Empower
24/02/2019 Duration: 43minWhat enables our non-Christian loved ones to accept and believe the Gospel? How does someone experience the transformation of their worldview? How can flawed human beings ever seek to carry out God's work on the Earth? In this final installment of This Is Our Time, Pastor Donny Fisher shows us how Jesus answers all these questions for us through the person of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live out God's mission for the sake of those around us.

Equip
17/02/2019 Duration: 11minMinistry sounds like something that ministers do, but we can wrongly assume that ministers are only paid professionals, like pastors or church staff. In this sermon, Pastor Adam looks at Ephesians 4, where Paul describes how church leaders are meant to equip disciples for ministry. Leaders do the equipping and all followers of Jesus do the ministry.

Establish
10/02/2019 Duration: 37min"There was no king in those days, and everyone did what was right in his own eyes (Judges 21:25)." These words punctuate a horrific period in Israel's history, and yet, they also seem to parallel our modern world. How can we learn to practice true goodness when our world has so many different definitions of "good living?" In this sermon, Pastor Adam shows that it is only by being established in God's Word that humanity has any hope of escaping enslavement to our desires and the freedom to serve a truly good God.

Great Faith In The Mundane
13/01/2019 Duration: 24minThe Bible is filled with faith greats like Abraham, Noah, and Moses. It seems like they accomplished so much for God, and when we compare our faith to theirs, it seems impossible that we could ever measure up. Yet, as Campus and Youth Director Kevin McKenzie shows from the example of Enoch, trusting God with the mundane, everyday tasks of life looks exactly like great faith to the Father.
