Ana highlights the Biblical theme of "up" as a reminder to always look to God and contrast...

He introduces the Psalms as the "greatest hits of ancient Israel"—musical poems capturing the full spectrum of human emotion and worship. Psalm 1 presents a stark, black-and-white choice between two paths: the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. Andrew unpacks the...

In this final message from the Sermon on the Mount series, Chris Adams from YWAM Perth delivers a powerful and practical challenge. He focuses on three well-known illustrations: the two gates, the two trees, and the two foundations. Chris urges listeners to move beyond just knowing these concepts and to build a life on the secure foundation of Christ's teaching, not on the world's shifting sands. This talk i...
In this message, Grant explores Jesus's call to stop worrying. He explains that this is a matter of the heart—where we put our trust. He explores how our hearts are connected to our treasure, whether it's the fleeting things of this world or the secure, eternal things held for us in heaven.

In this message, Steve Bartlett reflects on Mayfield Baptist Church's 100th anniversary, drawing from Psalm 145 to challenge us to three refreshed commitments: to worship God with daily praise, to grow in faith and pass it on to the next generation, and to be driven by God's love to fulfill His mission in the world. He challenges us to be active participants in God's kingdom. To be thermostats for God&a...
Is prayer a spiritual checklist or a genuine conversation with a loving God? In this powerful message, Nathan unpacks the Lord's Prayer, revealing it not just as a set of words to be recited but as a blueprint for a life of intentional and intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father.

In 1961, a young Daphne Robson left her home in Australia to serve as a missionary at the Doctor Graham's Homes for children in Kalimpong, India. What began as a childhood conviction from a single Bible verse blossomed into a life of unwavering faith, selfless service, and unexpected adventure.
In this emotional and insightful conversation, Daphne shares her remarkable story, from her earliest spiritual awakening ...
Nathan's message, "Who Are You Trying To Impress?", delves into Jesus's warnings against religious hypocrisy. He defines hypocrisy as performing good deeds for human praise rather than God's approval. Nathan illustrates this through three spiritual disciplines: giving to the needy, prayer, and fasting. In each case, Jesus calls for these acts to be done in secret, emphasizing that God, who see...
Andrew's message, "Oaths, Retaliation, and Love of Enemy," unpacks Jesus's call to a "good and different" kingdom life. He explains that Jesus demands radical integrity, where a simple "yes" or "no" suffices, eliminating manipulative oaths. Instead of "an eye for an eye," Jesus advocates breaking cycles of violence through creative, non-violent responses like...
Grant's message, "Murder, Adultery, and Divorce," explores Jesus's teaching that these sins originate in the heart, not just external actions. He asserts that anger and contempt are like murder, and lustful thoughts are adultery, emphasizing the sacredness of human life and marital covenants. The message calls for self-examination, urging listeners to replace hate, lust, and betrayal with love, for...
Grant's message, "Jesus Fulfilled the Law," highlights that followers of Jesus are called to be salt and light in the world, preserving goodness and shining brightly in contrast to societal decay. He explains that while the Old Testament law, with its 613 rules, revealed God's call to holiness, it also demonstrated humanity's inability to achieve perfection. Jesus, through his life and sacrifi...
This week, Andrew's message, "The Surprise Blessings of Jesus," introduces the Beatitudes as Jesus's vision for a "good different" life within the Kingdom of God. He explains how these blessings are found in unexpected places, leading listeners through four movements: breaking down (relying on God in difficulty), building up (cultivating godly character), counting the cost (persevering de...
Nathan's message this week introduces the Sermon on the Mount not as strict rules, but as a blueprint for a "good different" life, rooted in God's Kingdom breaking into our world through Jesus. He emphasizes that true repentance means thinking differently, aligning with God's reign that flows from accepting Jesus's lordship, empowering believers to live and proclaim this transformative &q...
This week, Grant ignited our understanding of Pentecost, reminding us it's when everything changed as the Holy Spirit arrived! He challenged us to embrace the Spirit's "weird," disruptive power, moving beyond simply acknowledging Him to actively walking in His supernatural works. Forget trying to keep our lives perfectly neat; the Spirit loves to blow away our plans and bring transformative power, ...
Join Andrew for the final message in our "Generosity Series," as he unpacks what it truly means to "Be Generous to the Poor." In a world often focused on personal accumulation, Andrew challenges us to consider a radical perspective: what does it mean to be "rich towards God"?
Drawing insights from Jesus' teachings and the early church, this episode will provoke you to rethink your rel...
If everything truly belongs to God, how does that change the way we live? Join us for this week's message in our generosity series, "All We Have Belongs to God."
