The plans that God has for you are amazing, and He created you to be MORE than a conqueror. In this message, Pastor Carl-Gustaf Severin encourages us to believe what the Bible says about us and to walk confidently in the ways of the Lord. 

"A train is only powerful when it is on the rail; likewise, we are most powerful and effective when we are in Christ." - Pastor Carl-Gustaf Severin.

Before you get to the promised land, you first need to go through the training ground... the wilderness. God doesn't take you through battles you aren't ready for; rather, He equips you and trains you, so don't rush the process. In this message, Pastor Chris teaches on three different names of God that will help you get through the wilderness seasons of life.

Jehovah Mekaddishkem "The Lord Who Sanctifies You"

Jehovah Rapha "The God Who Heals You"

Jehovah Nissi - "The Lord is My Banner"

“A cheerful heart is like a good medicine, and a cheerful mind works healing.” —Proverbs 17:22

Pastor Cheryl took us through 4 different types of laughter in the Bible; two types that are displeasing to the Lord, and two types that are pleasing to the Lord. This message was a reminder that we do not need to be conformed to the patterns of this world, but to keep our eyes on Jesus, that even in a chaotic world, the joy of the Lord is our strength, and we can be a light wherever we go.

Pastors Abner and Jessica Galvan shared a message about what it means to follow God’s plan over your own, even when it’s uncomfortable, unexpected, or way bigger than you imagined.

In a world obsessed with doing, Jesus reminds us that it’s not about DO, it’s about WHO. Before performing miracles or starting His ministry, Jesus was affirmed by the Father: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” His identity came first. From the temple as a boy to the wilderness as a man, Jesus knew who He was, and He stood firm against every temptation by the authority of God’s Word. This message invites us to live from a place of identity, not performance. When you know who you are in Christ, you won’t be swayed by pressure to prove it.

1. Jesus knew the power of God’s word.

2. He had memorized God’s word.

3. Jesus spoke the word with authority.

Andy Hawthorne spoke a word that encouraged us to live bold and unashamed for Jesus in our everyday!

“If we want to see a major move of God it’s as simple as ABC. Attitude of Christ, Believe they rooted in God’s Word, and live with Christ at the centre of our lives."

Hearing the voice of God isn't reserved for just Pastors, ministry leaders, or those who are mature in their faith. In John 10:4, Jesus says "His sheep follow Him because His sheep know His voice". God wants to speak to you, and in fact He is speaking all the time. In this message we looked at what the voice of God sounds like, and how you can hear Him!
