Drawing inspiration from Jacob's powerful Family Blessing over Ephraim and Manasseh, this message will highlight the great spiritual authority that parents have to make faith-inspired declarations. This blessing carries such weight that it "modifies Israel’s tribal structure," reinforcing how a parent's declaration can profoundly impact the destiny of the next generation. This message, reinforced by the daily declaration of parents, empowers parents to make steadfast assertive declarations over their children and grandchildren, influencing their spiritual journey and redirecting their destiny, even when they seem to be wandering.

Joseph's life exemplifies wise leadership that impacts future generations. This message focuses on how to raise "world shapers" and the critical role of mentorship, vision, and strategic planning in empowering the young, while honouring the legacy of those who have paved the way and intentionally passing on the blessing.

Jacob and Esau's reunion demonstrates the profound power of repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation in mending estranged relationships. This message will offer hope and guidance to those burdened by disconnects within their families, emphasizing God's desire to "close the gap" between generations, break cycles of dishonour, and restore the flow of blessing and an "overlap" of shared values.

Jacob's story illustrates how God works through flawed family dynamics and individual struggles. This message will address how God’s "thousand generation covenant" can overcome "sinful family patterns" and the destructive cycle of dishonour (as seen when Jacob deceives his father for the blessing), bringing restoration and the powerful restoration of blessing, even when previous generations have wandered.

On this Thanksgiving Sunday, we reflect on God's consistent faithfulness through generations, acknowledging that His love and promises extend for "a thousand generations". We will celebrate the enduring legacy of His blessings that continue to shape our lives today, recognizing that blessings are rewards for being born!

God's covenant with Abraham, backed up with promises, initiates a multi-generational plan, teaching us that our individual destiny is a "team event" connected to those who came before and those who will follow. This message explores how God's program of blessing for Abraham and his descendants is meant to be a source of blessing for all peoples, empowering us to prosper in every way God intends.

On the Sunday of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation weekend, we introduce our series by reflecting on God’s original design for humanity and the brokenness that entered the world. Drawing from the early chapters of Genesis, we will explore how sin led to shame, fractured relationships, and patterns of generational sin. We will examine humanity's attempts to build apart from God, which resulted in division and scattering, highlighting the deep need for reconciliation. This message sets the stage for our journey through Genesis, inviting us to consider how we can pursue truth, healing, and genuine reconciliation in our own intergenerational relationships, in our wider community, and in our country as we seek to restore the flow of blessing and live as image-bearers of a God who continuously pursues us, in spite of our own brokenness.

This message will focus on the essential nature of spiritual family and why relationships are the bedrock of our church life. In a post-pandemic world where isolation is a reality, Paul's joy at hearing about the Thessalonians' faith and love reminds us that our shared spiritual vitality is found in meaningful connection. Paul's prayer for their faith to grow and for them to be "holy and blameless" is a call to nurture and build up one another. We'll unpack our values of being multicultural and intergenerational and address the challenge of extravagantly welcoming new people, and assuring them that they belong, fostering the kind of relational community where people are truly known and their needs are met. This message will also feature a Life Groups’ emphasis, and the significance of connecting with a Life Group community.
