God invites us to draw close to Him - in fact, abiding in Him is necessary to glorify Him. But when we make the decision to chase after His presence we will encounter opposition. In this talk James encourages us to see the opposition for what it is and to keep pursuing God no matter what!

The Israelites were chosen by God and taken from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the wilderness. This was a time of huge upheaval and unsettling for the people who had to learn to put all their confidence and trust in God and to listen and obey His words in order to be the people He was calling them to be. In this talk James talks about the parallels with our lives today and in this season of massive upheaval, and how we need to keep our purpose at the forefront - we've been chosen to glorify God with our entire lives!

In Exodus God makes an incredible promise to Moses and the Israelites “my presence will go with you and I will give you rest”. Many of us do not function out of rest but out of exhaustion. Rather than working for His presence God is inviting us to work from His presence which is the place of rest.

When the Israelites were set free from Egypt God led them through the wilderness with a cloud of smoke and a cloud of fire. His presence was marked by the cloud, it's the place of protection and guidance. Just like the Israelites we too are invited into that place to be overshadowed by the cloud of God. In this season of turmoil and change, God promises protection and rest and guidance under his covering.

The crossing of the Red Sea was the baptism of Israel - it marked the before and after moment. They emerged from the sea as a new nation with a new identity, a new story - no longer bound by their past, or by fear of slavery, oppression and bondage. Listen as James unpacks this moment in Israel's journey and God's invitation for us into new life and freedom in Him today!

The Passover in Exodus is a hugely significant event in history - judgment and liberation in one massive blow. It was so important that Jesus observed the Passover feast and demonstrated that it foreshadowed the ultimate moment of judgment and liberation when He went to the cross. Listen as Rosemary unpacks this incredible story and teaches how we can enter into it today.

Rosemary | Passover | 15-08-2021

Deliverence of the Israelites from slavery and oppression in Egypt required a spiritual victory of God over the gods and powers of Egypt. Each of the ten plagues was God demonstrating his superiority over every other power, His perfect judgment, and prefigured His advancing Kingdom. When King Jesus arrived He announced His intent and purpose - freedom, healing and salvation! God's Kingdom continues to advance today and we are invited to be agents of His Kingdom as we anticipate the return of THE KING!

We are in a spiritual battle. Exodus is the story of an enslaved people being liberated by the hand of God - a spiritual battle in which God utterly defeated the gods of Egypt. The Israelites were set free to encounter God's Presence in the wilderness and to enter in His promises. Likewise, we are in a spiritual battle that we need to be aware of and equipped for as we draw close to God's presence and fullness of life in Him.

We can be unconsciously bracing ourselves against criticisms from outside and inside our heads but we can take a breather in the light of God's face, because He loves us and has plans for us just as we are, with our unique personalities and characteristics.

Rachel Carnie | Being Yourself | 25-07-2021

What do you do when God fails to meet your expectations? The enslaved Israelites response was typical - they gave up and stopped believing because of their broken spirit. In this season God is calling to us to lift up our eyes again, to seek Him again, and to look for the signs of His presence. To not give up but to hold on to hope. To keep coming to him and to not give up.

James | Look for the signs of God's presence | 18-07-2021

Encounters with God come with a revelation of who He is. When Moses encountered the presence of God, God revealed His divine name - the name of the one and only true God and the name that is alive, powerful and available for us today.

James | What's in a Name? | 11-07-2021

We’re a church family in passionate pursuit of the God who loves us abundantly. We’re learning the incredible things God can do when we give ourselves to Him. We’re embracing His transformation in our lives and the promise that through us He can transform our communities.
