Advent is a season worldwide where people reflect and ponder on the coming of Jesus not as God but as man. God has assured we will always find Him, no matter what we go through in life.

Our hope is that this message encourages you to cultivate a lifestyle of gratitude and that you would begin to see the power of being thankful to God for everything and in every circumstance.

God being with us is priceless. He desires to experience us, as much as we want to experience Him.

Imagine how this can actually change how we make our decisions, do life in our relationships and even managing our finances. In this message, Pastor Ash shares 3 ways to help us develop moments with God in our daily life and begin to experience great pleasures of living in the presence of a loving God who wants to have a personal relationship with us.

We all experience failure at some point in life. Sometimes we find ourselves stuck, second-guessing ourselves or held back because we are afraid to fail again. What if, in the midst of our disappointments, we are just one decision away from experiencing God's grace in our life? What if God just wants us to try again? In this message, Pastor Govind shares 3 things that hinder us from trying again as he looks at the life of Gideon (Judges 6); unqualified & unsure, yet God called him to lead his people into freedom. We hope this message blesses you and encourages you to move forward with hope.  No matter what your circumstances are, God is always with you.

"The knowledge of our mess cannot keep God's grace from us. In fact, His grace can turn our mess into His message." Ever felt like you’re one big hot mess? Sometimes, to make ourselves feel better, we find ourselves comparing our blessings and the spiritual things we do to others. The good news is that God invited each of us into a community where we can bring areas of our heart that we struggle with - areas like pride, addiction and brokenness and allow God to heal us and make us whole. In this message, Pastor Govind unpacks Spiritual Pride and how it actually hinders us from experiencing God in a deeper level. We hope this message encourages you and brings you to a place where you can invite God to bring healing in all areas of your life.

This week pastor Ash teaches on the concept of Maturity. God is a Father that desires to have mature sons and daughters and we can gain context to our journey with Him by understanding the Greek-words in the Bible(language in which the New Testament was originally written), that are translated into the word ‘son’. Get ready to make some notes, dig into your Bible and deepen your relationship with God.

In the final part of this message series, Pastor Govind summarises Psalm 23 for us. We learn that David had walked with God all his life and had learned, often through painful trials, that God's goodness and love would follow him all his life. The final verse, Psalm 23:6 oozes with trust and hope. So the question is, how can we find hope in the midst of our difficulties? It can only come by knowing who our God is!

Do you talk to God? How would you describe your relationship with God? In Psalm 23:5, we see things shifting as David matures into the man God has called him to be. In this message Pastor Govind shares three attributes of maturity that will help us navigate our valleys as we go through life.

Who do you think you are? The world will always try to tell you who you are, but you don't have to be defined by what you do or possess or where you come from or even a job title. When you know your God-given identity, it transforms every aspect of your life and allows you to live free from the world's lies and distractions. Through this message, may you believe the truth about who you are as outlined by God alone.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our struggles that we miss out on what God is saying to us. Could it be that our toughest seasons are an invitation to not just see God for who He is, but to become who He called us to be? As we continue with part three of this message series, we learn how David found comfort and protection in God while being corrected. As children of God, this should give us hope and encouragement to know that God's promise to us is that He is with us, He is always protecting us and leading us in the right direction.

In part two of this message series, Pastor Govind focuses on Psalm 23:4, where David learns to walk with God, as he passes through what seems to be the darkest moments - the valley - in his journey. Similarly, there may be times when we feel overwhelmed by our circumstances, but know that God is with you, leading you on the right path.

God desires to meet us in a personal way and He wants you to live the best life possible! In part one of this message, Pastor Govind takes us on a journey through Psalm 23 to learn how David truly saw God even when he experienced hardships. We hope through this message you gain fresh insight and encouragement while exploring the depths of God's compassion.

We've all experienced a measure of peace at some point in our lives. It's the kind of peace we feel when we're surrounded by nature or when most things in our life are going well.

In this message, Pastor Govind shares three ways to be saturated in God's peace.
