Our Kingdom series continues this week with Maria Mason bringing a fresh look at Matthew 6, where Jesus taught us: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” This is the call to surrender our ability to trust in our capacity and go after God’s supernatural provision. The Lord promises us that He will provide when we build the foundation of trust and placing Him first! What a promise! God’s plan is to get our attention for a fresh foundation in our walks with Him. A life of surrender where we are completely confidant and trusting that He will come through when we place the Kingdom as the first priority.When we build this foundation of committing our ways to Him and pursuing Him radically despite the cost, we are setting ourselves up for “all these things” being added. There is nothing He won’t do for you, according to His perfect will. There is nothing that He can’t supply. His provision is limitless, and He says to trust His nature like the birds do!

Maria Mason takes us on a journey that starts in Acts 12 with Peter being freed from the prison of confinement to liberty as a son who comes alive in the power of God. His journey was from the orphan (who has the wrong reactions to everything), to a son, and then on to an heir! This is an outstanding prophetic picture of our walk with the Father.  Peter was later instated by Jesus as the founding leader of the church, and went on to write such profound epistles that are of course emotional discipleship material! How did he grow? He submitted to the processes of God and moved from resistance to courage, from fleshly responses to Spirit inspired ones. He was a stunning example to us of the inner transformation that God does and wants to do, for all the children of God. In Luke 15 we see the son who comes home to the Father to receive of the Father’s provision. To do so, he had to let go of his pride, fear, and independence. The alternative is we can become like the elder brother who is “smouldering with resentm

Under the heading of The Kingdom of God, Phil Mason introduces a new series titled ‘Receiving the Kingdom.’ In this introductory message Phil outlines what it means to personally receive the kingdom. It is the Father’s good pleasure to give us the kingdom and Jesus said we must become like little children to receive the kingdom. How do we posture our hearts to receive God’s kingdom into our hearts? And what is on the menu? Phil revisits the theme of revelation, power and love as it applies to the transformation of our mind, will and emotions. Join us in exploring the theme of personal kingdom transformation.

Our next talk in the Kingdom Series, comes from the Saturday morning of our great weekend with Ken Fish!Ken is a powerful American revivalist with over 40 years of ministry under his belt, of traveling the globe preaching, teaching and doing the work of the Kingdom!This weekend marked his 100th trip to Australia and we were SO thrilled to celebrate this milestone with him, and privileged to receive his equipping to our community! In this message Ken refocus' us to the power and importance of the prophetic, in catalysing revival. Stating that each move of God was preceded with an extortionary prophetic word or sign! These were steeped in anointing and backed by not only scripture, but multiple signs and markers .Referring to many of the messianic prophecies, then the angelic encounters Joseph experienced, Ken uses the lead up to Jesus' birth to unpack this process. Ken also uses a prophetic word he received during the worship time, 'prophecy is designed to extrude us'! He goes on to show how this extrusion pro

In this next instalment of our Kingdom Series, Rosie looks at the kingdom principle of honour. Rosie unpacks the connection between honour and authority in the kingdom and the importance of understanding and walking in honour both towards each other in the church and towards those in positions of authority in our wider world. In chapter 10 of the gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells his disciples that there is a reward attached to the kingdom principle of honour. Jesus sends them out to minister with authority in his name and tells them that, anyone who receives them also receives him, and anyone who receives him receives the one (Father) who sent Him. In the next sentence Jesus then goes on to tell them, “anyone who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and anyone who receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward”. Then finally, whoever receives any of his disciple and gives, “these little ones even a cup of cold water

In part 3 of this series, Phil Mason introduces what he calls the Seven Pillars of Kingdom Ministry. Based upon Luke 4:18, the seven unique expressions of Jesus’ kingdom ministry outline the scope of all that God has on the menu for each of us as we posture our hearts to receive everything He came to earth to release. The Seven Pillars also outline the kingdom ministry to which Jesus calls us as we join Him in advancing the kingdom. Let this message spark in you a kingdom revolution as you become activated in kingdom ministry. 

In Part Two of Phil’s series on the Kingdom of God he explores the nature of the coming of the kingdom. God’s kingdom is revealed in three dimensions. As we explore the ministry of Jesus, we discover that He ministered in sign, word and deed. The sign dimension unveils the power of God. The word dimension unveils the revelation of God, and the deed dimension unveils the love of God. Kingdom ministry is 3 dimensional. It is the outpouring of revelation, power and love, sometimes singularly as when Jesus was teaching or when He was healing the sick but sometimes, He would minister three streams simultaneously. Once we establish that the kingdom is poured out in 3-D we can position ourselves to receive each of these three streams. This is how we receive the kingdom as little children. Jesus said, “Let the children come to Me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” (Matthew 19:14 NLT)

We are beginning a new series on the Kingdom of God. Phil is passionate about kingdom theology and in this message he gives an introduction to Jesus’ teaching on the kingdom. The kingdom message was always front and centre for Jesus. He proclaimed the presence of the kingdom and He demonstrated the power of the kingdom.  God wants the kingdom to be front and centre in the life of every believer. That is why Jesus commanded us to “seek first the kingdom of God.” Join us on this journey as we explore the kingdom theme and the way the kingdom message is intended to define the church.

Does God minister to the imaginations of our hearts? Yes! In this podcast, Christopher takes us through some of the many biblical accounts of God ministering to our hearts and the visions we hold there. God’s prophetic ministry to our imagination is a ministry to our hearts. It’s a combination of firstly exposing what’s in the heart, limiting our vision, and encouraging us to let go of those imaginations. Secondly, energising us towards receiving God’s ways and God’s vision in the imaginations of our hearts. For us to engage in this ministry our hearts need to soften before God. This is done through persevering in our faith, abiding in God’s loving presence and beholding God’s Word. Allowing His Word to paint pictures in our hearts of what it looks like to live in full agreement with what His Word promises.  God is wanting to build up our awareness of imagination and how it connects to our hope, faith and the realisation of God’s promises. It’s time for the church to not shrink back but instead boldly and cre

Our Perspective matters as it affects everything in our lives. In part one we talked about the battle that rages over our perspective. In this second instalment Rosie unpacks the power of having the perspective of the Father and what our perspective as adopted children of God is called to look like.   The Father is calling for us to live from the Truth of who we are as his children, to throw off and turn from all other perspectives.
