It's A Wonderful Life - The Measured Life

Join us as we continue with your current series, It's a Wonderful Life.  This week Henry Peterson helps us to live a life well lived through wisdom and God shaped planning.  Our plans need to be aligned with God's plans.  What are you making plans for in your life?  What lessons have your learned and will your perspective change in the coming year?

The plans of the heart belong to man,
    but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
    but the Lord weighs the spirit.
Commit your work to the Lord,
    and your plans will be established.

- Proverbs 16:1-3 (ESV)

It's A Wonderful Life - When Life Was Born

Join us for our special Christmas service as we continue in our current series, It's a Wonderful Life.  This week Pastor Neli talks about the life of Jesus and how we can find hope in Christ.  How do you conduct yourself in an effort to find where your hope really lies?  When the pressure is on what or who do you turn to as the source of hope in your life?

She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). - Matthew 1:21-23 (ESV)

It's A Wonderful Life - The Love Life

Join us as we continue our current series, It's a Wonderful Life.  This week Pastor Neli teaches us the importance of the life we're leading.  Christian life is all about giving so that you can become more like Christ.  We have been designed and destined for relationship.  Will you trust where God puts you or do you want to be wherever you choose?  As you pursue God wholeheartedly and with all effort, you’ll enter into the zone of shalom fulfilment- nothing lacking, nothing missing.

So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. - Genesis 2:21-22 (ESV)

It's A Wonderful Life - The Upside Down Life

Join us as we continue with our current series, It's A Wonderful Life.  This week Pastor Neli talks to us about the Gospel of the kingdom.  Referring to Jesus, He’s not just the priest, he’s the sacrifice.  He’s not just the king, he’s the one who comes down to serve his people.  He’s not just the prophet who teaches, he embodies and is the fulfilment of the Old Testament.  God is in the business of turning your life upside down if you'll just learn to trust Him.  Are you living the "upside down" life that Jesus offers to us in victory?

For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.

- Isaiah 55:8-9 (ESV)

It's A Wonderful Life - The Cheerful Life

Join us as we continue in our current series, It's a Wonderful Life.  This week Neli reminds us of God’s goodness towards mankind.  God’s goodness is poured out onto us that we can’t help but to lift up our praise to Him.  You see life differently when the gospel gets a hold of your heart. God has positioned us with favour to be a blessing, but what will we do as a response?

You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. - 2 Corinthians 9:11-12 (ESV)

It's A Wonderful Life - First Things First

Join us as we continue with our current series, It's a Wonderful Life. This week Pastor Neli speaks to us about freely giving to God. God wants our heart and this is particularly true in our finances. How we utilise our finances is usually a reflection of the prioritisation of our lives. We don’t worship God for what we can get but if we freely give our heart and our finances, God will provide all that we need. Won't you allow God to change your perspectives today?

 

Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. - Malachi 3:10 (ESV)

It's A Wonderful Life - The Heart Of The Matter

Join us as we continue our current series, It's a Wonderful Life.  This week Pastor Neli speak about our heart, referring to giving and our relationship with God.  Money can be an accurate mirror of the heart.  What are the motives of your heart?  Where your treasure is, there you heart will be also.  If we don’t seek first His Kingship, then someone else’s royalty is in our heart.  When you see an opportunity to give, let it be an opportunity to worship Jesus.

“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;  give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” - Luke 6:37-38 (ESV)

It's A Wonderful Life - Life Matters

Join us as we continue our current series, It's A Wonderful Life.  This week Pastor Neli discusses how valuable our purpose from God truly is and why we were designed to walk out in this life.  Life matters to God so such so that He would give up himself so that we would have life.  We mustn't be afraid of life's tensions.  We must be bold to stand up for the things that matters to God.

Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” - Matthew 25:44-46 (ESV)

It's A Wonderful Life - The Valuable Life

oin us as we continue our series, It's A Wonderful Life.  This week Pastor Neli helps us to think about our world view and how this can contribute to how we value life.  If we value this life which God has given us, then we must understand that His word is what sustains us.  Are you living life with an eternal value?

Your word is a lamp to my feet
    and a light to my path.
I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,
    to keep your righteous rules.
I am severely afflicted;
    give me life, O Lord, according to your word!

- Psalm 119:105-107 (ESV)

It's A Wonderful Life - The Abundant Life

Join us as we start our new series, It's A Wonderful Life.  This week Pastor Neli helps us to look at the abundant life which God has called us to live.  If Christ has called us to live life to the fullest, then why do we not see more Christian living a full, abundant life?  Are you building your empire up or are you embracing the life God has given you and building up His Kingdom.

So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. - John 10:7-10 (ESV)
