How to Inherit the Earth

Listen...

In Matthew 5:5 Jesus said: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” It is clear that as believers we are to be meek. However, many of us do not know what it means to be meek and as a result may miss out on our inheritance.

Speaking from Psalm 37, Pastor Gerri explains what is needed to be meek and how to rise above those things which may prevent us entering into our inheritance. This timely and encouraging message will draw you into a deeper place of trust in God.

The Just Shall Live By Faith

Listen...

Is your relationship with God mere religion, taught by the commandment of men? Scripture says that ‘without faith it is impossible to please God’ (Heb 11:6) and believers must recognise that everything they do must come out of a relationship with Him.

Focussing on the phrase ‘the just shall live by faith’, Pastor Gerri speaks about its four occurrences in Scripture, illuminating the context and presenting the principles of faith. This is an important message that will challenge you to evaluate the reality and intimacy of your relationship with God.

Partnership of Faith

Listen...

There is a working together of the natural and the supernatural that glorifies God and blesses us. A mature Christian is experienced and practiced in living a life of faith where human responsibility and heavenly power work in harmony.

In this challenging and farsighted message, Pastor Gerri Di Somma points to pitfalls that cause the Christians to stumble in life, but brings a practical perspective which makes it possible for all believers to succeed in what they have been called to do.

Characteristics of Faith

Listen...

Ephesians 6:10 exhorts us to ‘be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might’, and yet often we do not realise how important our faith is to this – which the enemy is continually attacking. Understanding how to contend for our faith is vital to survival in the believer’s life.

Basing his teaching on the armour of God as listed in Ephesians 6, Pastor Gerri explores the characteristics of faith, encouraging us to recognise the importance of truth, love, peace, unity, the Holy Spirit and prayer in living a life of faith.

Four Element of Faith

Listen...

Faith is more than just part of our Christianity; it is the expression of our relationship with God. Constantly under attack in today’s climate, it is crucial that we remain fixed upon Jesus, as the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Taking Hebrews 11:1 as his foundational scripture, Pastor Gerri explains four elements that enable us to activate our faith: timing, truth, attitude and application. This message will challenge and encourage you to keep fighting the good fight of faith!

I Will Not be Moved

Listen...

Do you have a dream? Each of us has a God given dream, but the enemy tries to take it from us one way or another. In order to see our dreams fulfilled, we need to stand firm, not be moved.

In this important message, Pastor Gerri explains how you can see as God sees and take positive steps to bring your dream to its fulfilment. Wherever you are in life, this teaching will give you direction and encouragement and will enable you to run your race so as to win.

The Godly Father

Listen...

The Lord’s Prayer begins: ‘Our Father, who is in heaven’, but where are the fathers on earth? Has heaven nothing to say while we watch more children becoming fatherless in the world today?

Heaven has a lot to say through the Bible. As Pastor Gerri takes us to the story of the prodigal son, he looks at the father in the story and the qualities he portrayed as a godly father. This message is vitally important for families today, not just for the father, but the whole family.

1: Understanding Prosperity

Listen...

2: Physical Prosperity

Listen...

3 John 2 says, Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, even as your soul prospers. This clearly indicates that there is more to prosperity than finances. The world’s economy is unstable and unreliable and it’s important for believers to live according to the certainty of Biblical prosperity.

In these first two challenging messages in the series, Pastor Gerri begins to open up the subject of Kingdom economics that leads to true prosperity.

Soul Prosperity

Listen...

In aiming to understand prosperity from a Biblical perspective, it is important that we consider the power of our thinking in influencing our lives. The Bible clearly teaches that God has given us a choice – whether to serve Him or serve ourselves, with obvious consequences.

In the third message in the Kingdom Economics series, Pastor Gerri explains what it means to prosper in our souls, and how we can begin to discipline our minds to focus on things above, not on things on the earth.

Relational Prosperity

Listen...

Successful relationships are a vital aspect of the prosperity that God desires for His children. In particular the marriage covenant, as symbolised in the relationship between Christ and the Church, is one that has been devalued in today’s society, despite its importance to God.

In this message, Pastor Gerri considers three important covenants as taught in Scripture, with a strong focus on the marriage relationship. He teaches some key Biblical principles that will enable you to strengthen your relationships, and particularly those within the family.

Relational Prosperity – Reconciliation

Listen...

As believers, our witness in the world is perhaps most clearly demonstrated in the way in which we conduct our relationships with others. It is God’s will that we follow His clear pattern for reconciliation in order that we live at peace with everyone.

In this important message for today, Pastor Gerri follows Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5-7 as a basis for explaining the principles we need to follow God’s pattern and demonstrate His nature to the world.

Financial Prosperity – 7 Key Truths

Listen...

In today’s climate, it is vital that we as believers understand sound biblical teaching about something that affects our lives daily - money. Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us that it is God ‘who gives you power to get wealth’, and yet many believers have difficulty in applying this truth to their lives.

Pastor Gerri begins his study with this verse and then gives us 7 biblical principles relating to finances. This message will encourage you to allow God to be your ‘senior partner’ in financial matters and thereby walk in His wisdom in your financial affairs.
