Are we letting the Holy Spirit flow through our lives, or just building pretty, empty riverbanks? Mike unpacks three defining snapshots of Pentecost in Acts 2: the inclusiveness, the authority, and the accessibility of the Spirit. He challenges us to move from passive belief to active surrender. Just because God's power is available doesn't mean it's automatic. It's time to step out in faith, receive His divine empowerment, and let the river run again.

A COHESIVE CHURCH: LESSONS FROM THE HOSPITAL by Hillsong Church - Brisbane City

Are we living as carriers of true peace, or just trying to manage our anxiety in a chaotic world? In this message, Senior Pastor Phil Dooley unpacks the profound meaning behind Jesus' greeting, Shalom Elohim in John 20, exploring the crucial difference between temporary worldly peace and permanent Godly peace. He challenges us to stop equating worry with caring, and to move from a life of exhausted self-reliance to one of deep trust. Anxiety says it all depends on us, but true peace reminds us that God is the source. It's time to release control, normalize calm, and become a people of peace.

Who are you, really? Richard Vanderkolk unpacks how easily we mislabel ourselves based on our past, our pain, or our performance. He challenges us to ditch the endless pursuit of worldly acceptance and root our identity entirely in who God says we are. "No matter how high we climb this hierarchy, we can never reach who we are in Christ." It's time to tear off the world's old labels and live fully from our unshakable identity as co-heirs with Christ.

Are we sitting on the sidelines while God moves, or are we daring to jump in? Sloane unpacks the healing of the lame man in Acts 3, revealing that miracles are more than just moments, they are signposts. He challenges us to see how every miracle points upward to Jesus, forward to a restored world, and inward to the deep transformation of our hearts. Don't let past disappointment dictate your future opportunity. It's time to leave the skepticism behind, get out of our seats, and expect the miraculous.

What does 42 years of ministry teach you? Steve Kelly shares seven life lessons — and unpacks four of them in depth: pursue excellence, know the power of a good report, stay interruptible, and develop an unoffendable spirit.

Simple. Practical. And the kind of wisdom that changes how we show up everywhere we go.

What if the giant we're facing doesn't have the authority we've given it? Crystal brings a faith-stirring message about miracles, mountains, and what happens when we stop admiring the impossible and start speaking to it.

Giants still fall. Mountains still move. And the God who healed then is the same God who heals now.

Are we walking out our calling or just carrying the label? Alistair unpacks three types of people in Luke 9: the comfortable, the procrastinator, and the one who keeps looking back. And challenges us to move from superficial faith to sacrificial living.

Excuses are just a polite way of saying no to God. It's time to go in our strength, our gifting, and our calling.

The narrow road is unknown, uncertain, and unpopular. But it's the one that leads to real life. Lucinda shares six moments from her own journey where God asked the same question, and challenges us with it today.

Will you walk a road less travelled? Because the people who change the world usually do.

What's standing between us and where God is calling us? Alistair unpacks the story of Gideon and Moses to show how our excuses reveal our evasions, and why regrets are just the repeated fruit of refusal.

We're not called because we're qualified. We're called because He goes with us. It's time to stop making excuses and step into what God has already placed in our hands.
