In our final week of "Resetting Our Emotions", Ps Nate and Bec share some gender differences when it comes to emotions. We also discuss an important way we learn to regulate our emotions.Lift Church による

What are we to do with difficult emotions? Are we simply to suppress them? Or hope they will go away?Lift Church による

In Colossians 3 Paul tells us to set our hearts and our minds on Christ. What does that look like? Through this message we explore what it looks like to change as a person, and the processes involved in doing so.Lift Church による

What does God think of emotions? And does God have a design for our emotions?Lift Church による

Ps Bec shows us 3 characteristics of a good disciple through the life of Mary.Lift Church による

What occupies you? What disciplines you have shows what masters you.Lift Church による

One characteristic of a good disciple is that we allow God to regularly disillusion us.Lift Church による

Dads are so important in our lives, and in a church family we also need men to play the role of spiritual fathers. How do we do that, and what does it look like?Lift Church による

Grace speaks of more than just salvation. In fact, if we live as though God's grace only covers our salvation, we are living under "skim grace". So what is full-fat grace? And what does it mean for our lives?Lift Church による

How do we maintain the fire of God in our lives? Jesus tells us that to enter the Kingdom, and to be great in the kingdom we need to turn and become like a child. What does this mean for us?Lift Church による

The presence of God should be the focus of our faith. We should be fire chasers, not altar cleaners.Lift Church による

Jesus calls us to pray "in His name", and that it will be done! How can we pray shamelessly audacious prayers in our lives?Lift Church による

What if we're not called to simply take steps in our faith, but leaps? How do we step into new seasons that God is leading us into?Lift Church による

How do we get to a place where we don't worry about money? When we base our finances on principles, not preferences. The Bible gives us 3 principles that we can base our relationship on finances on.Lift Church による

We all need a fixed point to orient our lives. In this message we discuss the fixed points of atheism, polytheism, agnosticism and monotheism, and why Christianity is unique.Lift Church による

How do we know the words of the Bible hasn't been changed over time? How do we know people haven't changed it to benefit themselves? And how do we know the Bible contains truth?Lift Church による

Ps Nate and Bec answer questions you've put forward regarding relationships in our final installment of Stronger Together.Lift Church による

"What is so precious about sex that we need to handle it with such care?" Maybe you have grown up hearing about the do's and don'ts of sex, but not a lot about God's heart for our sexuality. Ps Bec explores God's design for sex, and how we can steward our sexuality according to His design.Lift Church による

The postponing of gratification has been linked with greater wellbeing. How does that link to how we do relationships? And how do we grow in this area in our lives?Lift Church による

So after 3 weeks of going deeper in our understanding of the cross, how are we meant to live? We explore Jesus' words to deny ourselves and take up our cross.Lift Church による

The cross accomplished 2 different things according to Scripture. In order to understand our salvation, both of these are equally important to grasp.Lift Church による

In the second installment of the series, Ps Nate discusses what is so bad about sin. The issue here is that if Jesus' death was so catastrophic, then it was remedying something equally catastrophic - sin.Lift Church による

Today we display crosses on our walls and as jewelry, and it might have contributed to the sense that the cross is quite normal. But the cross was anything but normal in Jesus' times. In fact the cross was downright scandalous. Note: this audio was re-recorded as the message recording didn't work.Lift Church による

Sometimes it feels like when we're about to step into a new thing with God that the memories hit us hard. What are we to do about them?Lift Church による

In life we can either let our past and our experiences define who we are, or we can allow God to give us a name change!Lift Church による
