Seismic Shifts: Generosity I Brad Carr

If you had more money to give away would you do it? Most people would say yes, but in reality, probably wouldn’t. This is simply because there is a difference between someone who gives and someone who is generous. Generosity doesn’t have to be big gifts that cost a lot of money. There are simple ways to become generous, happier and to make a difference in this world. Are you generous?

Seismic Shifts: Multiplication I Jonathan Dove

Doing what we know is comfortable, predictable–it’s normal. Normal isn’t bad, but what if God doesn’t want us to go back to the way it was? He helps us see opportunity through disruption. What do we need to do differently?

Seismic Shifts: Spirit I Jonathan Dove

We know every car needs the right fuel to run. Even when the car is fueled or charged up, it doesn’t go anywhere until the ignition is turned. Did you know that as people, we also need the right sort of fuel or power to live as our creator intended? How do you access this power? It’s a seismic shift.

Seismic Shifts: Kingdom I Jonathan Dove

It’s easy for us to get distracted by people, politics, finances and life’s other challenges. We can become isolated and overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. But what if Jesus has a plan? What if He knows you and wants you to experience His love? Discover His plan for you. You are not alone. You are loved and you matter.

Does Waitangi Day matter? I Jonathan Dove

Unity is the heart and the hope of the gospel. Jesus prayed “may they be one….Father, just as we are one.” The Treaty of Waitangi and Te Tiriti o Waitangi was intended to bring two peoples together in genuine partnership. A day of celebration, but also hurts from what happened in our history. What can bring people together and heal relational divides? What is God saying to followers of Jesus in Aotearoa NZ? What would it mean for us to say “He iwi kotahi tatou”, meaning “Now we are one”?

Soundbites: Riches I John Theakston

Is it wrong to be rich? The book of Proverbs has much to say on the topic.

Soundbites: Words & Friendship Pt.2 I Harrison Carr

Almost all of us can look back on moments when we have said things that we later regret. How can we grow in wisdom in the words that we say to others?
