Paul explains how Adam and Eve created a very different future from the one in God's imagination, and that God wants to use us, our past (good/bad/ugly), to shape His future. "When our hearts and minds are aligned with God's heart and mind, the future is wide open for incredible possibilities."

In this episode, Paul Edy and Joshua Marais talk church production and worship, covering topics such as why we bother with lights/sound/big bands, relationships between sound/tech and worship teams, as well as offering practical tips around worship and production.

Ashley continues to teach the Jesus story, pulling us back to the centrality of Jesus, the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

The Love Our City “What Moves You?” campaign looks at how we as the NCCB community can move with compassion. The aim is to engage and equip individuals on our campus with a lifestyle of living for the benefit of others. Archbishop Tutu captured it best when he said “Compassion is not just a benevolent feeling but seeking to change the situation. Frequently people think compassion and love are merely sentimental. No! They are very demanding. If you are going to be compassionate, be prepared for action!” We see in the scriptures a call to justice, a call to move with compassion and not just have that tugging of the heart, but to let it trigger action.

Movies and TV have a massive microphone of influence on our culture today, often drowning out messages of faith with the world's agenda. In this workshop, we will be exploring story construction, thematic language and a basic idea of narrative structure through the lens of modern faith-based storytelling. Married couple Carine and Luke Rous have been active in the film and TV industry in South Africa for 15 years. Carine is a SAFTA award-winning actress (best actress in a comedy 2018) while Luke has produced over 300 hours of prime-time content. They were part of the team who pioneered the short film-making competition “The Good Story” in their local church community, and their love for storytelling is something they are excited to share.

Are you struggling to understand your dreams?

Most dreams are symbolic and this pop-up session will bring clarity on where your dreams come from and how to interpret the different symbols to bring understanding. We need both skill and revelation from the Holy Spirit to interpret our dreams and the Scriptures are foundational in this interpretative process. We will look at some examples of dreams and cover topics like the difference between visions and dreams, the structure of dreams, why the opening scene of a dream is important, how to handle warning dreams and dreams of dying and how important colours and numbers are in a dream. God is speaking to many of us through our dreams and has given us the ability to understand them. We can however miss what He is saying if we do not interpret the symbols correctly or have a wrong understanding of the process. If you are dreaming, then this session will bring clarity and help you hear God through your dreams.

There is no surprise in the immense and increasing usage and influence of social media platforms today. The narrative of social media has slowly become one of addiction, self-idolisation, instant gratification, and temporary trends. It is so easy to get lost in the endless scroll and fall into the pressure of finding the perfect hashtag, image, or caption to showcase the best parts of our life. We're all connected and yet as disconnected as we've ever been... But what if we have been called to shift the narrative and turn it upside down? What if social media could be the tool in our hands (literally and figuratively) to meet people where they are, spread the gospel to the ends of the earth and highlight an eternal trend available to everyone, everywhere? Let's explore how we can invert the narrative together and bring out the God colours on our screens. #ReelLife #JesusIsTheHighlight #What'sInYourHand?

“Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God colours in the world. God is not a secret to be kept, we're going public with this…” - Matthew 5:14 (MSG)

Blessing our cities and seeing them flourish is a call to justice. This is laid out in Proverbs 11:11; "When right-living people bless the city, it flourishes; evil talk turns it into a ghost town in no time." In this pop-up session, we shall explore this call: Firstly individually for us to be righteous and live right. Secondly and more broadly, where we bless our surroundings and impact the spaces we operate in. To do this the prophetic has to be operational in our lives. Recognizing that God has all of the answers and solutions to what is keeping our cities from flourishing and that he desires for us to hear his voice.

As believers, we have the privilege of being able to access supernatural insight as well as solutions for every situation we encounter. Why? Because as believers we carry Him into every situation we enter! This practical session will equip believers to understand more about this gift and how to grow and develop it further in their lives. Our heart is that we would become good stewards of what God is entrusting to us and carry breakthroughs into every situation we enter.

A conversation around the why and how of songwriting. From melody making to collaborative composition to lyrical landscaping. How to turn creative concepts into tangible products. We were created to worship our Creator, the only way we can be whole is to live in a relationship with Him.
