In this message from Shout Conference, Ps Paul Geerling takes Isaiah 40 and the great promise that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. He unpacks three things that happen when we stop flapping in our own strength and start waiting on God: we are reminded just how strong and wise he actually is, we receive his strength and his perspective on our situation, and we find the resilience and endurance to walk through the hardest seasons of life. Along the way he shares about a church meeting 75 floors above Hong Kong harbour, a family who walked through the loss of a son with unwavering faith, and a conversation on a plane that left him convinced: the world has gone so strange that living for Jesus is the most countercultural thing you can do. This one is for anyone who is tired of flapping.

Jesus said the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like children. But what does that actually mean for us as adults?

In this message, Ps Paul Geerling takes Mark chapter 10 and unpacks five characteristics that God loves about children and doesn't want us to lose as we grow up in faith. Children don't believe in limits. They believe their father's resources are never ending. They never stop asking. They are always learning. They love to make new friends. And they trust their father completely. This message is full of warmth, humour, and the kind of simple reminder that cuts straight through: don't stop coming to God with the simplicity of a child.

Not everyone can go. But everyone can hold the rope.

In this message from Shout Conference, Ps Byron Marchant introduces one of the most freeing ideas in the life of the church. There are four things you can do with the gospel: believe it, live it, share it, and partner with it. And it is that fourth one, the partnering, that most people have never fully stepped into. Drawing from the story of William Carey and his friend Andrew Fuller, from Romans 16, and from Galatians 6, Byron makes the case that the kingdom of God has always advanced on the backs of rope holders. Not volunteers filling a roster. People who see what God is doing and say, I can't do what you're doing, but I can do this. This message will change the way you read your Bible and the way you show up for the church.

He believed in God. He had seen God work. But somewhere along the way, he stopped relying on him. And what followed is one of the most sobering warnings in the Bible.

In this message, Ps Mark Collard walks through the story of King Asa in 2 Chronicles and draws out a warning that is as relevant today as it was then. The danger is not that we stop believing in God. It's that we stop relying on him. Ps Mark unpacks three things that happen when we shift from trusting God to trusting our own ability: we miss out on bigger victories, we miss out on God's strengthening hand, and we postpone the test rather than pass it. This message closes with one of the most honest invitations to fully surrender and say, God, I trust in you alone.

Some churches have a missions board. The people on it are the ones who go out, while everyone else stays home. But what if you're already on the board?

In this message, Ps Sam Malcolm makes the case that every single one of us is already on mission, right where we are. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 2, he pulls out three things Paul shows us are needed to go on mission: a burden that moves you to action, a sacrifice that creates space for God to move, and the endurance to stay in it for the long haul. And then he shows us why all three of those things, as hard as they sound, add up to one thing. Joy. This is a message for anyone who has ever felt like mission is for someone else.

Whatever you're facing right now, God is more than that. Whatever feels like too much, God is more than that.

In this message, Ps Monica Collard builds one of the most encouraging ideas in the Bible around two simple words. More than. She walks through the feeding of the 5,000, the woman with the issue of blood, the wedding at Cana, and shows how every time someone brought their lack to Jesus, they walked away with more than they came with. She unpacks what El Shaddai actually means, the God of more than enough, and shares honestly about a season she and Ps Mark have been walking through where God has been revealing himself as more than they could sort out on their own. This message is for anyone who feels like they are on the wrong side of the equation.

You are not designed to carry this much. But you keep packing more in anyway.

In this evening message, Ps Rachel Mawston picks up from the morning and takes the conversation somewhere deeper. She shares what happened at a Hillsong conference when a friend prayed two words over her. "Come, Holy Spirit." And everything changed. Not the circumstances. Her. This message is built around one idea. His presence is not a moment you visit. He's a person you carry. Rachel walks through Moses asking God to show him his glory, the promise God made in response, and what it means to stop chasing encounters and start becoming a carrier of his presence. She also shares the remarkable story of Louise, a woman who came in struggling with addiction and left laughing uncontrollably for the first time in seven years.

The biggest tactic of the enemy is not to make you sin. It's to make you busy.

In this message, Ps Rachel Mawston shares what she discovered over the past year about the Holy Spirit and what happens when you intentionally make space for God's presence. She takes us through the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4 and 8, a woman with no name who built a room for God and saw four incredible miracles come from that one decision. Rachel is honest about the pain her family walked through last year and how making space changed everything, even when the circumstances didn't change straight away. This message is for anyone who has stopped expecting, stopped believing, or stopped praying because disappointment silenced their hope.

Most people think discipleship is about knowing more. It's not. It's about relationship.

In this message, Ps Jeziel Koehler breaks down what it actually means to be a disciple of Jesus using three simple words. Follow. Belong. Reach. He unpacks Matthew 4:19, the invitation Jesus gave to a group of ordinary people, and shows how those three words describe three kinds of relationships every disciple needs. Your relationship with Jesus. Your relationship with the church family. And your relationship with the people around you who don't yet know him. Preached at a baptism service, this message is practical, personal, and full of life. This message was inspired by WikiChurch by Steve Murrell.

Most people think sharing their faith means having all the answers. It doesn't.

In this message, Ps Steve Graham breaks down the beautiful simplicity of God's good news into three things. God loves you. Jesus invites you to come and see. And God uses ordinary people to pass that invitation on. Ps Steve shares a story from living in a slum in the Philippines and a conversation with a 16-year-old drug addict who asked how he could possibly believe God cared about him. The answer was simple. He shares it in this message. If you've ever felt like you don't know enough to invite someone to church or to talk about your faith, this message is for you.
