What does it look like to build a spiritually healthy life?In Week 2 of our HEALTHY sermon series, Pastor Dan shares from Acts 2:42–47, where the early church is described with one powerful phrase: “They devoted themselves…”Healthy disciples don't drift into spiritual maturity. They intentionally build their lives around rhythms that keep forming them into the likeness of Jesus.In this message we explore the importance of Scripture, prayer, worship, Christian community, generosity and everyday discipleship, and ask a simple but challenging question:What is shaping the person I am becoming?Big Idea: Healthy disciples intentionally build their lives around rhythms that continually form them into the likeness of Jesus.In this message:What Acts 2 teaches us about healthy discipleshipWhy spiritual growth requires intentionalityHow daily habits shape our faithBuilding a consistent Bible-reading and prayer lifeThe importance of Christian community and fellowshipHow spiritual disciplines help us become more like JesusWhy healthy disciples become generous and missionalMoving from powerful encounters with God to a devoted lifestyleKey Passage: Acts 2:42–47Series: HEALTHY — Healthy Disciples. Healthy Church. Lasting Fruit.If you want to grow in your relationship with Jesus, develop healthy spiritual habits, understand Christian discipleship more deeply, or build your life around God's Word, prayer and community, we pray this message encourages and challenges you.

What if the thing you keep asking God to remove is the very thing He intends you to conquer?Preaching from 2 Samuel 23:20 at the 2026 Sydney Conference, Pastor Dan Stephen looks at Benaiah, one of David's mighty men, who didn't run when he found a lion in a pit. He went after it.This message is a challenge to reject spiritual passivity, confront the battles standing between you and your calling, and recover an aggressive confidence in what God can do.There will always be adversaries when God opens a door. The question is whether we retreat from the lion or chase it.In this sermon: Why difficulty is often connected to destiny The difference between self-confidence and God-confidence How passivity quietly buries calling Why discipleship keeps your spiritual edge What happens when believers attempt something bigger than themselves How a few courageous decisions can completely change your future Scripture: 2 Samuel 23:20 Message: Chase the Lion Speaker: Pastor Dan Stephen Event: 2026 Sydney Bible ConferenceIf this message challenged you, share it with someone who needs to stop retreating and start moving forward.CHAPTERS00:00 Chasing Lions: The Call to Action02:21 We Are a Lion-Chasing Fellowship04:44 Destiny Comes Through Difficulty07:08 Benaiah Chases the Lion09:36 Stop Being Hunted.

Dan takes us to Galatians 4 where Paul highlights what it means to be a son or daughter of God.

What does it mean to be a spiritually healthy Christian?In Week 1 of our new sermon series HEALTHY, Pastor Dan shares from John 15:1–11, where Jesus gives one of His clearest invitations to discipleship: “Remain in me.”Before we focus on doing more, serving more, growing more or achieving more, Jesus calls us to stay deeply connected to Him. In this message we explore what it means to abide in Christ, how spiritual fruit is produced, why God prunes us, and how our relationship with Jesus becomes the foundation for a healthy Christian life.Big Idea: Healthy disciples are deeply connected to Jesus, because lasting fruit only comes from abiding in Him.In this message:What it means to remain in JesusHow to grow spiritually as a ChristianThe meaning of the vine and branches in John 15Why God prunes usHow spiritual fruit developsThe importance of dependence on JesusBuilding a healthy relationship with GodKey Passage: John 15:1–11Series: HEALTHY — Healthy Disciples. Healthy Church. Lasting Fruit.If you are looking for encouragement in your Christian faith, spiritual growth, discipleship, or a deeper relationship with Jesus, we pray this message encourages and challenges you.

There is more that God has ahead of us! This Father's Day, Ps Dan encourages us to engage in a transformation journey with Christ. His presence precedes us, His presence is with us and His power fills us.

In the final message of our Kingdom Stories series, Pastor Dan explores the Parable of the Ten Virgins from Matthew 25:1–13 and asks one final, searching question:Are you ready for the King?Jesus tells the story of ten young women waiting for the bridegroom. All ten knew he was coming, all ten had lamps, and all ten were waiting—but only five were ready when he arrived.In this message, we explore:why looking ready is not the same as being readywhy relationship with Jesus cannot be borrowed from someone elsehow waiting reveals the reality of our faithwhy the return of Jesus should produce hope, not fearwhat it looks like to live faithfully, expectantly and with eternity in viewhow to keep the flame burning while we wait for the KingBig Idea: Kingdom people live ready for Jesus—not in fear, but in faithful, expectant relationship with Him.

What is the Gospel according to the New Testament?? Ps Dan unpacks scripture to find out the truth of the Good News.

Jesus is our source, nothing else can sustain us the way He can! This week, we wrap up our series ‘Lessons in the Wilderness' with a special Q&A from our panel as we hear their stories about God's provision during their wilderness seasons.

In Jesus we are a new creation! The old is gone and the new has come! Pastor Dan speaks in week 3 of our Keeping Up with the Corinthians Series. This week focusing on the idea "Stop playing for Team Corinth"

In Week 5 of our Kingdom Stories series, Pastor Dan explores the Parable of the Talents from Matthew 25:14–30 and asks a simple but challenging question:What am I doing with what God has entrusted to me?Jesus tells the story of a master who gives different amounts to his servants and later returns to see how they have used what was placed in their hands. The focus is not comparison, success or status—it is faithfulness.In this message, we explore:why everything we have is ultimately entrusted to us by Godhow comparison can distract us from our own callingwhy fear can cause us to bury what God has given uswhat it means to be faithful with both little and muchhow our view of God shapes the way we serve Himwhy the words we should long to hear are: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”Big Idea: God is not asking us to compare what we have been given; He is asking us to faithfully use what He has entrusted to us.

Llegamos al cierre de esta serie recorriendo 1 Tesalonicenses y descubriendo las huellas de una fe auténtica. En este último mensaje veremos cómo luce una iglesia que espera verdaderamente a Cristo: una iglesia que se cuida mutuamente, vive orientada hacia Dios, permanece abierta al Espíritu Santo y toma en serio la verdad. Una comunidad que confía en que Dios terminará la obra que comenzó en ella y permite que Su gracia circule entre todos.Este mensaje es una invitación a mirar nuestra propia vida y preguntarnos: ¿somos la iglesia que Cristo quiere encontrar cuando Él vuelva? Que este cierre no sea solamente el final de una serie, sino el comienzo de una manera más profunda y auténtica de vivir nuestra fe.Te invitamos a:

What do we do when the promise isn't here yet? This week, Ps Dan continues our series ‘Lessons in the Wilderness' as he reminds us that how we reach the promise matters just as much as the promise does. God will use the wilderness for our transformation, these seasons are not just for waiting but rather for formation.

People will get on your nerves. They will misunderstand you, disappoint you, irritate you, and sometimes flat-out offend you.The question is: what happens inside YOUR heart when they do?Preaching from Romans 15:5, this message challenges Christians to take a spiritual “fit check.” Scripture calls us to clothe ourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, patience, forgiveness, and love. When those things disappear, our relationships aren't the only thing that suffers. Our effectiveness for God suffers too.Unity does not mean everybody has the same personality or never disagrees. It means we refuse to let offense, pride, insecurity, competition, and bitterness destroy what God is trying to accomplish through His people.In this message: Why your relationships reveal what's happening spiritually How offense can slowly change your heart Why talented people can still destroy team chemistry The connection between unity and spiritual strength How correction keeps us spiritually “in tune” Why sometimes you simply have to be the bigger personChapters00:00 - Warm greeting and report from New Zealand churches00:31 - Raratonga missionary church launched with strong turnout00:59 - Honoring the faith of earlier leaders and turning to Romans 1501:24 - Airport lounge dress code story sets up the sermon theme02:33 - Inner “fit check” versus outward appearance03:01 - Romans 15:5 and the call to live in harmony03:21 - Marriage feast parable and the wrong garment05:00 - God notices what is on the inside06:22 - “Fitting for followers of Christ” means suitable for our calling07:23 - Police conduct and what unbecoming behavior looks like for disciples08:24 - Disunity in church relationships as a fit check failure09:21 - Power adapter illustration and why connection affects spiritual power10:48 - Rehoboam, leadership, and the danger of not serving people well11:39 - Philippians 4 and the call for brothers and sisters to agree in harmony12:38 - Clothing ourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, patience, and forgiveness14:44 - Unity matters because the church is an army at war15:53 - Why God will not bless a church that is not united16:22 - Connect with God first when relationships get strained17:47 - Patience under pressure and learning to endure without breaking18:16 - Spiritual conductors and the need for correction20:21 - Philippians 2 and being of one mind, one love, one purpose20:53 - World Cup and football chemistry as an image of teamwork23:20 - Redwood trees and strength through interconnection25:12 - The Boys in the Boat and success through unison28:02 - Psalm 133, Acts 2, and God commanding blessing in unity29:01 - Salvation call and invitation to get right with God30:27 - Challenge to the church to stay team players and pass the fit check34:01 - Personal testimony about becoming more easily agitated over time35:25 - Warning to never stop being the bigger man36:13 - Closing prayer for mercy, humility, forgiveness, and graceNotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you:https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Some doors look obvious. Others look locked.In this message, Pastor Dan Rubianes preaches from 1 Corinthians 16:8-9 and shows how God opens “great and effective” doors, even when fear, resistance, jealousy, and spiritual opposition are waiting on the other side.Drawing from powerful stories in India, ministry, and personal calling, this sermon will challenge you to stop standing in front of the door God opened and actually walk through it.If you've been battling intimidation, delay, doubt, or the feeling that life keeps shutting you out, this message is for you. God still opens doors. But sometimes you have to pray, push, and step through by faith.Chapters00:00 Opening Doors: A New Chapter Begins02:19 The Power of Open Doors05:09 Facing Adversaries: Fear, Jealousy, and Doubt11:19 Seizing Opportunities: Waiting on God24:11 Pushing Through: The Fight for Open Doors38:38 Walking Through: The Journey of FaithShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!
