If you've ever ready the book of Proverbs, then you'll probably understand the importance of living wisely. But grasping the essence of wisdom involves more than just the 'why'; its about knowing and understanding the 'who' behind all wisdom.

Without relationship with God, we will pursue knowledge, but not necessarily live a transformed life. Real change often comes from accountability and submission to someone else's guidance. By embracing God's lordship, we tap into His wisdom, paving the way for a life marked with effective and meaningful change, with a mindset for our eternal future.

In this discussion led by Ps Janine Kubala, a panel of guests reflect on the most impactful advice they've ever received and reveal some of their deepest fears and how living in God's wisdom helped them step into God's best plan for their lives.

In a world filled with uncertainty and challenges, the pursuit of authentic Godly wisdom becomes essential as we navigate challenging times. Our new series titled "Wisdom," explores how the foundations of all wisdom come from God.

The central theme of Ps Andrew’s message “Wisdom Begins Here’, is the foundational role that wisdom plays in navigating the complexities of life. True wisdom begins with a reverence for God and a humble acknowledgment of His power and authority. As Proverbs 1:7 reminds us, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge."

Through the story of Solomon's encounter with God in 1 Kings 3, we learned that wisdom is not merely about acquiring knowledge but about seeking understanding and discernment in our daily lives. Solomon's request for wisdom to govern God's people demonstrates the importance of prioritizing divine wisdom above all else.

Moreover, the sermon emphasized the transformative power of wisdom in protecting us from evil and guiding us towards righteous living. By humbling ourselves before God and seeking His guidance earnestly, we open ourselves up to receive His instructions for living.

The message also touches upon the practical aspects of seeking wisdom in everyday life, highlighting the importance of prayer, meditation on scripture, and maintaining a posture of humility before God. By prioritizing our relationship with God and seeking His wisdom diligently, we can navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity.

In conclusion, the message serves as a poignant reminder of the indispensable role of wisdom in our spiritual journey. As we embark on this series together, let us commit to seeking God's wisdom earnestly and allowing it to shape every aspect of our lives.

Join us in the journey of unlocking the power of wisdom, and together, let's embrace the abundant life that God has in store for us. Stay tuned for more insights and revelations in the upcoming weeks of our "Wisdom" series.

On Easter Sunday, our hearts overflow with joy as we celebrate the resurection of Jesus, for He has triumphed over death, proving Himself to be the Son of God.

Pastor Andrew Kubala brings a captivating message with the theme of total surrender. With vivid imagery, he paints the moment of Jesus' resurrection as the ultimate act of surrender, where the forces of darkness were defeated, and hope was resurrected.

Delving into the biblical account of Mary Magdalene and the other Mary at the tomb, Pastor Andrew illuminated the profound significance of Easter. The angel's proclamation shattered the grip of fear, ushering in a new era of hope and victory. Through Jesus' resurrection, he emphasized ten ways that Jesus has established His sovereignty and secured our salvation.

Reflecting on personal testimony, Pastor Andrew shared his own journey of surrender at the age of 15, when a simple prayer ignited a transformative encounter with the living God. His testimony echoed the invitation extended to all, to embrace total surrender and experience the life-changing power of resurrection.

As we commemorate Easter, let us embrace the truth that Jesus Christ is Lord, reigning victoriously over every circumstance.

Ps Andrew Kubala shares a profound message with insights on the trials and temptations that Jesus encountered on the way to the cross. Despite taking on the fullness of humanity, He was unwavering in his focus and commitment to the purpose of his life, the redemption of humanity.

But He did not do this alone. He did not have to rely on his own strength, the stories shared in this poignant message emphasise his reliance on the Holy Spirit to support and help him overcome.  We are all tempted by opportunity and experiences in our lives, but through a foundation of prayer, knowing the Word of God, and a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit, we too can rely on his power to guide us into a place of overcoming.

As believers, we are called to walk in faith, knowing that God is with us every step of the way, no matter how hard the trials are we face. Our faith will help us endure and overcome challenging times as we trust in God's goodness and provision.

Whether it's with family, friends, colleagues, or romantic partners, the dynamics of human connection can be both enriching and challenging. In part three of this series “Better Together”, Ps Janine Kubala delves deep into the art of establishing wise boundaries in relationships, drawing inspiration from timeless wisdom found in the Scriptures.

We are created for relationships. From the very beginning of creation, God recognised that it was not good for us to be alone. We were designed for connection, both with one another and with our Creator. As we journey through life, amidst the priorities grabbing our attention, it's crucial to remember that at the end of the day, it's our relationships that truly matter.

But navigating relationships isn't always smooth sailing. Conflicts inevitably arise, tensions flare, and emotions run high. Yet, as believers, we have access to a wellspring of wisdom from God Himself.  As promised in James 1:5, God assures us that if we lack wisdom, we need only ask Him, and He will generously provide it without reproach.

God established boundaries from the very beginning. Just as God separated light from darkness and land from sea, He calls us to establish healthy boundaries in our relationships. These boundaries serve as pre-decisions for navigating conflict, ensuring harmony and peace in our interactions.

However, we have also been created with complex human emotions. We're not robots governed solely by logic; our feelings often hold sway over our actions. Yet, through self-reflection and reliance on God's wisdom, we can learn to discern when our emotions are leading us astray and we can learn to step back, remain silent, and seek rest when emotions run high, allowing space for clarity and reconciliation.

When we focus on the desired outcome of our relationships, by envisioning where we want to be and seeking God's guidance, we can approach conflicts with humility and grace, aiming for resolution and restoration.

By seeking God's wisdom, setting pre-decisions, and prioritizing reconciliation, we can navigate conflicts with grace and humility. Let us strive to cultivate relationships that honour God and bring mutual growth and flourishing.

We are created in the image of a God who embodies perfect relational harmony, yet as humans, navigating relationships can be a daunting task. Join us as we delved deep into the theme of relationships, in part two of our series, exploring how our thought life impacts our interactions with others.

In Genesis, we see how the knowledge of good and evil altered humanity's perspective, leading to insecurity and fear. We're naturally inclined towards negativity, but as followers of Christ, we're called to embrace positivity and love. Philippians 4 urges us to fix our thoughts on what is true and admirable, for positivity brings peace and stability to our relationships.

Together, we will evaluate our "Evil Genius Score" versus our "Insecurity Score' to highlight how often we dwell on negative thoughts and insecurities, affecting our relationships. But there's hope. By actively pursuing positive thinking and aligning our thoughts with God's truth, we can overcome potential 'Insecurity Death Spirals'. 

Together we will learn to 'assume goodwill' in our interactions. Instead of jumping to conclusions or dwelling on insecurities, let's extend grace and believe the best in others. Just as we desire understanding and acceptance, so do those around us.

The message resonated deeply as we reflect on the root of insecurity — a belief that we are not enough. But as Ephesians 4 reminds us, we're called to maturity in Christ, humbly making allowances for each other's faults and striving for unity in love.

Insecurity doesn't originate from God; it's a tool of the enemy to distort our identity and hinder our relationships. But through the power of Christ's love, we can reclaim our power and our identity and break free from the grip of fear. Let's embrace God's perfect love, casting out fear and reaffirming our worth in Christ.

In a world inundated with noise, it's easy to lose sight of the profound impact our words can have on others. Our very intention to bring truth to others, without considering our priority to love them first and tame our tongue, can result in ‘truth truck road kill’ that can disrupt the journey of other people towards a relationship with God.

Join us as we explore the importance of listening with the intention of understanding, taming our tongues, and speaking the truth in love. Discover how God's wisdom can transform our communication patterns, leading to deeper connections and trust in our relationships with each other and with God.

Drawing from biblical narratives and personal anecdotes, Pastor Janine illuminates the transformative power of intentional communication, urging listeners to apply biblical truth carefully with their words and to approach conversations with a spirit of love and understanding.

At the heart of this message is the recognition that our relational health serves as a barometer for our spiritual well-being. Just as a good tree yields good fruit, so too do healthy relationships bear the fruit of love, trust, and connection. In a world filled with division and discord, cultivating these relationships becomes paramount, reflecting our divine calling to mirror the relational nature of our Father God.

Through a blend of biblical teachings and practical insights, Pastor Janine offers us a roadmap for navigating the complexities of human interaction. She emphasised the importance of listening with intentionality, of speaking truth tempered with love, and of extending grace to both others and ourselves in moments of relational tension.

Whether building up or tearing down, our words possess the capacity to breathe life or inflict wounds. When we employ a spirit of humility and self-reflection, we can acknowledge our own shortcomings and ask Jesus for the wisdom and grace to cultivate healthy relationships and create a safe space for genuine connection.
