A prosperous people

Farewell to Africa! A final message from the car as we get ready to leave for UK. Prosperity is the goal of the gospel, but it is about much more than money and possessions. How do we get intentional about building other areas of prosperity in our lives?

Enduring (reluctantly)

It seems like we have no option but to endure at the moment! But we can tap into grace to empower our endurance by looking to Jesus who is the author of our faith (the greatest dreamer the world has ever known) and the finisher of our faith (he’s coming back!) Enjoy this 18 minute video.

Hidden in plain sight

What does the Christmas story have to say to us in this crazy politicised world of 2020? Quite simply that the kingdom of God does not come through geopolitical, social media-saturated events, but through a baby being laid in a manger. Hidden in plain sight.

Redefining work

We spend half our lives engaged in work of some form. How do we make that a spiritually productive part of our lives, rather than just a grind? Join me at a Harvest Church Sunday morning meeting for a 35 minute sermon.

Unlovable

Why did Jesus wash his disciples feet? I know he was demonstrating servant leadership, but why foot washing? What’s so great about having your feet washed? Join us in this 15 min video to discover how Jesus loves the unlovable, which is what we are before our feet are washed!

Friend

A lot of people know that Jesus is the friend of sinners, but not many people know he is the friend of saints as well! Join us in a 15 minute video to explore the practical ways Jesus wants to be a friend to you, and how you can love other people by being a friend to them.

The embrace

How are you doing at loving people? It’s quite hard when we’re struggling to keep ourselves together. But the key to entering into the passionate love of God for a broken world is not hard…

Representing God part 4: Corporate anointing

How do you take a bunch of ordinary people and transform that into something that shows the glory of God to the world? Quite a challenge! When we think about this we usually want to start with transforming the lives of individual people. We want to turn them into something extraordinary. But there is a limit. Most people are, by definition, ordinary! So today I want to talk about a different way, a way for a bunch of ordinary people to become extraordinary together. It’s a synergism called corporate anointing.

Representing God part3: A Holy Temple

You only have to mention the word “church” to discover a whole bunch of people who are unhappy. And some of us are deeply unhappy. But the church has a calling to fulfil as the holy temple of God where the world can encounter him. It’s time to move beyond our disappointments.

Representing God part 2: made in His image

How do I know God’s purpose for my life? There are some happy people who know with unshakeable certainty that God has called them to be a doctor or a teacher or something, and that simplifies a lot of these life choices. But most of us rely on gut feelings, or passions or prophetic words to know what God’s purpose is for us, and down the road, when things get rough, it’s easy to feel that maybe we misheard. I want to give you a rock-solid theology of purpose, that I think can take away a lot of the pressure for us and bring us into a whole lot of freedom.
