Life is full of seasons, and each one holds a lesson from God. Pastor Terence’s sermon, Going Through the Seasons of Life, is a heartfelt reminder that no moment is wasted in God’s plan. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 and Lamentations 3:22–23, he encourages us to recognise the value of every stage—whether it’s spring’s hope, summer’s growth, autumn’s fruit, or winter’s testing. God remains faithful through it all. As you listen, take time to reflect on the season you’re in and ask the Lord, “What are You teaching me here?” May this message strengthen your trust in His timing and inspire you to keep walking in faith. Share this episode with someone who might need encouragement today.

God has put something in you. You were formed from the dust, but you were filled with destiny. In this teaching, Pastor Ras reminds us that there is no split between “spiritual life” and “normal life.” Whatever you do, do it for the Lord. Your home, your job, your studies, your business, your creativity, even the way you speak to people, it all carries the presence of God because His Spirit is in you.

You will also hear a challenge to step into excellence. Excellence is evangelism. When you work with honesty, consistency and courage, people see Christ in you. Finally, you are asked a personal question, “What is in your hand?” In other words, what has God already given you that you are meant to use for His kingdom, right now. This episode will stir your faith, break the fear of not being “good enough”, and push you to move, not just listen.

As you listen, ask the Holy Spirit, “Where have You placed me, and how do You want to use me there.” If this encouraged you, share it with someone who needs that reminder: God can use them too.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. In this stirring message from our series Use What You Have, Pastor Ras Manouchehri unpacks the powerful charge in 2 Timothy 1:6-7 to "fan into flame the gift of God." He begins with a compelling truth: that unique gift inside you—whether it's encouragement, service, teaching, or something else—is your personal flame to tend. It is your responsibility to nurture it and allow it to grow.

But what happens when you do? Pastor Ras lovingly and honestly prepares us for the spiritual fight that follows. Using the example of the prophet Elijah, he shows how intimidation often comes on the heels of our greatest victories. Yet, we are not defenceless. This episode is a powerful reminder that we are seated with Christ in a place of ultimate authority. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

As you listen, we invite you to reflect: What is the ‘flame’ God has given you? Where have you felt the pressure of fear or intimidation when trying to use it? Let this message equip and embolden you to step into the freedom and dominion that is your inheritance in Christ. We would be honoured to hear how this word impacts you—share your story with us.
