Terry Virgo - Works

There is a Saul in the Old Testament who, at the end of his life said 'I have played the fool'. There is a Saul in the New Testament who, at the end of his life said 'I have run the race, I have fought the fight!' God has plans for us and He wants us to fulfill them, to be good stewards of His manifold (multicoloured) grace.

Terry Virgo - Holiness

Martyn Lloyd-Jones used to call Romans 6 the most freeing chapter in the bible. But how do we live in this freedom? Is it up to me from here on, or is there a secret to a holy life?

Terry Virgo - Team

Just when the disciples are expecting Jesus to come as king and are fighting over potential positions in His kingdom, Jesus compels them to get into a boat and head into a storm. The storm was bad, but their thinking was even worse. Early promotion, positions or public ministry are far more dangerous than we'd like to think.

Terry Virgo - Grace

When we truly understand grace we will never be the same again. If Christ was the end of the law, if the law is obsolete and if we have been discharged from it's authority, what does that mean for us as Christians?

Father,Son,Spirit-Part 4

February 09:

The Holy Spirit, the gift and seal of our salvation, is in many cases shunned by those He was given to. Whether it be due to misunderstanding, a bad experience or comments made by friends and leaders, the Holy Spirit - in stead of being embraced by His people -  stands waiting for us to turn to Him and to no longer live separated from the Spirit of the Living God.

Father,Son,Spirit-Part 3

February 09:

For some, we see the Trinity as the Father, the Son and the Holy Scriptures. For others it's the Father, the Son and the Holy systems! To be baptised into the Holy Spirit is the lifeblood of the church and the privileged presence of the Spirit of the Living God in the life of a Christian.

Father,Son,Spirit-Part 1

Our identity needs to come from God the Father. Our feelings are a bad barometer to use when we are going through tough times. This is why the truth of the word is so important, and why we need faith in what the Father says of us, not what our shaky, insecure hearts keep screaming at us.

January - Part 03

We apologies for the poor sound quality.

What would drive a man to take his wife and five kids to one of the poorest nations in the world to lead a church in a slum city? In his own words 'it was the only thing that made sense considering the urges that God had placed on my heart'. Not my will but Yours be done!

January - Part 02

To walk by faith simply means that we trust God, His wisdom and ways, more than we trust ours. Sounds simple enough, but for many Christians it's a massive shift from self-reliance to entrusting our decisions to our heavenly Father. 

January - Part 01

What does faith look like? We might know the theology behind it, but what about its outworking? In other words, how do we live by faith and why is it so important in this day and age?
