The TREASURY

It's so easy to make decisions on impulse. Oftentimes it feels like the right thing to do; we feel a compulsion and we want to take decisive action.
But decisive action isn't effective when it doesn't deliver the desired results. Sometimes when we make impulse-driven decisions it can cost us dearly, but that's not what God would have for us.
In our CONNECT Service, Pastor Mike takes us to 1 Samuel and we look at the life of Saul so we can learn how such decisions can affect our lives.
We hope this helps you, and blesses you.

Sacrifice can almost come across as a bad word. In this generation of putting yourself first, it definitely seems like it's not something that is so readily embraced. Many feel that in sacrificing, they lose, and that doesn't serve them well. But what scripture teaches us is sacrifice brings life. 
This particular SUNDAY SERVICE was Remembrance Sunday and as we remembered and honoured the sacrifice of those who fought in the war, Pastor Mike also took us through scripture to highlight the blessing of sacrifice as a Kingdom distinctive.

We hope this message blesses you.

Action and reaction, cause and effect... these are natural forces that we accept and apply in our universe. We understand them to varying degrees and we embrace them, but to truly understand why things happen and how to maximise the good outcomes we desire we must first understand where these forces come from. Although some agree life would teach us that these forces are indeed laws, these laws are moral and they come from an intelligent Creator God and the Bible says it's Yahweh. 
Pastor Mike takes us through scripture to see that God's word is what frames our universe and it is His will that will uphold all things, but if we oppose His word, it cannot support us.
We hope those message provides much insight and is a blessing to you.

It can be easy to get comfortable, and we remain stuck in the same place. However, there are times when that place (that comfort zone) can soon become a place of great discomfort. We can feel like there are things opposing us, working against us - even squeezing us. But what is the lesson in those moments? What is God trying to communicate to us?
In our SUNDAY SERVICE, Pastor Mike explores one possible thought, and challenges us to GET UNCOMFORTABLE. 
What will you do? - We hope this message is a blessing to you.

Life can be very distracting. It makes sense, there are a lot of things that concern us. In the face of all of this, it's easy to lose sight of what's valuable. But many times life will reveal what we deem as valuable and that can be for positive or negative effect.
In this CONNECT Service Pastor Mike takes us to the book of 2 Kings as we explore the idea of "The Important Things". We look at the valuable lesson of valuing what's truly important.
We hope this message hits home with you.

God has emotions! Yes - That's right. God has emotions. We can see it all throughout scripture, and what is so encouraging is that He is a passionate God who cares greatly for those He created, especially those He's redeemed.
The problem is, do those in whom Christ is supposed to dwell and are supposed to be filled by His Spirit? Much of humanity's issues are likely found in the fact that there are too few people reflecting the heart of God one to another - It's one of the reasons why God takes issue with injustice in the OT.
In our SUNDAY SERVICE, Pastor Mike focuses in on God's passion for the lost specifically. He looks at how God's compassion goes out to those who are being beaten up by sin, this world and the devil... and how God's design is to share that burden with people who would go into action on the rescue effort.

We hope this message stirs you. Enjoy.

As we get further along in our life walks, we can find ourselves becoming increasingly distant and disconnected from people. Because we're tired or perhaps because we think we're okay we lose the value of social connection.
This is an issue in the Kingdom of God. Distance and having no real ties of consequence can leave us vulnerable in times of trouble. 
God created us as social creatures and, therefore, has placed us in families and communities because this is His will. The church is God's idea.
In our CONNECT Service, Pastor Mike takes us to the book of Judges, where we look at a scripture that could easily be overlooked but gives us some great insight.
We hope this message blesses you.

Baptism is often looked at as a moment or an event in the life of a believer. It's not very often that we think about baptism having a life-long implication beyond our testimony and our being baptised as an event. Could there be more to it than that? What does scripture say about it?
Pastor Mike takes us to the writings of the Apostle Paul to bring an argument that highlights a holistic view of baptism; the event, the life and the evidence. Is there still evidence of our baptism?

Have a listen and may God bless you as we invite you into our SUNDAY SERVICE with us.

It is easy to come to the conclusion that the limits we live with(in) are is the full extent of our realities. This doesn't provide much hope, when often times our desire is to live beyond restrictions, be it economically, relationally, even with what we have to offer.
The Holy Spirit wants to show us that our limits do not determine the extent of God's power through Christ. 
Pastor Mike takes us to a popular passage of scripture to help us understand what God is able to do if we would release what we have to Him.

We hope this message stirs your faith and encourages you.
