Your time of public revealing is coming faster than you have time to prepare for. David didn’t have a title, polish, or pedigree—just obedience in obscurity. Overlooked, underdressed, and fresh off the fields, yet God said: “Arise, anoint him!” What looked like lack was actually training. Lions and bears weren’t just wild—they were warm-ups. He didn’t look like a king, but he had a king’s heart. This isn’t about being ready in the eyes of man—it’s about being seen by God. You may feel unqualified, but heaven sees oil where others see dirt. When the Spirit comes upon you, what’s in you gets activated. Rise not in your own strength. This is by His Spirit. God doesn’t anoint based on appearance, He anoints based on and for assignment. The oil is for your opposition—and your elevation. You’ve been hidden long enough. It’s time to rise.

In 1951, Irving Gordon penned Unforgettable—a simple love song made legendary by Nat King Cole. Not flashy, not complex. Just pure, timeless, and sincere. Pastor Mike informs us that that’s Peter’s point in 1 Peter 3: true beauty isn’t what fades—it’s what lasts. In a world chasing status, style, and surface. As a part of our Single Seminar with the Enfield Church, Pastor Mike reminds us that what truly captivates and keeps someone isn’t the drip or the gold—it’s character.

Outward attraction fades. But unfading beauty? That’s rare. That’s unforgettable. Like Abigail with David, people of depth leave lasting impressions. Inner strength, quiet confidence, purity of spirit—those are the real carats of Kingdom value. You want to be unforgettable in the right way? Then stay ready. Let God develop in you what doesn’t age or spoil—qualities that don’t just turn heads but change lives. That’s what makes you stand out in the jungle. That’s what makes you unforgettable.

May this be a message you don't forget.

It's Baptism Sunday at hackneyph.church. And Pastor Mike takes us to Acts 8, where we meet an Ethiopian official returning from Jerusalem, spiritually curious and unknowingly being drawn by God. As the gospel is explained, the eunuch believes and is baptised—declaring a new citizenship in Heaven.

Just like N.W.A’s “Straight Outta Compton” shaped identity, this eunuch leaves the water Straight Outta the Kingdom. Baptism wasn’t just ritual—it was a public statement: “I now belong to Jesus.”

He didn’t buy his citizenship; Jesus paid for it. This is what Heaven’s citizenship offers—forgiveness, freedom, purpose. It starts with being drawn by God and ends with a life repping His Kingdom.

Question is: Will you come Straight Outta the Water and into the life God has for you?

May this speak to you just as if you were there.

Las Vegas is called Sin City for good reason—built on indulgence, excess, and escape. But it’s not just a modern problem. In Genesis 11, humanity built Babel, trying to reach heaven without God. The issue wasn’t just a tower—it was the insecurity and rebellion driving it: “Let us make a name for ourselves.” Like bricks baked from dust, they built from brokenness, not trust.

We still do this—constructing lives without God, driven by fear, shame, and desire. Nimrod led Babel; today’s Sin Cities are led by the same spirit: pride, lust, and self-sufficiency. But God interrupted Babel, scattering the people. Not for punishment, but protection. He had a better plan—Abraham, then Jesus, and now the Church—a City on a Hill.

God calls us out of Sin City into His Kingdom. Not bricks and mortar, but living stones. From lost identity to holy purpose. From vice to vision. From collapse to calling. From Sin City to Zion.

We hope this message ministers to you.

Many know the Lord’s Prayer, which cries out for God’s Kingdom to come on earth. But how does that actually happen? In Matthew 16:13–19, Jesus tells Peter, “I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.” These keys symbolize authority—a delegated, judicial power from God to His people. Just as keys give access, the authority Jesus gives allows believers to bind what’s illegitimate and loose what’s legitimate in both the spiritual and natural realms.

This authority only works in right relationship with Jesus, the true Messiah and Son of God. Without that relationship, we’re powerless. But with Jesus, we can unlock peace, freedom, and victory in areas of our lives plagued by darkness, addiction, or fear. The Kingdom comes not just in theory, but in practice, when believers act with the authority already granted from Heaven. The question is: Will you use the keys?

We hope this message blesses you

Sometimes we wonder why we feel like we're being blocked in life, or why prayers aren't being answered. It doesn't have to be for things that are sin! It's not always about that. Sometimes, even with things that seem good, just, or right there's a blockage. Why?

In our SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE service, Pastor Mike causes us to examine the idea of Divine Diversions, and explore the potential reasons as to why God would block things from happening.

As we present this to you, we hope it closes some gaps in your understanding.

Be blessed!

Cities are to be prominent and an attractive place, full of promise; a place of dreams. 

In our new SUNDAY SERVICE preaching series, our first episode focuses on the church as the "city on a hill" that Jesus describes in Matthew 5:11. 

Pastor Mike takes us through scripture to help us understand the importance of this idea, because it's meant to be a blessing to the whole world.

We hope it blesses you as you listen.

When tragedy or dark seasons occur, or even when life just happens upon us, we can become very nearsighted, focusing on the issue or problem, whatever is immediately before us. It becomes very hard to see beyond that! We struggle to see what else could be happening, which can make us miss the good or the hope that is before us.

In our Easter SUNDAY SERVICE, Pastor Mike brings the reality of Resurrection Power to right where we live to help us experience life where there is death and vision where there seems to be a lack of it.

We hope this message encourages you.

According to tradition, it was around this time (a Wednesday night) where a deal was done, that changed humanity forever, whilst effectively sealing one man's fate. One deal, where a price was set. We all have a price; and the devil is willing to pay it. 

What Pastor Mike covers our CONNECT Service message, however, we don't determine what we pay, and within the price there are hidden charges and we end up on the hook. 

We hope this message serves you well.
