RECLAIM THE HARVEST

In Judges 6, Israel was living in the land God had given them, but they weren't enjoying the harvest. They were still sowing. The land was still producing. The seed was still working. But every time increase came, the enemy moved in to destroy it.

The problem wasn't the seed. The problem was what had been occupying the field.

In this message, Reclaim the Harvest, we look at Gideon and the condition of Israel under Midianite oppression. Gideon's handful of wheat proved that the field could still produce, but God hadn't called him to spend his life hiding behind a winepress protecting what little remained. God called him to confront the enemy and reclaim the land.

The same challenge remains for the church today.

The Word of God still works.
The gospel still works.
Prayer still works.
Preaching still works.
The name of Jesus still has power.

We can't allow the size of the harvest we're seeing right now to determine what we believe the field is capable of producing.

Every soul matters. Every baptism matters. Every person filled with the Holy Ghost matters. Every backslider who comes home matters. But the handful isn't the limit of the field.

It's time to pray, preach, teach, invite and believe like there's still a harvest.

The gospel still works. The seed still works. The field can still produce.

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.”Ecclesiastes 4:9 KJVIn this message, Bro EJ preaches about the strength, protection, encouragement, and accountability that comes when the body of Christ stands together.God never intended us to walk this Christian life alone. We’re many members, but one body, and every member has a place, a purpose, and something to contribute.When one falls, another can help lift them up. When one is hurting, the church should care. When someone is discouraged, we can strengthen their hand in God. And when we gather together in the name of Jesus, He has promised to be in the midst.This message challenges us not to isolate ourselves, not to allow offence or bitterness to separate us from the body, and not to think that we don’t need one another.We’re stronger when we stand together.Key Scriptures:Ecclesiastes 4:9–121 Corinthians 12:14–27📍 Northern Rivers Pentecostal ChurchBanora Point / Tweed HeadsOur mission is to impact the world with the love and message of Jesus Christ.Love God.

THE COST OF THE OIL | Breanna Wilson

What does it really mean to give something to God when it costs us something?

In this message, Breanna Wilson looks at David’s declaration, “neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing,” and the woman who broke the alabaster box and poured her precious ointment upon Jesus.

There’s a difference between having the oil and being willing to pour it out.

Our time, comfort, plans, talents, resources, reputation and even our worship can become things we carefully protect. But Jesus is worthy of more than what costs us nothing. The question isn't simply, “What do I have?” but, “What am I willing to give to Jesus?”

“She hath done what she could...” – Mark 14:8 KJV

LEARNED CONTENTMENT | Philippians 4:11–13

Philippians 4:13 is one of the most quoted verses in the Bible:

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

But when we read the verses around it, we see that Paul wasn’t talking about accomplishing anything he set his mind to. He was talking about learning to remain faithful through every circumstance.

Paul knew what it was to have plenty and what it was to suffer need. He knew what it was to be full and what it was to be hungry. Through all of it, he learned something that doesn't always come naturally:

Contentment.

In this message, we look at what biblical contentment really means, how comparison can rob us of it, why contentment doesn't mean we stop praying for change, and how to remain dependent on God in both difficult and comfortable seasons.

Contentment isn't saying everything in our life is exactly the way we want it.

It's learning that our peace doesn't have to depend on everything changing.

Whatever season we find ourselves in, our strength still comes from Jesus Christ.

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Philippians 4:13

#LearnedContentment #Philippians413 #Contentment #JesusChrist #Apostolic #Pentecostal #NRPC

We can get so used to our limitations that eventually we stop questioning whether they should still be controlling us.

“I’m too young.”
“I’m too old.”
“I’m not confident enough.”
“I’ve failed before.”
“I’m not qualified.”
“That’s just the way I am.”

In Luke 6, Jesus met a man with a withered hand. The man had probably spent years learning how to live around what he couldn’t do. But when Jesus called him forward, He didn't ask for the hand that worked. He said, “Stretch forth thy hand.”

The very thing the man may have wanted to hide was the thing Jesus asked him to bring forward.

In this message, we look at Moses, Jeremiah, Mephibosheth and Peter. Each had something they could've used as a reason to hold back.

Moses saw his weakness.
Jeremiah saw his age.
Mephibosheth lived with a genuine limitation caused by something that wasn't his fault.
Peter had to deal with a failure that was his own doing.

Yet none of those things stopped God from dealing with them and using their lives.

This isn't a message saying every physical limitation will disappear if we have enough faith. Mephibosheth remained lame. Some circumstances don't change.

But our limitations, our past, our failures, our fears and even our own opinion of ourselves shouldn't become excuses for disobedience.

God already knows what He's working with.

He knew Moses' weakness before He called him.
He knew Jeremiah's age before He sent him.
He knew Peter would fail before He restored him.
Jesus knew the condition of the man's hand before He said, “Rise up, and stand forth.”

So the question isn't whether you feel qualified.

The question is: What is Jesus asking you to do?

Maybe you've been waiting for confidence when God is waiting for obedience.

What are you hiding behind?

#WhatAreYouHidingBehind #ApostolicPreaching #OnenessPentecostal #Pentecostal #Apostolic #NRPC #Faith #Obedience #JesusName #Acts238 #ChristianSermon #BiblePreaching #Luke6

Nathanael asked, “Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip simply answered, “Come and see.”

There are times when we look at the loss, disappointment, delay, unanswered prayer, or difficult season we’re facing and ask the same question: “Can anything good come out of this?”

The Bible doesn’t teach that everything that happens is good. Sin is still wrong, betrayal still hurts, and grief and suffering are real. However, God is able to work through circumstances we never would’ve chosen.

In this message, Pastor Brian explains how:

• What we see isn’t the whole story
• God can work through something without calling it good
• Trials reveal the condition of our faith
• God’s grace may change us before the situation changes
• What God does in us can later help someone else
• Praise is still right before the answer comes
• The greatest good is knowing Jesus

We can’t judge the end of the story from the chapter we’re living in today. God hasn’t left us, His grace is still sufficient, and our circumstances haven’t changed who Jesus is.

Before you give up, come and see.

The one God of heaven was manifest in flesh as Jesus Christ. He died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. The gospel calls us to repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 2:38: “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”

THE UNSEEN WORK OF GOD | Guest Speaker Bro EJ

There are times when God has spoken a promise, but nothing around us seems to be changing. In this message, Bro EJ looks at the life of Abraham and reminds us that God’s silence doesn’t mean He’s absent.

Abraham had to trust God through years of waiting, unanswered questions, difficult decisions, and circumstances that seemed to contradict the promise. Yet while Abraham was waiting, God was still working in places he couldn’t see.

God’s promises aren’t sustained by our strength or ability. They rest upon His faithfulness. The process may take longer than we expected, but God hasn’t forgotten what He said, and He’s already prepared the provision we’ll need.

2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

Don’t mistake silence for absence. Trust God through the process. The promise is bigger than the delay, and God is already working in the unseen.

In Nehemiah chapter 6, the wall around Jerusalem was nearly finished when the enemy tried to draw Nehemiah away from the work.

The invitation sounded reasonable, but Nehemiah understood what was really happening. His answer was simple:

“I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down.”

In this message, Just Stay on the Wall, we look at what can happen when we leave the place God has called us to occupy. We can abandon the work, move away from the right path, damage our witness, and affect the people God has called us to reach.

There will always be distractions, opposition, disappointment, criticism, and opportunities that try to pull us away from the will of God. But not every invitation needs to be accepted, and not every voice deserves our attention.

Stay faithful. Keep praying. Keep serving. Keep living for God. The work is too important to leave unfinished.

Nehemiah 6:3
“And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?”

What are you building your life on?

In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus tells the story of two builders. Both heard His words. Both built a house. Both faced the same storm. But only one house stood.

The difference wasn't what they heard, what they built, or what they faced. The difference was what they did with the Word of Jesus.

In this message, The Two Builders, Pastor Brian looks at the foundation of our spiritual lives and the serious difference between hearing the Word of God and actually obeying it.

A life can look right on the outside. We can attend church, know the language, hear the preaching, and still build on the shifting sand of our own opinions, desires, and terms.

Jesus Christ is the only foundation that will stand.

Have you obeyed the Gospel? Have you repented of your sins, been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and received the gift of the Holy Ghost? And if you've already obeyed the Gospel, are you still building every part of your life according to His Word?

We've all heard His Word.

Now the question is: What will we do with it?

In Luke 4, Jesus stood in the synagogue and read from Isaiah 61. He declared the acceptable year of the Lord, but He stopped before reading about the day of vengeance. That pause shows us the mercy of God.

Judgment is still coming, but right now the door of mercy is still open. The gospel still needs to be preached. Broken hearts still need to be healed. Captives still need deliverance. Blind eyes still need to be opened. Bruised lives still need to be set free.

This message looks at the mission Jesus announced, the power He gave the church through the Holy Ghost, and the responsibility we still have to be witnesses until the day of judgment.

Jesus still saves. The Holy Ghost is still being poured out. Acts 2:38 is still the answer.
