Imagine being in the shoes of Asa - Ps Andrew McCarthy

What if your greatest step toward God isn't adding something to your life, but removing something that's getting in the way? In the final message of the series, we look at the life of King Asa, a leader remembered not for extraordinary achievements, but for his courage to remove idols and restore the altar of the Lord. After receiving a prophetic word, Asa responded by clearing away everything that competed with God and calling the people back to wholehearted devotion. This message challenges us to ask an important question: What have we placed above Jesus? Whether it's success, comfort, approval, busyness, or distraction, anything that takes God's place becomes an idol. Discover why seeking God with all your heart changes everything, how spiritual renewal begins with removing what hinders your relationship with Him, and why true revival always starts with restored prayer, Scripture, and wholehearted surrender.

Imagine being in the shoes of Benaiah - Ps Andrew McCarthy

What do you do when you're faced with a battle you didn't ask for?    Most of us want to make a difference for God, but we often underestimate what He can do through ordinary people. Throughout this series, we're discovering that some of the greatest heroes in Scripture were people whose names are barely mentioned, yet their impact changed lives and shaped history.    In this message, we dive into the incredible story of Benaiah, one of David's mighty men. He killed two lion-like champions of Moab, chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day, and defeated a seven-and-a-half-foot Egyptian giant armed with only a club. Why? Because he understood a powerful truth:    Great opportunities often come disguised as difficult challenges.    As believers, we're not just facing physical obstacles, we are engaged in a spiritual war. The enemy wants us to retreat, stay silent, and live intimidated. But God calls us to stand our ground, put on His armour, and fight for the people around us.    This message will challenge you to rethink bravery, confront the giants in your life, and discover how your courage today can become someone else's pathway to Jesus tomorrow.    You don't need a big name to have a big impact. You simply need the courage to trust God and take your stand.    This message will speak to:  What biblical bravery really looks like  The powerful lessons from Benaiah's life  Why difficult challenges often hide God-sized opportunities  Understanding the spiritual battle we're all facing  How your courage can influence the next generation  Standing firm when fear, opposition, and uncertainty come    Biblical bravery isn't the absence of fear, it's trusting God enough to act anyway.

Imagine being in the shoes of "That Woman" - Ps Andrew McCarthy

What if the things you think are insignificant are actually the things that matter most to God? In this powerful message, we unpack the story of the poor widow in The Gospel of Mark 12:43–44, a woman overlooked by society, yet publicly honoured by Jesus for giving two small coins. While everyone else noticed the large offerings of the wealthy, Jesus noticed the sacrifice of someone who gave everything she had. This message challenges the way we measure impact, significance, and faithfulness. In a world obsessed with platform, influence, and recognition, God often works through unseen acts of obedience, generosity, kindness, and surrender. We explore: • Why small acts matter in the Kingdom of God • The difference between giving from surplus and giving sacrificially • How faithfulness in ordinary moments impacts people more than we realise • Why God sees what others overlook • What it means to truly go “all in” for Jesus Maybe you’ve felt unnoticed. Maybe you’ve wondered if your prayers, serving, giving, or obedience really matter. This message is a reminder that Heaven measures differently than the world does. The question is not whether your offering seems big to people, it’s whether you are willing to place God first, even when it costs you something.
