True Community (Part 1) - Ps. Richard Urbahn

Fri, 08 May 2009 16:51:00 +1200

This week we learn about the power of Spiritual Family. Pastor Richard takes us through key scriptures that show Jesus teaching the disciples how being part of spiritual family enables the Church grow together and reach unbelievers. He then goes on to detail the deeper purposes of church family. Stay tuned for part two coming to us in after our special mother’s day message.

The Resurrection - Dr. Adam Claasen

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 10:00:00 +1200

We celebrate the most important day of the Christian calendar, Easter Sunday, with a humorous and intelligent message from Dr Adam Claasen. We learn about four theories that are used to try to discredit the reality of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the power of His Resurrection. Dr Adam gives us evidence to explain how illogical and flawed each of these theories are. This message also reminds us of the reality of eternity and the question of how will we spend it.

Holy Frustration - Ps. Neli Atiga

Sat, 04 Apr 2009 21:40:00 +1200

This amazing message comes from our very own missionary to Asia, Pastor Neli Atiga. He speaks about the frustrations of our lives. He explains how we can identify if these frustrations are from the Lord and have a holy purpose, or are the result of our own unrighteous and selfish desires. This is a challenging but inspiring message that will cause you to seek the Lord for breakthrough so that these holy frustrations can lead to action for the Kingdom of God. We are challenged to lay aside apathy and step into God’s calling, moving on from holy frustration to powerful transformation.

Ps. Ken Dew - Contending earnestly for the faith

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 15:09:00 +1200

The number one need and priority in everyone's life is to know the truth and the truth is the Gospel. We don't need any other marketing ploy to reach the lost, giving to the poor and serving others whilst good are yet not good enough...telling them about the Gospel is it! The power and might of the gospel is sufficient, if only we recognise and emphasise this enough.

Your Destiny - Ps. Richard Urbahn

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 10:00:00 +1200

Vision month continues on a personal level with a message specifically on your destiny. Pastor Richard defines “ministry” and how ministry, our purpose and destiny are interchangeable concepts. He challenges us to have “sanctified ambition” and identifies five qualities needed to take believing you have a destiny to living your destiny. This message will challenge you to think about the plans God has for you and where you are in the journey of your destiny. If you are unsure of God’s purpose for your life, this message will give you the tools to search deeper with God to discover what He longs for you to be and do.

Why On Earth Are We Here? - Ps. Richard Urbahn

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 10:00:00 +1200

This Sunday Pastor Richard Urbahn explores the concept of the eternal versus the temporal. He takes Hebrews 11 & 12:1 and asks how we can relate the heroes of the faith to the eternal plan God had for us individually, and as a church. Where do we fit in? What is God’s plan for my life? He goes on to explain that God does not make people without promise or purpose. Be encouraged to take 45 minutes out of your busy life to check where you sit in the Eternal Hall of Fame...by faith!

Us Together - Ps. Richard Urbahn

Sun, 15 Mar 2009 10:00:00 +1200

Do you feel connected to your local church? Are you part of the local church family? Are you growing in one accord with the body or do you feel you are on the outside looking in? This message is the third in the ‘Vision Month’ series. This week we hear about the necessity and benefits of serving God and each other. We learn about the four essential church family relationships and how we can be connected to God and each other through these relationships. This message challenges us to honestly question how we think about our local church.

Him Alone - Ps. Richard Urbahn

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 10:00:00 +1200

He asks each believer to question the foundations of their relationship with Christ and the impact this has on the authenticity of the most important relationship of all time. He shares five signs of being disconnected with God and what this leads to. This heartfelt message will stir your soul as you question, ‘Is my relationship with Christ authentic?

The L Word - Pastor Richard Urbahn

This Sunday, Ps. Richard takes us back to the basics of Christianity - LOVE. On this verb, the first and second greatest commandments are based upon. You may have heard many times that love is a decision and not a feeling. But how do we apply this? Listen to this message and discover the true measure of loving God and loving your neighbour.

Hungry - Ps Richard Urbahn

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 19:32:00 +1200

How hungry are you of God today? Do you find yourself going from meetings to meetings yet still have not experienced God? Fasting is one of the ways to sensitise our spirit so that we can hear and experience Him. It's an act of humility as we seek God with all of our being. Listen to this message and let it wet your appetite to have more of His presence.

Unleashing The Power of Faith - Jarrett Suniula

Sat, 17 Jan 2009 18:07:00 +1200

There are many ways to activate our faith, most of them usually involve meeting together with other believers. While they are good, what are we like when these meetings finish? Are we back being down and defeated? Or are we continuously living in victory? Mark 11:23 says that to overcome our mountains or strongholds we need to speak to them. We all have different mountains, to some it might be emotional, to others it might be financial, health or relational. It doesn't matter what they are, 2009 is the time to move them out of our life.

Christmas Celebration 2008 - Ps Ken Dew

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 03:24:00 +1200

This Sunday, Every Nation Auckland family comes together for a special Christmas celebration service. The dancing, choir and drama all reflect the heart of the church to bring glory to God, the one thing that is often forgotten during this festive season. Christmas is really all about the one true God that became available to us. Because of His love for us, He made Himself nothing so that He does not have to live without us. He is our saviour, the answer to our problems and the only assurance of hope. Let's make this year's Christmas special by remembering the reason for the season. Merry Christmas!

Moving Forward - Building Spiritual Momentum - Ps. Richard Urbahn

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 10:00:00 +1200

God promises to guide us when we are on the move. He's not looking for precision and accuracy in our life, making a mistake is therefore acceptable. When we move in faith, we are giving God something to work with. Let's exercise that faith and don't let fear get the best of us. The momentum of moving forward will supernaturally break down barriers and we will reach the destiny that God has for us.

Thinking Great Thoughts - Ps. Ken Dew

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 10:00:00 +1200

The Bible is full of God's wonderful thoughts for us, He has our best interest at the palm of His hand. The problem is whether or not we align our own thoughts to His. Our actions are very much dictated by the way we think, and over time they will shape our life destiny. When we start letting the mind of the Master be the master of our mind, we will start enjoying victories in all areas of our life.

Celebration of Nations - Ps. Ken Dew

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 19:00:00 +1200

This Sunday Every Nation Auckland family celebrated the cultural diversity in the house. About 25 different countries were represented. God's mandate to us is to make disciples from all nations. Whether we realise it or not - God is bringing the nations to New Zealand. So what better way to start working on the mandate than in our own hometown?

Your Thought Life (I) - Ps. Richard Urbahn

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 10:00:00 +1200

This Sunday Ps. Richard shares a real fundamental issue in every Christian life, thought life. Proverbs 23:7 says that our thoughts will determine our destiny. What do we allow to get into our mind? What kind of thoughts do we spend time thinking about? There is only one source of truth, the Word of God. Today let's choose to fill our mind with the Truth.

The Life of a Disciple (Part II) - Ps. Richard Urbahn

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 10:00:00 +1200

This Sunday Ps. Richard reveals the second four of The Beautitudes of Christ's disciples. Being a disciple of Christ gives our life a new value. When we totally rely on God and passionately pursue after God, we are being harnessed and shaped into His likeness. There is a cost to pay with this process, however what Christ did for us on the cross two centuries ago far outweighs this cost.

The Life of a Disciple (Part I) - Ps. Richard Urbahn

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 10:00:00 +1200

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 10:00:00 +1200

This Sunday Jarrett continues his message on the power of unity. He unravels the other two requirements for a unifying spirit, being humble and loving one another.

Meeting the requirements for spiritual unity is the key to unlocking the greatest power of revival.

Testimony of the Heavens - Ps. Todd Funk

Sun, 05 Oct 2008 10:00:00 +1200

Dynamics of the Corporate Gathering - Ps. Ken Dew

Sun, 28 Sep 2008 19:00:00 +1200

1 Peter 2:5 calls the believers “…living stones,…built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood…” Pastor Ken Dew reminds us of the importance of the Church in society today, and that our participation as believers is vital for building up the local church for its intended purpose in this world.

Church Unlimited - Ps. Richard Urbahn

Sun, 21 Sep 2008 10:00:00 +1200

This Sunday, Ps. Richard continued the message on the importance of being planted in the house of God. The church is where God's people will flourish. There is a tremendous potential in every single one of us when we refuse to look at our limitations. When these individual potentials are joined together, the church of God will reach its destiny.

The Power of Words - Ps. Ken Dew

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 10:00:00 +1200

God created the universe by His spoken words - this signifies the power of spoken words. Whether we want to admit it or not, we live in a negative environment. Most people have been told over and over again that they can't do it. In reality, someone's words can either crush a dream or build a great life. Just as we choose life over death, today let's choose to speak words of life, words that enlarge and empower people.

Faith for Fathers - Ps. Ken Dew

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 10:00:00 +1200

Join us today as we celebrate Father’s day. Modern society makes light of the importance of the role of fathers in the family unit. As a consequence, this generation is suffering the consequences of this worldview. Social science clearly makes the correlation between absentee or passive fathers with the prevalence of crime and violence in society. Pastor Ken reminds us again of the biblical definition and role of fathers in this sermon entitled “Faith for Fathers”.
