“We think more in natural ways than in the supernatural”, says Frank Corneloup as he begins his message. Frank goes on to use the example of Philip and the eunuch, as found in Acts 8 to illustrate the very real place of the supernatural in God’s dealings with man. Frank then explores other verses of Scripture to emphasise his point. We need to rearrange our thinking, says Frank, so that we are not prevented from moving ahead in faith by our natural thinking. Our response to every test should be a response of faith!

John Alley commences this message by recapping the things that the Holy Spirit has been saying about 2012 before bringing several words that the Holy Spirit has given in recent days to members of the congregation. These words of prophecy speak of a great work: John asks the question, “What is the work?” before embarking on a list of things that we each need to settle in our minds a the will and purpose of God for us this year.

David Alley begins the first message of 2012 with some interesting insight about 2011 and the New Year. Apostle John Alley then expands on this, speaking about three 'centre points' to focus on this year in prayer.

There are passages of Scripture that are frequently read around Christmas – we all know them well. In this message John Alley takes two of these popular texts and teaches from the Word that we each must come to the place in our lives where we know for sure, but the witness of the Holy Spirit, that we have been saved from our sins.

John points out the danger of taking to heart only parts of texts such as Luke 2:14 without properly absorbing the fact that the peace promised is for all men “on whom his favour rests”.

John Alley takes this opportunity to pay tribute to the lie and ministry to Apostle Chuck Clayton. John commences by reading a statement saying that the ultimate goal in ministry is not to merely proclaim the message but to become the message. Apostle Chuck Clayton became the message, and in so doing as a father he reproduced the message.

David Hood begins this message with an examination of Psalm 51, the well known Psalm of David, written following the visit of the prophet Nathan and his confrontation regarding David’s sin. David explains the nature of revival and of renewal, before turning to several other passages of Scripture, all exhorting the believer to be led of the Spirit – and to do that we must first be filled with the Spirit.

This message by visiting speaker Franco Foti is alive with the word of God as he speaks about the various voices that compete for our attention within our own minds. These are the voice of truth (the Holy Spirit), the voices of the world and the devil, and our own soulish voices, all of which clamour for attention. We serve a kingdom God, says Franco, and we are a kingdom people. Therefore, we need to be about Kingdom business.

Frank Corneloup commences his message with reflections on the recent mission trip to Pakistan, before going on to outline the fact that in order for the kingdom of God to be able to have free reign in our hearts, some things need to be removed. The things that Frank refers to are the sins that accumulate in our lives and need to be cleansed. Frank used the text from James 5:16 to reinforce the truth that we need to confess our sins to one another and pray for one another so that we may be healed. The listener will find this to be a thought provoking message.

David Hood begins this message by likening the growth and development of a newborn human baby with the spiritual growth that is meant to be the reality of the Christian walk. He then goes on to explain what the word “kingdom” means, expanding this thought to specifically speak about the kingdom of God. David takes the listener through a comprehensive list of Scripture verses, illustrating that the kingdom of God is not an external matter, but that the kingdom is actually within us as believers.
