Unity

Guest Speaker Tua Moala talks about Psalms 133 and the importance of Unity.  Unity with each other and the church family.  The enemy will strike us when we are strong to cause us to disconnect but we have been called to be a spiritual family and there is an anointing that happens when we dwell together.  We're all here because God planned us to be.  Let us now allow the enemy to distract us from that.

Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!

- Psalms 133:1 (ESV)

Soldier Athlete Farmer

Soldier - Athlete - Farmer.  Pastor Neli takes us through 2 Timothy as we reflect on the soldier, the athlete and the farmer.  Each are early risers, self motivated and clear winners.  That is what we must become with God if we are going to have the gospel within us.  To rise early in The Word, motivate ourselves to be dedicated to reading and prayer, and clearly we will win the prize most treasured

You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus

- 2 Timothy 2 (NIV)

Dig Deep

Join us today as we dig deeper into the metaphor "Dig Deep".  Whether we dig a physical ditch or spiritual ditch, what does it mean?  We've got to dig deep in the word of God.  We can't just be casual in our faith.  We have dreams but we've got to dig deep to break through to our destiny.  It's hard work, sometimes nonsensical and mostly hidden, but let's pray to God, practice regularly and praise Him for who He is.

He then said, “God’s word: Dig ditches all over this valley. Here’s what will happen—you won’t hear the wind, you won’t see the rain, but this valley is going to fill up with water and your army and your animals will drink their fill. This is easy for God to do; he will also hand over Moab to you. You will ravage the country: Knock out its fortifications, level the key villages, clear-cut the orchards, clog the springs, and litter the cultivated fields with stones.”

In the morning—it was at the hour of morning sacrifice—the water had arrived, water pouring in from the west, from Edom, a flash flood filling the valley with water.

- 2 Kings 3:16-20 (The Message)

Just Walk Across The Room - Walk Towards A Friend

Join us as we finish the last episode in our 4 part series, Just Walk Across The Room. Pastor Neli makes good use of the Book of Proverbs to remind us about friendship and about the important relationships we hold.  Look back on the friendships you have and see if you have constancy, carefulness, cander and council.  We need to choose our friendships wisely.  Do you have friendships which are sharpening you?

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

- Proverbs 27:17

Just Walk Across The Room - Walk In The Spirit

Continuing with our Just Walk Across The Room series, Pastor Neli this weeks talks about walking in the Spirit.  Not just in our daily lives, but also when approaching someone to speak to them about God's word, we must be Spirit-led.  It's with the power of God that we are able to talk to other people about Christ. But first we must be Spirit-filled.  So what does it meant to be baptized with the Holy Spirit?

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes to you; and you will be witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

- Acts 1:8 (NIV)

Just Walk Across The Room - The Power Of A Story

Continuing our series on Just Walk Across The Room, Pastor Neli teaches us the importance of our own testimony and the way we communicate with others to get our message across.  There are some important things to note when speaking about our faith story to someone who has not yet started that journey.  Let it not be long winded, unclear, weird, or filled with jargon which we have grown accustomed to within our christian circles.  Does this sound like you too?  How would you tell your story?

Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith

- Galatians 3:25-26 (NIV)

Just Walk Across The Room - The Prodigal Son

Part 2 in our series Just Walk Across The Room and Pastor Neli is leading us on a personal reflection of our own spiritual journey. Are we lost and don't know our way anymore?  Are we so fixated on what's in front of us that we forget to see the bigger plan?  No matter how we feel we may be lost, our heavenly father knows us and wants to bring us near. 

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

- Romans 5:8 (NIV)

Sermon On The Mount - A Foundation Built To Last

Our last part in the Sermon On The Mount series and this week we have Norm Asaua bring us the message.  A Foundation Built To Last talks about the parable of the 2 construction workers who built their houses on sand and rock.  Listen in as Norm clearly outlines which foundation we should be building our spiritual life.  By trusting Jesus is the rock to build our foundation on, Jesus gives us the stability and security.  Jesus is reliable and is the way to eternity.  So which foundation are your building on?

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

- Matthew 7:24 (NIV)

Sermon On The Mount - Know Me!?

Moving on into another week of our series, Sermon On The Mount, Pastor Neli talks about the intimate relationship God is wanting with us.  God has given us gifts and we are called by God, but we are more so called to people and not to amplify the gifts God has given us.  So let us really know God with a depth of intimacy and continue to pursue our life's purpose.

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven

- Matthew 7:21

Sermon On The Mount - 3 Gardens 2 Trees

We continue this week with our Sermon On The Mount Series.  This week, Pastor Neli goes through Matthew Chapter 7. We have the tendency to close our eyes to what God wants us to do.  What kind of relationship do you have with God?  There needs to be room in our lives to go deeper with God.  That's where we can produce the good fruit. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

- Galatians 5:22-23
