Message of the Month
Minority Report (April 2007) - 4 CD/DVD Box Set
If you have ever felt that the challenges of life are just too big for you then you are a perfect candidate for God’s blessing. Using examples from the life of Gideon and several of Jesus’ miracles Pastor Paul Hallam details how God uses the least, the fewest, the worst, the simplest, the smallest and the strangest.
God is not limited to our weaknesses. He is the unlimited God of all possibilities. God is not looking for numbers but for the minority who will trust Him and believe that He will honour His word.
Why Does God Ignore Me?(March 2007)
What do you do when you feel even God is ignoring you?
This message describes how a desperate Canaanite woman came to Jesus with her need only to be ignored and refused by him.
The matter didn’t end there though and yours doesn’t have to either. This message will help you when you feel just like many people do who are searching for a solution from God.

The Heart (4 CD box set)
‘The Heart’ is a four part series examining the modern heart.
Pastor Paul reminds us of the importance of guarding our hearts as its contents determine our direction and our future. Its influence reaches every part of our lives and shapes how we react in difficult situations and circumstances.
Part 1: Your Future is in Your Heart
Part 2: The Wellspring of Life
Part 3: What the Father Says
Part 4: The Heart of the Matter
Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that’s where life starts.
Proverbs 4:23
God of Wonder
Our age and society discourages us from being amazed. We can now know who is ringing us before we pick up the phone; we can even know the gender of an unborn child. But just when you think you’ve got everything worked something can still come along and amaze us.
In the early days of the Church believers were utterly amazed by God. When Jesus spoke miracles happened. God is a God of Wonder and you cannot work Him out.
We should never lose our sense of wonder but instead let our spirit be moved in the presence of God. Is your heart and spirit responsive to how truly awesome God is?
how great God is - God is more than we imagine; no one can count the years He has lived
Job 36:26
Men Behaving Godly
Men Behaving Godly is a two part series challenging Christians, and in particular men, to live as God intends. Pastor Paul Hallam gives practical ways for us to experience the unique benefits that God provides but also how to respond to the responsibilities that this entails.
Part 1: A New Way
For every negative in your life God has a positive answer but to experience this often requires a new way of thinking and a new way of speaking.
What you say breeds things in your life; do you speak positively or negatively? Pastor Paul pulls no punches as he details practical ways we can begin to learn a language that is constructive and not destructive. Do you need to learn a new language?
Part 2: Men Behaving Godly
We live in a day and age where the church is perceived as consisting of women, old people and young children; where have all the men gone?
In this hard hitting message Pastor Paul Hallam challenges men to rise up and take their God given responsibility seriously. Using examples from Scripture Paul examines why it is so important for men to live a righteous life, resist immorality, demonstrate loyalty and financial integrity and live a life of no compromise. Are you ready to rise to the challenge?
Man Overboard
‘Man Overboard’ is a saying of crisis and danger but storms are the breeding ground for miracles.
You may think storms and troubles in your life are negative; that they come against us to prevent us from fullfilling God’s purpose in our life but this is often not the case. Storms often come to lift us up and not to destroy. They come so that you might know the personal power and presence of Jesus Christ in your life.
What was the thought and motivation of Peter when he stepped out of the boat to walk upon the water. It seemed as though he had left comparative safety but Peter realised that it was safer to be on the water with Jesus than in the boat with his friends. When you are in the will and purpose of Jesus then there is no way that he will let you sink and the closer you get to him the more responsibility he will take for you.
Surface or Substance
Does your life match up to Christianity you profess?
Surface or Substance is an appeal to us as individuals, and to us as the Church, to examine the depth of our Christianity. We should not settle for being a passive influence in our society. Let us stop apologising for what we believe and proclaim the truth that God has entrusted to us.
Gods call to integrity and substance is motivated from His heart of love. The Holy Spirit will enable us to become people of substance.
Let us leave the life of shallowness and ineffectiveness behind and earth ourselves into God. When we do this our lives will inherit new meaning as we demonstrate the power of Christ in our lives.
