Are there any areas of your life that feel a bit cluttered? Any place where, if even the smallest button is pressed, you’re triggered?
It’s been easy in this stay-at-home season to get caught up in the clutter. To feel as though we have to do everything and be everyone to make sure all bases are covered. But trying to fulfil all these areas in our own strength can not only build up our frustrations, but sap our strength in and devotion to Christ.
We need to chill and regain our zeal! Figure out how you can do that in your own life with this week’s podcast message from Ps Tebo Mpanza.
Life is a series of choices. But how do we know what the right decision is? Nothing is more important than hearing God’s voice and being able to distinguish it from the voices of the world. Pastor Tebo gives insight into how we can tell if God is speaking to us.
Identity. Not knowing who we are is one of the greatest struggles of our generation. When you know who you are in Christ, you’re empowered to live God’s destined life for you. Don’t let the enemy rob you of your identity – you’re verified!
God is refining us in obscurity. Maybe we just need a change in our perspective to see our exile as God developing our character. Today’s exile could be the key to tomorrow’s return.
Transition is the process of changing from one state or condition to another. As followers of Christ we are always in transition, but sometimes these transitions can feel like we’re being tossed around by the wind and waves. Pastor Tebo teaches us how we can cling to Jesus during the storms of transition.
We often ask the question: Is God good all the time? Pastor Tebo encourages us to bring our perspective and focus back to the absolute truth that God is good. The foundation of all hope is the goodness of God.
In modern society we are very good at being busy, even when
we’re ‘resting’. We’re on call 24/7. Pastor Becky poses the question, what is
true rest in God?
Through the power of the Holy Spirit we can overcome intimidation – we can get our hopes and dreams back. Tune in as Pastor Tebo teaches how this is achievable.
Revival demands and requires that we step up to the next
level. But sometimes we find ourselves in a place where we feel unable to level
up. Why is this? Join us as Ronia encourages us how to keep elevating in life.

Summer Revival: Interview With Pastors Tebo And Becky
Practicing what you preach, Teach through your acts of faith and keep your integrity. These are just a few of the points discussed in this message by Ps Becky Mpanza as she unpacks ‘Defining Your Standards’ a message that is a continuation of the ‘Savage’ series.
Nothing is everything. Nothing is the precursor to your everything in God. Pastor Lois declares that we are about to see the everything of God unfold from the nothing that we have.
The journey is worth it. Don’t get frustrated by the traffic on the way to your destination. Don’t give up on the journey. Remain steadfast, even when things look bleak – you’ll be glad that you did.
When you try to step out in faith and do something great there is always opposition. The enemy doesn’t target the lukewarm of faith, but those who burn passionately for God. Listen in as Pastor Tebo addresses how we can deal with spiritual opposition.

Get On The Wall: How To Deal With Opposition - Tebo Mpanza
We can approach our lives thinking that there is a distribution problem in heaven – we see others being blessed with gifts, whilst we are seemingly forgotten. The grass always looks greener on the other side. Perhaps heaven doesn’t have a distribution dilemma, so much as we have a recognition dilemma. Pastor Gosia encourages us to shift our perception to see heaven’s blessing as doors of opportunity rather than neatly packaged gifts.
Every pioneer has to wrestle with idealism. The world isn’t as perfect as we imagine – there will always be bumps on the road, especially in this Christian life. God is looking for pioneers who won’t be dissuaded when things don’t go to plan.
When God wants something to happen He will always raise up a pioneer. Are you willing to be the one to break the ground? Are you willing to be the trailblazer who opens up our city to the Gospel?
Thank you. These two small words can have the biggest impact in your life. We are called to enter into God’s gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. What can thanksgiving unlock in your life?
Empathy enables us to understand a person’s feelings in a given situation by putting us in their shoes. It’s an amazing trait to have, but don’t become so empathetic that you’re weighed down by the heaviness of their situation, and are unable to act compassionately towards them. Pastor Becky encourages us to stop allowing empathy to restrict us, so we can move in to compassion.

The Resolve: Fueling Your New Year Resolutions - Jo Willis
Join us for Hit Factory Sunday as we’re blessed with not one, not two, but three God-inspired messages from three incredible people in the life of our church:
Pioneers: How To Run And Not Quit – Andy Coulson
Silent Night: Finding Strength In Stillness – Kookie Chilengwe
King Of Kings: How To Turn A Manger Into A Throne – Nathan Li
Happiness isn’t an easy destination to reach – it’s often temporary, and easily stolen. Joy, on the other hand, can be permanent if we allow it. Tune in as Pastor Becky explains how we can find fullness of joy rather than striving to pursue happiness.
Tune in to this powerful message shared by Pastor Tim Ross at our Sheffield location. The same sin that is able to destroy individuals can also destroy community. Prepare to be challenged as Pastor Tim Ross leads us through Biblical examples of what NOT to do if we want to remain in community.
In every area of life you are in there is always a king; someone who wields power and authority in their sphere of influence. We are born to influence the influencer. Tune in to Pastor Jo Willis and find out how to move kings.
Revenge is the desire to repay a wrong. It may seem like a normal human response, but the Bible says otherwise. Revenge has multiple faces, many of which we aren’t necessarily aware of. Tune in as Pastor Tebo explains the best way we can get revenge.
The Word of God always produces fruit, for it will accomplish what it has set out to do, not returning empty or void. Nothing is wasted in our lives when we are surrendered to Jesus.
Moments of pressure are doorways to greatness. The temptation of life is to stay on milk, but God wants us to move on to solids. How do you perceive pressure?
