‘The question isn’t whether Jesus is LORD of all the earth or not. The question is: ‘To what extent do we recognise Him as Lord of all the earth, which includes Lord of YOU?’

‘To what extent have we embraced a limitless, passionate, don’t care what anyone else thinks, not bothered if it makes people feel uncomfortable, devotion to Jesus?’

‘The foundation of mature trust is not trusting the other person won’t hurt us, but rather trusting that whatever happens; i’ll trust Jesus in it.’

'Formless, empty, dark... but the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters...' Anca shares an inspired word from her time with the Lord. As she gave Him space to speak, here is what she heard.

‘What does it mean to TRUST God? Perhaps it means to trust that He is working in you to make you more like Jesus’

‘trust doesnt take time, trust must be BUILT which takes effort, vulnerability, honesty and sacrifice’

‘If kingdom foundations are laid, demolition isn't needed to build back better...' Adam uses Paul's prayer bulletins as a launch pad. He asks important questions about our relationships with Jesus, Father, and the Spirit, and encourages our kingdom growth at this time.’

'FAITH is getting out of the boat. TRUST is being able to sleep in the midst of the storm' Anca follows Adam's teaching from the previous Sunday, and shares some practical insight into how we can grow our trust in the right place.

'Trust is different to faith. Trust is resting in the Father... Faith is moving in the Father; directing the Power.'

We believe there is new life in the womb of God that we can begin to perceive, protect and have the faith to bring forth. Adam shares about why it's so hard right now, and how to face each day with hope.

Adam explores some of the things that we might need to do to enter into rest, and how we might need to journey in seeing Jesus as He REALLY is...

What will it take to encounter God ways you never have before? If we want to see things we have never seen before, we can't do the same things we've always done... Will we go with Him to the other side?

'We have to learn to rest in Him, be in Him and live in and out of Him; find our source in Him.'

How do we get through this year? How do we find peace in the windstorm? Can we make it to the other side? Paul shares a word to launch us into 2021 that is both deeply comforting, and deeply spirit-stirring. Don't miss this!

No more ‘missed moments’. From courtrooms and classrooms to the spontaneous moment you might be missing... Anca and Phil pull from their experiences about how we can all learn to share our testimony so people will really listen!

'Not even the perfect meal, the perfect gifts... none of it can make a truly great Christmas, unless Christ is born afresh in us.'

How do you discover who you really are? Paul shares a wealth of truth about us all, and how what we're going through parallels the story of a group of friends a long time ago. Even though things look bleak, it is possible to join with Jesus and reframe your future.

‘When things are exposed in HIS light it is not for shame, guilt or fear.. it is for REDEMPTION & RESTORATION’ Anca shares the heart with which Jesus brings light into the darkness, and how there are different stages to that journey if we choose to let His light in...

Wherever you are, but especially if you are weary and feel like hiding away, God’s word to you is “The LORD is with you mighty warrior”

'In everything you go through, God is trying to build His Kingdom IN YOU.'
