It’s Not Nothing, It’s Something – Rachael Taylor

There are things in our lives that we can focus on so much, that we start to see them as “something” – when God is saying they are nothing.

Here on Earth – Simon Taylor

As human beings we need daily provision, forgiveness and strength in the face of temptation. John 15:4 says ‘Remain in me, and you will bear much fruit.’ Life can become difficult when you are not remaining. Our struggle in life is not to bear fruit, but for our roots to find water. God’s will is greater than our will. He is our source, our provision and the One who everything good flows from. Over these next ten days, allow your roots to become deeper and seek Him more.

Cry Me A River Part Deux – Dave Gilpin

Psalm 46 states, ‘There is a river that makes glad the City of God.’ The river of God in your life is unstoppable. It will never run out and will transport you into all God has for you. But the river does something else-  it carries stuff away. You can’t just dump your junk on the river bank and expect to remain in the clear waters of destiny. Every river has a bridge and there comes a time where everything needs to become ‘water under the bridge’. In this message, Dave Gilpin gives us 7 keys to letting go and allowing our ‘junk’ to go under the bridge. It’s amazing what can happen when you do.

It’s Your Turn – Rachael Taylor

It’s Your Turn – How to Maximise Every Opportunity

Most things that affect your life are cyclic. They are part of something greater who’s momentum keeps you doing things that you don’t really want to be doing. Depression is often part of a cycle. Habits are definitely cyclic and bouts of anxiety are just that- bouts that continue like a boxing match. 

In this message Pastor Rachael Taylor from Hope City Newcastle attempts to break cycles by looking at a the man at the pool of Bethesda who’s been ‘cycling’ for 38 years.
