The Lord's Prayer - Your Will Be Done

Join us as we continue our current series, The Lord's Prayer.  This week Pastor Neli discusses the importance of prayer and how we should recenter our lives around The Father.  Prayer is a gift to us and should never be self centred.  Prayer centres our thinking, our feelings, and our planning around Jesus.  The point of prayer is to make Jesus central.  If we recenter our lives around Jesus, it will completely transforms the way we live.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (ESV)

The Lord's Prayer - Our Father In Heaven

Join us as we continue our series current series, The Lord's Prayer. This week Pastor Neli teaches us how we can represent the qualities of our Heavenly Father in our own lives so we can display them to those we interact with.  God’s fatherhood is better celebrated when we walk together.  Collectively as the body of Christ we best reflect God’s glory.

“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then like this:

“Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name.

The Lord's Prayer - Your Kingdom Come

Join us as we continue with our series on The Lord's Prayer.  This week Pastor Neli breaks down some of the qualities of The Kingdom of God. The way we can tell that the Kingdom of God is in place, is what remains on the earth (His remnant).  When was the last time you allowed yourself to be impressed by God, both in awe of who he is and in terms of moulding and shaping to who you’re meant to be? Can people see God’s rulership in you and in your environment?

“Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. - Luke 6:22-23 (ESV)

The Lord's Prayer - Hallowed Be Thy Name

Join us as we continue our new series, The Lord's Prayer.  This week Pastor Neli teaches us the importance of adoration when we call out the Name of God.  There are a plethora of images that come up when we say the Name of God because He tends to be misrepresented.  Hallowed means sacred and ultimate.  When we think of the word hallowed, we think of ultimate adoration because God’s name holds ultimate adoration.  How is His name hallowed in your life?

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Philippians 2:9-11 (ESV)

The Lord's Prayer - Coming Out Of The Closet

Join us as we start our new series based on The Lord's Prayer. This week Pastor Neli teaches us the importance of a quiet place to build on our relationship with God.  Being with God is the objective of Prayer.  God wants to activate the power of our secret lives  to flow into our public lives.  Pray knowing God sees you in secret and knows your needs even before you ask.  How is your secret life as a christian?

But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. - Matthew 6:6 (ESV)

Resilient - What Now?

Join us as we conclude our current series, Resilient. This week Pastor Neli summarises what is means to be a resilient disciple in a digital Babylon.  Are we living in a resilient place of faith or are you living a “good enough to move on” kind of faith.  How are you living life in a significant way and leaving behind a legacy for the next generation?

To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. - 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 (ESV)

Resilient - Swimming Upstream

Join us as we continue with our current series, Resilient.  This week Pastor Neli discusses how we are on a counter cultural mission.  Being counter cultural means when culture is moving in a certain direction we are often called to a place that resists that form of culture shift.  The mission God has called us on is counter cultural.

 

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. - Jeremiah 29:11-13 (ESV)

Resilient - On The Job

Join us as we continue our current series, Resilient.  This week Pastor Neli discusses how we can be resilient in the context of vocational discipleship.  Vocation is the calling of The Lord and what that might look like.  Overtime, it revolved more around our jobs.  Understand that God will take you and place you specifically where He needs you to be. Do you consider your occupation you vocation?

 

The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. - Genesis 2:15 (ESV)

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - Proverbs 18:24 (ESV)

Resilient - Four By Four

Join us as we continue our current series,  Resilient.  This week Pastor Neli poses the question, “How do we discern how to live in todays culture?” How clear do we see the world through our “world view”? We should keep in mind, a compromised world view is not a biblical world view.  What do you stand for? What will be the four words that will be said of your life?

If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.” - Daniel 3:17-18 (ESV)
