Two years after A Million Women gathered in Washington for ten hours of prayer and fasting, organisers point to victories they believe reflect God’s answers to intercession.

Jesus is calling us to love one another “just as I have loved you”. And if the Church does awaken to that agape (love), the world will see a great and powerful witness to Christ and his kingdom.

Before anything else, we must make prayer central. I urge the Church in Australia to awaken to, first of all, prayer.

Australia needs a courageous Church that never separates courage from Christian love — the courage of Peter and John, who, when ordered to cease speaking about Jesus, responded: “We can't stop.”

The church in Ephesus had so much going for it. Yet despite their hard work, perseverance, endurance, and discernment, there was something deeply wrong: they had left their first love.

God’s judgement can seem difficult to reconcile with His goodness. But Scripture presents God’s perfect justice as something we can celebrate — and His present offer of mercy through Jesus as the good news.

In the week leading up to Christ’s crucifixion, Jesus' soul was troubled. He responded with a bold prayer, and his example challenges us to that same boldness.

Jesus offers us intimate friendship, which produces great joy as we walk closely with him.

When Jesus rebuked the Laodicean church, this was not a sign of his lack of love, but proof of it and how greatly he longs to reward and bless us. He is knocking — will we answer?

Season 6 of The Chosen is releasing next month, and until 15 November, your church has the opportunity to host a free pre-release screening of Episode 1. Here's how.

God is intensely relational, and he puts us into a community of believers so we can use our gifts in service of Christ's body.

Christ’s authority and concern is not limited to the four walls of the church. They extend to the life of the nation, and we are called to take up our part in seeking its righteousness.

Christians have their differences. But those differences should not, and need not, result in us being disconnected from each other in the one body of Christ.

We often talk about church renewal as though we need more people, more programmes, more energy and more resources. But Jesus seems to start somewhere much smaller. With two or three.

The Church is the salt of the earth. But if salt becomes tasteless, it is useless — and thrown out.

As children of the day, let us live freely out of our identity and awaken those around us from spiritual sleep. We carry more than faith for a great awakening — we are the awakeners.

The Church is called to be counter-cultural not to be merely contrarian, but because we love God and people. In this world, that will mean going against culture that is contrary to God.

The Lord wants us to pray from a place of faith and resting in him. We can't awaken the Church, but he can — and he wants to do just that.

A revived Church is the only hope for a dying world. As Billy Graham (1918–2018) said, “An awakened Church is the greatest evangelistic tool in the world.”

The Church is God's choice to reach Australia. But is the Church largely asleep? Join the Canberra Declaration during 72 hours of prayer and worship to renew our love for God and prepare for 31 days of prayer for the Church in October.
