The Deeper Life - Re-Envisioning The Promised Land

Join us as we continue our current series, The Deeper Life.  This week Pastor Neli helps us to reflect on the destiny which God’s has promised.  The Bible reveals God to be Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and who ever does not honour Jesus Christ as God, does not honour God.  The true promised land is in the presence of God. It is not a geographical location. If we are to experience our promised land, we must work to stay in God’s presence.  Are you willing to give up what you think is best for what God knows is far better than your best?

And the Lord said to him, “This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there." Deuteronomy 34:4 (ESV) 

The Deeper Life - Leading Out of Isolation

Join us as we continue our current series, The Deeper Life.  This week Pastor Henry helps us reflect on the journey of Moses with the Israelites.  Have you ever come to a point when you wanted to quit? Our thoughts and attachment to the past can at times keep us captive from moving forward into all that God has for us. Consider the people that surround you. Are they helping you draw closer or further away from God? Who has God placed your amongst to journey alongside?

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Gather for me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them, and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you. And I will come down and talk with you there. And I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them, and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you may not bear it yourself alone. - Number 11:16-17 (ESV)

The Deeper Life - The Third Option

Join us as we continue our current series, The Deeper Life.  This week pastor Henry helps us to understand the priority we give God. Have you ever tried to seek God with a different priority? Sometimes God can be a third option for to the areas of our lives we need help. What daily rhythms  do you have in your life that build, feed, and strengthen your soul?  Do you trust God enough for your daily portion?

And he cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the Lord made for them a statute and a rule, and there he tested them, saying, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer.” - Exodus 15:25-26 (ESV)

The Deeper Life - Transition and the Spiritual Journey

Join us as we continue our current series, The Deeper Life.  This week Pastor Neli and Tina help us to understand our transitional and spiritual journey. When we progress in terms of God’s will we understand we have an eternal God who has an eternal perspective. The healthier we are in the deep part of our life the greater our journey will grow in Him.  What does God desire to do in your life to help you progress in everything that He has for you?

And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” - Exodus 14:13-14 (ESV)

The Deeper Life - Living Within Limits

Join us as we continue our current series, The Deeper Life.  This week Pastor Neli teaches us how we can live within our limits so we prevent burning out. You are of no value if you are burnt out. There is a reason God lays out a pattern to include a holy day of rest. How can you honour God by setting limitations so that you don’t burn out but burn brightly for His glory?

Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. And let them judge the people at all times. Every great matter they shall bring to you, but any small matter they shall decide themselves. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you. If you do this, God will direct you, you will be able to endure, and all this people also will go to their place in peace.” - Exodus 18:21-23 (ESV)

The Deeper Life - Can I Have Your Attention?

Join us as we commence our new series, The Deeper Life.  This week Pastor Neli teaches us how we can develop a deeper life in God through the lens of the life of Moses. How is your soul, mind, will, and emotions? Do you have the right measure in place to recognise your soul needs attention?  The Holy Spirit wants your attention. Have you considered turning away from the things that stress you and turn towards God who bring you into a place of rest for your soul?

Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” - Exodus 3:13-14 (ESV)

Right On The Money - If Your Money Could Talk

Join us as we continue our current series, Right On The Money.  This week Pastor Neli talks to us about the importance of money. We are called to manage our finances well.  We are meant to be the steward of what God has blessed us with but who is the master of your finances? What is the kingdom vision God has put in your life?  How can your money go beyond yourself in a way that honours your master?

“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” - Luke 16:10-13 (ESV)

Right On The Money - Stewardship

Join us as we continue with our current series, Right On The Money.  This week Pastor Neli speak to use about the different aspects of stewardship.  Everything in life belong to God and is an opportunity for stewardship. Are you stewarding the money God has blessed you with in a way that honours Him in your giving, saving, and spending?  How will you steward what God has blessed you with today?

So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. - Matthew 25:28-29 (ESV)

Your New Season

Join us as we have special guest speaker Senior Pastor Joshua Opadiya (Every Nation Sydney City Church) bring our message today. Pastor Joshua encourages us about a new season God has prepared.  No matter where you have been or how you have been, God is doing a new thing in this moment.  Don’t let the past keep you from the rewards God is preparing now.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven - Ecclesiastes 3:1 (ESV)

Right On The Money - The Generous God

Join us as we continue in our current series, Right On The Money.  This week Pastor Neli speaks to us about biblical generosity.  When we give ourselves to the church that is Gospel-Centred, and to His causes that are Kingdom Centred, we never find ourselves at a loss.  Do your values line up with the way you use your finances?  You can tell the way someone has been transformed by the generosity of God, by looking at their own generosity.

And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. - Luke 19:8-9 (ESV)
