What's the difference between excellent and perfect? Between excellence and perfectionism? Chevon shows us why, in order to carry a standard of excellence, we don't need to be perfect. In fact, we will not achieve excellence by demanding perfection. Let's aim for excellence. Here's how...

Kingdom Come: Excellence – Chevon Taylor

Why should we value leadership? Who do you call in your life's dark moments? Who do you speak to in life-changing events? We all need leaders in our life. Leaders who care. Dave shares an amazing story of leadership which resulted in the building of our church complex against all the odds - and shows us what a good leader is and does, and why good leaders are absolutely essential for life to function well.

Kingdom Come: Leadership – David Belfield

When you honour other people, you honour God. But what does that mean? And how do you honour someone? Ben brings out three practical aspects for honouring people - from a Bible story in which an immoral woman wonderfully and publicly honours Jesus.

Kingdom Come: Honour II – Ben Tarbuck

Honour is totally underrated. Honour shows how much you love someone. Ben shares two stories: one of when Jesus was honoured and one when he was dishonoured - and what happened as a direct result.

Kingdom Come: Honour – Ben Tarbuck

It's your values that make you who you are. And just like we have our own values, the Kingdom of God has values. But what are these values? They're practical values about family life, work, thought life, citizenship... Steve unpacks six Kingdom values, and reveals the one key to how we can live them out successfully.

Kingdom Come: Kingdom Values – Stephen Matthew

The best unions are built on shared values. So Rachel shares one of our core values: Generosity. When we experience God's generosity, it changes us. And when we are generous, our lives become much bigger. Rachel shares stories of how individuals' generosity helped her personally, and she tells us how our generosity can positively affect others.  

Kingdom Come: Generosity – Rachel Calland

Never underestimate the importance and power of core values in your life. Why? Because you are the sum total of your values. And you give time and money to whatever things you value - they're a big deal. David compares "the value of" versus "the values of" and encourages us to hold onto our values. Values will always keep you where trends leave you. It's all about staying strong to your core values.

Kingdom Come – David Belfield

Words change over time. So Chevon looks at the words "mission" and "family". It's all about extended family - with a purpose, with a charge, going with authority. Sharing some personal stories, Chevon looks at what "Family on Mission" means for her and her family - and what it means for the church today.  

Family on Mission – Chevon Taylor

Sometimes we feel disappointed if what we pray for doesn't happen in the way we want. It causes us to be weary. But prayer is much more than that. It's the first step of action. Rachel challenges some erroneous beliefs about prayer. She tells us that prayer is the antidote to that lost connection between us and our Heavenly Father. Talking to and listening to Him. Listen in as Rachel unpacks the amazing pattern of The Lord's Prayer - and what that can mean to us every moment of every day. 

Lost Connection – Rachel Calland

Ever reminisced what it would be like to be young again? We are actually called "children" of God. But what does that mean? Kofi looks at when Jesus had a conversation with a senior and respected religious leader, Nicodemus, about how to be born again and have a brand new relationship with God.  

To Be Young Again – Kofi Affram

Ben asks us "What is prayer?" - and concludes it's talking to and listening to God. Just like Jesus did. Then, with personal stories and lots of humour, he shows us how Jesus prayed - and gives us eight different methods that we can use when we pray; methods that you can choose from to suit your own individual personality perfectly.

Sacred Signal – Ben Tarbuck

Sometimes we feel dry and empty. But God wants to show us the reality of our situation so that we can speak and change it. So today, Dave preaches - and asks everyone else to prophesy, to speak life.

Rattle – Dave Belfield

Keeping things in life in a healthy balance is important but sometimes tricky. It's about carrying things well... in balance. When the balance is right, the burden is light. But what things do we carry? And how?  Steve identifies the things and the way to maintain a healthy balance for a good life. 

Balance – Stephen Matthew

A question Rich often invites people to ask is, "Holy Spirit, what are you inviting me into today?" Usually, it's small and meaningful things rather than massive visions. So Rich encourages us to go for the new V. Forget about being part of Gen X, Gen Y or Gen Z. What's the new V? Listen to Rich's challenging and inspiring talk to find out.

The New V in Town – Rich Martin

In the final session of "I am a Disciple", Ben Tarbuck asks Ollie, Dan and Abi to share their personal stories of change and challenge throughout the series.
