Life Point Sunday Gathering | Danny Rivers | One Hit Wonder | The Practice of Generosity by Life Point SA

In this Sunday Gathering sermon, Emily Perry draws inspiration from Frederick Douglass' powerful 1852 speech “What, to the Slave, is the Fourth of July?” to examine the gap between the high ideals of faith and the painful realities we see around us. Through stories of figures like Maximilian Kolbe, Martin Luther King Jr., and her own personal experiences, Emily explores how A Course in Miracles offers a new vision of faith—one that is not blind or hollow, but grounded in love, equality, and trust in each other's holiness. You'll learn: Why the Course teaches that God has perfect faith in you How we misplace our faith—and how to redirect it toward healing What it means to place faith in others and call forth their true nature How faith can become a living force for compassion, courage, and transformation If you've ever struggled with the concept of faith or wondered what it truly means on the spiritual path, this message is a call to embody the world we long to see. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Testimonies & A Heart for the Word | Brad Joss | Paradox Church Sunday Gathering

In today's message, our guest speaker, Andy, shares a powerful and practical word about growth, love, and what it looks like to be a flourishing church community right here in our estate. Using a personal story about his attempt to grow a "beautiful manicured hedge", Andy draws a vivid analogy for our life as a church. He shares how his hedge was attacked by caterpillars that began to destroy the plants. The only solution was to prune them back severely—a process that looked like a "genuine massacre" but was essential for saving the plant and allowing new, healthy life to emerge. Andy connects this to God's plan for our church. God, the master gardener , wants us to be a vibrant, fruit-bearing expression of His kingdom here in Jordanthorpe. Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches. Just as Andy had to remove the pests from his hedge, the Father sometimes needs to prune our lives and our church.This "pruning" can feel like a painful loss or a difficult change, but it's His way of dealing with the "caterpillars" of unforgiveness, jealousy, or unresolved hurt to bring about healthier and more fruitful growth. The key to navigating this process is found in Jesus's repeated command to "love one another". This love is the glue that holds us together through change. Andy challenges us to ensure our connection to Jesus, the vine, is a vital, love-based relationship, not one based on duty. When we are truly connected to Him, His life flows through us, and we can't help but bear fruit together. This encouraging message calls us to see change not as something to fear, but as a good thing from the ultimate gardener. It's a call to allow Him to work in our hearts, to submit to His pruning, and to commit to loving each other, so that we can become the healthy, thriving church He has planned for us to be.

In the first century, the believers were rumored to be cannibals ("they eat flesh and drink blood"), atheists ("they don't believe in the gods"), and traitors ("they deny Caesar is Lord"). They were under immense societal pressure to recant their belief in the Jesus as Lord. Into that pressure and difficulty, the Lord met the apostle John in a vision designed to remind the Church that the King was always with them, that he never gave up (setting them an example to follow), and he would be returning to renew all things! With these truths firmly fixed in mind, the Church could patiently endure hardship and suffering.

Seen: When Jesus Meets You Where You Are Ever feel like you're completely unseen? Like you're wrestling with things on your own and no one gets it? Or maybe you feel like you're just another face in the crowd, hoping to be noticed. In this talk, Nick takes us to a hot, dusty afternoon in Galilee and a story about a man named Nathanael. Nathanael is cynical and sitting alone under a fig tree, wrestling with his own doubts and questions. He's probably thinking what many of us think: can anything good really happen here? But then something incredible happens. Jesus sees him. Not just a quick glance, but He sees right into Nathanael's heart. He lets him know, "I saw you in your private moment, I know what you're about, and I'm calling you." This is the heart of Nick's message: You have a "fig tree" – a private place where you deal with your failures, your shame, and your worries. The amazing truth is that Jesus sees you there. He knows you completely, not the polished version you put on social media, but the real you. And He doesn't turn away. His love is a relentless, powerful force that pushes through all our "buts" and objections, lifting us up when we feel we're crashing down Being seen by Him changes everything. It's not about joining a movement; it's about a personal encounter with the God who sees you, knows you by name, and says, "Come, follow me. You think this is amazing? You will see even greater things." Bible References Used Here is a list of the Bible passages that Nick referred to during his sermon: John 1:43-51: This was the main passage for the sermon, telling the story of Jesus calling Philip and Nathanael. Genesis 28:10-19: Referenced when Nick talked about Jacob's dream of a ladder to heaven, which Jesus compares himself to. Revelation 1:14 & 19:12: Alluded to when describing Jesus having "eyes like burning fire," seeing into the heart of who we are. Hebrews 10:25: The principle of this verse was mentioned as an encouragement to not give up meeting together as a church.

Those who have chosen to follow the King and who desire his will and ways to be realized have now been "called out" from this world. We remain in the world, but we're no longer "of" the world – we belong to God's kingdom and are under the rule of our marvelous, self-sacrificing King Jesus. the name of this group of people is the Church (from the Greek word meaning "called out ones"). What is our mission? Where do we receive our power to accomplish it? Where do we practice this mission?

Heart Matters - Taming The Tongue Part 2 | Aimee Talbot | Paradox Church Sunday Gathering

Due to a recording error, the video live stream of the Sunday Gathering is unavailable. The sermon audio is available above. Psalm 102

Just as we concluded last week that entrance into Jesus' kingdom doesn't come without our death (to ourselves and to sin), so this week we'll look at the events leading up to Jesus' Passion (suffering). Did you know that all four gospels each devote at least a third of their account to the final week of Jesus' early ministry? There is no kingdom entrance for us without his Cross. While most kings consolidate their power and seek to protect themselves, we'll see how Jesus relinquished his power and showed us what a radically different King he is than any other we've ever known.

For livestream go to https://www.youtube.com/live/xnJg-a_tgCkWe saw last week that the Son was God's beloved Word and Deliverer after the 400 years of "silence." Today, we'll see how he was the perfect King that Israel needed. Unlike the kingdom in the Old Testament, where many kings merely did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, Jesus was the perfect King who announced, demonstrated, and described God's perfect kingdom. And then he ruled it full of grace and truth. He's the King our hearts are genuinely longing for, and we find ourselves most satisfied and delighted when we live with Him as our King.

What does it mean to choose joy in a world that feels anything but joyful? In this Sunday Gathering message, Emily Perry explores the practice of claiming joy not as escapism, but as a spiritual act of defiance against fear, suffering, and ego-based narratives. Drawing from A Course in Miracles and the legacy of great nonviolent movements—from Fannie Lou Hamer to Viktor Frankl to Dietrich Bonhoeffer—Emily shares how joy becomes a healing force when rooted in love and our identity as God's beloved. You'll learn: Why the Course calls joy your function and a sign of spiritual maturity How resistance through joy echoes the teachings of Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount What “Black joy” reveals about reclaiming identity and sacred dignity How to cultivate joy even in the midst of pain, loss, or injustice Emily's sermon reminds us that joy is more than a feeling—it's a way of standing with God, even in the storm. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.
