Nicola Bass: Connected Life

You were never meant to do life alone — discover how staying connected to Jesus and others leads to a flourishing, fruitful life. A Connected Life | A Real Five Star Life – Talk 2 In this second talk of our A Real Five Star Life series, we explore what it means to live a connected life — with God and with others. Through passages like Genesis 2:18, John 15:4–5, and Ecclesiastes 4:9–12, we’re reminded that we were never designed to do life alone. Our relationship with God fuels our relationships with others, and together we become a community that encourages, supports, and bears fruit. This message invites us to stay rooted in Jesus, build life-giving connections, and be part of a church family that strengthens faith and brings hope to the world.

Discover what makes life truly priceless — not success or wealth, but the immeasurable value God has placed on us through Jesus. A Real Five Star Life | Talk 1: A Priceless Life In this opening message of our new series A Real Five Star Life, we explore what it means to live a truly priceless life — not measured by wealth or success, but by the incredible value God has placed on us. Through passages like John 3:16, Romans 8:32, and 1 Peter 1:18–19, we’re reminded that Jesus gave His life so we could know forgiveness, freedom, and eternal hope. God’s love makes us priceless — and it changes everything about how we live today.

Your life matters more than you could ever believe — every prayer, every act of service, and every invitation can make an eternal difference. Your Life Matters | More Than You Could Ever Believe In this message, David reminds us that our lives matter more than we often realise — to God, to others, and for eternity. Drawing on stories like Albert McMakin’s quiet invitation that led Billy Graham to faith, we see how even the smallest prayers, acts of service, and invitations can ripple out in life-changing ways. Through Scripture and testimony, we’re encouraged to live with confidence that our prayers matter, our service matters, and our invitations matter. Everyone gets to play in God’s Kingdom — and your life really does make an eternal difference.

In this practical and biblical workshop, we explore what prophecy is, why it matters today, and how to share what God puts on your heart with humility and love. We learn simple principles for giving and receiving prophetic words — testing them, encouraging others, and staying rooted in Scripture. This session will equip you to listen for God’s voice and use the gift of prophecy to build up and encourage those around you.

In this practical and faith-building session, we explore what the Bible says about healing and how we can confidently pray for others. Together we tackle big questions: ✨ Does God still heal today — and how? ✨ By whose authority do we pray? ✨ Could God really use me? ✨ Why aren’t all people healed? We also walk through some simple, Spirit-led steps for praying for healing and trusting God with the results. Whether you’re just curious, want to grow in faith, or are ready to step out and pray for others, this workshop will inspire and equip you to move forward.

In this message, we reflect on what God is doing quietly but powerfully across the church in our nation and beyond. Drawing on recent reports and surveys (The Quiet Revival, Finding Jesus, and Changing Church 2025), we celebrate stories of growth, transformation, and the work of the Holy Spirit in people’s lives. We also took time to pray for a continued move of God, and consider how we can be ready to play our part in what God is doing.

In this message, we reflect on key lessons from the book of Acts. We’re reminded that God calls His Church to love boldly, witness courageously, and depend fully on the Spirit as we carry the Gospel to the world. Be empowered as you listen.

In this powerful message from Acts 26, David explores Paul’s bold defence of the Gospel before King Agrippa. Despite being in chains, Paul speaks with passion, clarity, and a deep desire for all to come to faith in Jesus. We reflect on the courage it takes to remain faithful in the face of pressure and opposition, and how we, like Paul, are called to live unashamed of the Gospel. This talk invites us to live with urgency, compassion, and conviction in sharing our faith with those around us.

In this message, we journey through Acts 16 to see how God actively helps us share the Good News. From guiding Paul and his team through the Holy Spirit, to opening hearts like Lydia’s, to miraculous prison breaks and transformed lives — this story reminds us that God is deeply involved in mission. We’re invited to trust the Spirit’s leading, believe in God’s power to save and set people free, and keep praying and praising — even in hard places. Jesus sends us, equips us, and goes with us

In this powerful message from Acts 13:1–12, we reflect on how the early church in Antioch listened to the Holy Spirit, responded in obedience, and saw God's power at work. Jen shares how we, too, are called, sent, and empowered by the Spirit to carry God’s presence into the world. This message reminds us that mission isn’t just for a few — it’s the Spirit-led calling of the whole church. Be encouraged as you listen.
