon with our workplace behavior both before and within worship. To glibly reply, "Well, Jesus paid it all, so I'm good now," is to fail to wrestle with our guilt and release the guilt that should haunt us during communal worship. The phrase, "work is worship", is right. Yet, it is also true that only when we bring our work into the sanctuary and only when we learn how to work while at worship does our work get shaped into a gift that honours God. So, wherever God brings you this week, prepare already today, to bring yourself as a gift to him in worship next weekend. As you journey on, go with the blessing of God: Wherever God takes you this week, may He fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit and that you may live carefully—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.

Sunday Sermon 7th June 2026Walking with God requires agreeing with what He has spoken. In this message, we are reminded that hearing the Word is not enough. The Word must be believed, received, and lived out for it to produce fruit in our lives.Through passages like John 17, Amos 3:3, 2 Corinthians 5:17, 2 Corinthians 5:21, and Romans 5:17, this sermon calls believers to align their thoughts, words, and identity with God's truth. In Christ, we are new creations, made righteous, filled with His life, and given authority to reign over circumstances instead of living as victims under them.The challenge is clear: stop agreeing with fear, guilt, sickness, lack, and the accusations of the enemy. Agree with God, receive His Word, and walk in the life, peace, authority, and righteousness He has already given.Stay connected!Website: https://www.harvestnowchurch.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/HarvestNowChurchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/harvestnowchurch_/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@harvestnowchurchTwitter: https://twitter.com/harvest_now_Sermon Audio: Harvest Now Church (Spotify, Apple Music etc.)Podcast: Harvest Now Conversations (Spotify, Apple Music etc.)

Pastor Andrew brings a challenging word from the story of Cain and Abel

Sit quietly with grace, and let it work its slow, substantial change. Nothing is more common for those whose hearts have been divinely warmed than to pledge themselves to new, exacting duties. We'll read our Bibles for an hour each day; pray for all our friends and even for some enemies; tell “unconverted” colleagues, neighbors—even strangers—of their task to do as we have done. We move at hyper-speed as if to make up for the months—the years—when we ourselves were unresponsive to the gospel. But what we need—and what our friends and enemies much need—is that we answer the first call of grace: “Be still, and know that I am God” (Ps 46:10). Our rush to vow new righteous duties, work new holy deeds, and tell what we have only started to experience is often just another act of foolish self-atonement. Heaven wisely urges us to quiet. “This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: ‘Only in returning to Me and resting in Me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength'” (Isa 30:15-16). Grace received always grows into grace well-lived. But beware of pledging your good deeds until you've more fully learned all that the Lord has kindly done for you. And stay in grace. -Bill Knott

Can you tell time?  Most people can look at a watch or clock or digital number that keeps track of time and know what time it is.  Yet, do you know what time it is?  Jesus, our Redeemer, the Savior of the World, knows how to tell time.  

What if generosity isn't about giving more… but about trusting that you already have enough?In this message from The Generosity of God series, Ps Sue Irwin explores how generosity flows from who God is, not just what we do. It's not a nice extra for Christians, it's a core part of how God's kingdom works.Through honest reflection and powerful real-life stories, this message challenges the way we think about generosity. It's not just about money. It's in our words, our time, our thoughts, and how we treat people, especially when there's nothing in it for us.At the heart of it is a simple but confronting truth: we hold back because we're afraid there won't be enough. But when we begin to truly rest in God's love and provision, generosity becomes natural.If you've ever felt stretched, guarded, or unsure how to give, this message will help you reset your perspective and take a step forward.Take a moment to listen, reflect, and let God reshape how you live and give.

Sunday's message will explore further Jesus' teaching through the Parable of the Sower.  We know the Sower is good!  We know the seed the Sower sows is good!  But what makes for good soil? 

Post Easter Postscript: The Kingdom of God is like... a Good Sower, sowing Good Seed, into Good Soil.  You have to wonder what the disciples were talking about after Jesus resurrection.  When Jesus was spending time with the disciples after his resurrection, what did they talk about?

Ps. Samuel contiunes on Bursting forth series

The Lord’s Supper is not a mere ritual. Nor is it empty symbolism. It’s the “Gospel made visible,” as Gerhardus Vos once said. Consider these six elements: (1) The Lord's Supper proclaims the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 11:24-25); (2) it is given for our spiritual nourishment and growth and grace (John 6:35, 57); (3) it confirms our union and communion with Christ (John 15:4); (4) it renews our thankfulness and our commitment to God (Ps. 50:14); (5) it declares our love and fellowship with one another (1 Cor. 10:17); and; (6) it points us to the Second Coming of Christ (1 Cor. 11:26).

In our modern world of online “social” networking, we are in some ways more connected to one another today than ever before in human history. Yet the reported rates of loneliness are at an all time high: 60% amongst Gen X, 65% for Millennials, and as many as 67% of Gen Z report feeling lonely “often” (Cigna, 2025). Where can we turn for real connection? First, we go to God (Ps 73:23). But second, we turn to - and fold into - God's people, the Church, His prescription for our loneliness. We invite you to do just that during this sermon, and join us as we discover how “God's Community is the Cure for the World's Disconnection”.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/121625.cfmIn today's homily, Fr. David Gunter, MIC, draws us into the prophetic urgency of Zephaniah and the hope that follows divine correction. Speaking to a time of widespread apostasy and moral confusion, the prophet confronts a people seduced by false worship and corrupt leadership. Yet Zephaniah does not end with judgment. He announces restoration.Scripture reminds us that God never abandons His people:“But I will leave within you    the meek and humble.The remnant of Israel    will trust in the name of the Lord.” (Zeph 3:12).Throughout salvation history, the Lord preserves a faithful remnant — not the proud or powerful, but those supple to grace. Saint Paul echoes this truth when recalling Elijah's despair: “So also at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace” (Rom 11:5). Advent places this message squarely before us. The birth of Christ sets the restoration of humanity in motion — for Israel and the Gentiles alike.Father Gunter challenges us to recognize that we are living in a new season of preparation, one that calls for silence, repentance, and humility rather than distraction and noise. Those who recognized the Messiah — Anna, Simeon, Joseph, Elizabeth, and above all the Blessed Virgin Mary — were humble souls formed by prayer and trust. The same humility is required of us today. As the psalmist declares, “God alone is my rock and salvation… my refuge is in God” (Ps 62:7a & 8c). This Advent, the question is not whether God is offering grace — He is — but whether we are prepared to receive it. Through Confession, prayer, and fidelity, let us become the remnant ready for Christ to be born anew in our hearts.Advent places this message squarely before us. The birth of Christ sets the restoration of humanity in motion — for Israel and the Gentiles alike. ★ Support this podcast ★
