TALKING TO GOD.   When you learn to pray remember you don’t need fancy words, or a script of what to say. God responds to faith-filled prayers from the heart. The cry of the broken, joy-filled expressions of thanks, requests for miracles or our simply our daily needs are all heard. We can have confidence God…

  WHY YOU SHOULD READ YOUR BIBLE.   Have you ever been really lost, without a map or GPS? It is the worst feeling: not knowing where to go or which direction to walk in.  As Christians, we don’t need to feel lost in our lives, we have been given the best GPS there is,…

  BE ‘ALL IN.’   Be water baptised. Baptism means to immerse and overwhelm – to be all in. Jesus wants us to be fully immersed, full of and empowered by Him. God has wonderful things planned for us and He asks that we continue stepping out. God does not want you stagnant – there is…

Men’s ministry is not just important, it’s imperative. Men need strengthening through community and encouragement as well as a major boost of faith, in God, in themselves and in one another.   ‘Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.’ 1 Corinthians 16:13   Male bashing has been a daily…

Many years ago when we first stepped out to host an annual conference focused on empowering people in the life of the Holy Spirit I had two visions of angels preparing a place – a pavilion, for God and His Presence. He spoke to me and told me He would search the hearts of those gathered in worship and on…

  The term ‘IN HIM’ is found in various ways, over 150 times in the New Testament. Such a small phrase can be easily overlooked, however this concept was at the core of Jesus’ teaching when He conveyed the picture of the vine and the branches. He introduced the lifestyle of ‘abide in me, and…

The Holy Spirit and freedom are often found together in Scripture. Take these verses: ‘For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.’ – Romans 8:2 (NKJV) ‘Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is…

‘In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the…

We live in a world of so many purposes, but what actually is the true purpose for everyone’s life? Jesus Christ is the sum of all purposes. He is the reason. He is the Truth.   The following is a devotional by Ps Phil Pringle, as part of his book ‘In Him – A Daily…

WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY?   God loves you and offers His wonderful plan for your life. He desires for you to receive salvation and that no one is kept from Him. His arms are open to all who accept his invitation.  “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that…

The Holy Spirit is a person. He is the Helper.   So often the Christian church over history has ignored Him or forgotten that He brings the power and anointing to live the Christian life. Once upon a time when you drove a car there was no power assisted steering. It could be hard work,…

STEPS OF FAITH Hebrews 11:8   “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.” Hebrews tells us that Abraham went, not knowing where he was going. When God asks you to go,…

The church is God’s answer for the world.   Within the church His heart beats. Through us His salvation reaches out to the lost. God’s heartbeat is to have church communities all across the Earth. The church is the hope of the world. It is where the blessing of God dwells and where the devil…

 AS FOR ME Joshua 24:15   Vision always starts with a seed. Someone who plants a seed establishes a legacy. Everything begins with someone; and that someone could be you. Ps Chris reminded us how C3 started 37 years ago with only 13 people at an Easter service. And look at the amazing legacy those 13 people started!…

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?   He is the most important person you will meet. He counsels, comforts, directs, equips and empowers us to live above our circumstances, outside of our limitations and over our expectations. He is the great gift Jesus promised to send us and He is God by our side.   “I…

Throughout Corinthians, Paul outlines eight reasons to be generous. This Vision Builders season and in our daily lives, we can learn from Paul’s writings to the Corinthian church.   1.

FRIENDS WITH A MISSION.   Why do we go to Church? Church is not just a building, it is group of people who gather together to follow God. It is a place of life-giving truth and encouragement. We are friends on a mission to share the good news of Jesus Christ, to live with purpose…
