To The Ends Of The Earth - Part VIII

'Try it, try it, and you may. Try it and you may I say' - Dr Seuss

What does the Dr Seuss classic 'Green eggs and ham' have to do with evangelism? And what do we need to take out of this story to help us with sharing God's story?

So often we won't try evangelism because we have never tried, we have never tasted.

Has evangelism ever scared you or left a bad taste in your mouth? Maybe it's time to have another taste?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares that evangelism is something that we should not be scared of, but instead, something that we should pursue wholeheartedly.

'Variety is the spice of life, that gives it all its flavour'
- William Cowper

Why then do we constantly and intentionally insist that others must be like us to have what we have?

Is the gift you have been asked to give freely being limited by your own rules and regulations?
​
Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares why the answer is not just radical, but revolutionary.

To The Ends Of The Earth Part VI

"That was the change of my whole life. I knew that God was real. And no-one will change that now"
-Shane Taylor

What do we do when we realise we are called to minister to what Paul refers to as "the worst of sinners"?

Do we run? Do we hide? Do we impose unreachable expectations?

Or do we, no matter their wealth, health, or social stature, provide a genuine encounter with Jesus to those that He loves?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us why who we are to others should be a reflection of the encounter we have had with the living God.

To The Ends of The Earth - Part V

Have you ever thought 'the devil made me do it'?

Life is full of hard choices. Sometimes we are tempted to make the easy choice, rather than the one that we know is right.

We are all tempted. But in the same vein, we all have the choice to fall into temptation, to resist.

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares why it's not the temptation that matters, but our response.

What will you do with the story of Ananias and Sapphira?

To The Ends Of The Earth - Part IV

If you have no opposition in the place you serve, you're serving in the wrong place.
- G. Campbell Morgan 

​How do you respond to opposition?
 
Most of us avoid it, calm it, ignore it. But look at the early church, and not only did they embrace opposition, but considered it essential to their mission and growth.
 
The church is fastest growing in those places where it experiences the most opposition. Coincidence?
 
Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares why our faith is inextricably linked to opposition, and why this is not the terrible news we may think it is.

To The Ends Of The Earth - Part III

“And as to me, I know nothing else but miracles”
- Walt Whitman 

When did you stop experiencing and believing in miracles? Maybe they never stopped happening, maybe we just stopped realising how important signs and wonders truly are, both inside and outside the church.
 
Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares why miracles are not only vitally important today, but part of a faith and witness that we are all called to.

To The Ends Of The Earth - Part II
​
“My fear is that people will become content to live without the fire, the power, the excitement, the supernatural element that makes us great”
- John Wesley
​
Are you living in power, passion, and excitement for that which you cannot control? Or are you cowering in fear of the life you have made?
 
Dietrich Bonhoeffer encouraged us that “We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God”.
 
Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares a simple three step pattern to reconnect yourself with all that you have been called to be.

To The Ends Of The Earth - Part I

“Don't shine so others can see you. Shine so that through you, others can see Him.”
― C.S. Lewis

No matter what your day to day job may be, be it serving food, selling clothes, or pastoring a church, you are called to live a life that influences and connects with others.

Are you a witness to the big picture, or just the little details?

Listen as Nick Barber shares why it is so important to live a life that witnesses to the grace, mercy, and redemption that we have been so freely given.
