That aspect of God is compassion. How can a perfect God care and move on behalf of people that can continually disappoint Him? Our scripture reveals our God is full of compassion, that's who he is.2020-05-0327 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleStaying GroundedIn everyone of us is the desire to be seen and recognised. That was the motivating mindset behind the construction of the tower of Babel. The fact is, its God who promotes, God who elevates, we were created to follow. For those who are willing to submit to that reality, become great instruments for the kingdom of heaven.2020-05-0338 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleWhat's Missing?Have you ever felt like, there is a piece of a puzzle in your life that is missing? We have all felt that at some point in our lives, in fact missing something is very common everyday. The hope we find in Jesus, is that he completes every part of our lives.2020-05-0329 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleRemembranceOur lives are all impacted by the people who have gone before us, laying down their lives for our freedom. It's one thing to do it for people and a place that you love but what if those people don't reciprocate the same feelings. Our Lord Jesus Christ was a willing sacrifice His life for all mankind, including those who despised him. That love!2020-05-0332 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleGod the HealerHuman beings are not designed to carry toxic emotions in their lives. Bitterness is an emotion that seeks to destroy the one it comes in contact with. The God that we serve can heal the bitter waters.2020-04-2039 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleGet ConnectedWe are living in a generation of connection. Very rarely are we disconnected. Yet the same isn't true about our spiritual state. Many times we can fall into the habit of doing things, with out any thought process behind it. Our challenge is to stay connected so we don't miss out on what God wants us to hear.2020-04-2040 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleHoldfastWhat or who do you turn to when faced with a trial in life. The word holdfast carries a profound imagery and meaning. What we have to recognise is that God is always moving and its our responsibility to actively pursue God. If we are ever going to experience all the blessings and miracles that only God can provide it will take us striving to be where He is, never the other way around.2020-04-0527 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleOnly one GodWith the vast growth in our population, there has been a rapid growth in different of beliefs. The question that can be brought up regularly is, who is right? What separates our God from any other is the reality that he is omnipresent. All places at all times. What makes Him worthy of continual praise is His ability to answer our prayers. Our challenge comes when we, instead of working towards accomplishing His will, we try to force the hand of God to accomplish our selfish will. Those who try this do this to their own peril. David, through...2020-04-0542 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleGod’s Good PleasureWe serve a God that loves it when His people place priority on Him. Our life of dedication and being surrendered is what brings God pleasure. When we understand the gravity of compromise, we do everything in our power to prevent ourselves from ever going down that path.2020-03-3027 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleGetting the AnointingOne of the greatest misconceptions is that God only hands out his favour, dominion and anointing to a few select people. Truth is when we position ourselves to receive from God, He is faithful to pour it out. When we put Him first in our lives, make Him the focus we come to realise we become perfect candidates for His anointing.2020-03-2935 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleClose to ChristFaced with the possibility of self isolation, many fear the very thought. Yet could it be turned to being a time of growing the closest we have ever been to our lord Jesus Christ. What we see is Jesus when faced with isolation and being tempted in the wilderness, turned his weakest moment into our greatest hope.2020-03-2524 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleLearning to ListenAnxiety is at an all time high, with people reacting in all manners of ways. One of the side affects of this anxiety is involving our hearing, it seems as though the more anxious we are the harder of hearing we get. We have to learn once again to settle our anxieties in order to be able to hear what Jesus is asking us to do.2020-03-2232 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleRevelationThe devil likes nothing more than to confuse and disrupt the rational minds. He thrives in confusion and double mindedness. As Christians we must strive for right thinking, especially in times of crisis. As we seek Gods wisdom and direction, with things our minds can’t comprehend, he gives us revelation.2020-03-1831 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleYour sins are forgivenThe most hopeful statement we can receive from our saviour is, your sins are forgiven. Many of us spend our entire lives holding on to things that end up destroying our lives. This is the hope of the gospel. Come to Jesus and He will heal you.2020-03-1637 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleCorona CureWith the on going pandemic, fear is at an all time high. Yet what is the right response of Christ like Christians of today. Our scripture reveals fear brings torment and torment is not of God. There is a hope and it’s not found in a medicine man can provide.2020-03-1126 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleA Good ChristianMany fail to understand that we are multi dimensional creatures. Our inability to be able to check and deal with each dimension causes a breakdown in our lives. The gospel brings this to life and highlights the correlation between all. If we choose to obey and apply this principle we will inherently be blessed.2020-03-0928 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleA Lucky DayMost people base their human existence on the mere hope that luck will fall on them. This mythical mindset has been the cause for much heart ache but also because of its effects on us personally. We can’t allow the mindset of luck to bleed into our Christian thinking process. Understand God knows and orchestrates all things, it’s for us to submit and obey, this experiencing His blessing and protection.2020-03-0738 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleAtonementMany of us go through life trying our best to achieve all that we desire. We can transfer this mentality into our spiritual walk with Jesus. The fact is that we can not do anything to achieve salvation. What we find is that because God seeks an atonement between us and Him. It’s only through Jesus that we can achieve and accomplishing anything desirable.2020-02-2635 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleIndecisivenessMany are paralysed by indecisiveness paralysis. The power that caused the mind to become overwhelmed and therefore prefers to run away rather than want to fight. Our hope is knowing we have Heavenly Father that is fighting for us.2020-02-2628 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleLiving for TodayWorry is an emotion that can cloud our judgment and consume our days. Jesus challenges us to live for the day. In other words, not to allow our worry’s of yesterday to come into today. This may seem impossible but there are some strategies we can apply in order to be able to not become overwhelmed by worry.2020-02-2430 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleFashioned to FollowWe all can grow impatient at times, especially when waiting for promises from God. Yet the path to the promise land is always one that involves us following His guidance and refusing to race ahead. The consequences far outweigh the hardships we face while waiting.2020-02-2026 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleWhere are the nine?Gratitude is an attitude that we all must exercise. If we are not careful we will no longer appreciate the things Jesus has done in our lives. Truth is we are for ever in debt to our Heavenly Father and many times all he asks of is our loyalty.2020-02-2034 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleWhy Downcast?There are so many things in life that cause us to want to love life always looking down. But if we only look downwards, we will miss out on everything God has for us in the future. The challenge is to remember who God is, what he has done in the past he can do in our future.2020-02-1327 minRead Learn Live PodcastRead Learn Live PodcastThe Lost Book of Adana Moreau – Ep 70 with Michael ZapataThe Lost Book of Adana Moreau is the mesmerizing story of a Latin American science fiction writer and the lives her lost manuscript unites decades later in post-Katrina New Orleans.In 1929 in New Orleans, a Dominican immigrant named Adana Moreau writes a science fiction novel.

Michael ZapataThis week we have the very talented Michael Zapata on the show. 2020-02-1251 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleDon’t Kill the FlameThere are many illustrations in the word of God regarding flames or fires. A flame can also describe a drive or passion inside of us. One thing we learn in this sermon is that when ever selfish desires overpower Godly desires the flame dies. It’s striving for godliness that ensures the flame stays alive and we achieve what God has for us2020-02-1039 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleLongevityWe have all fallen into the trap of starting something but never fully completing it. When it comes to our Christian walk we can do the same, the challenge for us to stay focused on the will of God is one we all have to face. Yet the rewards far outweigh the sacrifice.2020-02-0429 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleDon’t WorryWith the current climate the world is faced with today, it’s getting harder not to worry. Yet Jesus makes a bold statement that many question, look over or despise. Don’t worry! Will you trust Jesus and rely that what he says is true?2020-02-0434 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThe AssemblyThere has been a sudden change in the perception of the church today. Seen by people as a half way house, motel and social gathering. Truth is there is a greater power and profound meaning to the church and if obtained becomes the source to establishing Gods kingdom on this earth.2020-01-2932 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvalePurificationStaying pure is not automatic, it takes a conscience decision everyday. The temptation of allowing yourself to fall into our previous life of carnality can be a constant battle. But purity is at root of Jesus’ resurrection, Jesus overcame sin and death now we have a hope of a new life of purity.2020-01-2735 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Spirit of WorkmanshipThe moment we get saved our spirit comes to life and it’s filled with the supernatural power of God. What lies there is an incredible potential, the ability to accomplish the work of God. If you truely desire to be used by God, you can be, everyone is a potential candidate. All you have to be willing to pray is “Lord, help me to be your hands and feet.” Watch as how God can inspire and help you to accomplish His will on this earth through your life.2020-01-2229 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Big PictureSomething we all struggle with is being able to see the bigger picture. Many times we neglect to understand that the big picture is linked to those who have gone before us. Our ability to take council from those wise elders helps us in discovering our destiny in the kingdom of heaven.2020-01-1921 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleGods EconomyWith all the uncertainties we face in our every day life, mans search for stability becomes a priority. Yet there are still things that we will all have to face, the good news is that with Gods help there is a way of escape. What we have to do is honour Him and God will do what he does best, provide.2020-01-1938 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvalePrison MinistryThe biggest challenge we can all face as servants of the Lord, is being willing to serve with a right heart in obscurity. Joseph had to endure this reality, and his conduct would be the deciding factor. Favour is something difficult to obtain but when obtained can be a great asset for the kingdom of God.2020-01-1931 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleWhat we ProduceThere is a gripping reality that we can’t escape, that is, someone is always watching. One thing that challenged me as a father is the reality of my children being a product of who I am. The principle is you teach what you know, you disciple who you are. Who are your disciples? What do they do? How do they act?2020-01-1942 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Cry of the LadGods ways are not our ways that’s for sure. There are so many things that we allow to go unnoticed. Yet the same isn’t true about our God. There isn’t one cry that falls on deaf ears. Even when that cry comes from someone that doesn’t seem like a possible candidate for a miracle. Yet we serve a good God that shows no partiality and is willing and able to bring answers when we cry out to him.2020-01-1930 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleStepping out of the BoatLife has its challenges, these challenges if negative can cause us to recoil, become withdraw and hesitant to take risks. We see the disciples all where in a time of crisis, thinking they were going to die but Jesus was there with them. The difference was he was outside the boat. What are you willing to do to be closer to Jesus? This requires faith.2020-01-1936 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThat You May Grow2020 is upon us and it’s another year to be able to learn and grow into all that God has for us. Our years challenge is to not leave one month where it would go to waste. This year I feel led by God to focus on four areas in our lives; 1. A life skill 2. A life lesson from Jesus 3. Memory verse 4. A word study. As we apply ourselves this year I believe God will help us grow and we will be able to achieve all that God has for us individually and as a church.2020-01-1929 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleRebuilding Life’s RuinesA lot can happen in one year, for good or bad. There are things that we have learned and there are things we are trying to unlearn. Despite where life may have taken you, the good news is that God is in the business of rebuilding. There is nothing too impossible for God, if we let him in to our lives.2020-01-1935 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Fullness of TimeOne thing we know is to be true about God, he is a God of structure and order. We all are governed by the power of time, yet God lives outside of it. Yet despite that being true, God chose to confine himself to time in order to bring to salvation all of mankind.2020-01-1931 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleSelf ControlSelf control is an area in our lives we all need help in. Unfortunately the world disregards self control as a major priority. Focusing only on the immediate and not on the eternal. The good news is there is a way we can prepare ourselves and not allow the temptations that come to overwhelm us.2020-01-1128 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleHired to WorkMotivation is a multi billion dollar industry, why? Because we are all very lazy. God uses those who are willing to get their hands dirty and aren’t afraid of hard work. There is a a lot of work to be done for the kingdom of God. Are you willing to help?2020-01-1128 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleFinally freeThere are people living under a sentence of rejection, abandonment, anger. Yet Jesus’ purpose was to set us free from all physical and emotional bondages. The answer is found in Jesus.2020-01-1139 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleRenewing the MindLying is a sin, lying to yourself is destructive. This is why the bible requires us to be speakers of truth, this is the path to maintaining a stable mind.2020-01-1136 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Urgent WordThere is great revelation we can draw from when it comes to the story of eutychus. The important principle we must all learn is; it’s never wise to be sitting on the fence. Eutychus was half in church half out, the challenge is to fully immerse ourselves in the presence of God.2020-01-1129 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Fathers SpiritCircumstance in life and people can draw the worst in us. When we get hurt we are prone to want to hurt back. Truth is as Christians we are challenged not to react the way the world would react, but act as the father in heaven would. This is the greatest challenge but the most rewarding.2019-12-0837 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleBlamelessMore effort needs to be put on the state of our spirit but for us to do this we must grasp the significant roles our soul and body play. A biblical principle has always been feed the spirit and starve the flesh. The more directed by the spirit the less influence our lower nature has. Which means the little the devil has to accuse you of.2019-12-0831 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleDwell in SafetySecurity is something we all seek. The problem is that many times we look in all the wrong places. If we are ever going to be able to dwell in safety and experience pure joy, it has to be submitted to the one true God.2019-12-0835 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleHealing the SoulRarely do we consider the effect the things we do will have on our soul. Generally the things that happen have a long lasting effect on our soul. Caring for the soul is something we all want but fail to understand how to go about it. Thank God we can go to Jesus who can deliver the tormented soul.2019-12-0539 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvalePress RepeatWouldn’t it be great if when we heard something the first time we instantly got it. How many jokes would we get and laugh at the right time, how many friends would we have, how much more would we actually know. Yet the older we get the more we have to be told time and time again. This is also true in our Christian walk. What we will learn is that god is a patient teacher, waiting for his students to receive his teaching and ready to pick up from where they dropped off.2019-12-0425 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Good GodMany look for fulfilment in the material things they posses. Only to become bored like a little child with the very things they worked hard to have. The reason for this is deeper than we realise. In this segment we answer the question, what makes a good God good? The simple answer is desiring not what we want but rather what we need.2019-12-0431 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Next LevelThe general approach to life is many times very casual. We try doing the least possible in order to achieve what we want. The problem with this approach is that god is always challenging us to go to the next level. If you are going to be and stay a Christian, you are going to have to learn to leave your comfort zone and go to the next level.2019-12-0427 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleWrestling with GodWe are living in an argumentative generation. Never before have we needed to explain or rationalise every decision we make. Truth is, God is not appose to an argument, disagreement or dispute. Question is, are you up for the fight? Will you stay in the fight long enough to feel Gods touch?2019-11-1821 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Power of a UniformIt can be very easy today to hide your true identity. With a rise in social media, we can project the best image of ourselves, even photoshop the things we don’t like. Life as an imposter is never easy and truth is, you always get caught. God offers the opportunity of a life time, be clothed in Him and everything He represents.2019-11-1837 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleStaying FocusedLife is full of ups and downs. Being a Christian does not make us exempt from those realities. We can take comfort in reading about how the mighty men of God can face real lows but not be removed from the will of God. Our challenge is to stay focus on what God wants for our lives.2019-11-1828 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Good in YouThere is nothing like being tested by life’s circumstances. Jesus uses this parable of the Good Samaritan to check the hearts of the hearers. We are challenged to find out, is there any good in me? And if so, what am I doing with the good God has put in me?2019-11-1034 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleNo CompromiseIn every diet we have a cheat day, these act as little compromises for our hard work through out the week. Truth is spiritually, our compromises will be our downfalls. Jesus challenges us to deal with every area of our lives so we would live lives as over comers. This requires an attitude of ‘no compromise’2019-11-0930 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleNot AbandonedHave you ever been the last person picked for a team? Maybe family or friends forgot your birthday. Truth is we have all felt the sting of being abandoned. Yet we serve a God who sympathises, having felt abandoned himself on the cross. Yet Jesus reminds us that despite that pain, he will not leave us as orphans.2019-11-0224 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleStriking a NerveThere are things in our lives that always get our attention. Things that excite or upset us. God uses these to bring us to the understanding of what we need to change. Our challenge is to remain sensitive to all of gods instructions.2019-10-3139 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleAbide in MeThere are a lot of things we can join ourselves to, Jesus challenges us to join ourselves to him. Would you be willing to surrender and allow Jesus’ blessing to flow through you?2019-10-2733 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleSon of EncouragementGrowing up we all had our Nik names our friends and family gave us. If church members or if Jesus was to give you a Nik name what would it be. Barnabas acquires the Nik name son of encouragement by those he made impact with.2019-10-2727 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleTime to MoveThere are a lot of things in our lives that their official aim is to slow us down to the point of becoming stationary. The challenge is to always stay mobile. With Jesus’ help we can overcome any obstacle and receive the life He designed is to have.2019-10-2337 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleGodly AppetitesOne things for sure, food is a sign that God loves us! Yet our appetites reveal if we love him back. Truth is we are more prone to indulge in the things that we like and enjoy, but our appetite for things that are good for us lacks. We need to develop a healthy diet for the things of God2019-10-2231 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleJesus The ChristMany christians get mixed up with the name of Jesus Christ. Some think that Christ is Jesus’ last name. But this name highlights who He is. In this episode you’ll discover what that name really represents.2019-10-1834 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleGood MorningWe say good morning all the time. But what consists us being able to truely have a good morning. We all have our morning routines but in order for us to live out a life that Jesus wants, we have to incorporate morning prayer.2019-10-1748 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleWorking on your CoreWhen it comes to physical fitness, we are instructed to work on our core. This is the central structure of you physical strength and abilities. More important are the core morals and values that we uphold as Christian’s. the challenge is to make sure we continue to ask question, why is it that we do what we do. This helps you to be grounded and fight back when the enemy tries to get you to drop your standards.2019-10-1435 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleThe VowThis is one of the most romantic vows made in scripture, many use the framework from this vow for their own weddings. But there is much to learn about the vows we make. What they mean and what we need to do in order to keep them2019-10-1432 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleSetting New GoalsWe are starting a new series called ‘Spiritual 8 Week Challenge’. Looking at things we have to stop in order to excel spiritually and things we have to start. This week we kick off with setting new goals. What is it that god has been putting upon your heart to do. Set your goals high and let’s see what Jesus can do in these 8weeks.2019-10-0930 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleBegotten of ChristThe search for trust worthy influencers is at an all time low. People today pride themselves on their ability to live double lives, many with multiple personalities. The word of god has something to say about this. Paul describes himself not as a teacher but a father. Thus giving him a more intimate, more personal reason for interest. Do you have a spiritual father. One that looks out for your interest? Paul teaches as the importance of being begotten of Jesus Christ.2019-10-0936 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleA Working ProgressThe key to Christianity is longevity. Yet nothing is more difficult than being faithful to gods will during times of persecution. What we can find hope in is the fact that our god is faithful and he is willing to help us through. Yet you and I have to be willing to stick to the course and stand our ground.2019-09-2427 minThe Potters House HelensvaleThe Potters House HelensvaleRejoiceAfter hearing the complaints from the religious sects that followed Jesus.
