The gospel is the greatest news ever to hit the planet. Whether we are called to the ministry of evangelism or not, we are all called to “do the work of an evangelist.” (2 Timothy 4:5). We all have people in our lives who don't know Jesus and because we know the truth we have a responsibility to share the gospel with others. It is vital that all followers of Jesus know and understand the gospel. It is called “the gospel of grace’ because salvation is a free gift for all who believe and repent. We need to prioritize our own personal understanding of the gospel message so we are ready in season and out of season to preach the good news the way Jesus and the Apostles presented it. Salvation is a free gift, but discipleship costs us everything. When we see what Jesus sacrificed so we could be saved, it moves us to sacrifice everything as our act of worship and devotion to Him. We hope this message from Phil Mason blesses you to carry the good news everywhere you go.

The physical laws of light reveal much about the nature of its Author, Jesus. In this message, you’ll hear how God wrote His name in light and sent it right across the physical universe! It was the first creative act in Genesis! It was Yahweh’s first song…”let there be light...” and it was a glorious display of His power and authority over all creation, “…and there was light.” Jesus is the Light of the world, the Light that leads to life. As the revelation of God’s true nature lights up our hearts, and we syncopate our lives with the gracious breath of Yahweh, we can come to understand what it is we have been given by grace through faith. This is a message to challenge the believer! Do you know what it is you’ve been given? The disciple Peter knew and we take a look at his life in Acts 3 and study the characteristics of his faith to learn from someone who walked in the light of all that had been given to him from Jesus.

This podcast is a recording from an online Book Launch of Maria Mason’s latest book. In this podcast, Phil interviews her about this publication. Here is the back cover of her book: God is looking for prophets to unveil His heart of love!When nations need healing, God raises up sons and daughters who carry His heart. Many believe that prophets have one primary assignment: to guide the church toward revival, but God also wants to bring profound transformation to nations, starting in people’s hearts. Enter, the heart prophet! Heart prophets are feelers, seers and restorers of hearts. They engage with the Spirit via their senses and can uniquely minister His heart of restoration through the five-fold ministry. They carry the message of repentance, restoration, and revival. Heart Prophets receive heaven’s divine intel to communicate God’s feelings and heart. They are wired to feel and release the Father’s love to heal and restore. This book is a unique manual for an emerging generation of prophets, and it will po

Honey bees are super-important pollinators for flowers, fruits and vegetables. This means that they help other plants grow! All honey bees are social insects and live together in nests or hives. The honeybee is remarkable for its movements in the hive to communicate information to its fellow bees about the location, distance, size, and quality of a particular food source in the surrounding area!Bees all have roles to play, and they do their part within the community! Lots could be said here, but Maria then shared from the acronym of BEES - 4 key areas that God is getting us to build as a community this year and that we are going after! 

B for Business - we are actively growing business in 2024 to create Kingdom wealth and blessings. We are reigniting the business breakfast and will host speakers this year to help us grow Kingdom business mindsets!E for Evangelism - we are also reigniting the evangelism push into the region with a team who are working on several fronts to promote the healing and salvation we

The first recorded utterance from the lips of Jesus was “I must be about My Father’s business!” (Luke 2:49). As adopted sons and daughters we are called to a new identity as the immediate family of Jesus: His brothers and sisters. Even at the age of 12, Jesus was already consumed by His Father and the advancement of His kingdom on earth. He laid His life down completely to please His Father and to do His will. Jesus lived by the principle of losing His life in order to find it in the Father. If we are willing to lose our lives we will find real life: eternal life in Jesus. Phil Mason’s first message for 2024 is a fresh call to lose our lives in order to truly find the purpose of our existence: to live for the Father’s business.

Jesus is the God-with-us, our Emmanuel. He gave up everything to be born a baby. He lived among us and so truly does understand humanity. The beginning as well as the end of Jesus' life are the source of our hope and faith. The promise to which we latch our faith is the hope of the experience of the endless love of God cascading into our hearts. Every struggle we go through must be met by love. Our hope is in a Saviour, who is willing to be with us in every situation and will supply every lack that we have. Let this Christmas be the time that you truly encounter the perfect love of Jesus, He is with us!

In this timely message, Rosie shares her thoughts on how we can finish the year strong and set ourselves up to step into 2024 with hope, courage, vision and authority. This message is a call for the church to be intentional this summer as we guard our hearts, practise intentional sonship, “buy” the oil of intimacy with the Holy Spirit and hold fast to our Kingdom vision.As we draw near to the Lord and take time to let go of any cares and burdens we may be still carrying from 2023, we are positioning ourselves to receive a fresh infilling of the Spirit and the fullness of the Father’s blessing this Christmas, and His radical grace, joy and breakthrough in the coming year.

In this message, Phil gave a keynote address to a company of regional leaders at our recent Heart Revolution Leaders’ Refreshing Day. He explored the work of the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Adoption, the work of the Father, and the work of the Son as they intentionally collaborate together to take us deeper in our sonship journey. The Three-in-One desire to birth a similar intentionality in our hearts as we learn to cooperate with them in embracing what Phil calls ‘Deep Sonship.’  This message had a significant impact on our region’s leaders, and we pray it has a similar impact on you as you listen.

As Tribe moves into its silver jubilee celebrations, we were joined by Pastor Fini and so blessed to receive a great word of encouragement about the key values that Tribe has fought for. With great vulnerability, joy and courage, Fini shared six key themes that define Tribe Church:1. The presence of God is a stand-out value!2. Praying for the sick is a passion of this church.3. Ministering to the New Age people at national festivals and in our region has been a constant for many years!4. David’s Tent worship with harp and bowl model of prayer and intercession.5. A passion for theology, including the books that have been written on healing, heart revolution, the glory, community and now sensitive prophetic people. Lastly,6. Tribe Church is a community of love. We live it to the best of our ability. We are not perfect, but we are authentic in our pursuit growing in His ability to love.We pray these values will be blessed and grown in the lives of all who visit, attend and participate in this community of faith.

When He was on earth Jesus went about modeling what it looks like to be on God’s mission. He told the people of His day that he would “only do what he saw His Father doing”. And the Father’s mission was a mission that was compelled by great love!As God’s children we now get to follow in Jesus’ footsteps. God is sending us out on a mission to release His love and freedom into the world around us. However, just because He sends us doesn’t mean that we won’t have to contend as we go.In this message Rosie looks at a day in the life of Jesus and the disciples from the story in Mark 4, where Jesus crosses over to the other side of the lake, but has to calm a storm on the way.Rosie unpacks a number of myths that we can sometimes buy into as we follow in Jesus footsteps and looks at the ways God seeks to strengthen and grow us as we walk with Him.

This November we will be celebrating Tribe’s 25th Birthday! Amazingly this milestone coincides with another significant date in early October, as Phil and Maria Mason celebrate 40 years of marriage, of life in the kingdom and of building and leading missional community together.Phil and Maria got saved and met each other in the Byron Shire during a revival outpouring in the early 80’s. Needless to say the Lord has led them on a wild kingdom ride over the past 40 years, full of ups and downs and loads of glory.In this informal interview Phil and Ree talk about the different ways God has led and sustained them over the years. As a Tribe, this is a season to celebrate and honour all that the Lord has done, as we also look to the days ahead full of anticipation for all He is yet to do.

In our new series, we dive into messages and conversations on how to be a missional community. For us to grow and prosper, both individually and corporately, God wants to resource us with His Kingdom economy. This week, Maria takes us on a journey about the lavish generosity of God. In 1 John 3:1 we read:“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God - and that is what we are!”God is a generous Father who never does anything sparingly. He’s not a tight-fisted god who gives only when we’ve earned something or have impressed him in some way. Humans, however, are not generous until they choose to model themselves on something! In the kingdom, we model ourselves on Jesus! Missional community is a demonstration of the lavish love of the Father.There are three things we can do to break scarcity:1. Before we can address that, we have to expose the devil daily as He attacks God's nature with accusations in this area.2. Generosity is the path to blessing. To break the fear

In this Father’s Day message, Phil discusses what it means to be activated by the Father’s love in such a way that we are deeply awakened to our sonship identity and our divine destiny. Experiencing the Father’s love switches something on inside us and literally activated us on the inside. An activated heart is an awakened heart: a heart that has been awakened by our Father’s love to a state of passion and engagement. All this flows out of encountering the loving heart of our Heavenly Father.

In our new series, we dive into messages and conversations on how to be a missional community. For us to grow and prosper, both individually and corporately, God wants to resource us with His Kingdom economy. Many people have come to believe that it will all happen supernaturally, and God will foot the bill for revival. That is true on one level, but on another level, we are instructed to employ money to grow the Kingdom through entrepreneurial means and through Kingdom wealth. God has an economy, and we get in on it by participating in His strategies for Kingdom wealth! In the scriptures, we see 4 key principles to step into the Kingdom's economy and financial blessings!  Stand firm in a good God who provides for what He orders. And who desires to give us the desires of our hearts to see the Kingdom grow. Immerse yourself in Biblical truth and proclaim His goodness. Give, and it shall be given. The 2nd principle is the principle of giving out of our income regardless of what has come in! We covered 5 ways to

This week Phil brings a message on expanding our influence. Scriptures teach that God’s kingdom is constantly expanding. “Of the increase of His government and peace, there shall be no end.” (Isaiah 9:7) Everything begins in seed form but grows and expands. Jesus told parables to teach us this principle. We are all called to be a part of the expansion of the kingdom and to be looking for opportunities to share Jesus with others, using the gifts God has placed in our lives. We live in the tension between Jesus’ command to abide and to go. The deeper we abide, the more effective we will be when we go! The kingdom of God is within us and as the kingdom grows inside us, that expansion is expressed through the kingdom expanding in the earth. We are poised for great expansion so let’s all take our place in God’s ever expanding kingdom.

In this message by Ken Fish (off the back of our School of Discernment), Ken unpacks an amazing revelation that we have crossed over into a new era in Church history. We must now take possession of new lands and spaces in this time. In Joshua 1 we read: “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” So Joshua ordered the officers of the people: “Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Get your provisions ready. Three days from now, you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.’” We are in the season of the first wave of the harvest! It’s time to begin to believe again for the billion-soul harvest that God has promised. It’s time to take the land and enter into this new place. Yes, the battles have been fierce but we must continue to fight and move forward now. Never think that your gifts will cover your sloppiness. You must be diligent. Let us overcome and prepare for what is ahead! Ke

In Psalm 23, we read, “You prepare a table before me in the midst of my enemies!” What a stunning word picture, that in the midst of our troubles and even in an intense battle - God says to stop at a table and feast on Him. Here’s how it reads in the Passion Translation:  “You become my delicious feast even when my enemies dare to fight. You anoint me with the fragrance of your Holy Spirit; You give me all I can drink of You until my heart overflows. So why would I fear the future? For your goodness and love to pursue me all the days of my life.” The presence of God is a continual feast for our souls. Learning to come to the table of rest and restoration is everything. As David said in Psalm 110, we are called “to rule in the midst of our enemies!” God doesn’t wait for things to get better, He trains your hands for battle on the battlefield. He teaches rest as we advance and even when taking spiritual retreats. It’s all about rest! Our rich heritage as believers includes the contemplative tradition where stil

In the continuation of the Life of the Warrior series, Phil focuses on the theology of spiritual breakthroughs. This is a contentious topic. Some love it, and some loath it. There are times when God calls His people to engage the enemy by pressing in for a breakthrough through prayer and praise. If we don’t respond to the leading of the Spirit, we will miss the breakthrough that God has for us in that moment. Why do we have to contend for what belongs to us through inheritance? We must fight for what is ours because the devil contends against us to prevent us from obtaining our inheritance. The battle has come to us. Therefore we must fight! Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force!” (Matthew 11:12) Just as the Israelites had to take the Promised Land by force, so do we.

Today’s podcast is from three separate speakers. For our Global Village Sunday, we had Pam and Phil Bailey from Gideons Bible Society share with us the value of this great work of placing Bibles in schools, hotels, and other locations. Their passion was incredible. Then we heard an outstanding message from David Myers from Open Doors ministry. Open Doors has been caring for and supporting the persecuted church in the world for many decades. This message from Dave was centred on the promise of persecution, which, Biblically speaking, will grow the Kingdom! Jesus said: “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad because great is your reward.” Matthew 5:11-12 TPT Further to that, we read that “If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.” I Peter 4:14 NIV Lastly, we heard from our dear friends, Ken and Jan Wigley from Iris Ministries. Maria interview

In John 6:45, Jesus continued, “It has been written by the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God himself.’ We are warriors being trained by the Holy Spirit in a unique school called the SCHOOL OF THE SPIRIT. When the Spirit comes to live in us at our New Birth, we receive all of God. Now there is a teacher (the Holy Spirit) inside you! You have the complete package of His Spirit, but we need to learn to walk in it, be trained in it, and then get top-ups! You have signed on to be nurtured, grown, instructed, and built up in your intimacy and faith in Christ through a journey of growth and development. Here are 12 Schools of the Spirit the Lord wants us to take: The School of the Lordship Of Christ The School of Sonship The School of the Father's Voice The School of Sensitivity to the Spirit The School of Love The School of Relational Maturity The School of Worship, Prayer, and the Word The School of Discernment The School of Miracles and the Supernatural The School of Bridal Affection The School of Royalty
