In this Extraordinary message Ovi shares all about 'calling'. Jesus calls ordinary people to follow Him; not for their qualifications, but for their willingness. When Peter, Andrew, James, John, and Matthew heard His call, they left everything immediately and followed. True discipleship means instant obedience, surrendering our old life, and walking daily with Jesus in faith and love. Following Him costs something, but it leads to everything that truly matters - life, purpose, and eternal reward.
In this message, Mike shares about being An Extraordinary Witness, drawing from Acts 1:8 “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses.” He reminds us that when we’re filled with the Spirit, we become witnesses - not by effort, but by transformation.
Mike challenges the church to be bold in sharing Jesus in a world that’s shaking and searching for truth. Using examples from Acts 3, 4, and 9, he shows how early believers lived as witnesses through miracles, prayer, obedience, and courage. Like Peter, Stephen, Philip, and Paul, we’re called to demonstrate and declare Christ with power and compassion. Our everyday lives, our words, and even how we face hardship can all testify to Jesus. The invitation is clear: to be Spirit-filled, prayerful, and unashamed witnesses; people through whom God’s extraordinary power and love are made known.
In this message, Sharon speaks about God’s extraordinary presence, drawing from Exodus 3 and Exodus 33–34. She traces Moses’ journey from the burning bush to the mountain of God, showing how his defining cry was: “If your presence does not go with us, do not send us from here.” (Exodus 33:15). Moses refused to settle for distance, ritual, or religion - he longed for God Himself.
Sharon challenges us to pursue that same hunger for the Holy Spirit today; not just relying on past encounters, but continually seeking His manifest presence in our midst. God’s desire is to dwell among His people, to fill us with His Spirit, and to make His power visible through us. When we prioritise His presence in our lives, homes, and gatherings, others will see His work and be amazed - because “what God is doing with you is awe-inspiring” (Exodus 34:10).
This message explores the biblical meaning of worship as a way of life rather than a moment of singing on Sunday. Drawing from the Hebrew word “avad,” which means both work and worship, it reveals that God views our labor, service, and daily actions as expressions of devotion. True worship, therefore, extends beyond music to encompass every aspect of life — how we work, serve, and live before God.
In this Extraordinary series message, Hilary shares from Romans 5:17 about what it means to reign in life through Jesus Christ. She explains that while sin and death once ruled through Adam, Jesus now invites us to live in triumph through His abundant grace and gift of righteousness. Reigning in life isn’t about ease or status. It’s about living with resurrection power and confidence in the One who reigns forever (Ephesians 1:19–21).
Drawing from Paul’s letters and his story in 2 Corinthians, Hilary shows that true victory often appears in weakness and dependence on God. Like Paul, we can say, “When I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:9–10). Even in pressure, pain, or uncertainty, God’s power works within us. By fixing our eyes on Jesus — the risen, reigning Lord (Hebrews 12:2) — we find strength, perspective, and purpose. We reign not by avoiding trials but by overcoming through His life in us.
In this BUILD series message, Niki teaches on prayer — why we pray and how to pray effectively. Prayer, she explains, is two-way communication with God, not a ritual or wish list, but a living partnership with our Father. Drawing from Matthew 6:5–13, Romans 8:26, and James 1:6–8, Niki shows that effective prayer is rooted in humility, faith, and alignment with God’s will.
She encourages believers to pray with confidence, guided by the Holy Spirit, knowing that God already knows our needs and desires to work through us. Prayer builds relationship, brings spiritual growth, and releases God’s power into everyday life. Whether asking, declaring, or simply thanking Him, we pray from faith, not fear - trusting that the One who hears us can do “exceedingly, abundantly more than all we ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20).
In this message, William shares a prophetic word for the church titled “Streams in the Desert.” Drawing from Ezekiel 47 and John 7:37–39, he shows that the river flowing from the temple represents the Holy Spirit, who now lives within God’s people. Wherever this river flows, life, healing, and fruitfulness follow. William explains that when we are filled with the Spirit, streams of living water flow from within us — refreshing those around us and transforming even the driest places.
Referencing Isaiah 35:6, Isaiah 43:19, and Isaiah 55:1, he reminds us that God is doing a new thing, bringing breakthrough and renewal through His people. As “streams in the desert,” we are called to bring His presence into homes, workplaces, and communities, showing His love through hospitality, unity, and compassion. When the banks burst, William says, the geography will change - a picture of the Holy Spirit’s power to bring life wherever He flows.
In this Extraordinary series message, David Lyon shares from Matthew 8–9, showing how these chapters capture the heart of Jesus’ ministry, and the heart of our mission as His church.
Through a series of encounters (a leper healed, a centurion’s servant restored, storms calmed, the demon-possessed set free, the sick and dying made whole) we see that Jesus meets every kind of need with power, compassion, and grace. David highlights how these chapters end with a turning point in Matthew 9:35–38, where Jesus looks upon the crowds with compassion and declares, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” It’s a threshold moment: Jesus begins to multiply His ministry by sending out others to do what He has been doing.
David explains that in these stories we see:
• Nobodies — unnamed, ordinary people who met Jesus and were transformed.
• Somebodies — because once we meet Him, we discover who we truly are: loved, forgiven, filled with purpose and identity (Matthew 16:15–18).
• Everybody — because these stories represent all humanity: the broken, weary, hurting, and hopeful — all who need Jesus’ touch.
Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit (Luke 4:18–19; Acts 10:38), and now He fills His church with the same Spirit to continue His ministry of healing, freedom, and restoration. The harvest is here and now — in our towns, workplaces, and homes.
David calls the church to respond to God’s heart with Isaiah’s words: “Here I am, send me” (Isaiah 6:8). As Spirit-filled believers, we are commissioned as shepherds, carers, and ambassadors; ordinary people through whom Jesus continues His extraordinary work.
It’s a time to be filled afresh, to go in confidence, to invite others into the life of His church, and to believe that we are on the threshold of a new season - a season of favour, harvest, and glory in God’s house.
In this Extraordinary series message, Phil shares from Luke 5:1–11 about the extraordinary partnership between Jesus and Simon Peter, and what it teaches us about following Christ today.
After a long, fruitless night of fishing, Simon meets Jesus on the shore of Galilee and experiences a miraculous catch that changes everything. Through this encounter, Jesus reveals four key truths that still encourage and challenge us:
Phil encourages us to prepare our “boats” - our lives, time, and resources - to be big enough for what God wants to pour in. Readiness precedes revival (2 Chronicles 16:9). As we fully commit our hearts to Him, we can expect Jesus, our extraordinary partner, to fill our nets and transform our towns, communities, and lives for His glory.
David encourages us as we come to the Lord's Table and break bread and share wine together.
In Matthew 16 Jesus asks his disciples a great question: "Who do you say I am?". This question is one of the important questions we can answer for ourselves - who do we say Jesus is? In this message we take a look at some of Jesus' characteristics, along with his life, death and resurrection, and see how we can begin to answer that question for ourselves.
As we read Paul's prayer and encouragement to the church in Ephesians 3 and 4 we discover 5 important things to embrace as a church family in this season as we see God's Kingdom advance.
In this message, Ovi shares how God takes us “from zero to hero.” Using the story of Gideon (Judges 6–8), Ovi shows how God calls the weak, overlooked, and fearful — not because of who they are, but because of who He is. Gideon saw himself as the least in his family and tribe (Judges 6:15), yet God called him a “mighty warrior” (Judges 6:12) and clothed him with His Spirit (Judges 6:34) to lead Israel to victory.
Ovi reminds us that we often downgrade ourselves, thinking we’re unqualified, shy, or not gifted enough. But what matters is not how we see ourselves — it’s how God sees us. Through the Holy Spirit, He equips us with boldness, gifts, and power (Acts 1:8; Romans 8:26) to live extraordinary lives, serve others (1 Peter 4:10–11), and share the gospel (Mark 16:15).
In this message, David speaks about what it means to be a Spirit-Filled Family. Looking at Acts 1–2, he reminds us that Jesus promised to baptise His people with the Holy Spirit, and on the day of Pentecost that promise was fulfilled. From that moment, the Spirit came not just upon people temporarily (as in the Old Testament) but to live within every believer, forming a new kind of people — the church.
In this message Ovi takes us through Psalm 23 verse-by-verse and helps us to unpack what David meant when he said "I lack nothing", even while hiding from his enemies. We learn what it truly means to have the Lord as your shepherd and find contentment in God's provision, protection, and presence, even in difficult times
In this message we explore what it means to partner with the Holy Spirit as our Co-Worker in building God’s Kingdom (Php 2:12-13). He helps us work out our salvation by walking in holy awe before Him, relying on His unlimited power, and recognising that progress often comes through setbacks and failures, which in His hands serve as a canvas for His grace, bringing Him glory.
In this message, Sam Percival shares the prophetic picture God gave her of the church as God’s RNLI — His lifeboat crew. Building on the earlier “lighthouse” word, Sam explains that while a lighthouse warns and guides from the shore, lifeboats launch into the storm to seek and save those in danger. This is God’s call for His people: not only to shine but to go.
Drawing parallels with the mission and values of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Sam highlights that the church too is a community of volunteers marked by selflessness, courage, trustworthiness, and dependability — united in one mission to rescue the lost. With courage, nothing is impossible, echoing Jesus’ words that “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26; Luke 1:37) and Paul’s reminder that God “is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power at work within us” (Ephesians 3:20).
Sam reminds us that we are a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9) and Christ’s ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20) — carrying authority, purpose, and the presence of God into the storms of people’s lives. Like lifeboat crews on call 24/7, the church must be ready, alert, equipped, and united as a team, each part of the body playing its role (1 Corinthians 12).
Finally, the RNLI doesn’t just rescue; it brings people safely to harbour, providing care and recovery. Likewise, the church is called not only to see people saved, but to bring them into God’s kingdom, into healing, restoration, and wholeness (Isaiah 61:1–4).
The word is both encouragement and challenge: God is launching us into a new season of mission, to seek and save the lost, to bring them into safe harbour, and to see lives fully restored. We are God’s lifeboat crew — His RNLI.
In this message, Richard Pemberton shares about Extraordinary Journeys, showing how God uses ordinary people who trust an extraordinary God to accomplish far more than they could ever imagine (Ephesians 3:20–21).
Looking at Peter’s call in Luke 5:1–11, Richard draws out five key truths:
1. Extraordinary journeys begin with an opportunity — Jesus stepped into Peter’s ordinary routine and turned it into a moment of calling. The same is true for us when we make ourselves available.
2. They require perseverance — even after failure and weariness, Jesus asked Peter to try again. Trusting Him through disappointment often opens the door to breakthrough.
3. They stretch our faith beyond what we see — Peter’s hesitant obedience was still met with God’s abundant grace, reminding us that faith looks past natural limitations.
4. They expose our hearts and draw us into relationship with others — Peter recognised his own weakness before Jesus and saw the need for partners to share the load. Extraordinary journeys are never meant to be walked alone.
5. They lead us into mission — Jesus redefined Peter’s purpose from catching fish to catching people, showing that God turns ordinary acts into eternal impact.
Through personal stories of provision, perseverance, and simple acts of kindness that led to someone receiving Christ, Richard reminds us that the extraordinary often begins in the ordinary. Above all, he points to the greatest extraordinary journey of all — Jesus’ journey from heaven to the cross, to the grave, and to resurrection life.
The challenge is clear: Where is Jesus giving you an opportunity? Where do you need perseverance? What act of obedience or kindness might God use in your life this week to bring eternal impact? Extraordinary journeys begin with ordinary people who trust an extraordinary God.
In this message “Not Now, Not Ever”, Ovi Vlaicu shares from the story of Lazarus in John 11–12, reminding us that Jesus is never late, even when we think hope is gone. What seemed like delay was in fact part of God’s greater plan — that His glory would be revealed and many would believe (John 11:4, 40, 45).
Ovi shows how the miracle of Lazarus’ resurrection reveals two powerful truths:
1. Jesus transforms our darkest moments into testimonies of God’s glory.
2. The enemy always tries to pull us back into the grave from which Jesus rescued us. Just as the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus after his resurrection (John 12:9–11), the enemy seeks to drag us back into our old life of sin and despair. But in Christ, we can declare: “Not today, Satan. Not ever.”
Through examples from Scripture — Lot’s wife looking back (Genesis 19:26), Paul’s call to forget what is behind and press forward (Philippians 3:13–14), and God’s promise to make all things work for good (Romans 8:28) — Ovi urges us to leave the past behind and live fully in the new life Jesus has given.
Each believer, like Lazarus, is a living testimony that Jesus saves and raises the dead. Our transformed lives are proof that the same power that raised Christ from the dead now lives in us (Romans 8:11). The call is clear: stay close to Jesus, resist the enemy, and boldly share your story so that others too may believe.
In this message, Benj unpacks what life in the Spirit looks like. We start by exploring how the Holy Spirit is both God and a person, present from creation (Genesis 1:2, John 14:16–17) and still at work today. The Spirit is God’s very breath, the one who brings life, fills the church, and empowers believers to live for Jesus.
Looking at Acts 1:8 and Acts 2:1–4, Benj shows how the Spirit baptises and immerses us in God’s life, causing us to overflow with boldness, witness, freedom, and power — the same power that raised Christ from the dead (Ephesians 1:17–20). Life in the Spirit means transformation into Christ’s likeness (2 Corinthians 3:18), Scripture coming alive (2 Timothy 3:16), growing love for the lost (Romans 5:5), and unity in the church.
Using Ezekiel’s visions of dry bones (Ezekiel 37) and the river from the temple bringing life wherever it flows (Ezekiel 47:1–12), Benj paints a picture of the Spirit reviving God’s people and making the church a source of life and fruitfulness for the world. He closes with Jesus’ promise in John 7:37–39: “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink… rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
The invitation is simple: to be thirsty, to ask, and to receive afresh. Life in the Spirit is not about settling for a spark but allowing God’s Spirit to fill, overflow, and bring His life to us and through us.
