Core - Worship

Continuing our second week in the series 'Core' we look at our value of worship. True worship is what is done in the secret place (Matthew 6:6-8) enabling us to face trials with a strong foundation. To find what worship is we read from Romans 12:1.

1 - Worship is Glorification (What takes your time, money, passions)

2 - Worship is Sacrifice (What you are willing to sacrifice)

3 - Worship is Attributing Worth (What you are willing to attribute worth)

Calling upon the Father who is unseen, we need to acknowledge the Lord in the secret place. He is worthy of our praise! Taking time to lift His name above all else, you'll be amazed!

Core - Values

Beginning our new series 'Core', Pastor Neli brings us a message about who we are as a church. Christ-centered and Spirit-empowered! We value Worship, we value Discipleship, we value Outreach and we value Family. God has empowered us to serve and He wants us to value Him more and subject ourselves to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Matthew 6:24-25, When we have fear or when we are anxious may we learn to "Sit- Down" and fully trust God. He always comes through. More than Enough! 

Frequency - 7 Questions for Godly Transitions

Pastor Neli Atiga poses questions to us which we must ask ourselves before tackling the big things in our lives.  There are 7 questions for Godly transitions which will assist us to seek the right council before stepping forward down the path to change.  

1. What is the Holy Spirit saying?

2. What does the Bible say?

3. What does wisdom and wise council say?

4. Are there ulterior motives?

5. Where will you grow the most in God?

6. How will you help others to grow?

7. Is God done with you where you are?

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
