In this next talk in our series ‘Audacious Faith’, Jamie, through the story of Elisha and the widow’s oil in 2 Kings 4, explores how Audacious Faith ‘Releases Provision’. If we put our trust in God in times of need, or when we don’t have what we really want, we will discover that God is what we really need. When we put our trust in God rather than in the things we have we allow Him to supernaturally provide, out of His abundance, rather than our poverty. Often the first step is to recognise and use what He has already given us, rather than focus on the thing that is lacking. When we act in faith we release His provision and we get to see His faithfulness.

In this fifth in our series ‘Audacious Faith’, John Scott talks about the vital importance of hearing God’s Voice for ourselves. As it says in Romans 10:17 ‘Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ’. Audacious Faith starts by hearing what God is saying, through scripture and by His Holy Spirit. Taking examples from Scripture and personal experience John share how it is vital for each and every follower of Jesus to learn how to hear God’s voice for themselves, if they are to walk in ‘Audacious Faith’.

In this sixth in our series ‘Audacious Faith’, John Scott asks ‘How do we see possibilities turned into realities in our lives?’ The most important shift we need to make is to let go of our Western rationalist understanding of the world that disregards the spiritual and supernatural. We cannot expect to see God move in power in our lives if we are constrained by cultural (secular and religious) norms and expectations. We also need to realise that the issues that afflict us and those we love may have a spiritual root. If there is a spiritual root to our problems, then only being set free from the evil spiritual forces that seek to steal and destroy our lives, (deliverance) will do.

In this next talk in our series ‘Audacious Faith’ Anthony Hilder shares a message that he believes is important for us as a church in this current season. Exploring the call and obedience of Abram in Genesis 11:24-12:8, Anthony identifies how it is vitally important to ‘Say Yes to God’. When God calls you to do something, it is important to ‘Say Yes to God’, even when you don’t know the destination, it is tempting to give up, settle for less or go back to the old ways, you don’t know exactly what God wants you to do, and the thing that God says He will do, or is calling you to appears impossible. God has called us on a journey, to be a dwelling place for Him. We don’t know exactly what that means for us as a church, but it is important that we continue to say ‘Yes to God’ as we embark upon this adventure with Him.

In this next talk in our series ‘Audacious Faith’ Anthony looks at ‘The Wilderness Season’. In our walk with God we will all at some point feel like we are in the wilderness. Anthony explains how God uses these times to shape and prepare us for what He has in store for us. How He uses these times to change our thinking and to increase our level of trust in Him. How He knows just when to end these seasons and that our attempts to escape the wilderness will always mean that we shortcut His work in our lives and inhibit our ability to do all He has for us. In the wilderness, God invites us to partner with Him and allow Him to do His work in us, letting go of the stuff that holds us back and allowing Him to shape us more in His image.
Understanding the Trinity

As we embark upon a new series exploring the person and work of the Holy Spirit, Jamie starts with a talk entitled ‘Understanding the Trinity’. The term Trinity does not appear in the Bible, yet throughout the Old and new Testaments the Bible shows us that while there is only one God, God is the Father, God is the Son and God is the Holy Spirit. Jamie shares that there are a number of analogies that can be used to help explain the concept of the trinity, some are helpful, some are not, most however fail to convey the vital living relationship that exists between Father, Son and Spirit. He goes on to share how the early church fathers used the term ‘perichorisis’ to describe how the Trinity is an eternal dance of the Father, Son and Spirit sharing mutual love, honour, happiness, joy and respect. We are invited to join in with the dance to explore the beauty and wonder that is the triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That is why God sent His Son to die on the cross and His Holy Spirit to fill us and live within us.
