The Power of the Covenant Meal

By Central

In this message we explore the power of the meal which we share to mark Jesus’ death and resurrection, the New Covenant in His body and blood. We consider the ‘Power of REMEMBRANCE’, the ‘Power to REALISE’ His love for us, the ‘Power to RENEW’ our love for Him, and lastly the ‘Power to RECLAIM’ that which we’ve lost, or let go of, from the promises of His Covenant. If God did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us, how much more will He not give us all things (Rom 8:32). We shouldn’t therefore settle for anything less than God’s best for our lives!

Refreshed In The Lord

By Central

Our God-given mandate is to reach out to the Harvest; to be a REFUGE for the Needy, to REFRESH the Weary, to RESTORE the Broken and to REDIRECT the Lost. In this message we look at what it means to be REFRESHED in the Lord ourselves, by being rooted in Jesus, … in the dry place, the hostile place, and most of all in times of prosperity. We daily face the decision of whether to be sustained from the Fountain of Living Water, or to dig our own leaky wells!

Created For Covenant

By Central

We were ‘Created for Covenant’ – to enjoy the love which the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have shared together for eternity. In this message we consider how Covenant formed the cradle of creation; we step back to see it as the unstoppable wave of God’s purpose through world history, and look ahead to understand how it also holds the key to our future, maturing into our God-intended true potential as His children, within our Covenant relationship with Him.

God our Refuge

By Central

Our God-given mandate is to reach out to the Harvest; as a REFUGE for the Needy, to REFRESH the Weary, to RESTORE the Broken and to REDIRECT the Lost. In this message we look at what it means for us to know God as OUR REFUGE. Only then can we offer what we have to others – A Refuge from SIN that holds creation in bondage, the SHIFTING SANDS of the world and the SECRETS of men. Like the Cities of Refuge from the Old Testament God wants us to be accessible, prominent and prepared.

Reaching Out to the Harvest

By Central

We have the divine Seed within us to enable us to fulfil our Mission of filling the earth with God’s glory.
