LIFE Adelaide

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.
