Guarding Your Joy : Ps Dané Garner

Compassion is more than a feeling; it is something that shapes the way we see and respond to the people around us. In this message, Ps. Chase  unpacks what it looks like to live with a heart of compassion and challenges us to recognise the opportunities God places before us to make a difference.

Our faith is not only reflected in our relationship with God, but also in the way we treat and care for those around us. In this message, we are reminded of God's heart for the vulnerable and challenged to consider how we can live with greater generosity, compassion and intentionality.

What does it mean to experience great joy, even when life doesn't go according to plan? In this message, we look at the foundations of lasting joy and how our relationship with God can shape the way we navigate life's challenges, respond to His goodness and live out the purpose He has called us to.

When we find ourselves in difficult seasons, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by our circumstances. But hardship doesn’t have to have the final say. In this message, Ps. Chase explores Paul’s encouragement to not lose heart in the face of difficulty, reminding us how we can navigate challenging seasons while continuing to keep our eyes on the Lord and the work he is doing in our lives.

There’s a difference between being on the team and actually being in the game. In this Men’s Night message, Ps Chase looks at Isaiah’s encounter with God and challenges us to move beyond passive faith and step into the purpose God has for our lives. As we encounter God’s holiness, recognise our need for His grace, and respond to His call, we’re reminded that we weren’t called to sit on the sidelines. It’s time to get in the game!

In a culture that tells us to follow every desire and satisfy every appetite, Scripture teaches us something different: not everything we feel needs to be followed. In this message, Ps Chase explores the importance of self-control, challenging us to recognise what may be mastering us and discover how the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit help us live differently. Our desires don’t have to determine our decisions!

In this message, Ps. Chase looks at the danger of settling before we reach all that God has called us to. Through the story of the Reubenites and Gadites, we are challenged to keep our eyes on what lies ahead, step forward in faith, and use what God has done in our lives to make a difference in the lives of others. The journey isn’t over yet!

As we come to the end of our Remain series, Jesus’ invitation is still the same: stay connected to Me. In John 15:14–19, Ps. Chase explores what it means to remain through obedience, produce fruit that outlives us, love one another, and find our belonging in Christ rather than the approval of the world.

Remaining in Christ is more than simply being connected to Him; it is learning to draw our life from Him. In Part 3 of our series, Remain, we explore John 15:5-8 and the relationship between dependence, prayer, and a fruitful life. As we stay connected to the true vine, we are reminded that the fruit produced through us ultimately points back to the One who gives us life.

In this message, we explore the story of Sarah and discover the attitudes that can quietly rob us of the joy God intends for our lives. From impatience and blame to cynicism and bitterness, we are challenged to guard our hearts, trust God’s promises and choose joy in every season.
