Fasting for Renewal

we take a look at fasting. Is it still for today? Or is it only for those crusty old Pharisees who Jesus wasn't too impressed with?

Willy will share through the video about how prayer and fasting has brought break-throughs in his ministry, and met many individual needs in Tonga. See Agora Youtube channel for this. Then Dan will help us understand more about what the Bible tells us about fasting. After that Graham will guide us to identify our greatest need, whether personal or ministry, and to bring it to the Cross of Jesus with a commitment to give up something we enjoy for one week. Thus our faith will be sharpened in a concrete and powerful way that draws us nearer to God.

Willy Florian Shares With Us

Willy Florian from Tonga is back with us. If you remember him from last year you'll remember what a blessing and inspiration he is.

He Is Risen Indeed

Easter! A time when we reflect on Christ's death on a horrible Cross, to overcome sin and the death we deserve. But what about his resurrection and ascension? In John 14:2-3 Jesus tells us he has gone ahead to prepare a place for us. And in John 16:7 he says he has to go away so he can send the Holy Spirit to be our Helper. Two things crucially important to the Christian.

Learning to love like Jesus

Among all the values we hold as individuals and as a church, Jesus issues one supreme command to His followers: love others as He has loved us. We'll examine this defining mark of discipleship - how Christ-like love identifies us, distinguishes us, and authenticates our connection to Jesus.

The Cost of Discipleship

Today we’ll explore one of Jesus’ most challenging invitations: “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.” We’ll unpack this offer of discipleship and reflect on its cost. Does it have anything to do with willpower, as a disciplined life is often associated with it?

Bible reading: Luke 9:23-26

Abiding in Jesus

What does it mean to truly abide in Jesus? What kind of fruit does He desire from His vine, and what does it mean to be pruned?

Al leads us as we explore these questions together, diving into what it means to remain in Christ and bear lasting fruit. Join us as we grow deeper in faith and understanding!

Bible reading: John 15:1-8

Call To Follow

We are now in a series of looking at Jesus and how He demonstrated discipleship, and what He taught about it. Jesus called people to follow Him many times in the Gospels and we are probably familiar with Him choosing, and then calling, His future apostles to discipleship.

But He also calls us to follow Him as we deal with a particular issue which is one the main things holding us back from a deeper and more satisfying walk with Jesus.

What Does it Mean to Follow Jesus

A couple of weeks ago we heard how God calls us into a saving relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ, and how he continues to call us into a closer relationship with Him every day. But what about service?

God has made each one of us with an individual 'shape' to fit into a unique place of service in His kingdom - rather like a jigsaw piece finds its place to complete the whole picture. Like a jigsaw, the picture is incomplete without every piece in its proper place. And like a jigsaw piece, we can be confused about where we fit, and perhaps feel we don't even have a place in the picture.

Scriptures: 1 Peter 2:9; 1 Corinthians 12:4-7

What Is Discipleship?

We will continue our series on “discipleship” and this Sunday, Sue Hanna, a missionary in Cambodia for the past 20 years, will speak to us about a simple three-word model that we can use as a model for discipleship in our individual lives and as a church.
