From Bones to Bread (Day 3) - 27/09/2026

Sep 28, 2026

In this final Encounter Conference message, Pastor Lloyd reveals that God’s intention is not simply to bring you out of a battle, but to transform the very place of your battle into a place of fruitfulness, provision and harvest. Through the Valley of Rephaim, discover how a territory once associated with giants and opposition eventually became known for its abundant grain. What was once a battlefield became a harvest field. The place where the enemy once occupied was transformed into a place capable of feeding others. Bones to Bread N3 Ps Lloyd D3 2… This message challenges us not to stop at deliverance or even breakthrough. God wants us to possess what He has promised, redeem the soil of our battles and build something greater than what the enemy tried to destroy. Kingdom breakthrough goes beyond defeating the enemy—we are called to become a source from which others can receive. Bones to Bread N3 Ps Lloyd D3 2… Through David and Samson, we see the same pattern repeated: the defeated giant becomes bread, the dead lion produces honey, and the place of desperation becomes a flowing spring. Killing the lion was victory, but returning to find honey was harvest. Bones to Bread N3 Ps Lloyd D3 2… God does not want the story to end with what you survived. The place that once represented warfare can become a place of sustenance, sweetness and abundance—not only for you, but for those who will receive through what God produces in your life. Bones to Bread N3 Ps Lloyd D3 2… Don’t stop at breakthrough. Let the battlefield become the harvest field.

The Faith Driven Life (Part 2, day 3) - 27/09/2026

Sep 28, 2026

In this Encounter Conference message, Ps Maartin unpacks Ezekiel 37 through the lens of the New Covenant, revealing what it means to live a life driven by the Word and Spirit of God. Through the valley of dry bones, we see a picture of believers carrying the life of Christ into a dying and broken world. Faith Driven Life Ps Maartin D3… The Holy Spirit lives within every believer as the revealer of Christ and the living Word. As we grow in revelation, the Word transforms the way we think, establishes our identity in Christ, and equips us to recognise and hear the voice of God. Faith Driven Life Ps Maartin D3… Just as Ezekiel heard God's Word and then released it into the valley, we are called to carry and reveal what God has placed within us. We have been sent with His Spirit, His glory and His Word—not to be shaped by the dead places around us, but to release the life of Christ into them. Faith Driven Life Ps Maartin D3… We are living letters of Christ. As the world encounters us, they should encounter a reflection of Jesus and begin to see what His life can produce in them. The more we know Him, the more clearly our lives can reveal Him. Faith Driven Life Ps Maartin D3… We see Christ, we are transformed into His image, and we reveal that same image to the world.

The Response of Faith (Day 2) - 26/09/20265670

The Response of Faith (Day 2) - 26/09/2026

Sep 27, 2026

In this Encounter Conference message, Pastor Lloyd unpacks the response of faith and reveals why genuine faith never remains passive. Hearing the Word is only the beginning—what we hear must move into our hearts, take root, and ultimately produce a response in our lives. The Response of Faith Ps Lloyd… Through the story of blind Bartimaeus, discover the progression of faith: hear, believe, receive, take hold, and respond. Bartimaeus did not wait for his circumstances to change before acting; his response demonstrated that he had already believed what Jesus could do. The Response of Faith Ps Lloyd… Faith does not act to make God's Word true—it acts because it believes His Word is already true. Like Peter stepping out of the boat and Abraham offering Isaac, our response becomes the visible evidence of what we truly believe. The Response of Faith Ps Lloyd… This message challenges us to abandon every plan B, take hold of what God has made available, and respond before we see the manifestation. Faith hears the Word, believes it, receives it, takes hold of it, and acts accordingly. The Response of Faith Ps Lloyd… Faith always has a response.
