Remember, Celebrate & Proclaim

Who is the most influential person in all of known history? "All these scriptures testify of Me," he told the skeptics. Angels rejoiced, shepherds notified, wise men worshipped and prophecy fulfilled. But, that's only part of the story!

Our Identity in Jesus Christ

At the heart of consciousness lies our identity, which is perhaps the most important thing about us. Who are you looking out from behind your eyes? Is there any reason to believe in the transcendent - that life has meaning, purpose and identity? 40 min. #949

Messageweek Ministries

The Search for Identity

Who or what defines us? Race, colour, gender, work, education, wealth, power or prestige? Identity is without question the most important aspect of our consciousness. 32 min. #948

Apocalypse, Armageddon & Alleluia

Are we the generation on the cusp of these prophetic, end-time utterances? Or more importantly, in these broad brushstrokes of Jesus' revelation, do we perceive and cherish the redemptive message of deliverance and salvation?

How is Your Garden? (Sermon)

Definitely not about gardening or horticulture, but the metaphor of our lives and who we are can be compared to either "good fruit" or "weeds". 39 min. #946b

Messageweek Ministries

How is Your Garden?

The metaphor of our lives and who we are can be compared to either "good fruit" or "weeds". What about the seeds of noxious weeds that are blown about everywhere and so easily take root? How can our participation and cultivation make any difference? 23 min. #946

Equipped for Mission

Central to the Biblical geographical narrative is the city of Jerusalem. But more than that, that's from where mission apparently starts, and to genuinely understand its significance is yet another motivating factor in mission.

Precious & Very Great Promises

The promise of eternal life is the centre-piece of our new identity in Christ Jesus. As legitimate heirs, these exceedingly great and precious promises are uttered in Jesus' name, underwritten by the blood of the slain Lamb, and sealed by the Holy Spirit. 26 min. #940

Messageweek Ministries

On That Day!

Much of the Biblical narrative centres and emanates from Jerusalem. From the barbarism and hatred we're seeing on the news today, are you ready for "that day" - the great and terrible "day of the LORD?" 17 min. #939

Messageweek Ministries

World on the brink of war

Last week we witnessed the brutal savagery of Hamas militants murderer, torture and rape hundreds of Israeli civilians. The outrage continues; it's hard to imagine an end-game outside of prophesied Biblical narrative! 27 min. #938

Blessed are the Peacemakers

Many have an uneasy relationship with peace. We're ashamed of our tendency toward war, yet proud that we will fight for the things we believe in deeply enough. We're all for peace in principle; it's peace in practice that's so hard to grasp. 26 min. #936

Do you work too hard? Or, do you work at all? And, how important is rest?

4 min. #928

Messageweek Ministries

The Poor in Spirit

The Sermon on the Mount, beginning with the Beatitudes is essentially Jesus' instruction manual for discipleship. "Blessed are the poor in spirit," is then a first necessary step to honestly admitting self-sufficient failure and the need for divine help. 24 min. #927

The Light Shines...

There are only two paths in this life. The narrow path to Jesus where we know Him as Lord and Saviour, or a dark and deceptive broad path away from Jesus - only to meet Him as Judge! 33 min. #926

Following Jesus

What are some of the characteristic traits of an authentic follower of Jesus? 27 min. #925

Messageweek Ministries

Suffering for Righteousness

"Crucify him, crucify him," cried the maddened crowd, before Jesus then spent the next six torturous hours crucified with nails in his hands and feet pinning him to that cross, and finally a spear thrust to his side! For us to then adequately receive and believe in Jesus, we must also accept his sufferings in his willing sacrifice for our sins. What does that then really mean for you and me? 33 min. #924

Messageweek Ministries

Three Questions Jesus Asks

We see a loving, gracious God. In asking a question, God engages us. He prompts us to “think it through”. Jesus also used the power of the question to engage His disciples.

Come to Me - Jesus

If we are not in Christ, if we don’t receive Him, if we don’t believe Him, if we don’t learn from Him and obey Him, we become slaves to sin, self and Satan. 28 min. #918

The Spirit of Babel

Clothed in Righteousness

No longer "naked", riddled with sin, guilt and cover-up! No longer vulnerable to sin, self, the influences of the world, or at risk of manipulation and devilish deception. Because of Christ's sacrifice and the ensuing gift of the Holy Spirit, we have become a new creation, dressed in the garments of righteousness and praise! 20 min. #915

Messageweek Ministries

Tested and Rested

Those who testify to really believing and living in the transcendent truth that God is, and thus model their lives accordingly, God nonetheless verifies or tests them for that belief. Did you know that every test is individually and carefully crafted to suit us exactly? 24 min. #914

Messageweek Ministries

Legalism & Licentiousness

Obedience is not to earn our salvation merit with God, but as a genuine response to God’s amazing grace towards us. Nonetheless, know that the world will condemn you, the devil will accuse you, and your religious friends may leave you. Jesus never will! 22 min. #913

Messageweek Ministries

In Mary's Footsteps

Peter ran because he believed. His fellow disciple John ran because he also believed. But the rest of the disciples didn't; they simply trivialised their sisters' testimony. Discover the powerful lesson that speaks to us from across two millennia! 30 min. #912

Messageweek Ministries

The Goodness of God

Unless we understand and fully embrace the goodness of God, the loving and kind nature of our Heavenly Father, we too will be angry and depressed, living a joyless life. God is good - He is intrinsically GOOD! 30 min. #911

Articulate in Speech

Knowing what to say, when and how to say it at the right time is absolutely essential and non-negotiable. The spoken word is perhaps the most powerful cognitive utility we have!
13 min. #906

Messageweek Ministries

The Bread of Life

The tragedy was that everyone knew he was innocent. Everyone knew he had healed the sick, raised the dead, cast our demons and given sight to the blind. Moreover, he was betrayed and then denied by two of his followers, and his life exchanged for that of a known criminal. Everyone knew that this was an egregious injustice. 25 min. #905

Messageweek Ministries

The Impostor Syndrome

Impostor syndrome is the negative whisper that we are less than we could be, and worse than we are. It will always exist when we’re outside God’s transcendent grace and truth.

The Truth...

“I hooked a fish this big,” said the weekend fisherman with outstretched arms, before bringing his hands closer together to reveal the actual size of the tiny minnow he had caught.

Cup of the Eternal Covenant

Why is it necessary to have a covenant relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ? Covenant is fundamental and foundational to relationships at all different levels. The highest transcendent form is symbolised by the "cup", and transacted by a supreme act of self sacrifice to accomplish and fulfill the divine redemptive plan. 27 min. #902

Biblical Prophecy

The end of this age and Christ's return may be nearer than we think, but there is also a great danger with an overt preoccupation with eschatology (end time events).
42 min. #901

Messageweek Ministries

Extra-Biblical Days

The disparities that existed in the first century Christian churches still persist 2000 years later. God tells us acceptable ways to worship Him in holiness, truth and purity, and yet pagan practices have been inculcated into Christian practice.

Standing in the Gap

In an age governed by situational ethics and the subjectivity of woke ideology, Godly men need to be governed by the Truth of Scripture. God's Word, written and personified, is our ultimate point of reference and moral compass. 48 min. #898

Messageweek Ministries

Sowing, Watering, Reaping

We explore the calling and gifting already given to us. Are we here because someone else's faith preceded ours? May we therefore do what we can, where we are, with what we already have! 33 min. #897

Messageweek Ministries

Stewardship

We are not owners, but we have been entrusted with "stewardship" as fellow workers and helpers of our collective joy. What does "voluntary giving that is not optional" play out in our day to day activities? 26 min. #896

Messageweek Ministries

Military Warfare

As a result - not a cause - of redemption, believers should regard participation in physical warfare as contrary to a Christian's humanitarian calling. 17 min. #895

Messageweek Ministries

The Open Door

Every day, moment by moment, we make conscious choices between good and bad, light and dark, truth and deceit. But, in the end, we don't have to be defined by our past mistakes and sinfulness. We can change and experience redemption. It's our choice! 7 min. #894

Instead of giving as a legal obligation, believers now give tithes and offerings in recognition of God's ownership of all things and in gratitude for his marvellous love and bountiful blessings. 22 min. #892

Christian Living (Part 2)

Evils in the spirit, like envy and covetousness, demand satisfaction and material possessions, as opposed to covenant relationship with and experiencing sufficiency in Christ.

27 min. #888

Messageweek Ministries

The Sabbath

The gift of Sabbath rest is not irrelevant for Christians under the new covenant gospel; in fact, our willingness to obey God's commandments is a measure of our love for Christ!
24 min. #887

Messageweek Ministries

The Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments were known and obeyed by faithful people long before the law was delivered to by Moses to ancient Israel. Implicit as they were before the Sinaitic covenant, people were still accountable to God's righteous standards of morally right behaviour. 34 min. #886
