The law kills. That's what the Apostle Paul says. But how is this possible? It happens to be a question of lordship. Everyone, Christian or not, has a lord and we spend our lives investing our relationship towards that lordship - and following the 'rules' in that relationship. So what does Jesus have to say about this? His faith is the only thing that saves - and it is absolutely for you. [Rob Densmore preaches on Romans 3:19-26].

David and Shelley Stokes are Christian missionaries who have committed their life's work to working alongside native communities in Argentina. The Stokes are now soon to retire from their calling, but not before David leaves one final challenge for the church. John 12:20-33

The Holy Spirit wants access to your life. But the Spirit of Jesus is not going to force his way in. He wants your 'yes' before he changes anything. Faith is voluntaristic, but not individualistic. When we say 'yes' to Him, we agree to be part of His team, to serve the the body of Christ, to put ourselves last if need be. Funny enough, this is His plan for you to get through the Crucible - whatever yours may be. (Rob Densmore on Acts 2:1-40)

Belinda Thomas reveals the truth about God's deep interest in the lives of random strangers. As church, we often gravitate towards our own kind; or we may be fearful of bringing the good news to complete strangers. But the story of Jonah is full proof evidence of God's command for us to reach out - even to those whom we feel are beyond his love. (Jonah 3:1-10, 4:1)

Jesus Christ has set before each of us the opportunity to journey with him. Sometimes it is not easy, but the transformation is always real and always necessary. For inspiration, we need only look to Jesus on the cross, who took on the sin of the world in order to win your heart. Based on 2 Chronicles 7:14 - talk by Rachel Howlett.

When you pray for Disciple Zero, that individual may be the very person that Jesus wants to use to start a revolution. They may never be famous, they may never be star quality ... but often times it's these people whom Jesus wants to bring to faith - in order to bring others to faith. Who is the Disciple Zero in your life? And when will you start praying for them to come to believe? Based on John 3:16-21 - talk by Rob Densmore.

To career Christians, being 'born again' can feel freighted with negative connotations. Maybe it makes us think of people we'd really rather not be like. But taking Jesus' story at face value unlocks an important truth about what being born again means. Rather than being someone else, we are being who God made us to be (which looks different one person to the next). Most importantly, we are entering the vivid colourful world of the Holy Spirit in all His fullness - something Jesus Christ really desires for us.

Jesus confronts the stages of his own grief, lives them, breathes them, and wrestles with them. All of this has to come before acceptance. Jesus perfects acceptance, but we often struggle. Sometimes we struggle to accept things in our personal lives; sometimes we struggle to accept things in church life. This shared life is not about sweeping the past under the rug; it is about facing our challenges with honesty and integrity as we journey to the cross.

Why is it that we are always looking to prove our worth to God (and maybe a little bit to others, as well)? The Spirit of Jesus calls before he qualifies - this is the promise of God's wisdom, and God's intelligence. Rachel Howlett unpacks what it really means to be 'called' in today's church.

Belinda Thomas shares the ground breaking truth of Easter. Is this just another historical event or is this the hinge around which your life will turn in a bold new direction? We are emerging from a season of hardship, but hope for the future is here now - and on offer for everyone. Even (and especially) you.
