LIFE Adelaide

We are not called to be comfortable, we are called to bear fruit! This week, Jacob Meinel reminds us that we are made for more. God has called us, anointed us, and crafted a plan - are we willing to journey with Him?

There is more that God has ahead of us! This Father’s Day, Ps Dan encourages us to engage in a transformation journey with Christ. His presence precedes us, His presence is with us and His power fills us.

Jesus is our source, nothing else can sustain us the way He can! This week, we wrap up our series ‘Lessons in the Wilderness’ with a special Q&A from our panel as we hear their stories about God’s provision during their wilderness seasons.

This week, we continue our series ‘Lessons in the Wilderness’ as Ps Graeme encourages us to remember the promises that God has given us as we navigate the wilderness. When God is for us who can be against us!

What do we do when the promise isn’t here yet? This week, Ps Dan continues our series ‘Lessons in the Wilderness’ as he reminds us that how we reach the promise matters just as much as the promise does. God will use the wilderness for our transformation, these seasons are not just for waiting but rather for formation.

If we wait until we understand everything, we will not obey anything! This week, Jacob Meinel continues our series ‘Lessons in the Wilderness’ as he encourages us to trust the Lord and obey all the way! The overflow power of God often lies in the other side of obedience! 

What do you do when the road doesn’t seem to make sense anymore? This week, Ps Dan begins our new series ‘Lessons in the Wilderness.’ If we want a deep faith, we have to be willing to find God in the midst of our wilderness seasons. 

We are not different to the rest of the world because we are better, but because we have the Living God within us! Today, Ps Mark Varughese encourages us on how we can be Salt & Light in our world.

This week, we continue our series ‘The Church’ with a message from Ps Graeme Leske as we explore what it means to be planted. Being planted goes beyond institutional loyalty, it is a vital connection to Christ. We do not produce fruit from staining or striving but instead from abiding in Christ.

This week, we continue our series ‘The Church’ with a special message from Ps David Doery as we explore how to be people of His presence. Church is not a building, not just a Sunday service and not just a man’s idea. It is God's design to carry out His purpose in our lives and in the world!

This week, we kick off our new series ‘The Church’ with a message from Ps Dan McGaw as we explore God’s design for The Church. The church is not a building, it is a holy people. We are the church!

This week, we are joined by Ps Craig Clark as he encourages us that we have been healed to see with clarity. We receive vision from the Word of God as we walk with him!

This week, we conclude our Expansion series with a message from Ps Dan McGaw! The miraculous often starts with an unconventional request but miracles are unlocked when we respond in faith!

This week, we continue Expansion with a special message from Ps Dustan Bell! God is willing to work his plan through imperfect people; if we offer what we have to God, He is able to bring glory and honour to it.

This week, we continue our time of Expansion as Ps Dan McGaw encourages us to live a life where generosity overflows. God never intended generosity to be an event we participate in but a ministry we carry! 

This week, we kick off our time of Expansion with a special message from Ps Jabin Chavez! Why generosity?… the world of the generous gets larger and larger; those who help others are helped!

This Pentecost Sunday, we are joined by Ps Nadia Clark as she reminds us that there is more! There is so much more God wants to reveal to us, we can’t let ourselves become complacent. We have been given the Holy Spirit so that we might not just know about God, but so we could experience him.

This week, we are joined by Ps Graeme Leske, as he continues our series ‘Tear Down the Idols’ as we look at how control can replace our trust in God. Control is a mere illusion, while God’s character and Word is sure.

Success is not wrong, but it was never meant to be your shepherd! This week, Ps Dan continues our series ‘Tear Down the Idols’ as we reflect on how we view success. Wanting to succeed is not wrong but when we begin to build our worth on it, we allow it to become our shepherd.

Comfort is often an invisible but rather persuasive idol in our hearts and lives. This week we are joined by Ps Luke de Jong as we continue our series ‘Tear Down the Idols’. When comfort becomes our god, we stop growing, we stop serving people, and stop following Jesus. 

It’s possible for us to look close to God, but actually be distant from him. This week, Pastor Jacob continues the series on ‘Tearing down the Idols’, and explores the idol of self-image, and how we were created to bear Gods image and not our own.

Am I abiding in Christ or striving in my own strength? This week, Ps Ashari continues our ‘Tear Down the Idols’ series by expanding on the idol of independence. The world says that we need to be self-sufficient, but God says that we were designed for relationship. Spiritual maturity isn’t becoming more independent, it’s growing in our dependence on God!

Many of us say that God is first in our worlds, but our lives tell a different story. This week, Ps Dan kicks off our new series ‘Tear Down the Idols’ as we reflect on what we are prioritising in our lives. Idols promise life but will only drain us - only God will truely satisfy our Spirit.

“Suddenly there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord came down, and rolled aside the stone …” This Easter Sunday we gather together to celebrate the risen Christ! As Christians we can live with the expectation that God can work powerfully and suddenly in our lives.

So often we become focussed on solving our problems, but what if it is not a problem to be solved, but a lack of oil sustaining us? This week, we are joined by Ps Craig Clark who encourages us to fill ourselves with fresh oil. God calls us to live lives that have an abundance of oil!

Just because it’s dormant, doesn’t mean it’s dead. God is calling us to reignite the gifts that He has given us. This week, Ps Dan encourages us to ‘stir the flame, and silence the fear!’ We must engage in a spiritual battle against a spirit of intimidation - God wants to ignite what a spirit of intimidation seeks to smother.

Hope is not blind optimism, it is confident expectation in the character of God. This week, Ps Ashari concludes our series on prayer as she encourages us to pray with hope and expectation! Hope is a decision to see the yet to be seen as though it already is.

… and without faith it is impossible to please God. This week, Ps Jacob continues our series on prayer as we explore what it means to pray with faith. Prayer is one of our greatest acts of defiance against the enemy - it is a powerful weapon!

Prayer is a divine invitation to communion with God in everything! This week, Ps Ashari begins a new series centred around the power of prayer. If we fail to enter into prayer we fail to enter into the majority of blessings God wants to impart to us! 

Being a Christian means we've been called to a lifestyle of following. This Discipleship Sunday, Ps Dan McGaw shares our part to play in seeing multiplication take place in the Kingdom of God.

This Empower Sunday, we gather together as Ps Luke de Jong shares our focus for the year ahead - Fresh Oil. God is willing to fill any room that we create for him, not only to bless us, but the generations to come.

In the same way that physical hunger leads us to food, spiritual hunger leads us to Jesus. This Communion Sunday, we remind ourselves that Jesus is our source. He is the ‘true bread of heaven’ that sustains our spirit when we are in relationship with Him.

This morning, Ps Dan McGaw unpacks the discipline of prayer and fasting. Fasting is about going without food so that we will rely on our true source, God. It is a process of emptying ourselves so that we may see Jesus come and fill us up again.

This Christmas season, Ps Dan encourages us with the story of a Leper’s encounter with Jesus. Where everyone else moved away from the leper, Jesus stepped forward. In the same way Jesus steps into our mess, not around it, and gives us healing and wholeness.

Jesus gave an invitation to his disciples that he still extends to us today, “come and see!” This Christmas season, Ps Ashari encourages us to take Jesus’ invitation to come and see - to experience Jesus, ultimately being transformed by him. This season let’s ’go and tell’ encouraging others to come and see Jesus for themselves.

Money has the power to be a great tool or hurdle for building the Kingdom, depending on what we allow to rule us. This week, Ps Dan concludes our ‘Money Matters’ series, speaking to how placing Jesus as Lord over our finances will guide us to set up future generations and build the Kingdom.

Money has the power to build or to destroy - what matters is how we steward it. This week, Ps Dan continues our series ‘Money Matters - a Pathway to Financial Freedom’ as we look at the four principles of stewarding, seeding, saving and spending.

Money is a terrible master but a great servant, what matters is our perception. This week, Ps Dan kicks off our new series ‘Money Matters - a Pathway to Financial Freedom’ as we debunk common money myths.

Blessed are those who are poor and realise their need for God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. This week, we are joined by Ps Nadia Clark from LIFE Melbourne as she encourages us to live the Counter-Cultural way. Throughout history there is a powerful narrative of Christians standing against the status quo and changing lives for generations to come, we have a choice to pick up and continue this good fight.

This week, we conclude our relationship series ‘Mates, Dates and Marriages,’ as we look at how to correctly address conflict in our relationships. The question isn’t whether or not we should fight, it’s how to fight right. After every conflict should be a reconciliation and a resolution that comes from seeking God.

God's design for sex and intimacy is counter to what the world says. Culture has opinions, but God has the final word! This week Ps Dan & Ashari McGaw unpack what Godly sex and intimacy looks like and the path forward to healing and restoration.

This week, we continue our series 'Mates, Dates & Marriages' and are talking all things dating. God's way isn't just the right way, it works!

This week, we continue our new relationship series ‘Mates, Dates and Marriages,’ as we look to the foundations of all types of relationships. Today, we look to Song of Songs to learn what Godly attraction looks like. The world gets caught up on attraction to external things but we should be more concerned with the internal - the marker of true beauty.

We don’t drift into Godly relationship by accident, we build them intentionally. This week, Ps Dan continues our series ‘Mates, Dates and Marriages,’ as we discover the importance of Friendships built on biblical foundations. Two people are better than one, for they can help each other succeed!

We are called to live in relationships as God intended them to enrich our lives. This week, we kick off our new relationship series ‘Mates, Dates and Marriages,’ as we look to the foundations of all relationships. God ordains this as the most important commandment, love God with all your heart and love your neighbour as yourself.

Where we go to for our source of sustenance matters! This week, Ps Luke de Jong leads us through the story of Jesus encountering the woman at the well as he teaches on how we can go from parched to pouring. While the things of this world may quench our thirst for a day we ultimately become parched again, Jesus however, provides a way where we can be sustained for eternity.

This week, Ps Dan concludes our series ‘You asked for it!’ as we look at some of the most commonly asked questions from our congregation. As human beings we were created to worship something! This week, we dive into the question, ‘How do I worship?’ as we discuss our innate desire to worship.

This week, Ps Dan continues our series ‘You asked for it!’ as we look at some of the most commonly asked questions from our congregation. The Bible encourages us to be persistent and continuous in our prayer! This week, we dive into the question, ‘How do we pray?’ as we unpack a biblical pattern to prayer.

Ps Jacob Meinel continues our 'You Asked For It!' series as we unpack the question: How do I know the will of God? God's will is revealed one step of obedience at a time, in His Word and in our Surrender.

This week, Ps Ashari continues our series ‘You asked for it!’ as we look at some of the most commonly asked questions from our congregation. We all know reading our Bible is an important practice but sometimes it is easier said than done. This week, we dive into the question, ‘How do we read the Bible?’ as we explore the practice of Lectio Divina - a slow practice to reading inspired by the Holy Spirit.
