Concluding our mini talk-series, Treasure, we look at Jesus’ command to store up treasures in Heaven, asking the question, what does this look like?  Rather than a transaction devoid of relationship, we see how our giving positions reveal our heart for God and signal our devotion to Him.  And in response, He reveals His heart to us through His blessings.

In this mini two-part series, Mark asks the question, 'Where is your treasure?'. As we look at the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:20-21, we discover that where are treasure is, our heart is also. As Jesus challenges us that we cannot serve both money and God, Mark looks at 4 indicators of serving money.

We’ve all done it. We’re going about life and suddenly something cuts us. Do you ignore it? Of course not, we look for what cut us, and it changes the way we live. But what happens when something cuts us to the heart?

Following the REVEALED series, we take time to listen to how Jesus has revealed himself through the testimonies of our church family. In this short talk, Mark looks at why we give time for testimonies and 3 key points as to why our testimonies have power.

Guest speaker, Zeke Rink from the Vineyard’s national youth network, speaks about how God is longing to ‘see a generation of young people meet Jesus and fearlessly follow Him’. He also shared how, Dreaming the Impossible (DTI), national youth festival, is being transformed as part of that vision. In alignment with that we also introduced, interviewed and prayed for our new youth pastor, Henry and his wife Rachel.

On this Pentecost Sunday, and in the concluding talk of the series, we look at our final name, the name which is above every name, the name of Jesus. As Jesus has revealed the name of the Father, so we are called to reveal the name of Jesus. How? Through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Abba, is a name used by Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane reflecting his intimacy with his Father. Denise unravels the story and how we are invited to have the same intimacy and relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ.

‘The Lord is There’ is a name mentioned just once in scripture, but with very significant timing… Israel was in a mess, Jerusalem had been ransacked, the Temple was in ruins and the people were in captivity.  It’s at that time God, reveals He is right there to rescue and restore them to a relationship with Him that’s far beyond their expectations.

As we continue to look at how God reveals himself as the ‘LORD who heals’, using stories of God healing from the previous week, we look at the power of ‘Testimony’ and ‘Words of Knowledge’ to build our faith for healing.

Summary: Does God heal today? As God reveals himself as the ‘LORD who heals’, we discover that Jesus has made our healing possible and that by His Holy Spirit, we can pray for the sick just as did Jesus did.
