In “Sowing for the Seasons” Charlotte explores the metaphor of seeds and seasons to present the idea that God gives us seed that is specific for the season we are in.

She encourages us to value that seed and the season and sow the seed at the right time so we can make the most of the opportunities in front of us.

There are things we can only do in the season we’re in right now - this place with these people. 

Seed is sown months before the harvest, we don’t sow to see a harvest now but we sow in obedience to God and wait with hope for the harvest. 

May you be encouraged and strengthened to recognise, value and steward your seed and your season.

The Scriptures are full of exhortation to persevere - stand firm, don’t give up, do not grow weary. 

In this short message in our series on Sowing & Reaping, Rob shares some thoughts from Galatians 6 on why we sometimes grow weary doing good, and how to resist the temptation to give up.

Phil Mason presents a grace-based paradigm of giving that reflects the grace theology of sowing and reaping. 

Heaven’s economy is established exclusively upon giving. The more we sow, the more we reap. Conversely, the less we sow, the less we reap. 

Under the reign of grace we are invited to experiment and put this approach to the test. 

(NLT) “If you do,” says the Lord, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!” 

(Malachi 3:10 NLT) This is the best deal going! All we need to do is switch over to heaven’s economy by allowing the Lord to establish His heart of generosity in us.

Everything in our lives rises and falls on our capacity to know that God is good, and that we can learn to receive His love, more and more! There is no limit to the amount of His love that you can receive! On this Father's Day, Maria brings a key message about learning to receive the Father’s love.

However, receiving love can feel very complicated, especially God's love, as it is unconditional and requires nothing in return. Maria shares two key weapons in not being deterred from your deeper journey with the Father- our righteousness in Him and our sonship with Him.  We are qualified to receive all the benefits of His glorious love when we activate these keys.

Nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8). 

It’s all yours, and He wants to teach you again and again how to be great at receiving it! Letting the deep love of the Father in, will displace three core lies that the devil works with: I am unworthy, I am not loved, and I am not enough! The perfect love of God is designed to displace each of these lies over and over - not just once! 

Friends, there is more! Not only do you get the benefits of love, but you also get five keys of life: identity, purpose, passion, security and singular vision! This is gold, and it's all for free as you press into the glorious love of the Father! His Hesed love is for us and will carry us to deeper love!

The Prayer of Examen: How to Find God in Your Everyday Life

In this episode, Roma Waterman teaches on the ancient practice of the Prayer of Examen—a simple daily way to notice God’s presence, reflect on the movements of your heart, and receive fresh grace for tomorrow. 

Rooted in the wisdom of St. Ignatius, this 10-minute message will guide you step by step through the five movements of the Examen and show you how to make it a life-giving rhythm in your walk with Jesus.

Do you ever feel like your faithfulness in the small, unseen moments goes unnoticed?

In this message Dan Harbottle, Senior Leader at Glorify Church, shares a timely prophetic word for every believer.

Discover how God sees and rewards your secret faithfulness, what it means to release the "Sound of Hesed" (His steadfast love), and how you can receive a fresh anointing of joy and strength for your journey. 

This message is an invitation to trade weariness for His power and step into the public breakthrough that your private devotion has been building.

In our third message in the Sowing and Reaping Sunday series, Joe  reminds us of the ultimate call on a believer's life, a reframe of who Christ is looking to spend eternity with. God is preparing a bride spotless and white, for Jesus, the only one who is worthy. 

The price to choose Jesus is high and uncomfortable, it is an act that calls us to break ourselves to The One who broke first for us. The true essence of our walk with Jesus does not end with our mortal existence, but an opportunity to develop a deeper intimacy with Jesus, as the lady who broke the alabaster jar found out, having Jesus as the focus of our adoration and purpose, brings to surface all the noise surrounding life, ministry and faith. 

The question asked is do we seek Jesus for him or what he can provide? The seed of intimacy has eternity as its timeline.

In this second message in our Sowing and Reaping Sunday series, Rosie invites us into the mystery of the Hidden Seed, a life surrendered to the deep, unseen work of God. At the heart of this message is the revelation that God is a sower and he is always sowing. He sows His Life, His Word, His Spirit, and His purposes into our lives and into the soil of our hearts. 

As we respond in the secret place, we become seeds in His hand, buried, broken open, and prepared for a harvest only He can bring. This is not a passive process, but a divine partnership that leads to lasting fruit. It is an invitation into the beauty of abiding, trusting, and letting God sow into and then through your life.

Phil Mason introduces this new series with a message that explains the relationship between the New Testament teaching on sowing and reaping and how this works within the framework of New Testament grace. 

All who are in Christ are “under grace,” yet we are told that the principle or law of sowing and reaping still very much applies. On the negative side of the ledger, if we sow to our old self life we reap corruption but on the positive side, God promises that when we sow to our new life in the Spirit we will assuredly reap a great harvest. 

The entire realm of sowing and reaping is a glorious invitation to take God at His word and see how tremendously we will reap in the Spirit if we are willing to sow our lives into the kingdom of God. 

Sowing and reaping applies in every arena of the Christian life. In this new series we will explore some of these fields of harvest that await those who sow and do not lose heart.

In this final session on spiritual warfare, Phil Mason took his audience on a journey of exploring the skills of defensive warfare. We are always engaged in spiritual warfare because the devil doesn’t go on holiday. 

To become ‘more than a conqueror’ and an overcomer, we must avail ourselves of the full protective gear God provides for us as we step onto the battlefield. Every piece of spiritual armour contributes to our complete protection from everything the powers of darkness throw at us. 

Understanding the significance of each piece of armour referenced in Ephesians 6 informs us of the nature of the battle we are facing. This is essential equipping for every follower of Christ. We hope you have enjoyed this series!
