Speaking from Ezekiel 47 and Galatians 5 Pete shares about what it is to 'live in and walk by the Spirit'
He explores Ezekiel’s vision of the river flowing from the Temple — a picture of spiritual maturity. As the water deepens from ankle‑deep to knee‑deep, waist‑deep, and finally “deep enough to swim,” we’re invited to examine where we are standing in God’s river. Are we actually in the river or are we on the bank only observing?
Ankle‑deep faith keeps us in control. Knee‑deep faith feels the pressure but still relies on our own strength. Waist‑deep faith is tiring because we’re half‑surrendered. Swimming represents full reliance on the Holy Spirit — letting Him carry us.
The river flows into dead places and brings life. Spirit‑led people do the same, bringing hope, healing, and fruitfulness wherever God sends them. Galatians 5 calls us to walk and keep in step with the Spirit, bearing His fruit in our lives.
The challenge: Are you ready to lift your feet off the riverbed of self‑sufficiency and let the Spirit lead you deeper?
Tracy shares from Psalm 27, Philippians 2, Psalm 18 and Jeremiah 17 on how we are to make space in our hearts for the more of Him.
What do I allow in to my heart?
Be rooted and established in love - Ephesians 3:16-17
In this message on Psalm 27, we explore how King David responds to times of trouble—not by running away or panicking, but by changing his posture through declaration, prayer, and deep focus on God.
When facing trials, David models three key posture shifts:
Panic to Proximity: Instead of hunting for an exit strategy, prioritize being near to God. Courage is not something you drum up; it is the natural byproduct of spending time in His presence.
Defense to Praise: The natural instinct during a battle is to shut down or worry. David turns to worship, reminding us that praise is not just what we do after a victory—it is a weapon used during the fight.
Impatience to Expectant Waiting: Waiting on the Lord is an act of worship. Even when tempted to give up, we can command our hearts to be brave and wait with full confidence that we will see God's goodness
Faith shares a 'golden nugget' from Psalm 27.
Psalm 27:8 (AMPC) Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; have mercy and be gracious to me and answer me! You have said, Seek My face [inquire for and require My presence as your vital need]. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require [of necessity and on the authority of Your Word].
