“My fear is that people will become content to live without the fire, the power, the excitement, the supernatural element that makes us great”

- John Wesley

Are you living in power, passion, and excitement for that which you cannot control? Or are you cowering in fear of the life you have made?

Dietrich Bonhoeffer encouraged us that “We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God”.

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares a simple three step pattern to reconnect yourself with all that you have been called to be.

“Don't shine so others can see you. Shine so that through you, others can see Him.”

? C.S. Lewis

No matter what your day to day job may be, be it serving food, selling clothes, or pastoring a church, you are called to live a life that influences and connects with others.

Are you a witness to the big picture, or just the little details?

Listen as Nick Barber shares why it is so important to live a life that witnesses to the grace, mercy, and redemption that we have been so freely given.

What do we do when it all gets too hard?

We ultimately have 3 options. Give up, keep trudging along, or dig in deeper. What's your default response?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber explains why some of the most beautiful harvests in our life come from the seeds we have sown in times of tears, and how we can learn to dig deeper in times of sorrow.

Are you an addict?

Cravings and addictions are so often associated with the negative. Drugs, alcohol, Facebook. But what if it's not about being addicted, but what we're addicted to.

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us why we should crave; but more importantly, what we should crave.

Live, Love, Learn, and Leave a Legacy

- Stephen Covey

We are so caught up with gaining and retaining things for ourselves; physical, emotional, and spiritual. But will we truly be measured by what we keep, or by what we pass on?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares on why it is not only important to leave a legacy, but to also be sure that it is one that will sustain, nurture, and support the next generation.

"We always struggle so hard to hold on, but God says “trust me and let go." - Unknown

How often do we only give out of excess? What if we are called to give sacrificially, no matter how great (or how small) that gift is?

Listen as Deb Glassford shares about the unlimited blessings that so often come when we give from our limited means.

The world is at war. Whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually, we are all fighting for something.

What are you fighting for? And how prepared are you to go into battle? More importantly, how are you preparing?

Listen, as Josh Reading from Divergent Church in Canberra shares both how God has promised to armour us for the battle, and why we are called to trust his commission.

What is sacrifice?

The term is thrown around a lot today, but do we really understand what true sacrifice is?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us about a sacrifice like none before, and like none since.

Are you Selfish or Selfless? Do you Hunger, or are you just Hungry?

The world tells us to climb the ladder, Jesus tells us to hold it so that others may climb. The world tells us to get more, Jesus tells us to give more. The world tells us to be proud of who you are, Jesus tells us to be humble because of who He is.

Who is your example?

Does life bring death? Or does death bring life?

Is your life lived to bring glory to yourself, or to one who is so much bigger than you?

How do you know if your hour has come? And how will you respond?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares on the importance of death when it comes to abundant life.
