I will be exalted in the earth!” ⁣ ⁣ Let you Prayer Focus be for our medical and healthcare professionals, for doctors, nurses, and all those involved in frontline patient care. Pray also for hospital support staff and for care workers serving in our communities. Pray for laboratory staff and all those scientists involved in collecting, modelling and analysing the data concerning this virus, including the World Health Organisation.

1 Timothy 2:1-2 “I urge then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” What comes in through our eyes and ears is so important. To counter fear, anxiety and mistrust let’s be those who turn first to God. Let’s also “fight with Scripture for the victory that Jesus has already purchased.” (Bill Johnson, Bethel Church, Redding) Let your Prayer Focus be for our Government, national and regional leaders, public health officers, and the Civil Service.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.” Today, let’s lift our eyes and ears away from the wall-to-wall media coverage of the virus and let conscious acts of thanksgiving, praise and prayer, re-focus, strengthen and refresh us! What comes in through our eyes and ears is so important. To counter fear, anxiety and mistrust let’s be those who turn first to God. Let’s also “fight with Scripture for the victory that Jesus has already purchased.” (Bill Johnson) Let your Prayer Focus be your family, friends, workplace, study and neighbourhood communities. Be specific and name individuals before the Lord. Ask Him what He is doing in their lives during this season and how you can partner with Him in this. Give your concerns for your own #health to Him too. Remember that “His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you. You can run under his covering of majesty and hide. His arms of faithfulness are a shield

Using the present reality of the COVID-19 epidemic, Mark Kelly gives us some suggestions and directions to help us work through worry and anxiety, not only around the issue we’re currently facing, but our lives in general.

As God’s faithful people we are on a journey to fulfil the plans He has for us. In this sermon, David Lavery encourages us not to settle on the way but to keep moving forward towards what God has shown and promised us.

Pat Gray examines the intriguing and encouraging New Testament character of Barnabas.

Darrell Tunningley brings a very challenging message about reaching out to those who don’t yet know Jesus.

Jesus died for us to bring change and renewal into our lives and into the life of his church. Let’s make it our prayer, “Lord, change our hearts to go where you are leading us”. A Christian life should be a life of regular change - a willingness to change direction, to adapt, or even create change.

God wants to take us on a journey of healing and wholeness.

The truth of who we are is ultimately found in Jesus Christ. We are only complete when we are at one with Him, in a deeply profound and life changing relationship. In fact, we can only fully realise our potential in that divine connection.

Truth is fundamental to our faith. Knowing we have a bedrock of truth, and that we’re not swaying to and fro in the wind with the next trendy spiritual idea, is what encourages our faith.

After a little pause over the last 4 weeks, Stu Allan kicks off our adventure through Colossians once again.

Geoff Newton brings a sermon with a message full of love and acceptance... and a happy God!

Life is like running a marathon! The start of something is fun, exciting and we’re full of enthusiasm for the journey ahead. But it takes faithfulness to stay the course and cross the finish line. Living faithfully comes as a result of the work of the Holy Spirit in us and as a response to our relationship with the One who is faithful.

John Casey shares a story of love by opening up more verses from the book of Colossians.

When we accept the salvation call of Jesus, it’s not just about guaranteeing our place in a heavenly realm, but it’s really about the here and now and the dismissing of the rulership of satan and the demonic and accepting the rule and reign of Christ over our lives from the moment we say yes to Him.

Stu Allan continues our journey through the Word of God by starting an exciting adventure exploring Colossians, verse by verse!

Mark Kelly begins our journey through the Bible by offering up practical ways in which we can engage with it.

Dr. John Mastrogiovanni brings us a challenging yet encouraging message.

This is a message of absolute assurance in the goodness of God, and that despite the circumstances, indeed because of the circumstances, we can overcome every obstacle.
