From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. (‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ NIV)

One of the most common impulses of genuine worship is to plead with your own soul, so we preach to ourselves Psalm 103: 1-2 "Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me" — not just some of me, not just half my heart, not just half my energy, not just half my mind, but all that is within me—bless his holy name." Come on, soul, where are you? Wake up! Look at what God has done! Look at what he is like!

God has freely given us access to all of his great benefits! However, the way we see ourselves and how we see God, greatly impact how effectively we lay hold of and flow in these great benefits of God.

One of the wonderful benefits of being In Christ is having access to God. This benefit is always available, but is only enjoyed when we cultivate an atmosphere for it in our lives. Busy? Distracted? Check out this podcast to be inspired to draw near to God in a fresh way.

Never before has any event impacted the world so much as the resurrection power of Christ Jesus. - What Jesus has done, cannot be undone. - With death now consumed by the power of His resurrection victory, His resurrection has powerfully changed everything. - During this sermon podcast, Ps Phil Oldfield shares with us the significance of Christ's incredible resurrection power, in particular he outlines six ways that this event benefits our lives.

In this very personal heart felt preach Ps Julie shares that without relationship with God through the sacrifice of Jesus life we are trying to write our own life story. Psalm 139 says "that all the days of my life are written in Gods book." God has already written our story. Hear her own story of "seeing the face of Jesus " as He saves her and sets her on a course of true destiny.

God is in control of the universe. He is in control of the beginning and the end. But is He in control of my life? In this message Ps Julie asks us three questions: 1) Is God in control of your life? 2) How much control do you give Him? 3) How does it benefit the plan of God if I let go and let God?

After the Lord created the heavens and the earth (Gen 1:1), he did not abandon the world to run on its own. Rather, he continues to be involved in the lives of his people and in the care of his creation. God is not like a master clock maker who fashioned the world, wound it up, and is not letting it slowly unwind on its own; instead, he is the loving Father who cares for what he has made. God’s continual care for his creation and his people is called, in doctrinal terms, his providence. Providence meaning Preservation, Provision his Government. He rules the world! God is sovereign, the events of history happen under his permissive will and oversight; at times he directly intervenes according to his redemptive purpose, but as we know God’s allowed himself to be limited in his supreme power and rule in this world.

Providence - Each of us as individuals were created by God for a purpose. God sees ahead and therefore, makes wise provision for his creation to assure the fulfillment of that purpose! God is in control - history has meaning; it is going somewhere, it's not a endless cycle.

There is a plan and a purpose ordained by God for your life. When your purpose is revealed to you it acts like a beacon that directs and influences all of your life's decisions. Your purpose will keep your path straight, and although the journey toward it may have its trials, understand that God is in control.

Every biblical doctrine is informed by the doctrine of God as the Creator of the heavens and the earth - it sets us apart from every other world religion. It doesn’t take too long when we realize that the world is not perfect, especially his people supposedly made in his image. His image to love, forgive, show mercy, be patient, to give, to worship and serve God. Is it out of control? Yes to a large degree! “1Jn 5:19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. Revelations 12:9 “misleading the whole world astray”. But God has a plan and it’s coming to pass as the Greatest Story ever told – it includes you and I – freewill chooses His plan or ours.

Sometimes in the chaos of all that is going on in the world we can get dismayed. We ask questions about God's character and wonder where he is in the midst of it all. Sometimes we forget there is a grand story unfolding in the midst of the chaos. If we take a deeper look at the story we find there is an incredible energy moving us forward into a glorious new age where everything is made new.

When you come up here – you can see the magnificence of the church – you can see the splendor of His name - you can see your life included in Christ. Mic 4:2 Many nations will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths". Maybe God cannot and will not show your future until you are ready to “come up higher” (Rev. 4:1-2).

The lover of My Soul. When Jesus said "what good will it be for someone to gain the whole world and lose his soul" He was trying to communicate the value of a human soul. In the soul detox message we can easily see the toxins that we accumulate in our souls but when we come to Jesus, the lover of our Souls, He restores our souls and crowns us as royalty

Everything that we allow into our minds, hearts, and lives - everything that we spend our time and money on - has an impact on how we grow, or don't grow, spiritually.

What does being free really mean? Is it licence to do whatever we please..using grace as our 'get out of jail free' card? Ps Phil shares how we, through truth, in grace, can be truly set free to love others as Christ loves us...even loving our sometimes challenging relatives and close family members!

The greatest commandment is "..and love your neighbour as you love yourself". (Matt 32:29) Many of us have insecurities in life that can make it difficult for us to love and reach out to our full capacity. In this message, Ps Garth encourages us how to love ourselves and in turn be free to love others.

Do you have enough of God on the inside of you that people would want to take a hold of you to go where you’re going? Garth teaches us how to become the kind of Christian that truly does fish for men and that draws people to Christ - through grace, steadfastness, firm beliefs, and above all love for our fellow man, both saved and unsaved.
