Inspired by elements of Paul's dream (shared last week), Adam shares from the old poem often told about weddings: 'Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue'... Maybe it's time those things we borrow, we start to own for ourselves.

Paul shares a series of dreams that point to scripture, and our futures for 2019. To watch the 'dream' video played at the beginning, follow this link: https://youtu.be/G3SvuqIlf48

“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder." Paul shares about what that means for us as we grow up and make disciples of the nations.

Grace doesn't just excuse you. Grace doesn't just bring you to neutral. Grace presents you; it speaks your future... and it's always GOOD! Matt encourages us in the way we speak about ourselves and each other.

Adam finds a flow in the book of many books that we call the Bible. It seems God is always looking for redemption, but He needs a body. This leaves us with one question...

Do the words 'ought, should and must' resonate when you think about Christmas gifts? Adam shares about the grace of giving, love languages, and replacing 'ought, should and must' with something much more beautiful.

Adam explores why Jesus was like an F55 stealth fighter, and why we need to be too.

Are we scared to let love flow? Would we have questioned and rebuked when Jesus let a woman anoint His feet with oil? Paul explores the heart of the father, and what His kingdom really looks like.

Is everything really acceptable, or do we need to lay down the law? Adam explores the way Jesus shows how to walk the tightrope between grace and truth.

Have you ever felt like the world doesn't know you're actually just blagging your way through adulthood? Sometimes we act 'wise beyond our years', other times we act our shoe size, not our age! Adam explores what it really means to own this process we call 'growing up'.

Paul shares about those who are forgotten, uninvited, tolerated and an seem like an 'after-thought'.

Have you ever felt out of place at a celebration? Sometimes, we sit in a corner feeling sorry for ourselves, at a party thrown in our own honour. Anca explores the reasons we sometimes stay in guilt, when the father is calling us out of it.

How do we do find relationships; are they a piece of cake or hard work sometimes? We've learned that we should have a relationship with Jesus, but how do we actually make that a reality?

How do you have hope and patience in the long battles? How can we see a harvest in the future when the field looks empty now? Paul brings some words that God wants you to know more than ever.

What do newborn babies, central Europe in the 90s, and electro pop have in common? Adam explores how they all connect to the cry of our hearts...

'The truth is the people who get it are the ones who persevere, push through, reach out and grab hold.'

'Warehouses, slaves and swords'. Adam unpacks more depth from a story we think we know well enough already...

'We are making disciples of NATIONS'

'Let me tell you the difference between your rulebook and my Father'

'He is more generous than you've ever seen... more giving than you will ever know.. and His heart never stops'. We sometimes miss the most important part of the Father's legacy to us; His own Heart. Paul shares what it takes to be like He is.
