The Pruning of God and the Mountains of Impossibility
Are there places in our lives where we have quietly settled for something less than the freedom and fruitfulness Jesus paid for? In this message, Debbie takes us into John 15 and Jesus’ picture of the vine, the branches and the Father as the gardener. Through the agricultural language of grafting...
-
My House - Part 3 - The Church and The Nations
What does God have in mind when He builds His house? The biblical answer is much bigger than we often imagine: He has the nations in mind. In Part 3 of the My House series, Tim traces a thread through Isaiah 2, Psalm 2 and Ephesians 3 that reveals the extraordinary scope of God’s intention for…

My House - Part 2 - What His House Produces
If God’s house is the place where His presence dwells, then what should that presence produce? In Part 2 of this series, Tim moves from exploring the nature of God’s house to asking what happens when His house is established according to His design. Drawing together the prophetic promise of…

My House
What is the Church Jesus is actually building? In this message, Tim explores one of the great biblical themes that runs from Genesis to Revelation: the House of God. While we’ve often understood the Church through the lens of the ecclesia, this message introduces another equally important picture…
more -
The Deborah Anointing
In this powerful Mother’s Day message, Debbie explores the story of Deborah in Judges 4 and 5 and unpacks what she describes as “the Deborah anointing” — an anointing marked by wisdom, worship, humility, courage and spiritual authority. Beginning with the name of God, El Shaddai, Debbie reflects…

Threshold Tactics - Silencing Backlash and Birthing Promises
We are in a threshold season. And thresholds require a different posture. In this deeply prophetic and pastoral message, Michelle Wilson explores the contrasting responses of Zechariah and Mary to the announcement of impossible pregnancies in Luke 1. Both were visited by the angel Gabriel. Both...
-
Displacing Powers and Taking Cities
The Great Commission was never just about people. It was always about nations. In this message, Tim brings together the threads of the past few weeks and reveals the fuller picture of what it means to displace powers and take cities. Starting in Matthew 28 and moving through the book of Acts, we...
-
The Powers, Ideologies, and Discipling Nations
Our battle is not against flesh and blood — but if we don’t understand how that battle works, we’ll fight in the wrong place. In this message, Tim builds on the foundation of principalities and takes us into the next layer: powers — the spiritual forces that shape ideologies, systems of thought,...
-
The Lion, The Powers, and Cosmic Geography
Our battle is not against flesh and blood. In this message, Tim takes us deeper into the unseen framework behind that statement — tracing a biblical worldview from Deuteronomy 32 through to Ephesians 6 that reveals the reality of territorial powers, spiritual authority, and the cosmic nature of…
more -
Getting To Know The Lion
In Matthew 11 we encounter a surprising moment: John the Baptist — the greatest of the Old Testament prophets — sends word to Jesus from prison asking, “Are you the Coming One, or should we expect someone else?” How does the very prophet who declared “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin...
-
It's Time To Level Up - Part 2
Levelling up sounds inspiring. But what does it actually require? In Part 2 of this message, Tim moves from prophetic theme to practical framework. If 2026 is a year to level up, then we need more than language — we need transformation at the level of our internal operating system. Opening in...
-
How To Position Yourself In The Shaking
The world is shaking. The church is shaking. But God is not. In this tag-team message, Tim and Debbie name the tremors rocking the body of Christ and the broader world — from public moral failures in high-profile ministries to the collapsing foundations of celebrity church culture. Against that...
-
It's Time To Level Up
What if the limits you’ve accepted as normal… aren’t even close to God’s version of normal? In this end-of-year message, Tim calls us to confront the thinking that has kept us playing small — not just in areas of obvious struggle, but in the zones where we’ve “settled” for good instead of...
-
Thanksgiving - Part 2
“Thanksgiving isn’t polite appreciation. It’s powerful, prophetic agreement.” In Part 2 of this transformative series, Michelle Wilson leads us deeper into the biblical pattern of thanksgiving — not as something offered after a miracle, but as a bold, faith-filled act that precedes breakthrough....
-
Thanksgiving - Part 1
“Not giving thanks is a slippery slope to forgetting, which is a slippery slope to idolatry.” In this timely and insightful message, Michelle brings fresh revelation on the power of thanksgiving — not as a vague attitude of gratitude, but as a spiritual weapon that aligns our hearts, our worship,...
-
Taking Our Voice Back
“You are noble. You have a voice. And it’s time to take it back.” In this powerful and deeply prophetic message, Megan Edward calls us to step fully into the identity God has spoken over us: a people of nobility, dignity, and authority. Building on a word from Sandra Sellmer-Kersten — nobility —...
-
The Need For A Discernment Upgrade
In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk this past week, Tim challenges us on our need for a discernment upgrade in the body of Christ. One factor that increases our discernment is seeing patterns in Scripture. When you recognise a pattern, you see things in a different light. Tim looks...
-
Ephesians Series - Part 11 - The Battle, The Powers, The Armour
In the final message in this series on Ephesians, Tim looks at 6:10-24. Understanding the nature of the battle is the critical foundation for taking ground and establishing Kingdom territory. Understanding the “powers” empowers us with the knowledge of how the enemy keeps cities and nations in...
-
Ephesians Series - Part 10 - Submit To One Another
In this 10th message on the book of Ephesians, Tim looks at 5:21 - 6:9. This passage of Scripture has been used to justify some of the must destructive practices in the Christian world through an ignorance of the context of the whole passage. The passage speaks to three pairs of people - husbands...
-
Why Jesus Came - To Destroy The Enemy's Work - Combined Churches Regional Gathering
How many of us have been in severe physical pain, and thought to ourselves, “This is awesome - it’s so life-giving…”..? It’s the enemy’s work to steal, kill and destroy. At this second Combined Churches Regional Gathering, Tim Ferris looks at Jesus’ healing ministry through the lens of the…
more -
Ephesians Series - Part 9 - Don't Miss Your Moment
In the ninth message of this series, Tim found some unexpected gold in Ephesians 5:15-20, having planned to start at verse 22 this week. Not all moments are created equal. There are “kairos” moments, where what you choose in that moment has a disproportionate impact. Paul’s counsel here is to not...
-
Ephesians Series - Part 8 - Mature Love Looks Like Something
Tim continues our series on the book of Ephesians, looking at Ephesians 5:1-21. This section follows straight on from chapter 4, taking us into the practical side of mature love. In short, mature love looks like something. The Kingdom of God does require something of us in terms of our behaviour....
-
Ephesians Series - Part 7 - Heaven's Design and Mature Community
Tim takes a second pass at Ephesians chapter 4. Everything that God creates has order and design. His church is no different. He has designed it with offices, anointings, and a structure that, when infused with His presence, results in a mature community that reflects the “measure of the stature…
more -
Ephesians Series - Part 6 - Offices and Anointings that Mature Us
In part 6 of this series on the book of Ephesians, Tim looks at Ephesians chapter 4. This chapter introduces us to the governmental, or ruling offices in the Body of Christ - often referred to as the “5-fold” giftings. The purpose of these giftings is less about running an organisation, and more...
-
By His Stripes We Are Healed - Combined Churches Regional Gathering
In a first of its kind gathering in the Rouse Hill region, many churches gathered to worship Jesus and minister healing. Tim & Debbie Ferris lead the teaching a ministry time from Isaiah 53, where we see that our healing was purchased for us at the cross. As we follow Jesus’ way of ministering...
-
Ephesians Series - Part 5 - Apostolic Intercession
Tim returns to the series on the book of Ephesians, picking up at chapter 3, verses 14-21. Here we see an apostolic prayer of Paul’s where he opens the curtain and gives this body an insight into how an apostle prays. It’s a different kind of prayer than one a pastor prays. This powerful prayer...
-
The Ekklesia Revisited
In this first teaching of 2025 (despite two failed attempts), Tim revisits the foundational teaching on “the Ekklesia” - the Greek word Jesus used when He said, “I will build my church…” A core part of our journey right now is discovering what Jesus really envisioned when He made that statement....
-
Ephesians Series - Part 4 - The Manifold Wisdom of God
In the fourth message in this series on the book of Ephesians, Tim takes us through Ephesians chapter 3 - well some of it anyway... Verses 10 and 11 are some of the most powerful verses in the New Testament in describing how God wants to work through the church to accomplish His mission of…
more -
Ephesians Series - Part 3 - Three Architectures - Us - The Heavenlies - The Church
In part 3 of this series, Tim looks at Ephesians chapter 2. This is a letter to a church that was extraordinary in its influence, such that from Ephesus, the gospel went out and filled Asia as they knew it at the time, and there was nowhere left to for Paul to preach. The start of this chapter...
-
Ephesians Series - Part 2 - The Heavenlies, The Assignment, The Power
In part 2 in this series on Ephesians, Tim opens up the first chapter, which is so rich and full! Ephesians introduces us to the second heaven - the heavenly places, or the realm of the spirit. This is the realm where the mission of the ekklesia is first enacted, and then becomes manifest in the...
-
Ephesians Series - Part 1 - The Letter To The Church That Took A Whole City
Tim begins a new series on the book of Ephesians. Of all of the New Testament letters, and the cities they were written to, the ekklesia is probably best demonstrated here in Ephesus. It is also a letter where we get one of the best and fullest descriptions of the full gospel, that came to a city...
-
Heart Mechanics - Give To Me An Undivided Heart
Have you ever battled with self-sabotaging thoughts, behaviours or habits? Have you ever wanted to really pursue God, but find it hard to sustain that? Have you ever felt like part of you wants God, and another part of you has a completely different agenda? Scripture talks to this. Psalm 86:11...
-
A Different Lens On Your Calling And Assignment
We often think about our calling and assignment in terms of the ground we are to take, the people we are to reach and what we are to do… and that is all absolutely valid. There is a piece of the puzzle that we often miss, and it relates to resolving the unresolved issues - sins, false covenants…

The Higher The Building, The Deeper The Foundations - Sandra Sellmer-Kersten
Our dear friend Sandra Sellmer-Kersten from Elijah House brings a weighty prophetic word to i61 about a season of testing. It takes character to carry the heavy anointing of God. God wants to build in us the character that enables us to carry the gift. God tests us in difficult times, and also in...

-
Getting Established - Part 5 - Established in Destiny and Calling
In the final message for 2023, and the final one for this series on “Getting Established”, Tim looks at getting established in destiny and calling. The process of calling begins with understanding that I am a “sent one”, not just a “saved one”. From there, we go on a process of discovering who we...
-
Getting Established - Part 4 - Established in Love 2
Tim continues the series on “Getting Established”. In part 2 of getting established in love, Tim opens up 1 John 4:7-21 where John delivers us some challenging truths above the nature and practice of love, which are critical definitions in the day we are living in. Then, from Ephesians 3 and 4 we...
-
Getting Established - Part 3 - Established in Love 1
Tim continues the series on “Getting Established”. This message part 1 on getting established in love. Moments of encounter with the Father’s love are so important and wonderful, and yet, we need to steward those encounters well so they lead to being established. There are two things that can’t...
-
Getting Established - Part 2 - Getting Established Economically
In part 2 of this series on Getting Established, Tim looks at getting established economically. God’s heart for His people is that they be completely immune to what is going on in the economies of the world and that they would have their own self-sustaining, abundant economy, so that they never...
-
Getting Established - Part 1
God is not just about saving you, getting you to heaven, and letting you do some good along the way. His plan for you is so much more powerful than that. This is the beginning of a series on “Getting Established”. The action of God to set you up as immune to the conditions of the world around you...
-
The Value of Fathers
In the week following Father’s Day, Tim speaks to the value of fathers. Fatherhood is under attack, and the world is preaching a message that fathers are unnecessary. Yet, so many social statistics tell us the exact opposite. When fathers are absent, things go badly wrong. Malachi foresaw a time...
-
The Epic Quest with Sacred Companions - Part 2
Vaughan Blackwood continues this short series. In this message, Vaughan focuses us on the “sacred companions” by exploring the true nature of covenant love. “Family” is not a goal. It is a by-product of covenant love, which produces the fruit of mature sons and daughters. We are being called into…
more -
The Epic Quest with Sacred Companions
We have been called into an epic quest with sacred companions - a quest that started with Jesus, and was passed to us in the final moments of Jesus’s life on earth. Vaughan Blackwood digs into the beginning of the upper room discourse in John 13 - the final meal Jesus had with the twelve before...
-
The Father Wants His House Back
In a challenging prophetic message for this season of change and transition, Tim opens up Haggai 1 and 2. The remnant had returned from captivity in Babylon but had given up on rebuilding the temple and were just focused on their own lives - living comfortably, while God’s house was still in…

What's The Table You Are Called To Set?
At the start of the year, God spoke two key strategic words to Tim - set the table, and raise the army. (They are on our podcast back in March and April). We are heading into a new wineskin - a new paradigm, and the new is in you … that is, how church will look and what we will do will form…
