What drives your desire to be great—recognition or purpose?In this message, Andrew Mayne explores the tension between personal ambition and spiritual calling. Using the story behind the Hardy Boys and the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon, Andrew draws a compelling parallel to the church: many individuals working under one name, not for personal fame, but for a greater purpose.Through personal stories and biblical reflection, this message challenges us to examine our motivations and invites us to live for the name above all names—Jesus.Key Scripture: Philippians 2:5–8"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus... he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant..."---- Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.

What breaks your heart when you look at your city?

In this message, Jason Elsmore challenges us to move beyond comfort and complacency and to engage deeply with the brokenness around us. Drawing from Nehemiah 1, Jason explores how proximity to pain awakens prayer, and how ordinary people—like Nehemiah, a public servant—can shape the future of a city through intercession.

Whether you're in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Goondiwindi, or watching from anywhere in the world, this message invites you to stand in the gap for your community. Jason reminds us that we have access to a King—Jesus—who hears, responds, and moves when we pray.

Key Themes:

• Awakening the Church across Australia
• The power of proximity to pain
• Interceding for cities with compassion, not judgment
• Standing on God’s covenant promises
• Being positioned by God to pray with purpose

Nehemiah 1:4–11"Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God... let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying..."

Let’s not get numb to the numbers. Let’s pray for transformation, revival, and healing in our cities.

In this message, Tim Lucas explores the topic of repentance—not as a word of guilt or shame, but as a practical step toward renewal. He explains how repentance is more than feeling sorry; it’s about turning away from distractions and turning back to Jesus.

Using stories from Scripture, personal experience, and historical examples like the Welsh and Pyongyang revivals, Tim shows how repentance leads to real change, deeper faith, and spiritual growth. Whether you’re new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this message is a reminder that repentance isn’t a one-time event—it’s a daily choice.

2 Chronicles 7:14

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Are you spiritually asleep? In this message, Jason Elsmore kicks off the Awaken series with a call for the church to rise from spiritual slumber and become fully aware of God's presence, active in prayer, and walk in the light of Christ.

Through personal stories, biblical insights, and three spiritual "alarm clocks," Jason challenges us to wake up to the reality of God's grace, the urgency of prayer, and the promise of revival in our nation. From the mountaintop transfiguration to the quiet whisper on the mountain with Elijah, this sermon reminds us that God is speaking—are we awake enough to hear Him?

Set your spiritual alarms:

• Morning: Pray for awareness of God’s presence.
• Midday: Pray persistently for breakthrough.
• Evening: Reflect, repent, and rest in His grace.

What if the fresh move of God isn’t about innovation, but about returning to what’s faithful and true?

Dave Shepherd, Senior Pastor of Hills Baptist Church Adelaide, gives a message that challenges the modern church to reconsider what it means to follow Jesus in a world obsessed with the new. Preaching from Romans 12:1–12, Dave unpacks the call to be:

• Joyful in hope
• Patient in affliction
• Faithful in prayer

Dave illustrates how the mission of God often feels less like smooth sailing and more like paddling against the current. But it’s in that struggle that true discipleship is formed.

The message isn’t flashy—but it’s deeply needed. It’s a call to realign with the simplicity of sacrifice, obedience, perseverance and prayer.

Psalm 71, a song of lament and hope written by an old man—likely King David—reflects on God's unwavering faithfulness throughout his life. Jason Elsmore leads us through this Psalm from youthful confidence to the struggles of aging, this sermon reminds us that God is our refuge, rock, and fortress, unchanging in His love and compassion.

Whether you're walking through a season of pain, feeling spiritually weak, or wondering if God has changed His mind about you—this message is for you. Be encouraged by four timeless truths:

1. God will never change His mind about you.

2. He is present with you in your pain and offers hope for tomorrow.

3. You have a story of God's power and provision to share with the next generation.

4. God will be faithful to the very end.If you need prayer, we're here for you.

Every day, your thoughts are shaping the direction and quality of your life, whether you realise it or not. In this message, Derek Peters tackles one of the most important and often overlooked parts of your spiritual journey - your thinking.

Using the story of the Prodigal Son, and alongside other parts of scripture, Derek shows how the enemy uses lies to build strongholds in our minds such as false beliefs that hold us back from living as loved, free, and secure sons and daughters of God.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns of shame, fear, or self-doubt, this message is for you. Discover how to recognise the lies, replace them with truth, and begin thinking in a way that aligns with who God says you are. Because when your thinking changes, everything changes.

Most of us want to do God’s will… but what happens when we’re not sure what it is? In this message, Elena Ciobo unpacks one of Jesus’ most famous prayers—“Your kingdom come, Your will be done.” Elena shows us that God’s will isn’t about figuring out every detail, it’s about trusting the One who already has. You’ll discover that God’s plan isn’t just for missionaries or pastors, it’s for everyday people, right where they are. If you need prayer, we're here for you.
