  • Why We Don’t Settle | Lukas Nakos

    11/07/2024 Duración: 39min

    In this session, Lukas Nakos builds on the theme of our calling as priests, motivating us by unpacking why we must live our lives to build God’s house. He also helps us by explaining how we can do so. Lukas emphasises that the Lord does not want us to settle, but rather to live extraordinary lives as ambassadors of His Kingdom. He looks at what we can do practically to keep in step with God: we must remain close to Him, His Word, our leaders, and our church family. 

  • Follow Him to Calvary | Richard van de Ruit

    11/07/2024 Duración: 35min

    In this session, Richard van de Ruit shares what it truly means when Jesus tells us to take up our cross and follow Him. He encourages us as believers to count the cost of following Jesus, to be able to fulfil the works that the Lord has prepared for us to do. Richard urges us to open our hearts and allow the Holy Spirit to shine His light into the areas of our hearts that we are reserving for ourselves, reminding us that following Him will cost us everything. Taking up our cross means that we are committed to following Him to Calvary. 

  • Your Kingdom Come | Euan MacRae

    11/07/2024 Duración: 49min

    Jesus said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” (Luke 4:43, NIV). Euan MacRae warns us that many followers of Jesus believe that the Kingdom of God is important but settle for a substandard experience of Jesus that revolves around endless meetings and coffee dates. The disciples were told to pray for the Kingdom of God to come, and for the will of God to be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Following Jesus should be the most exciting life a person could ever live, but are we seeing signs of the Kingdom around us? Are we confident in the power of the Gospel to transform even the most broken lives? Do our churches reflect the culture of earth more than heaven? In this message Euan explores the kind of life Jesus purchased for us on the cross, and how we can walk in more, through the power of the Holy Spirit, as we seek first the Kingdom of God. 

  • Empowered by His Spirit | Jonathan Stanfield

    11/07/2024 Duración: 36min

    Jonathan Stanfield preached a stirring message highlighting our need to embrace the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, both in the life of the church and as individual believers. It’s all about His presence. We must be a body where every saint flows in the Holy Spirit and in their spiritual gifts, for each part to do the special work of God. Jonathan shares personal experiences of encountering the manifest presence of God, and the challenges of overcoming fears to fully engage with the Holy Spirit's work. 

  • Leaving the World Behind | Peter de Korte

    11/07/2024 Duración: 35min

    Peter de Korte teaches powerfully about the paradox of the gospel: to find life, you have to lose your life. He feels that the Lord is asking us: who wants to pick up their cross daily to follow Him? Peter addresses modern false beliefs regarding the message of the gospel, and encourages us to ask ourselves if we are embracing the right perspective – do we have a Kingdom mindset? He reminds us that there is a prize much greater on the other side of giving up our lives, which is the assurance of eternal life with Jesus.  

  • The Call & The Cost | Ashley Gabriel

    17/11/2023 Duración: 45min

    God has chosen and called us to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, and to go to the ends of the earth to make disciples of nations (Matthew 28:16-20). But this call comes at a cost. It requires us to die to our comforts and conveniences, and to be prepared to suffer, even to lose our lives for the Gospel.   The cost is great, but the Gospel is worth suffering and losing our lives for. Also, Jesus has promised that the Holy Spirit will help us and give us power (Acts 1:8) as we obey and give ourselves to this great call. Just say “yes” and be available to Him.Four12 Global Podcasts Ashley is an elder in The Lighthouse Church in the United Kingdom. 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.

  • Interrupting Faith | Euan MacRae

    10/11/2023 Duración: 56min

    We can sometimes have an expectation of how the Lord will respond to us. We limit our thinking of how we believe the Lord wants to treat us. The story of the Centurion’s servant (Luke 7:1-3) shows us that the Lord wants us to have “interrupting faith” that allows Him to break our boxes and enjoy His favour.  What is “interrupting faith"? It exists in a humble heart that is expectant but not entitled. It is the kind of faith that releases power anytime, anywhere, and knows that God always has a better way. Finally, interrupting faith can create unprecedented possibilities. With Jesus, anything is possible – miracles can happen and demons can be cast out by the power of the Spirit.  As a response to his message, Euan felt in particular to call any young people who struggle with sexual impurity and who want freedom in this area to come to the front for ministry and prayer.Four12 Global Podcasts Euan MacRae is a lead elder in Living Hope on the Isle of Man.

  • A Life Worthy of The Calling | Daniel Barnard

    03/11/2023 Duración: 40min

    In Ephesians 4:1, Paul pleads with believers to “live a life worthy of the calling [we] have received”. Every person who has received Jesus has been called by Him. We shouldn’t confuse calling with the gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit. The gifts may enable our calling, but they aren’t the calling in itself. Because all believers are called by God, no believer is a “celebrity”, and no believer is called just to cheer on others who clearly “have a calling”.  The calling of every believer is to receive (mercy, grace, kindness, the gifts of the Spirit, power, etc.) from Jesus, and then to serve others with what they have received. If it is dry serving Jesus, it is because we have stopped letting Jesus serve us. It is as we let Him serve us that we have something to give to others (John 13:8).Four12 Global Podcasts Daniel serves as an elder in Joshua Generation Church, South Africa. He is married to Samantha and they have four children. His other passions are 4x4ing and surfing.

  • As for Me & My Family | Jonathan Stanfield

    27/10/2023 Duración: 44min

    Family matters. The first sheep Jesus calls us to disciple and lead are our family. While ministry is important, we must bring our families through in the Lord and not sacrifice our children on the altar of ministry.  Using the household of Stephanus as an example (1 Corinthians 16:15), Jonathan explains that God’s desire, and the greatest blessing for a family, is salvation. We should therefore make it a regular practice to pray for our family. In addition, we should serve our families and be in their lives daily. Serving is the antidote to a “selfie” culture. God also requires devotion to the things of God. He is not looking for fans but followers who seek the Kingdom of God first (in finances, interests, relationships, schedules and troubles). Finally, we are to outdo one another in showing honour. Honour is the reward for a life devoted to Jesus.Four12 Global Podcasts Jonathan Stanfield is the lead elder of Living Hope, a multi-site church on the Isle of Man.

  • People of The Way | Kevin Aldridge

    20/10/2023 Duración: 47min

    As believers, we are called to be people who follow The Way (Jesus), not our own way. Following Jesus means a willingness to follow Someone who was rejected and marginalised for speaking the truth. People rejected Him because they were offended by Him and His words. They wanted a Jesus of their own making; one who didn’t make them uncomfortable.                                                                                        In the same way, as followers of Jesus, we should expect to be rejected, labelled and shamed for speaking the truth and taking a stand for Him. A tim

  • Reaching the Lost | Andrew Selley

    13/10/2023 Duración: 01h01min

    As pastors, we need to be faithful and effective ministers of the Gospel, always thinking how we can weave the Gospel into our preaches and always throwing out the net for people to get saved. We need to think about bridges to relationships - what kind of messages will reach business people, the youth, etc? We also need to consider the language we use when preaching, avoiding "Christianese" and using ordinary words that non-believers will understand instead. The best preachers are thinkers who plan how they will land their message and extend a call for response – first to those who want to get saved and then to believers.   Four12 Global Podcasts 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.

  • Leading by The Spirit | Brad Verreynne

    13/10/2023 Duración: 58min

    God never intended for our meetings to be good “productions”, but meetings led by the Spirit of God. We need to let God choreograph every meeting, expecting and allowing for the unexpected. Every meeting is a God encounter in which He wants to reveal Himself and interact with His people. As elders, we need to be attentive to His heart and His voice, ready to shift direction to wherever the wind of His Spirit wants to go. In every aspect of the meeting, even in announcements, we should look for God and remain sensitive to picking up His heart. What we see in Scripture is not a “well-oiled machine” but meetings teeming with life, where the saints play their part and contribute prophetic words, songs, testimonies, etc. Spirit-led meetings work when there is a relationship between the elders and the worship leaders in which they communicate with each other and feedback can be shared in an encouraging environment. Elders are, in a sense, a shadow of God, working together in team with Him by following where the Spi

  • What Should We Live For? | Andrew Selley

    13/10/2023 Duración: 59min

    "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (1 Peter 2:9, NIV).  As believers, our identity is rooted in the fact that God loves us and has chosen us as His own. He has made us all ministers (priests) unto God and each other. This means that there should be no "celebrities" or "kings" amongst us - there is one King, one Hero, and His name is Jesus. God has also made us citizens of heaven; a "holy nation". Are we still grappling with sin; are we still being made holy?  The same Scripture speaks to our calling. As believers, our job is not our calling. Our purpose in life is to proclaim the Good News, and to make disciples of nations, through the church (Matthew 28:9). To whom do we belong – ourselves or God? What are we living for – our own appetites, or to declare His praises?Four12 Global Podcasts Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12,

  • Supernatural Love | Peter de Korte

    13/07/2023 Duración: 35min

    It is good to desire and exercise the gifts of the Spirit, but our motivation for the gifts should always be love for God and for people. Supernatural love releases supernatural power. If you want to walk in the power of God then love people the way Jesus loves people.

  • The Method: His Spirit | Ryan Kingsley

    13/07/2023 Duración: 55min

    The “method” we follow to build healthy church is to follow the ways of the Holy Spirit. We need to create space for the Holy Spirit to move and lead, not just follow our own predetermined programme. God is looking for more than faithful hard workers – He is searching for servants filled with faith and fire.

  • Following the Holy Spirit | Andrew Selley

    13/07/2023 Duración: 44min

    It is possible to become so used to a particular wineskin that the wineskin can become a hindrance. Having a plan (liturgy/wineskin) that brings order to our services and direction to our churches is essential, but our plans are written in pencil and must change as the Spirit leads us. It isn’t wrong to prepare, but it becomes a sin if we rely on our preparation instead of relying on the Holy Spirit.

  • Contending for Truth | Tommy Hanrahan

    13/07/2023 Duración: 51min

    Jesus promises that “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). Truth is demanding. Truth insists that we change and conform to the ways of Jesus. The world cannot accept the truth as it did not accept Jesus. The world will crucify truth so that it can continue in its blind, compromised state. For the follower of Jesus, the truth highlights our failings, our faults, our character flaws. Only when we remain in the truth do we come out of the world and its darkness.

  • The Body of Christ | Ryan Kingsley

    13/07/2023 Duración: 59min

    As children of God, it is important that we know not just “Who am I?”, but also “Who are We?” We need Jesus, but we also need the Body of Christ. We become more like Jesus as we connect to Him (the head) through the Body (the Church). While courses and programmes are not bad in themselves, God has called us to disciple people through the family of God. We are created for interdependence, not simply an individual, independent experience.

  • The Gift of Women in the Church | Various Speakers

    13/07/2023 Duración: 01h06min

    A panel discussion focusing on the value and role of women in the church, and in particular what women can do (within the bounds of Scripture) to play their part in being ministers of the Gospel and building up the Body of Christ. God’s design is for men and women to work alongside each other as a team - fulfilling different roles, but each needing the other to reflect the nature and person of God more fully and accurately.

  • Known, Loved, Accepted | Andrew Selley

    13/07/2023 Duración: 01h04min

    The church is not made up of “random citizens” but of people who are known, loved and accepted. It is not simply a Sunday and Wednesday gathering, but a community that is active seven days a week. Andrew teaches us to pursue a culture that is transparent, where our troubles are not hidden in darkness but exposed to the light. The church is a community that is a safe place to openly confess our sins and bring our weaknesses into the light. The church enables each person to live in a way that produces the character of Jesus in every member.
