Most people don't realize how important humility is to God and how much he hates pride. This week we talk about how to STAY humble.

Most of us would say we don't struggle with pride... Until you listen to today's sermon. Pride is something that can destroy you but Humility on the other hand unlocks God's blessings. Let's learn how to identify and deal with pride in our lives, and move closer towards habits of humility.

We’re busy with a series called The Power of Prayer.We started off looking at the prayer of Jabez and we learnt two veryimportant things – God wants to bless His children, and that we need toask for the blessing. James says, "you have not because you ask not."

Prayer is one of the most powerful and important things we can do on this earth. Amen! But if we really lived like we believed that, wouldn't we pray a lot more!? Be motivated today towards a deeper prayer life.

There are a number of prayers recorded for us in the Bible. Today we are taking a look into Jabez's prayer of blessing.

Let's be honest, some people aren't very lovable. Offences are going to come - it's a part of life. Today we look at how to deal with these offences.

​Do you remember when you first met Jesus? You were so excited about Him and felt so much love for Him. How intense is your love for Him today? If it's any less than it was you are not alone - but we want to ignite that passion again today!

One of the reasons we battle with patience is because it's counter cultural. God wants to develop patience in us. 

The Bible tells us over and over not to fear... and yet we still do! Why? Jonathan helps us to see deeper into this topic and challenges us to rise above fear, and overcome it.
