·44 min·4 clips
A pastor prays for God's purpose to prevail in 2026, declaring a shift from good things to 'God things'.
The episode begins with a prayer, setting a tone of surrender and seeking God's purpose for the new year. The host announces a series on faith, drawing from Joshua 1:2, which he interprets as signaling a spiritual shift from the old ways represented by Moses to the new apostolic leadership of Joshua. He explains that Moses symbolizes self-effort and pastoral care, while Joshua embodies taking hold of God's promises through faith. The host identifies unbelief as a key issue in the modern church, linking it to sin and a resistance to the Holy Spirit, referencing Hebrews 3 and Acts 7. He distinguishes between saving faith in Jesus and everyday unbelief in God's promises, urging listeners to rely on prayer and the Holy Spirit rather than human reasoning. The host shares personal experiences, including waiting 20 years for a house after a prophetic word, to illustrate trust in God. He discusses church debt as a symptom of distrust, advocating for financial faith. The message then turns to Habakkuk 2, highlighting the importance of waiting for God's appointed time and how delays prepare believers for His promises. The host calls for change and mobilization of all believers, emphasizing that faith should affect every aspect of life. He envisions Bundaberg as a city of healing, joy, and abundance, challenging listeners to let go of comfort and follow God into the unknown. The episode concludes with a call to surrender, prayer, and worship, reinforcing themes of hope and trust in God's plans.

As heard by us

A brisk sermon uses Hebrews 11 and an Indiana Jones bridge image to call believers toward trust, perseverance, and obedient action.

This faith-series sermon starts the year with a pointed distinction between wanting "God things" and settling for merely good things. Hebrews 11 gives the message its spine, with biblical hope presented as confidence in what God has said rather than wishful thinking.
