Goodly Talks

It's a funny one: every Christian believes God wants to bless his children, but nobody agrees what that blessing looks like! This week Alyn explores why blessings are not just spiritual in nature but also incredibly practical and unpacks why tithing is the foundation of financial blessing.

The book of James teaches us that our mouths can be used for blessing or cursing. This week Alyn explains why both of these things are so powerful. And then finally we do some prayer ministry for freedom from curses, generational curses and word curses.

Here's copies of the slides Alyn used and the prayers that were prayed.

Continuing our theme of blessing - and what gets in the way of receiving them - Alyn introduces the concept of generational curses and shows how they bring havoc to families. Links to the slides and worksheet are available below.

We're starting a new series on blessings, so it only makes sense that we begin with a discussion on curses! 😂 In this message Alyn explains where curses come from, how they typically manifest in people's lives and what to do about them. If we're going for a life of blessing (and we are!) then the topic of curses is vital for us to understand properly. Slides that accompany this message can be found here.

We're told to pray continuously. But how does one do that exactly? And what's this about rejoicing and giving thanks? Is that the same thing as prayer? In the shortest message he's ever spoken, Alyn shares with us four scriptures about prayer to encourage us to pray with confidence.

Copies of his notes are here.

Team is super important. Jesus chose not to do everything himself by having disciples. The Apostle Paul had an expectation that church wouldn't be a one man roadshow. Even the great man of God Elisha took input from those he was leading.

This week, we opened our service to hear from the launch team of Goodly what the Lord has been speaking to them about church. Slides are available here.

We're all on a journey in life, but the most important journey to go on is moving from orphanhood to sonship. This begins at salvation of course, but there are many Christians today living with less than Jesus paid for. Though they are positionally a child of God, they tragically don't live that way.

On this week's episode AJ shares with us a litmus test to help identify areas of our lives where we still live with an orphan mindset. Notes for this message can be found here.

AJ builds on last week's episode by unpacking  the topic of the father heart of God. The theology of God the Father has largely been ignored by the church which is tragic as Jesus came to reveal the Father to us.

In this episode AJ shares from scripture and her own testimony about how she experienced this vital truth. Learn what it did for her life and what it could do for yours too. The slides that accompany this message are available here.

One of the best kept secrets in the church today is that God is a good, loving, extravagant and kind father. The trouble is, for many of us, we haven't had great experiences with our earthly fathers so we're often left thinking, "What's so great about a Heavenly Father?" 🤷‍♂️

Kicking off our "Father Heart" series, AJ shares her testimony and explains the need for forgiveness and the power that it can unlock. Her slides are available here.

The last message in our series of what makes us us. We want to see people grow into the fullness of what God's called them to.

To do that we want to help the lost find Jesus and the saved find the Holy Spirit and introduce everyone to the Father. The truth is, God is better than any of us can imagine and he's looking for sons and daughters.
