Grace is like the wind filling the sails of a boat. You didn’t create the wind—but you still have to raise the sails. Grace does the heavy lifting, but we are invited to respond, participate, and cooperate.

When we hold a vivid image of the future, we are reminded that our patience is not wasted, our courage is not pointless, and our faithfulness is leading somewhere worthwhile.

“We don’t realise we’re living in the dark until the light shines — and when it does, we finally see ourselves, our lives, and God as He really is.”

Advent is a season to be reminded of the power and vital place of looking back in gratitude and living with expectant waiting. Celebrating Jesus' birth and looking forward to his second coming.

Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. John Piper

Abiding is believing, receiving from and trusting Jesus - A completely dependant posture. Thirsting for, attaching to, connected to Jesus. Jesus’ life flowing into us like a life giving sap.

Singing truth to God about God has a special/unique capacity/power to awaken/create/stir strong affections and excitement within us and in the ONE ANOTHER. We get touched and changed by truth on fire. The message/person of Jesus is invited to have the run of the house through SINGING.

Worship as expressing our thanks and love for God to give him glory. Worship has a sound? It should be fresh, sincere- It should be prophetic, we expect God to reveal himself: as we worship him as he dwells among us. It cannot be boxed in.

Out of this thriving, worshipping, Generous, Antioch church, the Holy Spirit called Barnabas and Saul to be sent out — turning a local work of God into a global mission sending church.

Acts 16:25, Paul and Silas are described as praying and singing hymns to God in prison at midnight, while the other prisoners listened. This act of worship, even in their di?cult circumstances, led to a miraculous earthquake that broke their chains and opened the prison doors. Time, money, attention, gifts, work. True worship often involves sacrifice. Worship in su?ering reveals our trust and surrender. David: “I will not o?er to the Lord that which costs me nothing.”

Jesus reframes worship around intimacy, not location. Spirit = heart and authenticity ignited by Holy Spirir. Truth = aligned with who God truly is.

True worship starts with offering ourselves. Worship is a lifestyle, not a slot on a Sunday. Love for God is what sets mission into motion. Worship the fuel of obedience. To lay prostrate, bow, bow head below the heart to agree with God. Come into agreement, alignment with God, what he says, to take logic and reason and submit it to God. 24/7 worship is a week of agreeing with God. To say 'yes' unconditionally and offer ourselves. When ordinary people are willing to let God do what he wants to do, that’s ho

To walk with signifies an exceptionally deep and intimate relationship with God. Characterised by faith, obedience, and continuous communion.

Vision transforms ordinary choices - into meaningful ones, turns sacrifice into joy, and sustains us when the work seems hard. A family - We don’t want to be a crowd, or even a group of friends but a family. People who will lay their lives down for one another. Full of life, energy, and enthusiasm. Believers who are hope and joy filled. Transformation happening through Holy Spirit’s love, power, revelation. Overflowing the reality of Jesus’ Kingdom in our everyday life.

Life is ultimately about the attitude we have whilst we are living it. Discovering moment by moment what it looks like for Jesus to be the main thing.

David desired one thing: to gaze upon the Lord. Worship is about God’s worth.. Heaven gives us a picture of who we worship: holy, powerful, merciful

This series dignifies the ordinary stuff of life, focuses us on our first calling (to be with Jesus), and explores how worship is the greenhouse and incubator for a truly apostolic people. MOMENTS WITH HIM BECOME MOVEMENTS.

The goal isn’t to escape the valley, remove every enemy, or finally “arrive.” The goal is to be at the table with the Shepherd, whatever the circumstances enjoying being loved, honoured, and overflowing.

God provides, leads, and restores. This is about trust—learning to rest in God’s provision and pace.Theme: From striving to resting.

Be patient. Don’t be too quick to judge. If this is just human, it will fade out. But if it’s God, it’s unstoppable. You don’t want to find yourself fighting God.
