  • God's Voice and Spiritual Warfare

    God's Voice and Spiritual Warfare

    Topical sermon in the “Christian Living” category

    Hearing the voice of God is vital for success in spiritual warfare. It is essential to learn to use the sword of the Spirit, the rhema of God, to overcome the temptations and attacks of the devil. This message from Ephesians 6:17 will teach you the importance of using the sword of the Spirit and some practical pointers on receiving words from God to take into the battle against the enemy.

  • Elijah And The Voice Of God

    Elijah And The Voice Of God

    Topical sermon in the “Christian Living” category

    Elijah, the greatest of prophets, came to a personal and spiritual crisis. It may be that though he was hearing the voice of God for the nation, he hadn't been hearing it for himself. God had to take him on a journey of rehabilitation, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, before he could even receive God's voice. Here is a practical message from 1 Kings 19:1-18 relevant to those experiencing burnout or a wilderness in their Christian life and service. God often has to condition us to eliminate distractions and blocks to clearly hear His still, small voice.

  • The Prayer Of Jabez

    The Prayer Of Jabez

    Topical sermon in the “Prayer” category

    The short but direct “Prayer Of Jabez” has been a blessing to many who have plumbed its spiritual depths and excavated its potential. Explore with us how God wants to bless us, deliver us from everything holding us in the past, enlarge our Kingdom influence and grant our petitions for His glory.

  • Practicalities Of Prayer

    Practicalities Of Prayer

    Topical sermon in the “Prayer” category

    All of us are learners when it comes to prayer and praying better. So whilst we must beware of gimmicks and quick-fix formulae, we also must recognise some helpful disciplines of prayer - ingredients that can help us 'arrange' our prayers better. Here in “Practicalities Of Prayer”, David shares some valuable and practical pointers to refresh our prayer lives.

  • Confident Prayer

    Confident Prayer

    Topical sermon in the “Prayer” category

    Many of us struggle with the lack of answers to our prayers - but is there such a thing as praying confidently in a way that gets answers? David explores three vital ingredients to sure-to-be-answered prayer. Come and learn the importance of praying from identity, with authority and certainty as we consider “Confident Prayer”.

  • The Shaking Of The Heavens

    The Shaking Of The Heavens

    Topical sermon in the “Revival” category

    In this Topical message on revival, David relays some visions and dreams from God, indicating the shaking in the heavenly realm at this time in history and the need for us to be 'ready' in the day of God's power (Psalm 110:3).

  • Jesus' Preparation For Ministry

    The School Of Suffering

    Part 3 of “Jesus' Preparation For Ministry

    The Bible tells us that Jesus learned obedience through what He suffered. Even for the perfect Son of God, there was “The School Of Suffering” that prepared Him for ministry. As His disciples, we are called to take up our cross and suffer for Christ. We will experience the test of the wilderness and face the enemy's taunts attacking our belovedness to God. Suffering cannot be avoided as Christians. Discernment is needed to know what can be resisted and what is part of God's plan for us. One thing is sure: if we are to inherit as God's sons and daughters, we must suffer for His name.

  • Jesus' Preparation For Ministry

    Learning To Minister From Identity

    Part 2 of “Jesus' Preparation For Ministry

    Many of us have been conditioned by life and culture to serve to obtain identity rather than ministering from our identity in Christ. Jesus knew who He was and what the Father thought of Him; this impacted how He served God. However, many of us behave as orphans in ministry, which often ends in our own hurt and that of others. In this message on “Learning To Minister From Identity”, David teaches us to minister from identity as children of God rather than ministering from identity like orphans.

  • Jesus' Preparation For Ministry

    From Obscurity To Prominence

    Part 1 of “Jesus' Preparation For Ministry

    There is much of Jesus' early life we don't know about. We know He didn't begin His earthly ministry until around the age of 30. What did He do in those preceding years? Those years in obscurity were a vital part of “Jesus' Preparation For Ministry”. What lessons can we learn from such obscurity and silent years? Follow Him “From Obscurity To Prominence”, as we consider this question and also the importance of Christ's baptism, holiness, obedience and His empowerment by the Spirit.

  • The Glorious Presence Of God

    We need to pursue Him passionately to experience more of “The Glorious Presence Of God”. King David reflects this in Psalm 63, and others like Moses and Isaiah show us what it is like to hunger after and interact with God's presence. In this message, you'll hear how we must turn away from other distractions and sins to gain a greater passion for God's presence.

  • The Glorious Presence Of God

    In Immanuel

    Part 4 of “The Glorious Presence Of God

    The greatest presentation of “The Glorious Presence Of God” was in His Son who came to this world, Immanuel, 'God with us'. We will learn how the glory of God shone through Jesus' life and how the disciples witnessed that glory on the Mount of Transfiguration. Find out how we can experience the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

  • The Glorious Presence Of God

    Its Departure

    Part 3 of “The Glorious Presence Of God

    Ezekiel tells us how “The Glorious Presence Of God” reluctantly withdrew from the Temple in stages and eventually from the whole nation. The sins of the people had driven Him from them. This is a sobering message highlighting the need for holiness but also giving us great hope in the Saviour we have in Jesus, who brings God's presence to us through His cross.

  • The Glorious Presence Of God

    With The Ark Of The Covenant

    Part 2 of “The Glorious Presence Of God

    The primary way “The Glorious Presence Of God” rested among God's people in the Old Testament was in the Tabernacle and the Temple, particularly over the Ark of the Covenant. Unfortunately, the people of God came to the point in their history of taking God's presence for granted, and consequently, they lost it. Listen along as David shares some principles around reverencing the presence of God and how God's work must be done God's way to experience the power of His presence.

  • The Glorious Presence Of God

    In The Garden Of Eden

    Part 1 of “The Glorious Presence Of God

    In this introductory message on “The Glorious Presence Of God”, we look at the different 'kinds' of God's presence and how at times, God manifests His presence to us, particularly in times of revival. Then David focuses on God's relationship with Adam and Eve before sin entered humanity and how our sin impacts the presence of God in our lives.

  • Risk-Takers For God

    Risk-Takers For God

    A new Topical sermon

    In 1 Samuel 13:23-14:15, the story of Jonathan and his armour-bearer's daring attack against the Philistines offers us many lessons in how we can audaciously take risks for God and His Kingdom. It’s this kind of boldness for God that sends shockwaves in the camp of the enemy. Join us and learn how we can become “Risk-Takers for God”!

  • Overcoming Adversity

    In our second study in “Overcoming Adversity”, we learn “What You Need To Know”. From the amazing Romans 8, David explains how God has given us the tools to overcome adversity. There is a special understanding that we have when we are “in Christ” that causes us to triumph even in the worst afflictions. This comes from knowing who we are and what we have in Christ - knowing what is ahead of us in Christ; what God has purposed for us in Christ and how secure we are in Him. These keys to overcoming are available to all generations of believers whatever the current global challenges or personal trials we face. This is a message of encouragement that we all need in these days.

  • Overcoming Adversity

    There is such diversity of opinion among Christians regarding suffering. This confusion often distresses people who are enduring suffering. What is the truth then? In this message David talks candidly about the importance of “Facing Facts” and coming to terms with the inevitability of adversity in our lives. Also, he emphasises that we need to understand how God uses adversity in our lives. Many people wonder, ‘How do I know if this is something from the Devil that I need to resist or is something God is wanting me to submit to?’ David practically teaches us how to discern in our suffering and how to react appropriately to adversity.

  • Helping Others To Freedom

    In the concluding session of “Helping Others To Freedom”, we look at how the principles of personal healing and deliverance apply to whole regions, and are essentially the same principles that can prepare a region for revival awakening. This is “Revival And Deliverance - The Bigger Picture” – God sets individuals free in order to heal and deliver the world.

  • Helping Others To Freedom

    In Session 9 of “Helping Others To Freedom”, David addresses many practical questions that often arise around healing and deliverance, also considering some of the mysterious matters that can confuse people. This episode on “Practicalities And Mysteries Of Healing And Deliverance” should be extremely useful for anyone engaging in prayer ministry.

  • Helping Others To Freedom

    Occult, Idolatry And Freemasonry

    Part 8 of “Helping Others To Freedom

    In Part 8 of “Helping Others To Freedom”, we learn that the demonic is an area that needs to be handled sensitively and cautiously. Yet we must also acknowledge that the demonic realm is very real and often an area of blockage to blessing in people's lives. Through this study on “Occult, Idolatry And Freemasonry” we find out: how people can be affected by the demonic; whether or not Christians can be demonically influenced; how the enemy can get power in our lives; and how to get the freedom promised in the gospel of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

  • The Sunday After Easter

    The Sunday After Easter

    A new Topical sermon

    For “The Sunday After Easter”, we visit the scenes depicted in John 20, when the risen Lord Jesus Christ appeared to His disciples. On the first occasion, Thomas is missing from the gathering and this causes doubt to rise in his heart and mind. But when Jesus appears again and speaks directly to Thomas, countering his doubts and fears, his faith is emboldened to declare 'My Lord and my God!'. Join us as David Legge draws lessons from this encounter for “The Sunday After Easter”.

  • Helping Others To Freedom

    Generational Iniquity and Curse

    Part 7 of “Helping Others To Freedom

    In Part 7 of our “Helping Others To Freedom” series, we come to the issue of “Generational Iniquity and Curse”. Can the sins of our ancestors affect us today? Is this concept biblical? In this session, we consider what scripture teaches about the matter of generational iniquity and curse and how the death of Jesus Christ on the cross sets us free from these influences.

  • Helping Others To Freedom

    A Case Study - Frank's Story

    Part 6 of “Helping Others To Freedom

    In this very practical session of “Helping Others To Freedom”, we look at a fictional “Case Study”, which you can do as an individual or as a group if you are following this course with others. As ‘Frank’ comes to you to receive prayer for his problems, from his story, you must assess the underlying root causes of his issues and how he can receive healing and freedom. David will allow you to pause in this session and take time to consider some helpful questions which are provided for you. Then David will continue, giving some suggested answers to those questions. This exercise helps us contemplate how the principles we have been learning might be outworked in a hypothetical ‘real-life’ scenario.

  • Helping Others To Freedom

    Wounds And The Healing Of The Heart

    Part 5 of “Helping Others To Freedom

    In the fifth session of our “Helping Others To Freedom” series, we explore “Wounds And The Healing Of The Heart”. How do our hearts get hurt? How do these wounds set us up for both habitual sin and demonic bondage? We discuss the various sources of our woundedness and, most importantly, how we can get healing for these wounds. It is vital to distinguish wounds that need healed, from sins that need repented of, and demons that must be expelled.

  • Helping Others To Freedom

    Soul-Ties

    Part 4 of “Helping Others To Freedom

    In the fourth episode of our video series on “Helping Others To Freedom”, we take time to consider “Soul-Ties” - a term that describes a heart tie in any relationship, good or bad. When these ties are bad they can exert a negative influence upon our lives, hindering us moving forward to maturity in Christ. In this session we talk about what soul-ties look like in the positive and the negative, and how to break free from such spiritual bondage in order to experience release and any healing necessary.

  • Helping Others To Freedom

    Forgiveness

    Part 3 of “Helping Others To Freedom

    In the third instalment of “Helping Others To Freedom”, we explore together one of the major blockages to blessing and freedom – unforgiveness. Resentment, bitterness and offense are obstacles that prevent many moving into the liberty and healing God intends for their lives. In this session we will see how unforgiveness imprisons us and can give the enemy rights to torture and torment us. We will also learn what true “Forgiveness” is and some of the common misconceptions. Most importantly we'll give some helpful steps to move into the freedom of God's forgiveness for ourselves and toward others.

  • Helping Others To Freedom

    In this series based on David Legge's book, “Breaking Through Barriers to Blessing”, we continue exploring how we can be set free from bondages of Satan and healed from wounds of the heart. This series is for people who need set free themselves, or for those who want to be used to help others into freedom.

    In this second session, “The Necessity Of Confession And Repentance”, David looks at the issues of sin and how confession and repentance is a necessary step toward freedom in Christ. We need to own our ungodly behaviours. If we are going to get help ourselves or help others we've got to be real with ourselves and see sin the way God sees it.

  • Helping Others To Freedom

    Foundations and Considerations

    Part 1 of “Helping Others To Freedom

    Join us for “Helping Others To Freedom”, a series based on David Legge's book, “Breaking Through Barriers to Blessing”. We will explore how we can be set free from bondages of Satan and healed from wounds of the heart. This study is for people who need set free themselves, or for those who want to be used to help others into freedom.

    In this introductory episode, “Foundations and Considerations”, David lays down some biblical foundations and considers how freedom ministry is something the church is commissioned by Jesus to engage in today.

  • Redeeming Eve

    Redeeming Eve

    A new Topical sermon

    If this scripture in Judges 19 was made into a movie, it probably would have an R-18 rating or worse! It is a horrendous story of the Levite and his concubine, which displays the dire spiritual and moral state God’s people had fallen into at that time. But, what is often overlooked amid this carnage is the total and utter disregard for the humanity of the woman in the story. In this Topical message entitled “Redeeming Eve”, David looks at how Eve and womenhood has been redeemed in the New Covenant, and the place of honour that a woman - Mary - had in bearing God in flesh into our world. This radically speaks of the great value women have as God's daughters, irrespective of how culture, society or religion views them. This is a liberating message especially for women, but also carries a great challenge to men and the church in general regarding how they have treated women down through the centuries, and even to this very day.

  • Revival Now

    A New Revival And Reform Movement

    Part 9 of “Revival Now

    In this concluding message of “Revival Now” we see the need for “A New Revival And Reform Movement”, as David considers the difference between revival and reformation. From Matthew 9, he shares how revival is like the new wine God pours out from heaven, but the wineskins need to be fit for purpose to preserve and distribute the wine, otherwise the wine is spilled and wasted and the wineskins are ruined. God is wanting to reform the church again so that she is fit for purpose for the 'new thing' He wants to do among us. God is calling the church back to original New Testament Christianity, so therefore we must remove all obstacles in the way of this move of God. Perhaps that's part of what this current shaking in the church is all about?

  • Revival Now

    A New Disciple-Making Movement

    Part 8 of “Revival Now

    Along with preceding prayer, the next most common external feature of historic revivals is probably the preaching of the gospel. Renewal in the church may not necessarily feature many souls being saved but revival certainly does. In Part 8 of his “Revival Now” series, David Legge emphasises the need for the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom in Holy Spirit power. We need to get back to preaching the good news of Jesus with passion and urgency. However, public preaching is only a part of what it means to spread the gospel; David also exhorts that we must be making disciples. He shares how simple disciple-making movements are spreading the flame of revival in some of the most persecuted countries on the planet and how this might well be a divine blueprint for us in the West to follow.

  • Revival Now

    A New Christlike Movement

    Part 7 of “Revival Now

    Can we have a move of God that doesn't resemble Christ? Obviously not, but is Christ-likeness our emphasis in the church and as individuals? Do we look like Jesus? Do we sound like Jesus? In Part 7 of “Revival Now”, David Legge, using two fruit of the Spirit - Gentleness and Kindness - shows that what the church and the world most needs are Christians that look like Christ and exhibit His attributes to all, even our enemies. We will see real change in the church and society when people see Jesus in us through “A New Christlike Movement”.

  • Revival Now

    A New Unity Movement

    Part 6 of “Revival Now

    In Part 6 of “Revival Now” we see our need for “A New Unity Movement”. If scriptures like Psalm 133 and the High Priestly prayer of Jesus in John 17 put such a high value on unity as a key to blessing, why is it so elusive in Christianity? David suggests two reasons for this: first, the devil's agenda at all costs to divide and conquer, and second, our fear of false unity. In this message, David considers what false unity is and also why we should not be afraid of true unity in Spirit and in truth. One thing is certain, God wants the body of Christ everywhere to be united for His Kingdom cause. If that much is clear, what difference should that make to our attitudes to others and our behaviours?

  • Revival Now

    A New Word and Spirit Movement

    Part 5 of “Revival Now

    Very often in some streams of Christianity there is an emphasis upon the Word of God, as opposed to the Spirit of God, or vice versa. At times these strands are even in contention with each other. This is not the way New Testament Christianity is meant to be. It should not be a case of 'either or' but 'both and' as regards the Word and the Holy Spirit. In Part 5 of our “Revival Now” series, David explores this disparity and how we desperately need a new movement of the Word and the Spirit: The Word with the Spirit - not the Word without the Spirit; and the Spirit with the Word - not the Spirit without the Word. There is great power when the Word and the Spirit are together.

  • Revival Now

    A New Freedom Movement

    Part 4 of “Revival Now

    The church very often cannot receive the message of revival because it is so bound. Like Lazarus, the church may be 'alive', but spiritually bound. Many Christians as individuals are in this position and need deliverance and freedom. In Part 4 of “Revival Now”, David talks about how we can be set free as individuals, and the incredible impact that one soul saved and set free can have, even on a whole community. We need to rediscover the message of freedom in the Gospel of the Kingdom. We need 'A New Freedom Movement'!

  • Revival Now

    A New Holiness Movement

    Part 3 of “Revival Now

    In Part 3 of “Revival Now”, we ask: what is the holiness that we are called to as Christians? It has been misrepresented and misunderstood by many in the church. In this message, David first establishes what holiness is not and then goes on to consider what is this holiness and most importantly how do we get it? In a day when sin and compromise is rampant in the church, we need “A New Holiness Movement”. In 2022 we need a revival in true holiness.

  • Revival Now

    A New Prayer Movement

    Part 2 of “Revival Now

    In Part 2 of “Revival Now”, as we contemplate the type of revival we might need in our day, David now considers how we need 'A New Prayer Movement'. What kind of praying is needed for revival? In this age of innovation, what 'old paths' of prayer might we need to rediscover in what God is doing anew? Be inspired to pray for revival through this message!

  • Revival Now

    A New Jesus Movement

    Part 1 of “Revival Now

    In “Revival Now”, David Legge asks and seeks to answer the question: What might revival look like in the 2020s? Or, to consider it another way: What is the revival we need for today? Of course, there are common features to every revival, and yet there are always distinctives to every one. We can never second guess God in how He will move again - yet we do have desperate needs in our age that only God can meet. In this series, David looks at how we need a new move of God's Spirit to meet the contemporary needs in the church and our world in this present moment.

    In Part 1, we explore how the church and we as Christians need to get our focus back on Jesus. He must be the pre-eminent one and the centre of all we do and are. What idols have distracted us from the centrality of Christ? How can we give our Lord His rightful place in our lives and churches?

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Prophecy, Part 2

    Part 35 of “The Holy Spirit

    In our final study in “The Holy Spirit” series and our mini-series on the gifts of the Spirit, we conclude our consideration of the gift of “Prophecy”. One of the great concerns around this gift is: how can we know false prophecy from true prophecy? How do we discern the true from the counterfeit? Also, we look at the practical dimension of how we exercise this spiritual gift of prophecy.

    This series has been so enjoyable to deliver and we do hope you have gleaned a lot of help from it. If so, why not spread it around and share it with those you believe will also be edified? Thank you so much for journeying with us!

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Prophecy, Part 1

    Part 34 of “The Holy Spirit

    Join us for Part 34 of “The Holy Spirit” as we continue looking at the gifts of the Spirit. We come now to the final gift of the Spirit, “Prophecy”. This is the first of a two-part final study which concludes this series and our lessons on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In this episode, David Legge considers the questions of who can prophesy and what prophecy actually is. Come with us to see what God’s word actually teaches about this vital gift that the church needs to be built up as Christ intended.

  • The Holy Spirit

    Join us for Part 33 of “The Holy Spirit” as we continue looking at the gifts of the Spirit in “Interpretation Of Tongues”. We have already learned that all the gifts of the Spirit are intended for the edification of the church. For a message in tongues, that means it should be interpreted. In this study, David considers the spiritual gift of interpretation of tongues. Why is it needed? How might it operate? Who should have it? Come and learn more about how the gifts of interpretation of tongues and tongues work together to build up Christ's body the church.

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Tongues, Part 2

    Part 32 of “The Holy Spirit

    Part 32 of our series on “The Holy Spirit” forms the second episode on the gift of “Tongues”. David Legge considers more questions that people ask about this gift of the Spirit. You may have had some of these questions yourself after the last study. Is there such a thing as public tongues and private tongues and is there a difference between these? Are we out of control when we speak in tongues? Is there a danger of demonic tongues? Do we have to be careful in seeking this gift in case we receive something harmful? Join us we look for the answers!

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Tongues, Part 1

    Part 31 of “The Holy Spirit

    For Part 31 of our series on “The Holy Spirit”, we begin our consideration of “Tongues”. What is the gift of tongues? What is it for? Is it a private prayer language or to be used in public in the church? Are there rules around the use of tongues in the church? These are some of the questions David considers in this first study on the vocal gift of different kinds of tongues.

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Miracles

    Part 30 of “The Holy Spirit

    In Part 30 of our series on “The Holy Spirit”, we continue our look at the gifts of the Spirit by asking: Is there a difference between the gifts of healings and the gift of “Miracles”? If so, what are the differences? What is the purpose of miracles? What is the best atmosphere for miracles to take place? In this episode, David seeks to help us answer these questions from the truth of scripture.

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Gifts Of Healings, Pt2

    Part 29 of “The Holy Spirit

    For Part 29 of “The Holy Spirit” we have the second episode of our look at “The Gifts of Healings”. David further explores this gift in the Bible and how it operates today. He considers whether, as some claim, using medicine is somehow showing a lack of faith in the healing gift. He also seeks to answer a common objection to this gift - if you 'have' it why don't you go and heal everyone in the hospitals and hospices? In these two studies we are seeking to biblically, honestly and sensitively explore a subject that dominated the ministry of Jesus and the Apostles and that we are promised to experience in some capacity today.

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Gifts Of Healings, Pt1

    Part 28 of “The Holy Spirit

    In Part 28 of “The Holy Spirit” series, it's “The Gifts of Healings” - what are these gifts and how can we expect them to operate today? Is it God's will to heal? Should we pray for healing? Does that prayer always get answered? These are some of the questions we seek to answer from what the Bible has to say about healing. This is the first of two studies on this gift.

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Faith

    Part 27 of “The Holy Spirit

    What is “the Gift of Faith”? Is it the faith that saves us from our sins? Is it the faith to trust in what God says in His Word, the Bible? Is it the deep belief that God is there for us to help in difficult situations? Well, though all of these are expressions of faith, we shall see that the Gift of Faith is a supernatural ability, given by God Himself, to see the miraculous and the impossible accomplished for His glory? In Part 27 of our series on “The Holy Spirit”, we learn that it's an amazing gift that actually underpins the other gifts of the Spirit and indeed much of the Christian walk.

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Discerning Of Spirits

    Part 26 of “The Holy Spirit

    In Part 26 of our series on “The Holy Spirit”, we ask: what is the “Discerning of Spirits”? What is it to discern and what are the different kinds of spirits we are to recognise? David seeks to answer these questions and also lead us in how we can cultivate this discernment in our lives. This, like all the other gifts of the Spirit, is so necessary for the health and growth of the Body of Christ.

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Word Of Wisdom

    Part 25 of “The Holy Spirit

    Join us for Part 25 of “The Holy Spirit” study series, as we consider the spiritual gift, the “Word of Wisdom”. We find out how this relates to the “Word of Knowledge”, which we considered last time. What is it? How should it operate? How do we receive it? How should we be careful in the use of such a gift? David gives various biblical examples of the use of this gift and how we should operate in it with humility and godly wisdom.

  • The Great Shaking!

    The Great Shaking!

    A new Topical sermons

    In this Topical message for our current cataclysmic times, David brings light from a passage of scripture he considers as the most relevant for this moment - Hebrews 12:25-29. How do we survive, or even better, thrive and overcome in this time of great shaking? This message, entitled “The Great Shaking”, helps us to know how to receive the kingdom that cannot be shaken, whilst the things that can be shaken all around us are being removed.

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Word Of Knowledge

    Part 24 of “The Holy Spirit

    In Part 24 of “The Holy Spirit” study series, we embark upon a study of each individual gift mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12, beginning with the spiritual gift of the “Word of Knowledge”. What is it? How do we recognise it? How do we receive it? David uses many scriptures to show the biblical foundation of this gift and ways God can reveal knowledge to us today for the building up of faith in others.

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - To Edify

    Part 23 of “The Holy Spirit

    What is the purpose of spiritual gifts and how can we prevent them being used to selfishly promote an individual? Is the fruit of the Spirit not more important than the gifts? In Part 23 of “The Holy Spirit” study series, we see that love must be the primary motivation for the seeking and operation of these gifts. Their God given purpose is “To Edify” (build one another up) in the church. As we have explored, there is much division in the church about whether spiritual gifts should be sought at all today, but there is also much division and competition among those who claim to move in these gifts - why? More love and edification are the answers.

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Grace Gifts

    Part 22 of “The Holy Spirit

    In this episode of our series on “The Gifts of the Spirit”, looking at 'Grace Gifts', David talks about how all the gifts from God are because of His great grace in Christ; through the cross, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. He distinguishes Christ's gifts from the Holy Spirit's gifts. He also challenges us, that even though there may be misuses and abuses of the 'gifts of the Spirit' in the church, we should be asking he question: Where is the true?

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Gifts Of The Spirit - Are These For Today?

    Part 21 of “The Holy Spirit

    So, are the gifts of the Holy Spirit for use in the Church today and in the lives of Christians in this present age? Can we know this for sure from the Bible? In this introduction to our sub-series on 'The Gifts of the Spirit', David seeks to answer the question: are these gifts for today? Why not share this very important message with others?

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Fruit Of The Spirit - Self-Control

    Part 20 of “The Holy Spirit

    Is “Self-control” nothing more than merely exercising will-power? If not, what is it then? How is it different from just 'trying harder'? In this concluding message in our mini-series on 'The Fruit of the Spirit', find out how self-control is a key to effectively accessing the other fruit of the Spirit. Also find out what Paul meant when he said of the fruit of the Spirit, “against such there is no law”

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Fruit Of The Spirit - Gentleness

    Part 19 of “The Holy Spirit

    Have you ever prayed for more gentleness? Have you ever heard teaching on 'how to be gentle'? Do you imagine God as gentle? When you think you are hearing God speak to you, is it with a gentle tone? We trust this next video on “The Fruit of the Spirit - Gentleness”, will answer these and other questions for you. 'Gentleness' or 'meekness' is a much neglected and tragically undervalued attribute that we and others would so benefit from if we experienced it through the Holy Spirit's power. Indeed, this is how we would better influence the people around us to be Christians. As Jesus put it in Matthew 5:5 “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth”.
