Frequency - Parenting

Pastor Neli's mother, Fetuna Lee speaks wisdom to parenting and teaches us the ways to teach our children.  Fetuna leads by example by living according to Psalms 127:3-5

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,

the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children[a] of one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Frequency - Seek the Welfare of the City

As we sow ourselves here in Brisbane in our personal lives and as a church, Jeremiah 29:4-13 teaches us to plant our roots, as there is blessing that comes with it. "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." God has called us here, not to follow our own will, He wants us to serve others with an attitude of taking ownership of our circumstances. May we glorify God as we serve where we are planted. 

Frequency (Part1) Hearing the Voice of God

Kicking off our new series called Frequency, Pastor Neli encourages us to be in the best position to receive everything God has for us. Position Vs Positional, God wants us to be still, listening for His voice so that we may be able to receive the fullness of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Despite the noises and distractions around us, may we be still and hear the voice of God.

Get in Shape - The Brain Wash

Continuing our series on Get In Shape, this week Pastor Neli brings us a message to help renew our Mind.  Radical transformation always starts with the renewing of the mind.  By renewing our mind, we may be in a position to transform our character to be like Christ.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.  Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

- Romans 12:1-2 (ESV)

Get In Shape Part 3

Follow us as we continue with Part 3 in our Get in Shape series.  This week Norm Asaua speaks about being disciplined and having the motivation to complete the goals that are set before us. Keep our minds focused on God and not of material things, and we will surely keep the prize for eternity.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

- 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Get In Shape - It Ain't Soul Unless It's Whole

The is the second part in our "Get In Shape" series.  This week Pastor Neli talks through Psalms 23 and the way we look at our beautiful souls in a way of loving and worshiping God with the souls He has given us.  A lot of what you prioritize become the determinant of what your soul becomes wrapped around.  So let's wrap ourselves withe the grace of God.

He refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths

for his name’s sake.

Psalms 23:3

Get In Shape - This Is Not Your Year

A new series to welcome the new year ahead by honoring God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.  Pastor Neli starts this week with "Heart" and let's us remember that this year is not a year for us, but a year to dedicate to God by honoring Him in everything we do.

"Above all else, guard your heart,

    for everything you do flows from it."

- Proverbs 4:23

The Pouring, Passing and Awakening

Tina Atiga has spoken out about Hannah, Eli and Samuel and how much we can learn about change.  We must lay the ax to the root of our lives to find out certain things in our lives.  In particular bitter root judgement and strongholds we have formed in out hearts when we didn't know about God.  That's why it is important that impressionable hearts are able to receive the love of Jesus Christ.

CSI - The Generous God

Part 3 in our CSI Series - The Generous God.  Pastor Neli reminds us how generous and loving our God is and what the ultimate gift to give mankind was.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. - John 3:16-17 (NIV)

CSI - Get Behind Me Santa

Part 2 in our CSI seriies.  This week "Get behind me Santa.  There's something about Mary".  Pastor Neli delivers the sermon with depth outlining today's culture to have Christmas all about Santa rather than the birth of Jesus Christ and how Mary was chosen by the angels to deliver
