MIMIC: The Disciple-Makers Blueprint 9: Paving the way for Jesus | Nicola Foster | Acts 8:26
#338
Yesterday at 9:50 PM

Discipleship is a daily decision to get out of the way and allow Christ lead us to those He wants to reach through us. That is the only way by which we can join in with what He is doing in the world today. We cannot disciple others until we have fully surrendered to His will.

#337
06/17/2025

At such a time as this when peace seems like a scarce commodity, Christ is calling us to be people of peace but not just that, to find other people of peace and together, collaborate with the Holy Spirit to join in with what God is doing in the world.

MIMIC: The Disciple-Makers Blueprint 7: Courage Over Comfort | James O'Donovan | 1 Cor. 11:1
#336
06/17/2025

Christianity is not a call to a holiday and margarita by the beach. It is a call to a life, lived to God's standard which oftentimes comes with sacrifice, discomfort and the fear of the unknown. However, like Peter, it is only when we take that step of faith that we realise that with Jesus, we can actually walk on water. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

MIMIC: The Disciple-Makers Blueprint 6 - Love Like You Mean It | Matt Summerfield | Matthew 22:37-40
#335
06/04/2025

God is calling us His children to love like He loves - Unconditionally, selflessly, and intentionally. The world is constantly putting everyone in boxes and telling us who deserves our time and who doesn't. Truth is - We cannot make disciples of others if we don't love them first.

MIMIC: The Disciple-Makers Blueprint 5: Hospitality - The Heart of Disciple-Making | Amy Summerfield | Hebrews 13:1
#334
06/01/2025

Being hospitable isn't really a choice if we are serious about disciple-making. We have to venture into the inconvenience of vulnerability, and making room for strangers. The fact is that we cannot disciple from a distance but being hospitable helps us draw closer to God. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

MIMIC: The Disciple-Makers Blueprint 4: Unwrap Your Gifts for God’s Work | Eph 4:11
#333
05/21/2025

Everyone is gifted by God, not because we earn or deserve it, but because the giver of the gift wants us to use those gifts for Him. Have you discovered your gift and are you using them to spread God's word?. If we're expecting great things from God, we must be willing to attempt great things for God.

MIMIC: The Disciple-Makers Blueprint 3: Bold Prayers with Broken Hearts | Nicola Foster | Colossians 4:2-24
#332
05/18/2025

Oftentimes when we pray bold, broken hearted prayers, it is always for something that concerns us. Why don't we pray with the same zeal and enthusiasm for others, that God would show us opportunities to share the gospel. If we're expecting great things from God, we must be willing to attempt great things for God. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

MIMIC: The Disciple-Makers Blueprint 2: The Empowered Disciple-Maker | Matt Summerfield | Acts 1:8
#331
05/08/2025

We are often caught up in the web of overthinking and over-analysing when it comes to talking to people about Jesus and disciple-making. However, the good news is that we don't have to. It is not by our eloquence or charisma - rather it is by the power and conviction of the Holy Spirit. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

MIMIC: The Disciple-Makers Blueprint Part 1: Yes You Can! | Matt Summerfield | Matthew 28:18-20
#330
05/05/2025

After Christ's resurrection, before His ascension, the great commission for every believer is to go into the world and spread the good news. To make disciples of everyone and reconcile humanity to God. However, why do we often think that we do not have what it takes to execute this crucial assignment and how can we change that mindset?

If We Just Believe | Nicola Foster | John 20
#329
04/23/2025

Jesus wasn't offended that some His disciples who were worked and walked with Him physically struggled to believe that He is risen; He is still not offended that people today, over 2000 years later, struggle with this truth. However, He is patiently waiting for you and everyone else to just believe. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

The Good News of Jesus | Pete Gilbert | 1 John 3 16
#328
04/06/2025

In his typical electrifying fashion, Pete Gilbert takes us on the journey of exploring the significance of Christ's work on the cross, which is the core of the good news of Jesus. That is the ultimate message to us that God is not dead, and he absolutely wants to get involved in our lives. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

Proverbs 31 Woman | Nicola Foster | Proverbs 31:25
#327
03/30/2025

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come." Not because she knows everything, or because she relies on any human, but because she puts her trust in God who accepts her as she is, and clothes her with strength and dignity.

Lament 4 - Closer to Other | Laura Benn | Job 42
#326
03/19/2025

Empathy is God's gift to humanity to connect us to others through their dark times. In the midst of Job's lament, he was able to draw closer, not just to God, but to his friends, and he prayed for them. How are we channeling our lament to draw close to others?

Lament 2 - Closer to Ourselves | Amy Summerfield | Psalm 55
#325
03/18/2025

As much as we might think that lament is all dark and gloomy, there is no better state of self-reflection than when we're most vulnerable - and that is the best silver lining in our bid to understand and draw closer to ourselves. How can we draw close to God when we're so far from ourselves? Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

Lament 2 - Closer to God | Laura Benn | Psalm 55
#324
03/05/2025

Our creator doesn't expect us to be okay all the time. That doesn't come with the subscription. As a matter of fact, Jesus said we would face trials and tribulations on this side of eternity. Why then do we always feel the need to cover up our mess and pain, rather than acknowledge our hurt, heartache, and throw ourselves at God for His ever present loving embrace? Why do we struggle so much to be vulnerable? Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here. You can stay connected with us by going to zeoc...


Lament 1 - Learning to Lament | Matt Summerfield | Psalm 55
#323
03/03/2025

Vulnerability - isn't that one of the biggest challenges in the world today, especially for us Christians who don't want our faith questioned? However, in this new series, we learn that its in the place of acknowledging our pains and emptying our broken hearts out to God that he puts us together and fills us up.

Spiritual Warfare - Look Up | Nicola Foster | Eph. 6:10-18
#321
02/19/2025

As Christians who are already smarter then the evil trickster, we should always remember that the enemy is fighting an already lost battle. This is why we should always look up to the one from whom our victory comes from. Where else would we look? Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

Spiritual Warfare - Pray Up | Matt Summerfield | Eph. 6:10-18
#322
02/16/2025

One of the most potent weapons we have as Christians is "Prayer". This is why the enemy of our soul - whose mission is to kill, steal, and destroy - fights tooth and nail, to ensure that we don't pray. How do we outsmart the enemy, speak the word, and win the war? Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

Spiritual Warfare - Gear Up | Nicola Foster | Eph. 6:10-18
#320
02/05/2025

We've established that there is a war going on, against an invisible opponent, and the only way to win is to have the invincible Jesus deep down within. However, what role do we have to play? How we gear up for this spiritual warfare? Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

Spiritual Warfare - Wise Up | Matt Summerfield | Eph. 6:10-18
#319
02/02/2025

As Apostle Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians - we wrestle against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Since we are not oblivious to this situation, the important question is - How do we prepare for this spiritual warfare? Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

A Brave New Church - The Changing Church | Bev Murrill | Rom. 8:18-22
#318
01/19/2025

Just like Peter saw the vision about the "unclean food" that challenged his fundamental beliefs, there are times when as a church, the vision ahead challenges our fundamental beliefs but how do we respond? Do we rebel and reject, or do we rethink and reach for God's divine understanding to do His will? Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

A Brave New Church | Matt Summerfield | Matthew 22:35
#317
01/05/2025

Being followers of Christ isn't the same thing as being religious. As a matter of fact, being religious is the opposite of what Christ wants us to be as Christians. Religion talks about being fearful slaves to law; Christianity talks about being bravely freed by love. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

Finding Jesus | Nicola Foster | Luke 2:22
#316
12/31/2024

Just as the star was placed in the sky to help the 3 wise men find the new born Messiah, God wants us to look at the several other things that he has placed around us to help us find the same Jesus, who lived, died, and rose again for us to have eternal life. Nicola explains all about finding Jesus. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

Not About the Presents | Amy Summerfield | Romans 5:7
#315
12/17/2024

This Christmas, let's remember that what is most important is not the presents, the meals, the time off, or the reunions. As much as those are good, let's not forget that the biggest gift is God's presence. Immanuel - the gift from divinity to humanity.

How Do You Save the World | Matt Summerfield | John 3
#314
12/02/2024

As Christians, our utmost mission is to team up with Christ in the great commission to restore humanity back to its creator - The commission of salvation. However, the question is how far are we willing to go, and how much sacrifice are we willing to make in order to let God's love flow through us to others?

Love Your Neighbour: Jonah Chapter 4 | Nicola Foster
#313
11/20/2024

Jonah apparently delivered God's message to the Ninevites, hoping that they wouldn't change and consequentially, experience God's wrath. They did change, and Jonah blamed God for being too loving and gracious. The audacity. As Christians, are there people we'd rather stigmatise or hope that they face the "consequences", rather than partner with God to reach and reconcile them back to their creator?

Jesus Calms Our Storms | Pete Gilbert | Mark 4
#312
11/17/2024

"Who is this man that even the wind obeys Him?" If only the disciples understand the kind of power that obedient faith provokes, they'd get why Jesus was able to sleep peacefully in the midst of a storm and then shush it like a little child. There are so many lessons to learn from this story, and Pete Gilbert dissects it from various angles. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

Love Your Neighbour: Jonah Chapter 3 | Matt Summerfield
#311
11/06/2024

Jonah eventually delivers God's message to the inhabitants of Nineveh and contrary to his negative perception; they did change their ways and repented. As followers of Christ, our ultimate ministry is to partner with God to restore repair, rebuild, renew, and reconcile humanity back to Himself. We need to step out of ourselves and step into fulfilling our assignment. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

#310
11/03/2024

Three speakers, one message - Love Your Neighbour. How are we going the extra mile to spread the love of Christ to others? What are we doing to reach the lost, the least, and the poor? How are spending ourselves for the service of others? For this community service, Amy, Tobi, and John speak to us about Christ's expectations of us as Christians in our various communities.

Love Your Neighbour: Jonah Chapter 2 | Nicola Foster
#309
10/23/2024

Jonah got swallowed by a giant fish and in his state of despair, turned to God for help and God did help him. Jonah may not be as celebrated as other notable prophets, but his story is definitely related to how we live our daily lives even today. God's love is not for us to gatekeep, but to be channeled through us to everyone we meet. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

Love Your Neighbour: Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman | Nicola Foster | Luke 7:36
#308
10/21/2024

The Pharisee and other onlookers were judging Jesus in their hearts for not discerning that a "sinful" woman was washing his feet. However, they didn't realise that the irony of their thoughts is that not only are we all sinners and products of grace, but people who we slap the "sinners" tag on, are the right recipients of Christ's love.

Love Your Neighbour: Jonah Chapter 1 | Matt Summerfield
#307
10/11/2024

Jonah just couldn't wrap his head around why God cared about Nineveh. A city renowned for its cruelty, abominable acts, injustice, and evil. To prove that to God, he disobeys Him and travels in the opposite direction. Isn't that rather ironic? Jonah's story, as we'll explore in this series, shows how far God is willing to go to ensure that humanity is reconciled with Him.

Love Your Neighbour: Jesus and the Gentile Woman | Matt Summerfield | Matthew 15
#306
10/06/2024

Imagine in this age and time of social media justice and cancel culture, a famous teacher calls a woman a dog! That was the line Jesus towed with the gentile woman who came to Him for help. However, the interaction was divinely orchestrated to teach His disciples and us as Christians, a vital lesson about the extensive, all-embracing love of God. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

Love Your Neighbour: Jesus and Zacchaeus | Nicola Foster | Luke 19
#305
09/30/2024

There are so many lessons to learn from Jesus' interaction with Zacchaeus. A tax collector and swindler who everyone despises with passion. Jesus further proved by hanging out with him the example for us to follow in our bid to spread the gospel. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

#304
09/17/2024

There are so many lessons to learn from Jesus' healing of the possessed man living in the tombs.

The God Who Looks for Us | Nicola Foster x Matt Summerfield | Luke 15:11-32
#303
09/01/2024

The story of the prodigal son alludes to the fact God is forgiving and loving, regardless of our past. However, we hardly notice that Jesus told that story as a double-sided preach for both the law breakers and the law keepers. Either way, law brings judgement but love is what Jesus is, and what He wants us to be, because love brings only grace. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.

Service: An Act of Worship | Neil Osmond x Tim Hallas
#302
08/19/2024

There is no "I" in team, and when we stop thinking in a self-centred manner, we begin to see how we've always been the solution to the problems we're complaining about. Serving is beyond being a part of the solution; however. It is an act of worship to God. Tim and Neil remind us that when we we go fully into worship; consequentially, we draw really close to God.

As We Grow in Faith | Laura Benn x Tewabech Melaku
#301
08/05/2024

As we grow in faith, it is important to know that God deeply cares about the totality of our humanity. He doesn't expect us to be perfect or put on a show. However, He does expect us to be proud of our faith and to share the gospel boldly with everyone around us. Tewabach and Laura remind us of these important facts.

Becoming Human - Reflections | Matt Summerfield | Matthew 7:24-29
#300
07/22/2024

Listening isn't necessarily the essence of Christ's teachings. As Christians, practising is more important than listening. As we conclude the series - Becoming Human - Practising the Way of Jesus, Matt shares some reflections and reminds us that practising our Jesus-centred way of life is the only to see the changes our souls desire.

Becoming Human - What Next? | Matt Summerfield
#296
07/12/2024

Over the past three months, we've gone through several spiritual practises to help us be with Jesus, become like Him, and do what he's doing? Now, how do we plan to stay committed to these habits we're trying to form? Remember - habits, like crops, aren't cultivated in one day. We must keep at it and trust the Holy Spirit to continue His good works in us, and through us. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, we’re so glad you’re here.
