Mountain encounters – the transfiguration of Jesus
Thursday Nov 25, 2021
Thursday Nov 25, 2021
Hear Pastor George Ryan talk about how the transfiguration of Jesus, in front of some of his disciples, revealed his true nature, character and power to them. This revealing of Jesus, along with Moses and Elijah, demonstrated the fulfillment of all things in the new covenant that Jesus set in place.
In the same way, a revelation of Jesus can transform your life, and allow Him to speak to you regarding salvation, healing, provision, or any other part of your life.

Mountain encounters – “There’s a crack in the wall“
Monday Nov 22, 2021
Monday Nov 22, 2021
It is important that we persist in prayer like Elijah in order to see the promises of God fulfilled in our lives.
Using the personal experience of hearing the sound of an avalanche while on holiday, before actually seeing the avalanche itself, Sue Dodge talks about how we often get a Word from God in a unspecified time frame before the fulfilment of that Word.
A question to ask ourselves is what do we need to take our eyes off in order that we can focus on God!
Again using the examples of Elijah and his servant, and also the persistent widow that Jesus talked about, hear Sue relate about how if our eyes are focused on God, then faith will arise in our hearts.
We will pray in a different way, with boldness and tenacity!

Monday Nov 22, 2021
Monday Nov 22, 2021
Using the question that Elijah asks the people, “How long will you waiver between two opinions”, hear Pastor Dave Wallace talk about the important question of what are the idols in our society?
He defines an idol as anything that I repeatedly prioritize before God.
In wanting to bring this message in a very encouraging way for each of us, Dave contrasts the bondage of my holding onto a personal idol, with personally experiencing the most powerful, wonderful and compelling Lordship of Jesus Christ.
This can happen once I surrender my idols over to God.

We all have vulnerabilities, and are subject to attack in our lives at times.. A “high experience” in our life can often be followed by a slump. This experience can happen throughout our Christian life.
Hear Pastor Stephen Dodge read and talk about the context to the story of Elijah’s encounter on Mount Carmel in 1 Kings 18 and 19, as well as the story itself. He then applies this to the vitally important question of how we can have victory over our vulnerabilities.

Monday Nov 22, 2021
We have all experienced intimidation at some time in our lives. Or we may even be experiencing it currently.
In this message, hear Pastor Dave Wallace speak on how we can learn to ignore the intimidating messages we so often receive.
Using scriptures such as 2 Timothy 1:7 “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline”, we can heal from past failures and learn how in Christ, we can avoid being intimidated in the future.

Hear Pastor Michael Livengood continue talking about revival. He states that God does not choose to reveal Himself the same way in different churches / places. And asks the question of what does it actually mean when we say that God has shown up?
Michael also shares how revival has a God side and a human side. Part of the God side is saving people, baptizing them in the Holy Spirit and healing people. The result of this is that at some point in a revival we have to position ourselves so that God can move.

Hear Pastor Michael Livengood relate how he has experienced the tangible presence of God at various times in different churches. He explains that there are moments when God turns up in the lives of churches and individuals and that we do not always expect these moments.

Michael asks the question of how do we prepare ourselves for a visitation of the Almighty? He shares how our response when God moves determines what may or may not happen next.
This is a vital message for today!
