Living as an Overcomer (Audio)

All of us have areas of our lives where we feel challenged or overwhelmed. What if it’s in this precise area you can grow as an overcomer? This Sunday we’ll be looking at David up against Goliath and see how we too can be victorious over the giants that assail us.
As Jesus said, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Bible Readings: 1 Samuel 17:4-49 (NCV), John 16:33 (ESV)

What are you living for? (Audio)

A message by Pastor David Altus.

What gets you up in the morning, keeps you together during the day, and keeps you going to the end? We all need a reason and motivation for living. In today’s Bible reading St Paul reflects on
the motivation and power behind his life and ministry, something every Christian can live by.

Prayer: Don’t Keep It In A Box (Trinity Sunday) (Audio)

Prayer is a wonderful and amazing privilege given to us by God. Just think of it. The almighty creator and Lord of the universe invites us to talk with him. How good is that! But too many Christians are inclined to keep prayer in a box. Prayer is so often confined to formal public worship times, structured prayer meetings, family devotion time, the beginning and end of church meetings, devotion time or bedtime. But prayer offers so many more possibilities. In next Sunday’s worship time Chris Jaensch will be inviting us to pull prayer out of the confining box we too often put it in, remind us of the flexibility of prayer and highlight its many exciting possibilities. Woven through the service Chris will be including a number of his own songs and the Bible passages that inspired them.
