Speaker: John Glass | In the Bible, names were seen as descriptive of not only who people are but also who they are meant to become. On the occasion of Palm Sunday and the launch of our new name 'One Church', John Glass – the General Superintendent of Elim and the Chair of Council for the Evangelical Alliance – brings a timely and inspiring word encouraging us to step into our identity and destiny, releasing what we have to Jesus’ mission and being a people who take the glory of God from where it is to where it isn’t.

Speaker: Catherine De Souza | Jesus taught us to pray, “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”. This means that as Christians we should be living in so much more than we often do. Jesus meant that we should be praying God’s will and His kingdom into our lost and broken world. As Christians, miracles should be our norm. The supernatural should come naturally to us. We should expect miracles that reveal and glorify God. A life with God is one where we can have great expectations – expectations of the miracles He can work in our lives and through us in the lives of others.

Speaker: Dominic De Souza | In our anxiousness to separate ourselves from undue veneration of Mary, at times Protestant Christians have been guilty of relegating Mary to a place of virtual insignificance. But there was something about Mary which caught God’s attention. What was it about Mary that, of all the women in the world at that time, God chose her to be the mother of Jesus? This message explores what we can learn from Mary’s attitude, faith and devotion to God as we seek to be the kind of people whom God will entrust to birth His plans and purposes in our generation.

Speaker: Catherine De Souza | Many people carry guilt for failures that God has already forgiven them for. Instead of looking down in shame, we can look up to the God who is the lifter of our heads, standing in our identity as forgiven people. Instead of looking inwards at our past mistakes, we can look outwards and walk in our calling to bring God’s kingdom in. Instead of looking back at our past, we can look forward knowing that with God our past doesn’t define our future.

Speaker: Dominic De Souza | Extending forgiveness may be one of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do – but there is a breakthrough on the other side of that decision. Forgiveness cannot re-write the past but it does make it possible to pen a new and better future. Hurt people hurt people; forgiven people forgive people. This message will help you to understand the characteristics and consequences of true forgiveness.

Speaker: Catherine De Souza | We can’t choose the treatment we receive but we can choose our response: we can choose forgiveness. We can choose forgiveness that isn’t based on the other person’s repentance, that doesn’t excuse the behaviour and that recognises forgiveness may be something we have to repeatedly choose. We can choose to cancel the debt that is owed us, knowing all this is possible with God. No matter how big our hurt is, our God is bigger. No matter how deep our pain is, God’s love is deeper. No matter how strong the hold that unforgiveness has on us, our God is stronger. Today we can choose to forgive unjust treatment and experience true freedom.
