Living a life of praise is not only the most enjoyable way to live, but it’s also one of the most powerful ways to change your life. David Oyedepo says this, “When we pray, God answers, but when we praise, He steps in, in all His glory, might, power and awesomeness!” There is POWER in praise!!

Steve proposes that in all the trials and testing we are facing, God is burning away all of our the impurities in order to make us more like Jesus.

Viv talks from 1 Peter 4 v 12-19 on how God uses trials to show us where our trusts are, and He puts us through the fire until he can see his own image reflected in us. Jesus says in John 16 that in this life we will have troubles but that He has overcome the world!

What if church has become something that we go to or simply attend rather than something we embody? God is calling us to be the church where we are, making disciples and co-labouring with Christ as He builds his church and nothing can stop it.

What are you? You're a carrier. You're a faith spreader. You're a love giver. You're a hope dealer. Steve shares with you today a portion of scripture from the New Testament, it takes place in the Upper room, when the disciples are in lock down for fear, Jesus after his resurrection appears and breathes His peace and His power upon then. Receive this peace and power as you listen in too.

The Apostle Paul in uncertainty in his own life, unsure if he's ever going to see his friends or other believers again. He is really in social isolation, lock down and disconnection, but there's no discouragement. Steve explores how we can learn to be carriers of hope not fear during this time.

Speaking from Matthew 6 v 19-21,24, Malachi 3 v 8-10, Acts 2:44-45 and Acts 4:32-35, Viv talks about how we want to be a community that is marked by radical generosity, especially at this time of uncertainty.
