Every believer has a God-given sphere of influence. This article urges Christians to serve faithfully in the time and place God assigns, trusting Him to work through ordinary people.

Across history and into today, God continues to use faithful, Spirit-led preaching to guide, correct, and nurture His people amid countless competing voices.

"At the first Christmas, Jesus was a refugee to Egypt, so we should welcome the stranger too." This is one of many Bible-based arguments used in support of open-borders immigration. But what else does Scripture say about this hot topic?

A stirring call to revival, urging believers to return to repentance, holiness, and the Spirit-filled power of the early church—echoing Ravenhill’s cry: “Lord, bend the church and save the world.”

The Church’s silence on Israel cedes its biblical identity to political voices. Scripture affirms Israel’s enduring covenant, revealing God’s faithfulness and shaping the next generation’s faith.

Our vision is to see Australia saturated with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with revival fires burning from the largest cities to the most remote country towns. By 2033—the 2000th anniversary of Jesus’ resurrection—we long to see a unified church mobilised for the Great Commission.

Each of us faces giants in life: fears, trials, temptations, griefs, and struggles that seem insurmountable. Yet the same God who strengthened David strengthens us. We may feel small and unprepared, but He equips us with “stones” of faith, prayer, Scripture, and perseverance.

Just as Christians fiercely defend the heart of Christmas and Easter in the face of commercialised reimaginings, can we not redeem the heart of All Hallows’ Day or Halloween as a day of remembrance and reflection for Christian martyrs and Christ’s victory over death?

The short book of Habakkuk is something that can really be of help, since that prophet felt the same way that we do: he was greatly concerned about what was going on in his world. But he ended up getting the right view on things, and we must as well.

What has been achieved in the Middle East is nothing short of a miracle. Now, the question on everyone’s mind is: Will there be lasting peace in this region?

Jesus celebrated these feasts, and so we will be drawn closer to Him if we search the scriptures to find out why Jesus felt they were so important. Each of the Feasts points to Jesus, and celebrating them opens an opportunity to draw closer to Him, the Righteous One, our Rescuer, Saviour and Lord.

We are in a time of outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the nations of the world, and there is more to come for Israel. Prophetically, we see the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) being our shelter in the Tabernacle of God under His wings – for the Jew first, and also for Gentile believers.

Many Christian leaders believe that God has entrusted a distinctive mission to the American church — a mission with two inseparable parts: to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations and to stand with the Jewish people, including the modern State of Israel.

It is a given that Christians should be concerned about the poor, about dealing with poverty, and about demonstrating compassion for the needy. However, too often, churches and Christians can do more harm than good when it comes to charity and help for the needy.

When the Lord finally intervenes on behalf of Israel, Zechariah predicts that He will seek to "destroy" the nations that had so viciously come against Jerusalem (Zec 12:9). It is as the judgment of God begins to fall on the nations, that I believe the Feast of Tabernacles will find its ultimate prophetic fulfilment.

One of the most sobering truths in Scripture is that how we treat Israel directly affects how God deals with us. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is unambiguous: those who bless Israel are blessed, and those who curse Israel come under God’s judgment.

Jim Caviezel is unrecognisable as King Herod in Zero A.D., an Angel Studios epic set for release in December. Zero A.D. also brings three major Australian actors into the faith-based conservative studio’s orbit. The Biblical recount tackles the Magi, mass murder and the miraculous.

"Prayer isn't enough" — the anger from those commenting on the Minneapolis shooting, where children were killed while they prayed. The reactions like this are from those who have no understanding of prayer.

When it comes to the manipulation, distortion, lies and corruption of the truth that assails us daily, you have a magnificent asset when you can wield the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

As long as we keep our eyes on our past in bondage in a place so oppressive it was called “Hell on Earth”, how will we ever come to know the place and identity that Jesus has prepared for us in the future that God has called “The Promised Land”?
