He opens up about how success can sometimes blur our lines and even justify sin in our minds, reminding us that the real test of character often comes after the breakthrough, not before it.He gets real about his own journey, too. He describes deep personal hurt and how God began to heal that damage over time. Not all at once—some of it was immediate, but a lot of it was through the process. Through tears, worship, prayer, and honest moments with God, Kent says he began to feel that freedom. He talks about how spiritual baggage from past relationships can’t just be talked away—it needs to be broken off in the name of Jesus.Kent’s message is a reminder that we’re not just called to be saved—we’re called to walk in freedom, to take the land God has promised us. Whether it’s in relationships, identity, or purpose, there are areas in our lives that God wants to restore—but we have to partner with Him in it. That freedom is both a gift and a journey. That we’re called not just to survive the wilderness, but to thrive in the promise. And that even in success, the mission remains: know God, find freedom, discover purpose, and make a difference.------

If you missed Peak Live and want to watch the replay of the live stream, you can watch that here: youtube.com/live/CudrVf4G69oPania shares about the real, raw, and beautiful journey of motherhood—both the highs and the hard bits. She starts by honouring all the Mamas, recognising the different roles they play and the deep sacrifices they make—not just in career or lifestyle, but in literally giving their bodies, time, and hearts to raise kids. She reminds us that mums are more than just caregivers—they’re emotional anchors, truth-tellers, and tea-makers, always there in the big and small moments of life.One big thing we learn from Pania is that stepping into motherhood—or anything meaningful, really—rarely comes at the “perfect time.” She encourages us not to wait for the ducks to line up in a row, but to take a step of faith. She reminds young couples not to be afraid to start the journey, because there will never be a perfect house, job, or bank balance.Pania also takes us through the story of Bathsheba to highlight Bathsheba’s strength. Even after pain, betrayal, and loss, she becomes the mother of Solomon—the one chosen by God to build the temple. Pania shows us that even in the messiest situations, God brings strength in purpose, redemption, and honour.------If you have joined us for the first time or you'd like to send our Pastors a message, you can say hi and share with us here: peakvisionchurch.co.nz/welcomeLearn more about Peak Visionpeakvisionchurch.co.nz/explore

If you missed Peak Live and want to watch the replay of the live stream, you can watch that here: youtube.com/live/qcvmZZXDBWkKent shares part 2 of Out, Through and In. If you missed part 1, watch that here: open.spotify.com/episode/2nh3R9Qu6sv7QVlJ5gsPMK “The Way Through”—the often painful but necessary part of the journey between being set free (the way out) and entering into God’s promises (the way in). Kent reminds us that while the world encourages us to numb pain or escape struggle, God leads us through it, not around it. Just like the Israelites had to go through the desert after escaping Egypt, we too must go through seasons of refining, trusting, and character-building. Using the temptation of Jesus and the story of 80 year old Caleb, Kent emphasises that even when God calls us to something, for example, be it starting a business, moving countries, or raising a family, we often look for a way out when it gets hard. But God's method is always through—because that’s where growth, dependence, and sanctification happen.The call is clear: Don’t return to what’s familiar just because it’s easier. Don’t trade your promise for comfort. Trust God to take you through—because Jesus is the way out, the way through, and the way in.------

If you missed Peak Live with included music, peak news & worship, etc, you can watch that here: youtube.com/live/qSQ0gdHkAMYFrom Kent’s message, we learn about a powerful biblical pattern — Out, Through, and In — and how it applies to our spiritual journey. Drawing from Exodus and the writings of Paul, Kent will help us understand how Jesus calls us out of darkness, leads us through life’s refining process, and brings us into the fullness of His promises.We’ll also explore how Paul challenges believers not just to leave behind the world’s ways, but to evict harmful habits, influences, and compromises, especially those within the faith community, that undermine our spiritual authority and effectiveness.Kent shares with us that as followers of Jesus, we’ve been given both authority ("exousia") and power ("dunamis") to live victorious lives. He unpacks how authority works through relatable examples and what it means to walk as disciples or "understudies" of Jesus, empowered to act on His behalf.Ultimately, you'll come away with a fresh understanding of our God-given authority, the call to holiness, and the responsibility to guard what God has entrusted to us — especially our homes, communities, and spiritual lives.------

This speaking series is included as part of our Holy Week nights. Consider this a part 6. See the holy week playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkrJzl-hSkU1JZL3FGxIAOZl20AIxAoB0Kent emphasises that truth leads to freedom, while lies lead to bondage and a tiny life. We learn that truth matters, and the truth of Jesus' resurrection invites us into freedom, purpose, and transformation. We don’t need to have all the answers—we just need to be open, available, and real. Whether at an airport bar or in church, God uses ordinary moments and ordinary people to do extraordinary things—believe it or not.------If you have joined us for the first time or you'd like to send our Pastors a message, you can say hi and share with us here: https://www.peakvisionchurch.co.nz/welcomeLearn more about Peak Vision https://www.peakvisionchurch.co.nz/explore

Sarah explores the difficulty in understanding the Holy Spirit through human logic, reason, or scientific methods. The Spirit cannot be measured, contained, or fully explained, which is why it’s often avoided or minimised—even within the church. She refers to Jesus’ words in John 14 and 1 Corinthians 2, noting how spiritual truths are only discerned through the Spirit, not human wisdom.

Pania speaks about the truth and significance of the blood. She reflects on how blood can evoke different reactions; however, biblically, it holds deep meaning. She emphasises that God's original intent was a relationship with us, and despite sin, He made a way for restoration. Through the spirit of adoption, believers are brought into God's family permanently — a concept especially powerful when understood through Hebrew culture, where adoption meant irreversible belonging.Pania further explains that blood is vital because it contains life — a truth both physically and spiritually. She noted that despite scientific advances, blood cannot be manufactured, showing its divine significance. In the Old Testament, sacrifices and blood offerings were required for atonement, but now, through Jesus' sacrifice — the perfect and ultimate offering — atonement for sins is complete.[Atonement means: the process by which Jesus removes sin so that we can have reconciliation with God.]Connected scriptures Pania used include: Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 17:11, Hebrews 9:22, Matthew 26:28, Romans 3:25-26, and Ephesians 1:7 -----If you have joined us for the first time or you'd like to send our Pastors a message, you can say hi and share with us here: https://www.peakvisionchurch.co.nz/welcomeLearn more about Peak Vision https://www.peakvisionchurch.co.nz/explore

Every night we have a guest speaker. Tonight it was Josiah. Josiah shares the truth that having a secure identity impacts every area of our lives.

He explores what identity is, defining it as a sense of self, knowledge of who you are, and most importantly, your worth and value.

Josiah splits his message into two parts: "The Great Lie" and "The Great Truth."

The Great Lie:

This is the worldly view that identity is based on achievements, feelings, or how you compare to others. If your identity is built on success, it will also be crushed by failure, leading to insecurity, fear, and a cycle of striving.

Even good things (like careers, skills, or relationships) can become harmful if they become the core of your worth, because they’re fragile and temporary.

The Great Truth:

True identity comes from Jesus Christ, and it’s not something you earn—it's something you accept.

Josiah outlines four truths about identity in Christ:

- You are a child of God – God calls us His sons and daughters (2 Corinthians 6:18).

- You are here for a reason – You were created intentionally, not by accident (Jeremiah 1:5).

- You are not a mistake – You were fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:13–14).

- You have a future – God has plans for your life, full of hope (Jeremiah 29:11).

He concludes with Galatians 2:20, encouraging us to give up worldly definitions of identity and accept what God says about us. Josiah challenges us to embrace our true identity in Christ.

During Holy Week - night one, we explore the concept of truth through the lens of God's Kingdom, drawing from John 18:36-38, where Jesus tells Pilate that His kingdom is not of this world. Zahn contrasts this with the Roman Empire, which was built on power, hierarchy, and control, where truth was defined by the powerful.Pilate’s question, “What is truth?”, reflects a world where truth is subjective and often manipulated by those in authority—a theme we can connect to modern society, where leaders still control narratives and suppress dissent.In contrast, Jesus proclaims a kingdom based on objective truth—a truth revealed not through dominance, but through servanthood, sacrifice, and selfless love. Jesus, though King, chose humility, even unto death on the cross. To His disciples, this may have seemed backward, but Zahn explains that this upside-down kingdom reveals the true foundation of God’s reign.The truth of this kingdom is not intuitive or worldly—it’s divine, eternal, and transformative.
