When we find ourselves onward towards the realization of a dream or promise, the most challenging time is the in-between space of uncertainty and discouragement that places us at an emotional bus-stop waiting for our D-day to arrive. In this message we place these moments under a lifestyle magnifying glass and examine the requirements to effectively waiting on God. We will discover that waiting is an active art that positions us holistically to received all that God has set apart for us.  

Life is often filled with seasons which we try to avoid. We wish our lives could be filled with never-ending days, months and years of summer, but life never seems to quite get that memo. In this message we touch on the painful reality of life’s transitions and transformations which contrary to popular belief is a crucial ingredient in all our current and future successes. Change is evident. Change is constant. Change is good.

We often find ourselves in a long line of unanswered prayer request that we have made to God for things we would like to be blessed with. Our request seems reasonable and so do our motive, but still we receive no answer from God. In this message, we unpack the reality of the importance of actually being ready for what we ask for. Also we will discover that our requests often goes unanswered due to the simple fact that our earthly description and timing of what we want can not be located within the parameters of God's will for our lives. Asking God for a blessing is one thing, being ready to receive it is quite another.

Footballers have their football kit. A school boy has his school uniform. A clown has his costume. A construction worker has his safety gear. For every profession and phase of life there is a required dress code. In this message we unpack the Christian closet and discover what is Gods required wardrobe of choice for the successful 21st century Christian today. Are you dressed for success?

Hope is the bridge that carries you across to your deepest desires and longings. Hope is the shield that deflects the fiery arrows of doubt and discouragement. Hope is a requirement for your destiny and calling in Christ. In this message we unpack the makeup and scaffolding of hope, that when activated, empowers us to not focus on the pain of our journey but instead to live in the anticipation of our destination. 

During Christs three year ministry, He boldly declares these words "I have come to give you life and life in abundance". What does the abundant life in Jesus look like and feel like? In this message, we delve into this topic as we unwrapped an important pillar connected to this abundant life, that is Gods unmerited favor. Are you simply existing as a child of God  or have you embraced and sampled the abundant life founded in Jesus. 

How often are you overlooked or undervalued? Isn't it refreshing to know that God does not evaluate you the way your fellow man does. In this message we will explore the love-filled selection process of God and discover that He still chooses you regardless of the opinions of those around you. You are chosen and pursued by one who knows the sting of rejection, judgement and persecution on a level that's far beyond our understanding...You are pursued by Jesus. Will you allow Him to capture your heart and transform your life today?
