What is true worship and how do we protect it?

Worship has become a music genre and more about us than it is about God. Recently an AI-generated song made it to the top of the charts in the 'worship' category for 2 weeks! We have become removed from the heart of what God meant worship to be.

Pastor John Blackah brings a message from Genesis 22 where the first mention of the word 'worship' is in the Bible. The account of Abraham and Isaac, where Abraham is willing to sacrifice his only son and Isaac lays his life on the altar is powerful symbolism for Jesus Christ years later, where God sacrifices his only son so that we may be made clean.

True worship has nothing to do with us and everything to do with Him.

Pastor Tony Wastall brings a message on the power of prayer this week with a focus on Luke 6:12, and Luke 18. Jesus still does the same things today that he did when he walked the earth. There's no drug or alcohol addiction, physical or mental illness, ailment or otherwise that is too big for Jesus. We struggle with prayer, because we often cannot see results in the physical realm until we prevail, but the reason we pray is so that we don't loose heart.

God is restoring and raising up in our nation a new prayer movement, and LifeSpring Church is a house of prayer!

Life can feel overwhelming with family, jobs, finances and everything else we've got going on. Pastor John Blackah brings a message focusing on the story of King Hezekiah from Isaiah 36 & 37 to help us understand how to position and posture ourselves in order to receive our breakthrough.

Pastor Karla Blackah digs into John 15:4-8 this week to explain how Father God is the gardener, Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. We can thrive when we are connected to Jesus as the vine and just as a branch needs a vine for life, we need to be fully dependant on Him. Abiding means to stay, to dwell or to remain. Learn how to enjoy the presence of God in your life and press deeper into all He has for you by listening along.

Father of the house, Tony Wastall brings a message on all the different kinds of prayer that exist within the Bible. With a look at Ephesians 6:11-18, 1 Timothy 2:1-4, Nehemiah 1:1-11 and Ezekiel 22:26-30, Tony explains; praise and worship as intimacy with the Father, prayers of petition for stating your case before God, supplication for when you are emotionally involved for a breakthrough, decrees for commanding something to happen and intercession for when you stand in the gap on behalf of someone else.

There is a call on us right now and it's not trivial. The nation of the UK is experiencing waves of transformation and LifeSpring Church is standing with Turn the Battle UK for revival!

Apostle Tony Wastall brings a message on the importance of prayer for today. Our nation is in turmoil and we need to pray for our government, leaders and officials. Tony explains how Joel 2:15-17 is calling for everyone to leave all stations of life; forget the wedding, bring the children, even the little ones still nursing, and pray!

On January 21st - 23rd, all four of our LifeSpring Ministries churches are joining with Turn The Battle, a three-day prayer and fasting movement to seek the Lord for our nation.

Pastor John Blackah kicks off 2026 by speaking on the importance of prayer. With a study of The Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13, he unpacks the three main motivators of prayer: Duty, Discipline and Delight. Listen to hear a breakdown of each line of The Lord's Prayer and how we can be seated at the right hand of the Father.

Pastor John Blackah looks at the story of the Wise Men from Matthew 2:1-12, landing on their devotion to the Lord and their volcanic expression of worship upon hearing the King is born.

There are three groups of 'wise' people in this passage:

King Herod who was petrified at the news Christ was born and responded with fear which leaked into the city of Jerusalem.

The Chief Priests who advised Herod and were able to discern what the signs meant, but didn't act.

The visiting Magi who saw the star and rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. They bought their treasures to the city and caused a scene, scaring King Herod.

Who in the story do you want to be like? John encourages us to position ourselves as a wise man and worship the only one who is Holy. Don't go into 2026 the same way you were in 2025.

Father of the house Tony Wastall unpacks Isaiah 9:6-7, giving us three ways Jesus came to be the Prince of Peace. In a troubled world of turmoil, Jesus didn't come as a political leader, but rather as our peace over anxiety, our fears and our sin. Tony explains how social media has accelerated the epidemic of anxiety, biblical figures obeyed and actioned the will of God despite their fear, and we cannot ignore the sin issue in every man, woman and child on earth regardless of whether we are followers of Jesus or not. Will you make room for Jesus? Will you open your heart to Him? Listen now to find out how to experience true peace in Jesus Christ.

This week, Pastor Tony helps us to understand God's plan for our lives by unpacking Judges 11 to give us three keys for connecting with your destiny.
