Jesus Our Saviour

Date: 4 February 2018 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Our hearts and minds resonate with the idea of being saved. When we know we are lost, then we need someone to come and save us – whether we’re lost in the bush or in the mountains, we look for and need a saviour. Religions around the world say, “You’re lost – you can save yourself! Follow these rules, visit these sites, pay this homage, recite these prayers.” Jesus simply says, “You’re lost, I’m coming to find and save you!” What an amazing Saviour we have in Jesus!

Radical! Trust God with Your Calling

Date: 28 January 2018 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

You might expect that God would give you a clear run, blue skies and happy days when His calling is upon your life. But that’s not what we see in the lives of most of the bible characters. When we approach God and our experiences with faulty thinking and wrong expectations, disappointment can lead to a bitter heart. Instead expect problems and joy in the work they are producing in you!

Radical! Reproducing Yourself

Date: 21 January 2018 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

We look at the incredible genius of Jesus and see what he does to make disciples. He shuns the big crowds, popularity, titles, accolades and intentionally locates a few hungry hearted men and he makes it His mission to revolutionises their hearts. He in fact initiates His global revolution through the few. Maybe there’s the secret for you and me – focus on the few in our lives and commit to turning them into disciples of Christ. That’s the genius of Jesus – anyone can do this!

Radical! Christ Calls

Date: 14 January 2018 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Jesus never used gimmicks to win people over to His message nor to persuade people to follow Him. He was clear, concise and at times brutal with the truth about the call for His followers to ‘take up their crosses.’ Jesus called us into radical obedience and nothing less!

Jesus is Coming Soon!

Date: 31 December 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

We have just celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ which was an event clearly foretold in the ancient prophetic scriptures. This talk looks at the coming again of Jesus and the signs of our age that point to His return.

Three Seeker Types at the First Christmas!

Date: 24 December 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

As we study the story of the first Christmas, it becomes apparent that there were three very unique groups looking for Jesus – the seeking, the humble and the proud.

Jesus Changes Everything!

Date: 17 December 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Imagine if God appeared amongst us today – what would He say and do? What would be His effect on our planet. Jesus was born 2000 years ago and His effect upon the world has been unmatched by any other individuals of history. We look at a number of spheres of culture to see how Jesus has brought change. Jesus truly does change everything!

Hearing God’s Voice – Part 2

Date: 10 December 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Does God speak to us today? Is hearing God’s voice something that we should pursue? How does God speak to us today? How can I hear God’s voice? We continue exploring the answers to these questions.

Hearing God’s Voice – Part 1

Date: 3 December 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Does God speak to us today? Is hearing God’s voice something that we should pursue? How does God speak to us today? How can I hear God’s voice? We start to explore the answers to these questions.

The Joy of the Lord

Date: 19 November 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

The Joy of the Lord as the strength of a christian makes them unstoppable against the enemy. Joy in the Lord is a gift from Jesus and once imparted into the life of a Christian by the Holy Spirit, connects the believer with the eternal purposes of God. This means we can give thanks and persevere through good and bad times. Let the Joy of the Lord be your strength today!

Developing Stronger Faith

Date: 5 November 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Faith to the Christian is a developing force. Jesus has much to say about activating faith and speaking to situations (mountains). His words stir us and provoke us to think about the “what ifs.” Faith can be stifled or it can be activated and developed.

Developing Strong Faith

Date: 29 October 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Faith to the Christian is the foundation force upon which our lives is centred. We are saved by faith (Eph 2:8), we are made righteous by faith (Romans 3:21), we please God through faith (Hebrews 11:6), and we are called to live by faith (Hebrews 10:38). So how do we develop our faith?

Know Your Enemy – Our Testimony

Date: 22 October 2017 | Speaker: Peter & Sam Jackel

One of the weapons of our Warfare as described in the book of Revelation chapter 12 is our testimony. When we share the testimony of our lives we reveal God’s enduring goodness and His superiority over the enemy’s attempts to derail us. It strengthens, encourages and inspires others to believe. Peter and Samantha’s testimony of their marriage breakup and healing is offered here with the hope that it helps produce faith and trust in you. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 Peter 3:8).

Know Your Enemy – Deception

Date: 15 October 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Deception is a tool of the enemy that has the possibility of touching any Christian life. We have ample warnings in scripture – but how do you know if you’ve been deceived?

Know Your Enemy – Authority

Date: 8 October 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Every Christian is equipped with spiritual authority to wage war against the enemy. It comes when a believer confesses faith in Christ – it is not linked to our practises (the stuff we do) but it is linked to our position in Christ.

Know Your Enemy – Five Weapons

Date: 1 October 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

We don’t always see the church as an attack agent of God – but we are spoken of as an army that is to advance a kingdom, the kingdom of God. The enemy is vulnerable. The church is powerful. But only if it understands its place in the earth – and it’s authority and weaponry. We delve further into our spiritual weapons (2 Cor 10:4) that are available to every Christian. They are referred to as “mighty in God” and are to be used to attack the enemy and pull down his strongholds.

Know Your Enemy – Origins & Activities

Date: 17 September 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Every Christian needs a well rounded understanding of who the enemy is, his origins and his activities. In this talk we look further into the person of Satan and in particular how he attacks in the realm of the mind. We also look at the first of many weapons that the Christian can use against the enemy – the Word of God.

Know Your Enemy – Intro

Date: 10 September 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

“Our adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour!” the scriptures declare. The bible talks a lot of the devil, who he is and what he does. We start a study looking into the person and activity of the enemy of God, Satan – a real, living and very active spiritual being. Every Christian should have a well rounded understanding of this subject.

The Glorious Holy Spirit – His Baptism

Date: 13 August 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

The doctrine of the baptism of the Holy Spirit has been for many, a dividing line between orthodox Christian theology and raving heresy. We read much about this experience in the scriptures – as believers (Jews and Gentiles) were filled with God’s presence, through the Holy Spirit. So what’s it all about? Let’s talk about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit – and try to make some sense of it all.

The Glorious Holy Spirit – His Work

Date: 6 August 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

We continue looking at the person of the Holy Spirit and how His ministry, power and work in our lives. We look at where the Holy Spirit works through the lives of people throughout the scriptures and we begin to look at the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

The Glorious Holy Spirit – An Intro

Date: 30 July 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

We start today looking at the person of the Holy Spirit and how His ministry and power in our lives and our gatherings is absolutely essential. This is an introduction that looks at who the Holy Spirit is. There is nothing more exciting than having an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to guide our lives.

Going Vertical – Call to Missions

Date: 16 July 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

We are all commissioned in Matthew 28 to make disciples of the nations, yet it is one of the glaring problems in the church today – that we simply are not doing what Jesus instructed us to do. Why is that? In this talk we explore the need for any church intending to ‘go vertical’ to initiate and activate a ‘soul winning’ posture which results in a bold witness for Christ.

Absence or Presence?

Date: 9 July 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

The differences between the modern western church and the early church of the new believers is stark. While one grew at an amazing rate, the other is in decline. What’s the story behind the decline?

Let’s Talk About Church

Date: 18 June 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Jesus told Peter that He would “build His church, and the gates of Hell would not prevail against it.” We see the church in decline in the west, yet an explosion of activity elsewhere. Why? Church was never intended to be a place we serve God to the exclusion of meeting with Him. Yet we have been satisfied with a poor reflection of what church should really be about – the manifest presence of God amongst us.

Who is Jesus? Part 2

Date: 11 June 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Jesus remains one of the most loved, adored and reviled persons of history. Rather than allow the culture to dictate who Jesus is, we will give Jesus the chance to speak for Himself in these studies as we ask the question, “Who is Jesus?” This is the 2nd part of a 2 part series.

Discipleship

Date: 21 May 2017 | Speaker: Glenys Stevens

Date: 7 May 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Jesus remains one of the most loved, adored and reviled persons of history. Rather than allow the culture to dictate who Jesus is, we will give Jesus the chance to speak for Himself in these studies as we ask the question, “Who is Jesus?”

Date: 30 April 2017 | Speaker: Chek Chia

Pastor Chek Chia has traveled the world preaching the gospel and planting churches. Today he rounds off the weekend seminar on prayer “Journey in Prayer” with a message that encourages the church to ‘rise up!’

Jesus – The Messiah

Date: 16 April 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

Resurrection Sunday is a day that Christians around the world celebrate. It’s the day that history marks out as being the day that Jesus revealed his credentials as God in the flesh – the only man to ever return from the grave and then remain alive. We look at Jesus, the Lamb of God and how the redemptive plan of God was first prophesied in the garden of Eden and through the ages.

Jesus – The Resurrection

Date: 9 April 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

The Christian faith is built and centred upon the resurrection of Jesus. Attack and prove the resurrection false, and Christianity crumbles. In this talk we look at the challenges posed to the resurrection narrative and whether they stand up to scrutiny in the light of the evidence for the resurrection.

Wired to be Inspired

Date: 26 March 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

We are designed to respond to inspiration – both negative and positive. In this study we look at the role of inspiration and how it can lead to great acts of faith or fear. We look at the ‘elevation principle’ – the idea that we can achieve through the encouragement of others.

Who is God? – Part 7 (The Trinity)

Date: 19 March 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

The concept of the Trinity (God as a 3 person being) has long been the subject of analysis by theologians. Attempts to try to understand the nature of the Trinity often lead the investigator to dead end roads dues to its mystery and majesty. We try to look at explaining the Trinity in this study from its foundational truths.

Who is God? – Part 6 (His Kindness)

Date: 12 March 2017 | Speaker: Peter Jackel

There is a beauty and power to kindness. The cross was God’s greatest act of kindness towards his rebel creation. In this study we look at the attribute of kindness which defines the nature of God – and the call upon our lives to also be kind.

Leaving the Boat in the Storm

Date: 5 March 2017 | Speaker: Samantha Jackel

Jesus sent the disciples out into a storm on a lake. He met them in the storm – one disciple had the courage to leave the safety of the boat. Which disciple are we – boat sitters or water walkers?

Who is God – Part 5 (Holiness)

Date: 26 Feb 2017

Understanding the Holiness of God is key to understanding who God is. It is an attribute of God that once understood defines His goodness, in the context of His wrath and His justice.
