Building His Church | Four12

How does God’s design for motherhood reflect His nature? What is God’s plan for mothers? Motherhood is more than a role – it reflects an aspect of God. In this Mother’s Day message, Andrew Selley unpacks the beauty and purpose of biblical womanhood in a culture where God’s design is often challenged. Through Scripture, we see how mothers nurture, comfort, train, and shape lives in unique ways. Andrew highlights the importance of spiritual mothers within the church family. Whether through natural or spiritual children, every woman is called to build life into others and reflect God to the world.

What is the process for us, as saints, to have our needs met in church?In this practical message, Andrew Selley unpacks how God has designed His church to function when caring for people, drawing from Scripture and real-life experience. We are reminded that it begins with openness – speaking honestly and asking for help. At the same time, difficult conversations need to be embraced, as we take ownership and receive correction where needed. As Scripture shapes our expectations, we begin to understand where the church’s responsibility lies, and ours begins.This is a Four12 PodcastAbout the Speaker:Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12 (F12) and the lead elder of multisite, Joshua Generation Church.

Are you gaining knowledge—or actually being shaped into Christ’s likeness? Are we truly learning the way God intends, or simply gathering information? In this session, Andrew Selley challenges modern approaches to teaching and explores the biblical model of discipleship. Andrew contrasts information-driven learning with life-on-life transformation, showing how true growth happens through relationship, imitation, and intentional guidance. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, he unpacks why proximity to godly leaders and practical application are essential for spiritual maturity. This session calls us beyond passive listening into active formation-reminding us that in God’s Kingdom, we are not consumers, but disciples being shaped for His glory.

What is holding you back from your purpose in God’s Kingdom? Are your beliefs limiting God’s plan for your life? In this message, Andrew Selley explains that God has chosen every believer to make an impact, but so often learned helplessness, fear, and unbelief hold us back from walking in our calling. Through Scripture, Andrew unpacks this astounding truth: in Christ, believers are called greater than John the Baptist and invited to do even greater works than Jesus. God has more for His church than passive faith and living comfortable lives – He has called us to inherit the nations.

Are we living in both God’s forgiveness and His resurrection? What is the true meaning of Easter? Here, Andrew Selley reminds us that the Apostle Paul calls the death and resurrection of Jesus “of first importance” (1 Corinthians 15v3-4) – it is the two legs our faith stands on. During Easter, we celebrate not only forgiveness through the cross, but also our transformation through His resurrection. These truths cause us to not only believe differently but live differently. Is our faith truly shaped by both forgiveness and resurrection power?

How do we live out faith in a way that pleases God? In this message, Daniel Barnard unpacks what it means to live a life of faith, and so to please God (Hebrews 11:6). He explains that, more than just an internal belief, faith determines how we live - what we do, the decisions we make. As such, it is vital to have a proper understanding of what faith is. True faith stems from the belief that God, who sits on the throne, sees everything and as we bring Him our lives (the good parts, and the mess), it pleases Him. The reward of faith is God Himself - His approval, His pleasure, His nearness. This is a reward much greater than success, influence or reach. This is a Four12 Podcast. About the Speaker: Daniel Barnard serves as an elder in Joshua Generation Church, South Africa. He is married to Samantha, and they have four children. He is passionate about reaching the lost and discipling believers towards all God has for them.

God is always our provider, even when we face lack.We all face moments of doubt, wondering if God will provide. In this message, Ashley Gabriel draws on the story of Ruth to show how easily we can drift from trusting God, especially in uncertain seasons. Through Naomi’s journey and Ruth’s commitment, he highlights the need to trust God daily – not only when things are going well. Sharing from his own life, Ashley reminds us that God often provides in unexpected ways. While we may try to secure our own future, true peace is found in trusting His ways, even when it’s not easy.This is a Four12 PodcastAbout the Speaker:Ashley Gabriel is an elder in The Lighthouse Church, England. He is married to Rhianne and they have two children. Ashley is committed to raising leaders and desires to see God’s Kingdom advance through healthy, thriving churches.

How can we be sure we are interpreting the Bible correctly? In this message, Andrew Selley equips believers with practical tools for reading and studying Scripture so that we can discern God’s truth. By asking whether Christians can be under God’s curse if we do not tithe, Andrew shows how easily we can draw the wrong conclusions when we read isolated verses without considering the wider context of Scripture. Through this message, we are taken on a journey to better understand what God is saying to us, as New Testament believers, through His Word.

How do we discern God’s truth in Scripture beyond our own biases and beliefs? The Bible is not just a text to study – it is the living Word that examines our hearts. In this message, Mike Davies shows us how Scripture not only reveals God but also our thoughts and intentions. Too often, we allow our understanding to be shaped by our biases, rather than embracing the whole counsel of Scripture. Mike challenges us to grapple with the tensions and paradoxes in the Word, learning to hold seemingly opposing truths together. As we allow Scripture to search us and balance our theological beliefs, we begin to discern God’s truth more clearly. This is a Four12 Podcast About the Speaker: Mike Davies serves on eldership within Joshua Generation Church, South Africa. He is married to Chantal, and they have two daughters. He loves to see people equipped to effectively serve the Kingdom of God through teaching and writing.

In uncertain times, is Jesus still our greatest help and treasure? Mike Davies invites us to consider where we look for strength, security, and direction as followers of Jesus, taking inspiration from the words of David, “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?” (Psalm 121v1, ESV)By looking at Scripture, Mike exposes the subtle pull of distraction, fear, nostalgia, and self-reliance – and points us to the freedom found in fixing our gaze on Christ. This message calls us to walk with endurance, in genuine community, resisting the shortcuts and false securities of the world. As everything around us can be shaken, where will we fix our eyesThis is a Four12 Podcast

How does God give us what we really need?At the centre of our faith is a God who provides exactly what we need. In this message, Andrew Selley draws us back to Jesus, unpacking the biblical revelation of God as Jehovah Jireh—the Lord who provides. Tracing the story from Abraham and Isaac to the cross, Andrew shows how God’s ultimate provision meets humanity’s deepest need: righteousness we could never earn. More than material blessing, God gives Himself to us, asking us to trust Him fully and seek His Kingdom first.This is a Four12 Podcast

Are our Sunday gatherings shaped by Scripture—or by comfort and routine? What if our ‘normal’ church service isn’t actually the New Testament’s normal? In this session, Andrew Selley unpacks what Scripture says should happen when believers gather—from signing psalms, hymns, and Spirit-birthed songs, to biblical teaching, and creating room for prophecy, tongues, and interpretation—all aimed at building up the body. Andrew challenges us to test everything without despising the gifts, warning that tradition and consumer comfort can quietly quench the Spirit. May we return to the Bible’s pattern and welcome Jesus’ full leadership when meeting together. This is a Four12 Podcast

Christ invites us to come and drink the water of life from Him. “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.” (John 7v37, ESV) In this message, Mike Davies unpacks this invitation from Jesus, welcoming us to drink from Him, the living waters. In Scripture, we see many references to water, from rivers to springs. Mike shows us how they all point to Christ, who gives us eternal life and fills us with the Holy Spirit. God’s life in us cannot be sustained by structure, systems, or human effort, but flows freely as we recognise our thirst and turn again to the only true source of life. This is a Four12 Podcast

How do we live with uncompromising faith in this world? Are we aware of how much our environment is shaping us? In this message, Mike Davies illustrates how the culture around us quietly forms our thinking, values, and identity. Drawing from the life of Daniel in Babylon, Mike shows us how we, as God’s people, can live faithfully in this world's system without being shaped by it. Daniel and his men served with excellence and did not compromise—they trusted in God through every trial. Just as their obedience transformed Babylon, we can impact the world around us to advance God’s Kingdom. This is a Four12 Podcast

How does stewarding what Christ placed in us shape future disciples?In this message, Andrew Selley unpacks how God places His spiritual DNA in us when we are born again, by removing our sinful nature and making us a new creation in Christ. But the potential of this DNA must be stewarded well: trained and aligned by good leadership so that we, in turn, make disciples who will impact the nations. God made everything to reproduce after its own kind, and we can shape those coming after us to reflect His glory to the nations.

He is based in California, USA, along with his wife, Emma, and their daughter, Enyah.

How does God work to heal, mature, and sanctify us? In this session, Andrew Selley reminds us that as God’s children, we are all on a journey of transformation to become the people He intended us to be. Salvation rescues us from the kingdom of darkness and transfers us into the Kingdom of Light—but it doesn’t end there. We must go through the processes of sanctification. As the Lord works through the layers of our lives that are not yet surrendered to Him, He heals and matures us to reflect Jesus to the world.This is a Four12 Podcast

Heaven’s greatest treasure isn’t gold — it’s people. Seeing what God values changes how we live and love. The greatest treasure on earth isn’t wealth or success, but people. According to 1 Peter 1:18–20, God did not ransom humanity with silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ. That truth reshapes how the church gathers, loves, and lives — not as spectators, but as family on mission, valuing people the way heaven does. This is a Four12 Podcast

Prophecy is a New Testament gift for the whole church, given to strengthen faith and reveal God’s presence among His people.  Prophecy is not a fringe practice or an optional extra for the church. Scripture calls believers to earnestly desire spiritual gifts—especially prophecy—so that the body may be strengthened, encouraged, and built up. This message carefully unpacks what the Bible teaches about New Testament prophecy, how it differs from the Old Testament, and why it remains relevant and necessary until Christ returns. With clarity and biblical conviction, it invites the church to move beyond fear and confusion, to learn how prophecy is tested, weighed, and practiced within the safety of the Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit. This is a Four12 Podcast  About the Speaker: Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12 and he ministers worldwide. He is also the lead elder of the multi-site Joshua Generation Church. He is based in California, USA, along with his wife, Emma, and their daughter, Enyah. 

A faith that loses its sense of wonder forgets its true purpose—to behold the beauty of Christ.Faithfulness without wonder is a dangerous place to live. In this message, Mervis van der Merwe encourages us find the wonder of God over familiarity. This message is a call back to awe, humility and burning love for Christ.  This is a Four12 Podcast  About the Speaker:  Mervis serves on eldership within Joshua Generation Church, South Africa.

Leave consumer Christianity behind and step into authentic, biblical church. Is my Christianity authentically biblical, or just almost right? Andrew Selley speaks into the vital importance of truly being part of a church, not just following Jesus as individuals. He reflects on how modern churches get some things right but still fall short of the fullness of what the church is meant to be. We are reminded that being added and devoted to a local church family is God’s way, not an optional extra.  This is a Four12 Podcast 

God reveals our idols—not to shame us, but to set us free. How do we recognise the idols in our own hearts? In this message, Andrew Selley shows us that our idols can be found hiding behind the patterns of our old nature, often surfacing in our relationships and church life. The Israelites found mould on their walls, which exposed hidden Canaanite idols—so there are signs in our lives that reveal where God still needs to free us. Instead of hiding our brokenness and sin, we are called to bring it into the light. As God reveals, we can trust Him to heal us and make us more like Jesus.   This is a Four12 Podcast 

Why should we ‘count it all joy’ when we face trials? Have you ever wondered why God allows His children to walk through trials? In this message, Andrew Selley shows that hardship is not random but purposeful—God uses it to mature us and to test the true substance of our faith. These tests come in many forms: physical, spiritual, and relational. Jesus told us we would face trouble (John 16v33), yet it is through these very pressures that our faith is refined and our perseverance shaped. From Abraham and Moses to the early church, God’s people endured long seasons of testing. Will you allow Him to complete His work in you through every trial? This is a Four12 Podcast About the Speaker: Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12 and he ministers worldwide.

Is it permissible for believers to participate in Halloween?   In this message, Andrew Selley reveals the historic origins of this popular festival, showing that Halloween is indeed rooted in the demonic. He further teaches us what the Bible says about opening doors to the spiritual realm and the consequences of participating in activities that glorify darkness. Even those who practice satanism confess that celebrating Halloween gives glory to the devil and opens doors for his kingdom to attack Christians.  This is a Four12 Podcast About the Speaker: Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12 and he ministers worldwide.

Discover biblical ways to thrive in your marriage. Marriage is created by God and reflects Christ’s relationship with the church, His bride. In this message, Jonathan Stanfield assures us that it is normal for marriages to face challenges, but the Lord desires and calls us to thrive within this covenant. With some practical advice, he shares biblical ways we can flourish and enjoy fulfilling relationships with our spouses. In the end, we need Jesus as the centre—the closer we move to Jesus, the closer we move to one another.   This is a Four12 Podcast. 

Fight your battles in God’s power and His ways.  Giants are real, and every one of us must face them. In this message, Euan MacRae teaches us how to overcome the spiritual giants we encounter in our personal lives. He looks at the account of David conquering Goliath and shares six principles that giant slayers live by that make them victorious over the challenges they face. God uses our battles to shape us into the likeness of Jesus. Let us rely on His ways, knowing that the battle is the Lord’s.   This is a Four12 Podcast About the Speaker: Euan MacRae is an elder in Living Hope on the Isle of Man and works apostolically into the nations.

The Word tells us that “God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). In this message, Andrew Selley unpacks what the Bible says about giving our finances for the advancement of Kingdom, to build God’s house. He reminds us that when we place the Kingdom first, God promises to provide our needs. From the loaves and fish to the widow’s mite, our humble offerings are pleasing to the Lord, and He will multiply them for the sake of the gospel.

When we consider our identity, we may ask, ‘Who am I and why am I here?’ In this message, Lukas Nakos teaches us that when we belong to Christ, we become citizens of heaven. Who we are is no longer rooted in our nationality or our culture; we are Christians first. As believers, we are called to live by the culture of God’s Kingdom, not the patterns of the world. As ambassadors of Christ, we received a mandate to proclaim the gospel and make disciples of all nations. Lukas urges us not to be entangled by the distractions of this life but to live from the citizenship that Jesus purchased for us.  

Do you know that every believer receives spiritual gifts from the Lord? Every believer carries a spiritual gift—step out and use it to build His body. In this message, Andrew Selley encourages saints to become active in church life, practicing their gifts for the sake of others, to build up the body of Christ. When every member starts serving, the church will become what God has intended and change the world around it. There are gifts available to us—take a step of faith to discover and use your spiritual gift. We do not exist for ourselves—we belong to one another.

Ancient historians recorded the supernatural events surrounding Jesus’ death. Historical accounts support the Bible’s record of the day Jesus died. In this message, Andrew Selley examines Roman and Jewish writings that confirm the supernatural events at Jesus’ death. Many witnesses saw what Scripture describes—our faith began with what people experienced. From sudden midday darkness to the temple veil torn, let’s look at the evidence that the innocent Son of God died to reconcile us to the Father.

How God uses our homes to build family and advance His Kingdom. One of the greatest building blocks we have to build God’s Kingdom is our homes. These are safe spaces where believers can be truly known, deeply connected and discipled to become who Christ has purposed us to be. Here, Andrew Selley reminds us that family is God’s plan for His church—when we stop being family, we stop being church. As we invest in community, we become united in one heart and one mind to build God’s house, for His glory.

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” -AW Tozer   Our view of God shapes every area of our lives, from how we invest our money to raising our children. However, we often create an image of God based on our experiences and biases. In this message, Daniel Barnard unpacks who God says He is, starting with His name: Yahweh. We are reminded of the Father’s character—one who desires to forgive, is slow to anger, compassionate and full of mercy. All we need to do is respond to who He is. This is a Four12 Podcast Four12 Global Podcasts Daniel serves as an elder in Joshua Generation Church, South Africa.

Our hearts are not only our emotions—it is our command centre, determining the course of our lives and our eternity. The state of our heart overflows into our thoughts, speech, and actions. Here, Daniel Barnard unpacks why and how we guard our hearts above all else (Proverbs 4:23). We cannot change our hearts through human effort, but only through coming to and remaining in the One who gives us new hearts—Jesus.  This is a Four12 PodcastFour12 Global Podcasts Daniel serves as an elder in Joshua Generation Church, South Africa.

Are you reading the Bible through the right lens? In this message, Andrew Selley unpacks how to properly interpret Scripture, explaining how we can often misapply Old Testament promises by taking them out of context or covenant, misunderstand the language, or misjudge either who God is or what He is trying to teach us. Andrew encourages us to grow in our intimacy with Jesus by reading the Bible in order to encounter Him, not just to increase our knowledge. Whether you're in a desert or by the stream, this message may help to shift how you read the Word and experience personal times with the Lord.  This is a Four12 PodcastFour12 Global Podcasts Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12, and he ministers worldwide.

What if the greatest threat to God’s plan for your life is your priorities? In this message, Andrew Selley calls us to realign our lives with God's priority: His church. When we get our priorities right, we stop opposing what God wants to do and start becoming part of His eternal plan. Our lives are not about personal success or comfort, it’s about giving ourselves fully to what Jesus loves most: His people, His house, and His mission to disciple nations.

Are we living in anticipation of Jesus’ return at any moment? He is coming back as a thief in the night, no one knows the time, therefore we must live in a state of readiness (Matthew 24:34-44). Here, Kevin Aldridge teaches us what this readiness looks like and how we can make sure we stay vigilant. Those who endure to the end will be saved—therefore, we must be steadfast, immovable and always abounding in the work of the Lord.

God gave the Israelites His law to reveal His standard for holy living. But now that Christ has come and we live under the new covenant, does that law still apply—and if so, how? In this message, Andrew Selley shows how Jesus fulfilled the law without abolishing it. God’s call to holiness remains, but now we live it out through Christ, being inwardly transformed by His Spirit. Andrew unpacks the purpose and ongoing relevance of God’s moral law, and how believers are empowered to walk in it—not through outward effort, but by grace. Four12 Global Podcasts Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12, and he ministers worldwide.

Martin Luther once said, “Outward salvation shows faith to be present, just as fruit shows a tree to be good.” One of the most important questions to ask ourselves is ‘Am I saved?’ If we truly are, grace from the Lord will transform us. In this message, Andrew Selley exhorts listeners to examine the fruit of salvation in their lives—a life surrendered to Christ will reflect His desires and priorities. Andrew encourages believers not to give up in our battle against our sinful nature, which has eternal significance before God. Scripture makes it clear: to be saved, we must obey Jesus and His commands. Four12 Global Podcasts Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12, and he ministers worldwide.

God has a book of life, and those whose names are written in it will be spared on the great day of judgement (Revelation 20:11–15). But those whose names are not found on God's list will be thrown into the lake of fire. So, how can we be sure our names are written in this book? Andrew Selley explains that even though God went to the cross to save us, salvation must be worked out on earth throughout our lives, as faith without works is dead (James 2:26). Many are deceived into thinking they belong to Christ, yet show no fruit of salvation. Are you ready for that day of judgement? Four12 Global Podcasts Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12, and he ministers worldwide.

How do we love God with everything?   What is the most important thing that a Christian must do? Jesus Himself tells us in Mark 12:30, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” This is the foundation of what it means to be a Christian, but do we really know God as a lover? The Bible shows us that God is looking for a people He can love, who will love Him back. Andrew Selley unpacks Scripture, showing us His nature, that He is love, and what our lives will reflect when we love Him as we must. Four12 Global Podcasts Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12, and he ministers worldwide.

Are you training yourself to become more like Jesus?   When the Apostle Paul writes to Timothy, he instructs Timothy to train himself to be godly, as godliness holds value for this life as well as eternity (1 Timothy 4:7-10). God wants us all to grow into resilient believers who walk in humility, integrity, and obedience to Jesus. In this session, Michael d’Offay teaches us that this godliness comes through intentional training, when we continually aim to become more like Jesus. He unpacks Scriptural principles that will help us grow into the people God wants us to be, encouraging us to desire godliness above any worldly esteem or success.  Four12 Global Podcasts Michael d'Offay serves on eldership in Joshua Generation Church, South Africa, and is the Dean of Leap Discipleship Year.

How can we know that Jesus rose from the dead?   The Apostle Paul states that if Jesus were not raised from the dead, our faith would be useless (1 Corinthians 15:14). Thus, we know that believing Jesus was resurrected is such a fundamental aspect of our faith, but how can we know it to be true? In this Easter session, Michael d’Offay looks at three arguments that prove that Jesus died and was brought back to life. He looks at the claims of Jesus Himself, the life and death of the disciples, and the life of Paul. When we come to faith, our lives are transformed, and this is also proof that Jesus is alive. Let us be reminded why we celebrate Easter: Jesus came to seek and save the lost.   Four12 Global Podcasts Michael d'Offay serves on eldership in Joshua Generation Church, South Africa, and is the Dean of Leap Discipleship Year.

Called to encourage one another.  Jesus said that those who endure in faith to the end will be saved (Matthew 24:13). We are called to finish our race well, holding fast to Jesus throughout our lives. But how can we do so, with all of life’s trials and hardships? In this session, Michael d’Offay teaches us about encouragement – from learning how to become an encourager to God’s purpose in encouraging one another. He reminds us of the Lord’s plan in binding us together in fellowship as we walk together to spur each other on. As the Holy Spirit is our divine encourager, we are called to be filled by Him and share in His ministry to strengthen the body of Christ through encouragement.   Four12 Global Podcasts Michael d'Offay serves on eldership in Joshua Generation Church, South Africa, and is the Dean of Leap Discipleship Year.

What are the Biblical qualifications of a deacon?    Deacons are appointed in the church to help the elders – they are hands-on problem solvers, faithful men and women ready to do what needs to be done. It is a biblical office for men and women specially set apart to serve. But what are the requirements for being appointed as a deacon? In this session, Andrew Selley looks at what the Bible says about leadership in the church and where these roles originate from. He unpacks the role of a deacon, focusing on the character qualifications one needs to meet to be released as a deacon.   Four12 Global Podcasts Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12, and he ministers worldwide.

Understanding the outpouring of God’s Spirit.    Acts 2:17-18 gives a wonderful description of what it looks like when the Holy Spirit breaks into a meeting, starting a powerful revival amongst the first Christians. But did you know it is possible to keep Jesus outside of our meetings, hindering the work of God? In this session, Andrew Selley unpacks what it looks like when God’s power moves among us by looking at Scriptures in both the Old and the New Testament and revivals throughout more recent church history. When we understand how God moves, we can embrace His power in our meetings, allowing Him to change us, heal us, set us free, and ultimately, see the lost saved.   Four12 Global Podcasts Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12, and he ministers worldwide.

We need to change for Jesus to remain in us.    When we give our lives to Jesus, He meets us where we are and the way we are. However, belonging to Him will mean we must change to reflect Him and His Word truthfully. In this session, Andrew Selley encourages saints to allow God to continually work in their hearts and minds, which will transform us into the image of Christ. When Jesus brings us to truth about wrong beliefs, sin, or even our own preferences, He brings us to a crossroads. It might be hard for us to change, but God’s way is always better. Let us allow Jesus to challenge us because as we yield to Him, He will remain in us, and we will remain in Him.   Four12 Global Podcasts Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12, and he ministers worldwide.

How do we yield to the Holy Spirit and let Him overflow through us?    We can easily talk about the power of God without seeing it manifest in our lives and churches. But God desires every saint to be filled to the overflow, living in the power of the Holy Spirit, for His glory alone. In this session, Euan MacRae stirs saints to leave behind religious rituals and habits, instead relying on the Spirit that God has given every believer. The power of the Holy Spirit is so much more than His gifts or miracles – we see Him in the fruit that we bear. His Spirit completes us. Let us yield to Him daily that He will reign in us and overflow through us to witness to those around us.   Four12 Global Podcasts Euan MacRae is a lead elder in Living Hope on the Isle of Man.

Is your devotion to Jesus honest and undefiled by the world?    How we serve the Lord and His Body must be more than just a priority in our lives – we are called to be wholly devoted to Jesus and His Kingdom. This means that God deserves our first fruits, the best of all we have, including our time and our talents. In this session, Ryan Kingsley unpacks biblical devotion, cautioning saints to examine their hearts and lives, as the Lord will separate those devoted to Him from those who are not. God promises in His Word that He will remember those who lived to bring honour to His name (Malachi 3:16).   Four12 Global Podcasts Ryan Kingsley is the lead elder of the multi-site church City on a Hill in Gauteng, and he also ministers apostolically worldwide.

True Christianity is found in covenant, through Jesus.    In the Bible we see many examples of covenants – some between God and man and others, such as marriage, between people. We are familiar with the Old Covenant God made with Israel, but do we know God wants to be in covenant with us today? In this session, Andrew Selley shows us what covenant means and how binding it is, and ultimately introduces us to the New Covenant Jesus gave His life for. God’s chosen people are those in covenant with Him – with His laws placed in their minds and written on their hearts (Hebrews 8:10).   Four12 Global Podcasts Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12, and he ministers worldwide.

Trust in God’s ways and timing to fulfil His plans for your life.   In Ephesians 4, we see that it is a church leader’s task to train saints for the work of the ministry, as the Lord has a plan and a purpose for every believer. A successful church is one where every member is active in the Kingdom. So, how do we position ourselves for what God has called us to? In this session, Andrew Selley unpacks this important question, explaining that we must first unlearn unbiblical beliefs and then open ourselves to be corrected, taught, and submitted to His Church and chosen leadership. God is the only one who brings promotion. Trust in Him and His ways to walk in the destiny God has for you.   Four12 Global Podcasts Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12, and he ministers worldwide.

Don’t be satan’s ‘in’ to your church!    We sense that God is doing something significant in His church: He is birthing a new move through His Spirit. When we step into God’s greater plans to extend His Kingdom, we must be aware that the enemy is watching, hoping to oppose and destroy these plans along with God’s people. In this session, Andrew Selley warns and equips saints against the strategies of the devil. When one of us sins, we open a door to the enemy, affecting all of us. We are to live alert and sober-minded, not giving the devil a foothold to create division and destruction. Andrew implores saints to be vigilant, to yield to the Lord and His ways, and not to be satan’s ‘in’ to their congregations.  Four12 Global Podcasts Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12, and he ministers worldwide.
