God Speaks When We're Afraid // Do Not Be Afraid, Part 5 9:32

3d ago9:32

9:32

When we’re afraid, it seems as though nothing anyone else says or does can make a difference. But – well, what if God has something to say? And what if it does actually make a difference? Would it be worth listening to? You know what I've noticed about those times when I am truly, truly afraid. It seems that nothing anybody says or does can make a …

Don't Panic // Do Not Be Afraid, Part 4 9:47

4d ago9:47

9:47

We’ve all heard someone scream out “Don’t Panic” – it’s normally when they’re panicking. But panic, as natural a reaction as it may be to fear – panic is pretty useless. And it burns up a whole bunch of energy! In this day and age, one of the things that they teach us is to be self-reliant. To have confidence in our own abilities. Well, it's okay t…

Not On My Own // Do Not Be Afraid, Part 3 9:37

5d ago9:37

9:37

It’s great for people to tell you that when you’re afraid God says, “Do Not Be Afraid.” Great! But, well, when I am afraid, what do I do with that feeling? How do I make it go away? How do I get back on an even keel? Fear is a subject that frankly, we don't much like talking about. But that's exactly what we're talking about on the program this wee…

Who Created the Stars? // Do Not Be Afraid, Part 2 9:44

6d ago9:44

9:44

You know I’ve heard all the theory – you don’t have to be afraid – because God is in that place with you. Hmm. That’s the theory. But how do I know – how do I know that I can really rely on Him to be there and to be on my side and to act? Well? Fear is something that, quite frankly, we don't much want to talk about. And yet it's something that's so…

The World is a Scary Place // Do Not Be Afraid, Part 1 9:38

7d ago9:38

9:38

You know something – the world can be a scary place. We all travel through times when fear eats away inside and it’s right in the middle of those times, that we need to know what to do. I don't know about you but as I look around, it seems to me that the world can be a scary place. Take spiders and snakes for instance. Depending on where you live i…

Lift Up Your Eyes // Stress Busters, Part 10 9:32

10d ago9:32

9:32

For some people. stress is a constant companion, if you can call it that. They wish they weren’t stressed, but they just are. There’s a reason for that. It turns out that they’re looking down, instead of up. Well over these last few weeks we've been chatting about how to deal with the stress in our lives. Not that all stress is bad, some stress fro…

Have a Cheerful Heart // Stress Busters, Part 9 9:47

11d ago9:47

9:47

There’s nothing worse than a sad sack. You know, those gloomy characters who can never see the good in anything. They are such awful people to be around, because they just drag you down. So here’s the question – are you one of those sad sacks? Yeah sorry to be a bit blunt there but it doesn't hurt us to look in the mirror every now and then and ask…

Pray the Prayer of Peace // Stress Busters, Part 8 9:38

12d ago9:38

9:38

It’s one thing to talk about trusting in God when we’re going through something stressful in our lives. That’s … great in theory. But how do you actually do that? How do you lay hold of God’s peace, during those stressful times? You see that's the question, how many times have you or I heard some preacher preach some great sermon that says trust in…

Develop a Quiet Confidence // Stress Busters, Part 7 9:33

13d ago9:33

9:33

Okay, so there are more than enough things “out there” in our lives, to cause us to stress pretty much 24/7. In fact a lot of people do just that. But what if we could live our lives with a quiet confidence that everything’s going to be okay. Wouldn't that be just brilliant? Have a listen to this list of stress reduction techniques that one website…

Trust in the Lord // Stress Busters, Part 6 9:38

14d ago9:38

9:38

There are lots of things in this world that cause us stress. So many things out there, out of our control that could go either way, not to mention our own foibles and insecurities. So what we really need is something that brings us peace. Well we're continuing today in looking at the stress in our lives and not just stress but how to deal with it. …

The Stress of Evil // Stress Busters, Part 5 9:25

17d ago9:25

9:25

We all know that there’s good and evil in this world. And at a personal level, evil can be tempting at times. It really can. The problem is that as sure as night follows day, you start dabbling in evil, and stress will start to fill your life. Evil seems like a strong word doesn't it? I mean by and large you and I don't think of ourselves as being …

The Stress of Circumstances // Stress Busters, Part 4 9:37

18d ago9:37

9:37

Sometimes, we wish that all the stress and pressures of life would just go away. And yet … sometimes the circumstances and situations that come our way make stress an absolute inevitability. Great! So now what? I wish I could tell you that there was something that you could do to avoid every stressful situation and circumstance in this world, would…

The Stress of "Not Enough" // Stress Busters, Part 3 9:38

19d ago9:38

9:38

One of the most stressful things in this life is not having enough to go around. Enough time, to get everything done. Enough money to make ends meet. Enough skills and abilities to get the job done. When you’ve suffered under the stress of not enough, how have you coped with it? It seems to me that there are three basic resources that you and I nee…

Stress We Put Ourselves Under // Stress Busters, Part 2 9:37

20d ago9:37

9:37

Stress these days just seems to be a fact of life and yet … all too often, we put ourselves under more stress than we need to. Why is that and what can we do about it? You and I have this habit of putting ourselves under pressure and stress needlessly. Don't believe me? Well today we're going to chat about how we do that exactly and what we can do …

A Stress Free Life? // Stress Busters, Part 1 9:46

21d ago9:46

9:46

These days, way too many of us are living under way too much pressure and stress. And that’s not good, so we long for an idyllic life living on a beach somewhere with not a care in the world. But that’s not realistic either is it. So what’s the answer? How do we deal with stress? Stress. For most of us that word sends a shudder down the spine and w…

From the Inside Out // Worship as a Way of Life, Part 5 9:48

24d ago9:48

9:48

God has this edgy, amazing plan. To change us on the inside through His love and mercy and grace.. and then for that to work its way to the outside – in what we say and do. That’s the plan. I love meeting people where what I see is what I get. The person that I see on the outside is the person who they are on the inside even, you know, if they're a…

Connecting Inside and Out // Worship as a Way of Life, Part 4 9:33

25d ago9:33

9:33

Sometimes - what we do on the outside reflects what’s happening on the inside. Other times, we try to hide what’s happening on the inside. And in the long run – it just doesn’t work. Something we love to do, it comes pretty naturally, is to have a disconnect between our spirituality or our faith on the one hand and our lives on the other. Maybe we …

Choosing What Is Better // Worship as a Way of Life, Part 3 9:36

26d ago9:36

9:36

Some people are so busy doing stuff, they don’t have time for relationships. Other people are so relationship focussed, they never actually do anything. So – which one is better? Most of us understand the concept of smelling roses. We're so busy, so flat out running around doing stuff that we don't take the time to smell the roses, to stop and paus…

27d ago33:58

33:58

Season 4 kicks off with Nick talking to friend of the show, Dr Daniel Daniel who runs the The Crypto Investing Program. Since the U.S. election in November Bitcoin has experienced a significant bull run, with its price surging from approximately $69,000 on Election Day to over $100,000 by mid-January 2025.

The Heart of Worship // Worship as a Way of Life, Part 2 9:34

27d ago9:34

9:34

Love is something that begins in the heart. So is hatred. In fact, just about everything we say and do on the outside, begins with what’s happening on the inside. The same holds true for – worship. One of the things that we all kind of know is that the great achievements that we have on the outside all start on the inside. Somewhere deep in her hea…

Who or What do I Worship? // Worship as a Way of Life, Part 1 9:48

28d ago9:48

9:48

It turns out that we all worship something. Money. God – whoever that might be. There’s invariably something that dominates the way we feel, think and live. I'm not much into religion per se, you know the whole structured ritual thing but one of the great spiritual concepts that sometimes gets tagged with religious baggage is this idea of worship. …

The Blessing of Then and There // An Abundant Life in Jesus, Part 10 9:23

1M ago9:23

9:23

Okay, so Jesus promised us an abundant life. And so often we’re head down, pedalling so hard, we lose sight of the big picture. If there is a heaven and a hell – and eternity to go with them – then the reality of heaven and hell is infinitely bigger than the reality of here and now. What about life then and there? Great to be with you again today o…

1
The Blessing of the Here and Now // An Abundant Life in Jesus, Part 9 9:43

1M ago9:43

9:43

Sometimes as we’re travelling through things in life that we’d rather not be travelling through, we can get to imagining that any promise of God’s blessing, of an abundant life – must be a promise for some time way off in the future. Certainly not for here and now! But what if I told you that He means if absolutely – for here and now. I sometimes t…

1
The Blessing of Joy // An Abundant Life in Jesus, Part 8 9:37

1M ago9:37

9:37

I spent a good chunk of my life looking for happiness, but I never found what I was looking for. Problem with happiness is that it’s linked to our circumstances – can’t be happy if something difficult is happening. Turns out, I wasn’t looking for happiness at all. What I longed for, was joy. It’s just back then, I didn’t realise that, because I did…

1
The Blessing of Peace // An Abundant Life in Jesus, Part 7 9:44

1M ago9:44

9:44

I don’t think there’s a single person on this planet, who doesn’t want to have peace in their lives. A cessation of conflict and wrangling and fighting. Of course conflict comes in many different forms – the words, is a conflict with God. Turns out that one of the things Jesus wants to bless us with, is peace. We’re looking this week at Jesus’ outr…

1
The Blessing of Righteousness // An Abundant Life in Jesus, Part 6 9:36

1M ago9:36

9:36

My hunch is, whether we like it or not, that we’ve been conditioned into thinking that God’s blessing has something to do with being healthy, wealthy and wise. Hmm – and yet God’s idea of blessing is something entirely different. It begins with the blessing of righteousness. Sounds odd I know – but there’s an abundance of blessing in this thing cal…

Above and Not Below // An Abundant Life in Jesus, Part 5 9:34

1M ago9:34

9:34

Life can be a grind, and frankly life can get us down. We all know that. And so our view of what life is, and what it should be, becomes all twisted – inside out and upside down. So it’s time to get things right way up again. It’s time to discover what God has to say about the life He wants for you. This week on the program we’ve kicked off a new s…

1
A Child in the Father's House // An Abundant Life in Jesus, Part 4 9:43

1M ago9:43

9:43

One of the ways that God explains His relationship with us, is that He is our Father, and we are His children. And actually, when you think about it, a father–child relationship is, or at least should be – an incredible blessing. So, if God’s our Father, and we’re His children – shouldn’t that be … a blessing? We’re chatting together this week on t…

A Super-Abundant Life // An Abundant Life in Jesus, Part 3 9:37

1M ago9:37

9:37

If there’s one thing we can all agree on about Jesus it’s that He didn’t do anything by half measures. No –– He threw Himself into things and when He said something, He meant it. So – when He promised us an “abundant life” – the words in the original Greek language literally mean – a super–abundant life! Told you – He doesn’t do anything by halves!…

1
The Thief and His Plan // An Abundant Life in Jesus, Part 2 9:43

1M ago9:43

9:43

Jesus promised each of his disciples – that’s anyone who believes in Him – an abundant life. Yeah, right!! But in the same breath – in the very same verse in the Bible, he also says that there’s a thief – and all the thief is interested in is to steal, kill and destroy. Well – if Jesus talked about him – this thief – then maybe it’s worth you and m…

The Shepherd and His Flock // An Abundant Life in Jesus, Part 1 9:36

1M ago9:36

9:36

When we hear Jesus promising us an abundant life – which is exactly what He does promise us – it’s easy to think “Yeah, right! Must be for someone else.” But actually … it’s not. It’s a promise for everyone who decides to follow Jesus. Question is – how does it work? How can we have an “abundant life”? As we race through life day after day one of t…

Singing a New Song // God is a God of New Beginnings, Part 5 9:37

2M ago9:37

9:37

Sometimes – sometimes God decides to do something radically new in our lives – it’s as though He puts a new song in our hearts. So what do you do with that? When we feel trapped by our circumstances, which happen to so many people, sometimes we need to change something inside. In a difficult relationship, sometimes we have to change our attitude or…

Dealing with the Birth Pangs // God is a God of New Beginnings, Part 4 9:37

2M ago9:37

9:37

Sometimes, when there are good things happening in one part of your life – things start falling apart in another. It’s almost as though when God is birthing something new, there are birth pangs. I don't know if you've noticed but whenever we have changes in our lives, even good changes, they can often feel uncomfortable. I guess that’s because, bas…

Breaking with the Power of the Past // God is a God of New Beginnings, Part 3 9:38

2M ago9:38

9:38

The past is a funny thing. We can’t change the past – yet it hold back so many people from living today and tomorrow to the full. So, how can you break the power of the past over your life? It's just amazing how things from the past can end up ruining our todays and tomorrow’s. The past is a funny thing because it's gone, we can never turn back tim…

A New Creation - Born Again // God is a God of New Beginnings, Part 2 9:37

2M ago9:37

9:37

If God is God then I guess He can do anything – right? Even deal with the most difficult issue or circumstance in our life – right? Question is though – if God really is God – do you actually believe that He can do that in your life? It's just great to be with you again today. Let me ask you, do you ever look around at other people and compare your…

Same Old, Same Old // God is a God of New Beginnings, Part 1 9:55

2M ago9:55

9:55

Day after day, life can just seem like more of the same. Same old, same old. As a result, so many of people end up feeling trapped by their circumstances. But God … is a God of new beginnings. I remember a time in my life when I felt so trapped by my circumstances. In work, I had a good job with lots of variety but somehow it had just run stale. No…

Here we are in that funny little week between Christmas and New Year. A time for looking back and a time for looking forward. So – looking back on it, how did this year go?

It's Only Just Begun // Old Story, New Twist, Part 9 9:35

2M ago9:35

9:35

Next week when Christmas is done and dusted, we’ll be in recovery mode. Out with the old year, in with the new … but, there are some things we need to get sorted in this year that’s fast slipping away, before we can grab hold of next year with both hands. At this time of year, we've all experienced those different emotions at different times so let…

Silent Night // Old Story, New Twist, Part 8 9:24

2M ago9:24

9:24

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to have been there on that very first Christmas when Jesus was born into this world? Like … sitting in that field with those shepherds. Just imagine … There's a bunch of guys in the Bible who I envy. Now I know what you're thinking, the tenth Commandment: You shall not covet your neighbour’s house…

No Room at the Inn // Old Story, New Twist, Part 7 9:32

2M ago9:32

9:32

Okay so we all know that bit in the Christmas story, where Mary and Joseph discover there’s no room at the Inn. But what was that like, and what does that have to say to you and me today? Because actually it wasn’t a happy time and it has rather a lot to say today. I remember a few years back, my wife and I flew from Australia to the US, to Chicago…

A Lonely Journey // Old Story, New Twist, Part 6 9:34

2M ago9:34

9:34

Sometimes on the journey of life we find ourselves completely alone. We can even be surrounded by lots of people, and yet still … be alone. If that’s where you’re at this Christmas, what does God have planned for you? Now I know that this is not going to come as any great surprise to you but I have never been pregnant. Something (by the way) that I…

A Father's Heart // Old Story, New Twist, Part 5 9:36

2M ago9:36

9:36

The other Sunday, the pastor at my church was talking about dying. He made the point that people’s greatest fear is to die alone. I’d never thought of it that way, but it makes a lot of sense. So … what does this have to do with Christmas? Well, as it turns out … everything! I know, it's kind of a weird perspective from which to come at the story o…

Christmas is a Crazy Idea // Old Story, New Twist, Part 4 9:38

2M ago9:38

9:38

I don't know if you’ve ever thought of this, but on the surface of things, Christmas is a crazy idea! I mean, what exactly was God thinking by sending His Son to become a man – and to be born in some drafty, smelly shed out the back of Bethlehem. Yeah, absolutely, on the surface of things, Christmas is a crazy idea. I mean stand back and think abou…

The Realities of Life // Old Story, New Twist, Part 3 9:37

2M ago9:37

9:37

One of the problems that many people have is reconciling the supposed wonder and joy of Christmas, with the humdrum realities of their lives. How … how do you do that? How do you take this Christmas message and make it real in your life? There is something incredibly powerful about 'business as usual'. If you think about how your life has played it…

The Prophecies of Old // Old Story, New Twist, Part 2 9:42

2M ago9:42

9:42

You know that first Christmas … it didn’t just happen. It wasn’t like God hadn’t told His people that He was going to send them a Saviour. It’s just that … well, they were so focussed on the here and now, they really hadn’t stopped to consider the big picture. I guess when it comes to this whole Christmas thing; we see it from where we sit. And for…

Well … here we are again. It’s December. It’s almost the end of another year … and it’s almost Christmas time. Again! Happens year after year. Christmas. Question is … what do you make of it? What do you do with it? It’s an age-old problem. I don't know if you've ever thought of this but Christmas is a real problem for guys like me, preachers I mea…

Living in Hope // Becoming an Overnight Success, Part 10 9:32

2M ago9:32

9:32

Well, at some point in our lives, eventually, we come to the realisation that the idea, the promise of overnight success that the world’s been dangling under our noses is an empty promise. It happens to all of us, eventually. And at that point, what we need is hope. Not a vague, uncertain hope, but a rock–solid, absolutely certain hope. Maybe that'…

Developing a Humble Heart // Becoming an Overnight Success, Part 9 9:39

2M ago9:39

9:39

When you think about it, pride and impatience are two sides of the one coin. Maybe that’s why so many people are in such a hurry to become an overnight success. Problem is, our plan isn’t always God’s plan, and impatience leads to an enormous amount of frustration. If you've been able to join me over this last couple of weeks you'll know that we're…
