What does it mean to put God first in every area of our lives? In this message, Ps Jeff Lestz explores the biblical principle of first fruits and what it means to honour God with what we have.

The Lighthouse | Psalm 34 What are you navigating right now? Whether you're on a mountaintop or in the middle of a valley, this episode is for you. In this message, we dig into Psalm 34 — written by David during one of the most desperate and difficult seasons of his life — and uncover three powerful invitations that are just as relevant for us today. We talk about what it really means to worship G
Things I've learnt about the Supernatural God's power isn't reserved for special moments or extraordinary people — it's meant to be a normal part of everyday life. In this message, Pastor Steve Keller unpacks five practical keys to experiencing the supernatural: loving what God loves, being faithful in small things, not missing the simple for the spectacular, praying boldly for the sick, and livin
A woman walks into a dinner party where she isn't wanted. A Pharisee looks at her and sees a label. Jesus looks at her and sees a person. This message from Luke 7 will challenge the way you see the people around you.
We were never meant to be stuck in the sandpit. When we start to understand that our heavenly Father has given us full access to Him, we need to progress and grow in Christ. This message will help you understand who you are in Christ and where we are situated in what He has for us. We pray it blesses you.
The blood of Jesus is more than a symbol—it speaks of redemption, forgiveness, freedom, and a new covenant. We are not defined by our failures, our past, or our battles. We are defined by the blood that was shed for us. The blood still speaks. The blood still saves. The blood still sets free.
Are you truly free — or just free from things? In this episode, Pastor Renaud Van Ville unpacks one of the most misunderstood concepts in the Christian life: freedom. Drawing from John 8:36, he explores three dimensions of the freedom Jesus won for us — free to know Him, free to become like Him, and free to do as He did. Whether you're new to faith, finding your way back, or a long-time believer r
You've been a believer for a while now — but are you actually growing? In this honest and challenging message, Pastor Jovahn tackles the real barriers keeping us spiritually stuck. Not the obvious ones — but the subtle things we've allowed to stay. The pursuit of more. The sin we've quietly made peace with. The busyness that slowly crowds God out. The need for people's approval. The control we ref
Are you still asking God for big things — or have you quietly placed a ceiling on what you believe he can do? In this Heart for the Mission 2026 message, we explore what it means to truly enlarge your asking capacity and trust God beyond your current circumstances.
In this message, Pastor Kety opens up the story of the widow and the oil from 2 Kings 4 — a woman who had lost everything. Her husband was gone, her finances were gone, and her sons were about to be taken from her. All she had was a small jar of oil. But that was enough. Because when God is involved, enough is always more than enough. This conversation will stir your faith and challenge the way yo
Are you still on fire for Jesus — or have you gone lukewarm? This sermon is a powerful call to reach the lost in your generation, your community, and the ends of the earth. Drawn from Acts 1:8, Revelation 3:18, and Luke 19 — it will stir your heart and move you to action.
Have you ever stood on a promise from God — and wondered if it would ever come? Abraham waited. He wandered. He even made a few mistakes along the way. But God's Word says he received what was promised. And the same God who was faithful to Abraham is faithful to you. In this episode, Pastor Sanga walks through 7 things a promise of God produces in your life — from progress and purpose, to patience
Discouragement is real — but it doesn't have to be final. Pastor Kety draws from the story of David in 1 Samuel 30 to show you how to encourage yourself, encourage others, and break free from whatever's holding you back.
What does it actually mean to have peace? Pastor Phil unpacks the Hebrew word Shalom — a peace far deeper than the absence of conflict — and what it looks like to carry that peace in an anxious world.
"Great is the Lord Jesus Christ" — Jesus is preached, Jesus is received, Jesus is held in high honor, and Jesus is the only way. The real question isn't whether Jesus is part of your life. It's whether he's the center of it. Because if Jesus is not the center of all, he is not the center at all. Whether you've been following Jesus for decades or you're still figuring out what you believe — this on
What does it actually look like to trust God with your finances — not just in theory, but with a number written down, a prayer prayed, and faith put on the line? In this message, Pastor Rob Ketterling of River Valley Church shares the framework that has helped thousa nds of churches around the world fuel the Great Commission. Drawing from Scripture, real stories, and a deeply personal miracle in h
What is God after beyond the miracle? In this episode, we journey through Acts 19 and Paul's prayer in Ephesians 1 — discovering that God's deepest desire isn't to give us one more experience, but to change how we see. You are not tolerated. You are treasured. And resurrection power is already at work in your life.
Life gets busy. The noise gets loud. And somewhere in the middle of it all — it's easier than you think to lose sight of what matters most. This Father's Day, we're talking about the one thing we can't afford to lose. Jesus. Because what you've lost in Him can always be regained. Whether you're a dad, a son, a daughter, or just someone trying to find their way back — this message is for you.
Real faith isn't positive thinking — it's Word-grounded, spirit-led, and action-driven. This episode will challenge you to stop believing with your head and start acting on what God has already promised.
Life has a way of pulling us off center — filling our days with good things, while slowly crowding out the best thing. In this message, Pastor Renaud opens up Revelation 2 and the story of the church at Ephesus to show us what it looks like when activity replaces affection, power replaces presence, and doctrine replaces devotion. This is your invitation to remember. Repent. Return. Jesus wants to
Through the story of the man born blind in John 9, we tackle four questions the crowd was asking that day — who, why, how, and when. The answers will challenge the way you think about faith, hardship, and breakthrough.
Are you in a season of waiting? Waiting for a breakthrough, a miracle, a healing — or simply for God to move? In this powerful Pentecost Sunday message, Pastor Jason Mendez unpacks what it truly means to wait on God. Drawing from Acts 1 and the Hebrew word kevah — meaning "to bind together" — Jason reveals that waiting isn't passive. It's one of the most active, faith-filled things you can do. To
Three Prayers That Unlock Miracles You've been holding on tight — to your plans, your timeline, your idea of how things should go. But what if letting go is exactly what God is waiting for? Pastor Christian Mensik brings a word that will shift your perspective on miracles. Drawing from John 2, 4, and 11 — the wedding at Cana, the official's dying son, and the raising of Lazarus — this message will
Step beyond what's possible and into the power of supernatural faith. In this inspiring message, we explore the difference between natural faith—shaped by fear, logic, and limitations—and the supernatural faith that fixes our eyes on God's promises. Through the story of Abraham and Sarah, we're reminded that God still brings life where there seems to be barrenness, breakthrough where there's been
Do miracles still have a place in our faith today? This message explores the tension between belief and experience—unpacking common questions around miracles and God's silence. Through John's Gospel, we see that miracles point us to God's nature and His Kingdom. We're challenged to live with faith in the middle of uncertainty—asking boldly, trusting God's character, and staying faithful in how we
This message speaks to the tension we all feel—the pull of our past versus the promise of our future. Rooted in Isaiah 43:18 and Luke 4, it reminds us that God is doing a new thing, and our past doesn't get the final say. As Jesus stood in Nazareth, seen only as "Joseph's son," He chose to walk in the truth of who He was called to be. And we're invited to do the same. Through the power of the Holy
In this message from Matthew 24, we're reminded that readiness isn't about knowing when—it's about how we live. It challenges us to move beyond just showing up and into a life that's fully surrendered, led by the Holy Spirit, and grounded in God's Word. This is an invitation to live with purpose, with urgency, and with a real sense of expectation for what's to come.
What if your words are shaping your life more than you realize? James 3 reminds us that the tongue, though small, directs everything—revealing our hearts, steering our future, and reflecting our faith. Jesus said what flows from our mouths comes from within, so our words are a window into our spirit. God isn't just changing what we say—He's transforming our hearts so life-giving words can flow. Yo
Why do you look for the living among the dead? This message explores the power of the resurrection and what it means for us today. Through Luke 24:1–8, we discover that because Jesus rose, we've been given purpose, a new position in Him, and the promise of victory. This isn't just a moment in history—it's the foundation for living a transformed, overcoming life every day.
What does it truly mean to have life in Christ? This message unpacks the powerful reality of "zoe" —God's abundant, eternal life available to us now. Drawing from John 20:31, we discover that real transformation happens when God's Word and Spirit come together, bringing healing, freedom, and purpose. We're not just called to receive this life, but to carry it into a world that needs hope.
