Mornings at YCBC

Welcome to our 2018 ‘Summer Series’.

Join us as we invite people to share their hearts and stories and encourage us with what God has been doing, and is continuing to do, in their lives. 

This week, listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares some of his story, and encourages us to think about who is carrying who in our relationship with God.

What did you get for Christmas?

The true gifts of Christmas are much more than those which wait for us under the tree or in our stockings in the morning.

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us three gifts that are offered to you this Christmas.

Will you accept the gift?

Roughly 2000 years ago, two kings were born…

One into a royal family, quoted as being ‘divine’, ‘the son of God’, ‘benefactor and saviour of the whole world’.

And then there was Jesus, born into obscurity; a refugee in a small country town; with no royal blood, or claim to an earthly throne.

Which one do you follow?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares why things are not always as they seem.

What does waiting look like for you? Do you sit and wait, patiently hoping? Or do you actively wait, preparing yourself for what is to come?

How we wait is the greatest indicator of who you are waiting for. Are you waiting in hope and expectation, or have you lost your hope that anyone else will ever be able to meet your hopes, desires, and needs.

Do you know who are you waiting for?

“Most of us don’t get what we want simply because we don’t know what we want”   -Mark Batterson, The Circlemaker

‘What’ are you waiting for in your life? Do you know what the desires of your heart are? And are the desires of our heart really what we should be waiting for?

Maybe we aren’t dreaming big enough.

Listen below as Nick Barber encourages us to dream bigger, and to find our ‘what’ in a desire that is bigger and deeper than ourselves.

'Will you lead me, beside the still waters
Where the oil, it runs over, and my cup overflows
You restore my soul'   -   Caedmon's Call - Walk with Me

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber looks back on the year that has been, and casts a beautiful vision of overflow for 2018.

"The chances are that at 8pm tomorrow night, you will probably need this message more than you do now"

Are you weary from trying so hard to achieve on your own? Do you remember the greatness of your God and His truth? Or are you struggling to see and rely on him past the effort and striving you are putting in day by day?

Listen to Kitch Morris encourage us to increase our view of God, and how much of Him we have in our lives.

Are we forgiven? Are you sure?

If so, why do we have so much trouble forgiving others? Shouldn't our ultimate example be taken from our own experience of forgiveness? Or do we struggle because we forget that forgiveness is not a one off moment, but an attitude.

And can we protect ourselves spiritually? Or is spiritual protection something that try as we might to achieve, we always realise is bigger than us?

Join Nick Barber to explore why we are called to consistently, purposely, and unwaveringly bring these requests to the only one who is able to truly forgive, and protect.

Are you praying for bread? Or begging for cake? How we pray often directly influences what it is we are praying for.

Are we defined by the clothes we wear? By the food we eat? By the money and the things we own? We all sometimes fall into the trap of believing that it is by the works of our own hands that we create our value and sustain ourselves.

Listen as Nick Barber explains why the bible tells us that 'daily bread' is more important than 'cake'.
