Preach The Word - Audio Sermons

We continue our look at 'The Fruit Of The Spirit' in Part 17 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit'. God is love, and of course all the fruit of the Spirit flow from His nature of love. Love is 'Goodness' and we have a good God because we have a loving God. In this session we look at what God's goodness means to us and for us as we display the life of Christ to others. Because God is good, we ought to manifest His goodness to the world around us!

In Part 16 of 'The Holy Spirit', we continue to explore the fruit of the Spirit as we discover that 'Kindness' is evidence of love and indeed love in action! Are we known for our kindness? What does that look like in our words and our deeds? Watch and listen as we consider the great kindness of God and how we can share His kindness with our world.

'Patience' is a virtue we have mixed emotions about. We wish we had it but we don't want to need it. Often we need it when facing a trial of some sort. In Part 15 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit' we learn where we can find such patience, how we grow in it and the amazing advantages patience brings to our lives. This is a much-neglected characteristic the Spirit brings into our lives. Listen and learn more in 'The Fruit Of The Spirit - Patience'.

In Part 14 of 'The Holy Spirit' we continue with a study of 'The Fruit Of The Spirit - Peace'. The peace of God is not just something He has and gives, but peace is something He is. Peace is a characteristic of God's nature. We've learned that this fruit of the Spirit is the very personality of God exhibited in us through the Holy Spirit. In this session you will learn how to cultivate a mind, heart and life of peace. How valuable this is in a world so dominated by fear and anxiety!

As we continue our series on 'The Holy Spirit' with a time of focus on the fruit of the Spirit, in Part 12 we discover that 'Love' is the fruit of the Spirit that all the other fruit stem from.

What is the difference between Holy Spirit fruit and merely human-produced work? We will see in this study of 'The Fruit Of The Spirit - Fruit vs Works' that the Fruit of the Spirit is an indication that we are rooted in the life of Christ Himself.

As Christians we must be aware that we are in a battle of epic proportions, and therefore we MUST 'Stand Firm In The Battle'. To do this, we must have a working knowledge of what plain this battle is fought on, what weapons are at our disposal and the source of our victory. Only then will we know how to stand firm when so much is coming against us from the enemy's ranks. This message was originally aimed at a men's conference, hence the application to men - but, of course, the truths here apply to both genders!

Just like the twelve 'disciples' in Ephesus, the original twelve in Jerusalem also had something missing. They had spent three years with Jesus, but still needed their Pentecost experience. Jesus warned His disciples that they needed more to accomplish His commission. Here in Part 2 of 'The Holy Spirit', we will find out 'What's Missing?', and learn of the utter necessity of living and ministering in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Our new series on 'The Holy Spirit' seeks to reintroduce us to the oft-neglected third Person of the Godhead. Even those who claim to move in the power of the Spirit don't always have a deep relationship with Him as a Person. So, join us as we seek a deeper knowledge and fellowship with 'God on Earth' - the Holy Spirit. In our first study, we ask the question: are you walking in everything of the Holy Spirit that God intended for you as His child? Acts 19 presents us with some 'disciples' who had not entered a full experience of the Holy Spirit. Let's see what we can learn from their interview with Paul, as he asks 'Have You Received?'.

In Part 7 of 'Confident In The Chaos' Habakkuk exhorts us to 'Choose Joy!'. In these closing verses of Habakkuk we see the power of joy, even in the worst of circumstances - how joy is not rooted in our circumstance, but in our faithful God. See with us how Habakkuk's journey from doubt to faith, and chaos to confidence, ends. In these strange and perplexing days we are living through, we face some similar scenarios to Habakkuk, not least a global economy in dire straits. How do we respond? How do we survive? Can we actually thrive to be 'Confident in the Chaos'? Habakkuk gives us an emphatic - YES!!

In Part 6 of 'Confident In The Chaos' Habakkuk has 'A Prayer And Vision For Revival'. In chapter 3, Habakkuk gives us an example of how to pray for revival in the darkest of days. He gives us hope to pray, believing that He wants to bring blessing in His goodness and mercy. Learn how to pray with confidence for a great awakening in these difficult last days.
