FOCUS: What We Focus On Affects Our Minds And Attitudes. With all the negative messages from the news media, politics, and social media, we need to stop and evaluate what we are focusing on or listening to. It totally affects our attitudes and responses to things going on around us. Today’s message will encourage you to focus on something or rather someone greater than your circumstances! We need to be reminded that there is NOTHING that can separate us from God’s goodness and love. When we focus on that, we can actually find ‘joy’ despite our circumstances! Enjoy

You may have heard God loves you, but did you know He LIKES you too. The message the ‘typical’ church sends to the world is that God is really ticked and his anger is building…well….that God doesn’t even EXIST!! And we wonder why people feel condemned by the message ‘the church’ seems to send.

Let’s share the GOOD NEWS for all people TO all people! God loves EVERYBODY! No one is excluded! That is good news!! Now believe it!! For more info, visit:

Under Pressure? You Are Not Alone! Someone understands the pains of being under pressure in extreme circumstances.  Like an olive press crushes the olive to extract the valuable contents, Jesus was crushed in an olive garden on our behalf and fully understands our journey.  Today we will compare the two gardens Eden & Gethsemane and see the surprising parallels between the two.  Enjoy today’s very encouraging message!

You may have heard God loves you, but did you know He LIKES you too.  The message the ‘typical’ church sends to the world is that God is really ticked and his anger is building…well….that God doesn’t even EXIST!! And we wonder why people feel condemned by the message ‘the church’ seems to send.

God Loves Everyone, let’s do the same.  There is NO ONE outside of God’s love, everyone, every single person is included.   I find that as my perception of who my heavenly Father is, who Jesus is, and who the Holy Spirit it, the more my heart warms with authentic love for all of humanity.   If you want to mature in your faith, then love for others, must be the evidence!  Enjoy this message!

It Is Impossible To Make Jesus the Centre Of Your Life.  Who is Jesus?  He is NOT the centre of your life, marriage, or job.  Churchy-anity (the Christian Religion) has told believers that they have to ‘make’ Jesus lord of their life, marriage, or job but this is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE!  When you tell someone they ‘have to do something’ it becomes a ‘work’ that becomes futile and leads to tremendous frustration.    It will be all up to ‘you’ and your efforts to focus, work, pray, do better, etc.. and this is not the abundant life we have been called to.  The reason it is impossible to ‘make Jesus the centre of your life’ is because …..oh wait, you need to watch the video!!   Enjoy today’s message.

Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.  Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.  Colossians 3:1-4 (NLT)

(*short summary, Jesus ‘IS’ our very life, so you can’t ‘make’ him your centre!  Instead, we are called to live from His life in us (abiding in Christ)…enjoy this very encouraging message!!)

An Attitude Of Thanksgiving:

Being thankful should not be limited to one day a year, and it isn’t. (at least is shouldn’t be) What this one day does do is make us stop collectively as a nation and focus on all that has been provided for us.  It should cause us to look to the source of all our provisions and be thankful.  An attitude of thankfulness needs to be extended to those who have gone before us, and towards the one who is our actual provider, our Lord and Saviour. Enjoy this message as we dig into the importance of being thankful and what Scripture has to say about what our attitude should be.

WHY and WHAT TO REMEMBER:  While today we remember 9-11, it has caused me to look at how the Bible calls us to remember certain things for certain reasons!!  This is a VERY encouraging message challenging us to remember a history of God’s faithfulness and how he identifies with our history and pain.  We are not alone on our life journey, someone fully understands and walks with us through it all.  Our focus is not on ourselves….at all!  I wonder what our focus should be??

That is NOT in the Bible, part 3! Have you ever heard phrases or quotes that ‘sound’ like they are from the Bible…only to find out they are NOT! That is what today’s message is all about!  TODAY is Part 3 so make sure you go back and hear parts 1  & 2.  Humour and facts that will surprise even the most seasoned believers!! Today’s point is that ‘Being Right or MORE right is not what relationships are about.  It is time to ditch trite chiches and use words that build relationships, not phrases that distance or separate people.
