An Effective Witness
Have you ever wanted to be effective when sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. Truth is we carry more life changing information in us than we many times realise. God has given us everything we need, we just need to be bold and speak it out. Let God do the rest.
My Happy Place
Most people try and escape to their happy place, but its only in their minds. Imagine if your happy place could be a reality, a location that you could visit any time you wanted. As Christians we have Jesus Christ in our hearts and at work in out lives, this gives us the confidence that as long as he is in our lives we can live in our happy place.
When Worlds Collide
There has always been a war raging in the heart of man, this war is between our lower nature and the desire to do the will of God. Jesus said, you can't serve two masters, therefore, the question is, which desire will you allow to rule and reign in your life. God will never force you to serve him, but you will regret it if you don't. What God has for you far outweighs the things of this world, choose Jesus, choose life.
Search and Rescue
Ever wanted to be a part of something bigger and greater than you? Well this is exactly what the kingdom of heaven is offering you, a chance to change the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The only qualifier after salvation is a willing and obedient heart. What will you choose to do today can alter your destiny.
Burying an Empty Coffin
Have you ever thought that you had buried old things of the past, whether character flaws, violations or traumatic experiences, only to have them resurface once again, causing you to relive them again? The devil loves nothing more than to keep you in these moments of trauma, to stop you from ever moving forward. With Jesus' help we can bury them and He will help us to move forward in our lives.
The Glory of God
Since the dawn of time, the works of darkness have tried to corrupt the glory of God. From the first question the serpent asked, questioning the integrity of God, till today. Yet we know truth will always prevail and Gods glory will shine through the darkness. It's through the power of Jesus every forms of works of darkness must flee and you and I can live in dominion.

A Mother's Love
There is no denying, a mothers love is unique and special
Compassion
Despite us being vocal about the real God that we serve, there are still aspects of God that we really don't comprehend. That aspect of God is compassion. How can a perfect God care and move on behalf of people that can continually disappoint Him? Our scripture reveals our God is full of compassion, that's who he is.
Staying Grounded
In everyone of us is the desire to be seen and recognised. That was the motivating mindset behind the construction of the tower of Babel. The fact is, its God who promotes, God who elevates, we were created to follow. For those who are willing to submit to that reality, become great instruments for the kingdom of heaven.
What's Missing?
Have you ever felt like, there is a piece of a puzzle in your life that is missing? We have all felt that at some point in our lives, in fact missing something is very common everyday. The hope we find in Jesus, is that he completes every part of our lives.
Remembrance
Our lives are all impacted by the people who have gone before us, laying down their lives for our freedom. It's one thing to do it for people and a place that you love but what if those people don't reciprocate the same feelings. Our Lord Jesus Christ was a willing sacrifice His life for all mankind, including those who despised him. That love!
God the Healer
Get Connected
We are living in a generation of connection. Very rarely are we disconnected. Yet the same isn't true about our spiritual state. Many times we can fall into the habit of doing things, with out any thought process behind it. Our challenge is to stay connected so we don't miss out on what God wants us to hear.
Holdfast
What or who do you turn to when faced with a trial in life. The word holdfast carries a profound imagery and meaning. What we have to recognise is that God is always moving and its our responsibility to actively pursue God. If we are ever going to experience all the blessings and miracles that only God can provide it will take us striving to be where He is, never the other way around.
Only one God
With the vast growth in our population, there has been a rapid growth in different of beliefs. The question that can be brought up regularly is, who is right? What separates our God from any other is the reality that he is omnipresent. All places at all times. What makes Him worthy of continual praise is His ability to answer our prayers. Our challenge comes when we, instead of working towards accomplishing His will, we try to force the hand of God to accomplish our selfish will. Those who try this do this to their own peril. David, through his actions attracted the presence of God, allowing him to continue to live in Gods perfect will.
