    Arise to worship 2 - A passionate Response - Ps Matt Wyatt

    You believe worship matters. So why is it so hard to fully enter in? In Part Two of ARISE: The Call to Worship, we get honest about something most of us have never stopped to examine — the conditions we quietly place on God before we'll respond to Him. If I feel like it. If I like the songs. If I don't look awkward. If God shows up. Sound familiar? Those aren't just preferences. They're terms. And it's time to drop them. Paul and Silas were flogged and chained in a prison cell at midnight — and they sang. Not because the conditions were right. Because they knew something about worship that changed everything. This message will show you what they knew. In this sermon we unpack: — The difference between a conditional worshipper and a passionate one — Why your voice in corporate worship is never just about you — What the throne room of heaven sounds like — and why your voice belongs in that sound — How Spirit-and-truth worship doesn't just express your faith — it grows it — The one question that will reframe why you walk through the doors on a Sunday This isn't about becoming a better singer. It's about becoming a surrendered one. He is worthy. That's enough. It's time to arise. ───────────────────────────── 📌 Missed Part One?  If this message lit something up in you, share it — someone in your world needs to hear it today.

    ARISE - THE CALL TO WORSHIP PART 1 - Ps Matt Wyatt

    What if you were never meant to sit on the sidelines of your own faith? In Part One of our brand new series ARISE: The Call to Worship, we open in 1 Peter 2 and discover something that changes everything — you are not a spectator. You are a living stone. And the God of the universe has been looking for a home in you. This message will challenge the way you think about worship, about why you gather, and about what is actually at stake when God's people come together with wholehearted hearts. Because here's the truth: the life of a church will only rise as high as its worship. And God is not looking for perfect singers — He is looking for surrendered hearts. In this sermon we unpack: — Why God has always been searching for a dwelling place on Earth — The epic biblical journey from Eden to the Church that puts YOU in the story — Why your worship is never just personal — it is part of something far bigger — What it means to be built together as a spiritual house for God's presence Whether you've been in church your whole life or you're just beginning to explore faith, this message will call you higher. You were made for this. It's time to arise. ───────────────────────────── 📌 PART TWO drops next week — don't miss it.

    ARISE TO THE WORD | How to Make the Bible Personal — Sam Wishart The Bible is the most purchased book in history. But for many of us, it can also be the most unopened.

    Arise to Shine with purpose - Matt Wyatt

    ARISE TO PURPOSE | Arise & Shine — Living the Life You Were Made For You were not made by accident. You were made on purpose, for a purpose. In this message, we dive into what God says about your life — not what you feel in your hardest season, but what the Creator of the universe declares over you. From Ephesians 2:10 to Isaiah 60:1, the Bible is clear: you are God's masterwork, designed with intention, wired with gifts, and called to shine. But here's the hard truth — you cannot fulfil your God-given purpose from the sidelines. Too many of us are waiting for the perfect moment, the right season, the ideal circumstances. Meanwhile, the candle God placed inside us is sitting under a basket. In this message we explore: Why you were designed on purpose, for a purpose What the apostle Paul's struggles teach us about staying the course How every area of your ordinary life can become an act of worship How your spiritual gifts are signposts to your calling Why the church grows when everyone carries something Whether you're in a season of doubt, burnout, or simply going through the motions — this message is your invitation to arise. 📖 Key Scriptures: Isaiah 60:1-3 · Matthew 5:14-16 · Ephesians 2:10 · Jeremiah 29:11 · 1 Corinthians 12 "Arise, shine, for your light has come." — Isaiah 60:1

    💛 Love Is Not a Strategy — It's the Point | Kellie Wishart, CEO of Carenet

    What if everything we've been calling "ministry strategy" is just love with a plan attached — and we've forgotten which one is supposed to lead? In this powerful message, Kellie Wishart, CEO of Carenet, challenges us to rethink how we show up in service, in leadership, and in community. Drawing from the heart of Scripture, Kellie reminds us that love isn't a tool we use to accomplish kingdom work — love is the kingdom work. When Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment was, He didn't hand us a framework. He gave us a posture. Love God. Love people. Everything hangs on this. Whether you're a ministry leader, a volunteer, or simply someone trying to figure out how faith shows up in daily life, this message will stir something in you — and maybe rearrange your priorities in the best possible way. 📖 Key Scripture: Matthew 22:37–40 | 1 Corinthians 13 | 1 John 4:19 In this sermon: - Why love must be the motive, not the method - The danger of building ministry around outcomes instead of people - What it looks like to lead, serve, and give from a place of genuine love - How Carenet's mission is rooted in the call to love unconditionally 🙏 If this message moved you, share it with someone who needs the reminder today. 🔔 Subscribe for more sermons, stories of faith, and encouragement from Carenet. 🌐 Visit us at www.manninghamcc.org Carenet exists because love is not a strategy — it's the point.

    ARISE TO PURPOSE | You Were Created On Purpose, For a Purpose - Ps Matt Wyatt

    Before you can step into your purpose — you need to know who is being called to arise. In this message, we unpack one of the most powerful truths in Scripture: that through faith in Jesus Christ, you have been begotten of God. Not a servant. Not a stranger. A child. An heir. And from that unshakeable identity, you are called to arise into the good works God prepared for you before you drew your first breath. This sermon covers: ✦ The biblical meaning of begotten — and why your true identity changes everything ✦ Why comfort is often the greatest enemy of a purposeful life (the hard truth nobody wants to hear) ✦ Two anchor truths from Scripture on purpose — and two practical action points to live them out this week ✦ A powerful real-life example from right here in Melbourne, Australia Key Scriptures: Ephesians 2:10 | John 1:12–13 | 1 John 3:1–2 | Galatians 4:7 | Jeremiah 29:11 | Romans 8:28 | Philippians 2:13 | Micah 6:8 You are not random. You are not accidental. You are God's handiwork — and today, you are invited to live like it.

    ARISE TO LOVE | Perfect Love Casts Out Fear — 1 John 4:18-19 - Ps Matt Wyatt

    ARISE TO LOVE | Perfect Love Casts Out Fear — 1 John 4:18-19 Is your relationship with God driven by love — or quietly controlled by fear? Fear that you're not doing enough. Fear that you've fallen too far. Fear that His love is somehow conditional on your performance. In this message, Ps Matt Wyatt at Manningham Christian Centre unpacks one of the most powerful declarations in all of Scripture: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear." (1 John 4:18-19) You'll discover why God is always the initiator and you are the respondent — and why getting that the wrong way around leads to an exhausting, works-based faith that was never meant for you. Ps Matt also confronts two hard truths that many Christians never face: ✦ Fear disguised as humility — and how it keeps you distant from God ✦ How fear silently poisons the way you love the people around you This sermon ends on one of the greatest identity declarations in the New Testament — Romans 8:15-17 — and the truth that you did not receive a spirit of bondage to fear, but the Spirit of adoption, by which you cry out: Abba, Father. You are not a slave trying to earn your place. You are a child who already belongs. Arise to Love. 📖 Scriptures: 1 John 4:18-19 | Romans 8:15-17 | 2 Timothy 1:7 | John 3:16 | 1 Corinthians 13 | Colossians 3:14 | Philippians 1:6 🏠 Manningham Christian Centre | Preached by Ps Matt Wyatt
