Most believers live with the feeling that  they should be doing better - struggling less, seeing more. Only a bigger, clearer revelation of Jesus can roll away the stone- the thought that we have to add to what Jesus has done for us. Andrew this week talks about how all of the sacrifices that people had to make were taken care of in the one perfect sacrifice of Jesus for you. So you could live in rest and live in more.

To receive more grace, love & favour then you cannot be in the way! Our own self effort and performance mentality robs us of receiving all that Jesus has done for us. The bible tells us to roll away the stone - to get self out of the way so that life comes. Today Andrew shows us how Jesus' work rolls away the stones of the big areas in our lives - what He did was perfect - every time we see & understand more of His finished work for us then a bit of the stone is rolled away in our lives! Be encouraged!

Do you want to experience more grace in every area of your life? The heart of God is that we know Him more every day and live in the goodness of the work of Jesus. How to receive more? Roll away the stone! Today Andrew shows us from the word what that means and why it will lead to more grace in you every day.

So often we get fixated on reaching the destination yet God often has so much to reveal of Himself as we walk with Him. Sometimes our experiences can cause us to downgrade our expectations and our hope for the future. In this message, Phil considers the journey of two despondent disciples on the road to Emmaus who were able to build a greater understanding and relationship with Jesus as He walked with them. God loves to draw alongside us wherever we may be. As we see God's great story revealed in the person of Jesus, our view of life and vision for the future are transformed and our hope restored.

Pastor Josh McCauley from Redemption Church in Johannesburg South Africa spoke this week at Exchange. Be blessed and encouraged by this powerful message !

Grace is more than encouraging words or good theology. Jesus wants you to access and live in the good of all His work. He told us to remember Him through communion - It is more than a symbol but a way of living in wholeness every day. Learn the healing you can receive as you make communion a rhythm in your life and access more of the blessing of God in your life.

Finishing off our series on Faith to Possess, Andrew helps explain how to make faith a way of living and not just something that you hear and then move on from without living in the good of what Jesus has done. Powerful truths to help you ground grace and see the finished work of Jesus bringing good fruit on your life.

There is a line of thinking in the church that says I just have to keep speaking and eventually I will see what I say. The problem is that many of us have tried that and still not seen things change. What then does it mean to speak in faith? The order in the word is we believe so we speak and Andrew looks at Peter on the water and how he responded in the middle of a storm that the disciples thought would drown them. You will be released, blessed and have faith grow in you as you listen!

Jesus was the only one to use the expression "you of little faith" in the Bible and he used it 5 times. For years many of us have felt condemned by this as it seems like a telling off from Jesus. Is that though what He meant? And what does Jesus do with you when you feel like you don't have much faith. You will be blessed to know He is not against you!

Where do you start to possess the promises that God had made for your life? The word tells us that we should guard our heart because that is where life flows from. So what does that really mean? How do you do that and how do you know what is in there already? Andrew looks at where the word tells us how we can start to see the goodness of God flowing in our lives as we see how God has written the word to show us what faith looks like.
