    More Lord: Prayer, Power, and Being Gobsmacked by God. Ephesians 1:15–23

    What does it really mean to know God more deeply? And how would our lives change if we truly grasped the incredible power available to us through Jesus? In this message from our series in Ephesians, we explore Paul's powerful prayer for the church: that the eyes of our hearts would be opened to know God better, understand the hope of His calling, discover the riches of our inheritance, and experience His incomparably great power. The resurrection and enthronement of Jesus remind us that He is far above every authority, power and dominion. Everything is under His feet, and He is Lord over all. But this message is about more than knowing Jesus as our friend; it's about recognising Him as Lord over every area of our lives. Whatever your past, whatever your circumstances, nothing can separate you from God's love or place you beyond His reach. It's an invitation to go deeper, surrender more, rediscover our wonder and become completely gobsmacked by the greatness of God. More Lord. More wonder. More of Jesus in every part of our lives. 📖 Bible passage: Ephesians 1:15–23 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Passenger or Driver? Moving from Coasting to Calling

    Are you a passenger in your faith, or are you taking the driver’s seat?In this challenging and encouraging message, we explore how Jesus trained His disciples to move from watching miracles happen to stepping out in faith, authority, and Kingdom purpose.Through a story of a stormy drive home, we discover how passengers and drivers see the road differently. Passengers can sit back and enjoy the journey, but drivers must stay alert, recognise the signs, and take responsibility for the direction of travel.Drawing on Luke 9, Mark 6, Mark 8, Mark 9, and Acts 1 and 5, we follow the disciples’ journey as they learn, stumble, grow, and step into the authority Jesus entrusted to them. We also discover an important truth: even those who have walked in spiritual authority can become exhausted, discouraged, or stuck — and sometimes the next step is to receive help, find restoration, and get moving again.In this message, you'll discover:- 🚗 The difference between coasting as a passenger and taking responsibility as a driver.- 🔥 How Jesus trained His disciples to grow in faith and spiritual authority.- 👀 How to recognise when you’re missing important turns in your spiritual journey.- 🙌 Why even experienced leaders need support, encouragement, and restoration.- 🗝️ How to respond to God's calling and step forward into your Kingdom purpose.The challenge is simple: **Where are you coasting when God is calling you to move forward?**Whether you need to take your first step of faith, rediscover your calling, or receive the support you need to get back on the road, this message will encourage you to respond to what God is inviting you into.You are not called merely to watch what God is doing. You are invited to participate in His Kingdom.**You hold the keys. It's time to move!**🙏 Watch, reflect, and ask God where He is calling you to take the next step.#KingdomOfGod #ChristianDiscipleship #FaithInAction #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianTeaching #CallingAndPurpose Hosted on Acast.

    Kingdom Mindset: Seeing Yourself Through the Father’s Eyes.

    Talk by Liz Gregg What happens when we stop seeing ourselves through the eyes of shame, comparison and self-criticism—and begin to see ourselves through the loving eyes of the Father? In this message, we continue exploring Kingdom versus Empire, discovering how our mindset shapes the way we see God, ourselves and others. An empire mindset is marked by separation, scarcity, certainty, perfectionism and self-centredness. But the Kingdom mindset invites us into connection, abundance, mystery, humility and grace. Jesus calls us to love God with all our heart, soul and mind, and to love our neighbour as ourselves. But what does that actually look like? And how do we learn to love ourselves rightly when our inner voice is often filled with criticism and shame? Drawing on Psalm 139, Psalm 131, Romans 8:1, Proverbs 27:17 and 2 Corinthians 10:5, we explore: Who does the Father say I am?How being made in God's image shapes our identityLearning to gaze into the Father's loving eyesBreaking the cycle of negative self-talkTaking destructive thoughts captiveWhy community is essential to Kingdom transformationHow love becomes the grace that enables us to changeMoving from shame and disconnection into healing and freedomA powerful testimony from Bethel about a persecuted convert who encountered the overwhelming love of Jesus after a bombing reminds us that the Kingdom is not simply something we believe—it is something we encounter. The message finishes with prayer, reflection and an invitation to encounter the Father's love. Perhaps the question isn't simply, "What do I think about myself?" Perhaps it's: "What does the Father see when He looks at me?" Take some time to slow down, listen and let the Father's love reshape the way you see yourself. Hosted on Acast.

    Process & Breakfast

    What does God do in the ordinary, everyday moments of life?In this episode, we explore the idea of process—the reality that God often works in us slowly, through ordinary conversations, everyday experiences and the seemingly insignificant moments we might otherwise overlook.Sometimes we want the breakthrough, the answer or the finished product. But God is just as present in the process.This is a conversation about learning to recognise His presence, trust His timing and allow Him to shape us along the way.🎧 Listen now and join the conversation.#PresenceCentered #Faith #ChristianLife #Discipleship #GodsPresence #Process #KingdomOfGod Hosted on Acast.

    Kingdom or Empire? Learning to Love Like Jesus

    What does it really mean to build God's Kingdom rather than our own empire? In this message, Liz Gregg explores three remarkable encounters from Luke 7 and Mark 7, revealing the radical compassion of Jesus towards those society rejected—the Gentile woman, the sinful woman, and the widow whose son had died. Rather than seeing labels, failures, or divisions, Jesus saw people through the Father's eyes and responded with transformative love. As we reflect on Jesus' command to love our neighbours—and even our enemies—we're challenged to ask: Who are "those people" in our own lives? How can we move beyond irritation, prejudice, and self-protection to become people of Kingdom compassion? Drawing on personal stories, pastoral experience, and insights from Blake Healy's Through the Veil, this episode offers a practical invitation to see others as God sees them and to allow His love to shape our responses. Whether you're wrestling with difficult relationships, longing to grow in compassion, or seeking to live more fully in God's Kingdom, this conversation will encourage and challenge you to love like Jesus. Key Scriptures: Matthew 22:37–39, Matthew 5:43–48, Luke 6:27–28, Luke 7:11–17, Luke 7:36–50, Mark 7:24–30. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ephesians 1:1-2 Titles That Tell the Whole Story: Apostle, Saints, Grace & Peace

    Some words are so familiar that we pass over them without noticing the weight they carry. Apostle. Christ. Saints. Grace. Peace.In the opening lines of Ephesians, Paul doesn't waste a single word. What appears to be a simple greeting becomes a doorway into the gospel—a reminder of who Jesus is, who we are because of Him, and the immeasurable riches that begin before the letter has barely begun.Together, we journey through the streets of ancient Ephesus, stand in the shadow of the Temple of Artemis, and rediscover the remarkable story behind one of Scripture's most treasured letters. Along the way, we see how God's Word has been faithfully preserved, why Paul writes doctrine before instruction, and how every title reveals another facet of God's heart.This is more than an introduction to a letter.It is an invitation to remember your identity.To hear heaven's language spoken over your life.To exchange the names the world has given you for the name God speaks with love.May His grace steady your heart.May His peace quiet your soul.And may these opening verses awaken you to the beautiful story you have always been part of.
