Tribe Church. Byron Bay

In this powerful message at Tribe Church on June 14, Deb Ferris shares on the journey of awakening to deep inner healing, focusing particularly on the hidden impact of bitterness and how unresolved wounds can hinder the abundant harvest God has for our lives.Drawing on her extensive experience in heart restoration ministry and leadership with Elijah House Australia, Deb unpacks the concepts of bitter-root judgments and bitter-root expectancies. She explains how negative judgments formed in response to past hurts—often in childhood—can take root deep within our hearts, producing unhealthy fruit in our relationships, emotions, and expectations.Using the powerful illustration of roots and fruits, Deb shows how the visible struggles we experience on the surface often originate from unseen roots beneath. She explores how bitter root expectancies can cause us to anticipate disappointment, failure, or hurt, shaping our lives in ways we may not even realise.With wisdom, clarity, and compassion, Deb offers practical insight into identifying these hidden roots and embracing God's pathway to healing, freedom, and restoration. This message is a valuable resource for anyone seeking greater emotional and spiritual wholeness and a deeper understanding of God's healing work of God in the heart.

Phil brings a message on the theme of joy. He highlights the deeply relational component of joy and explains where supernatural joy comes from and how the Lord imparts it to us. The Apostle Paul said to the Philippians, “I love you and long to see you, dear friends, for you are my joy and the crown I receive for my work.” (Philippians 4:1 NLT) Joy is the fruit of a deepening relationship. Our brains are hardwired for joy, and it is the fuel they run on. Joy is awakened from being with those who love us and are delighted to see us and to be with us. Jesus promised us participation in His joy as He speaks His love over our hearts. Joy also comes from seeing Jesus’ face. The Holy Spirit causes the Father’s face to shine upon us and to grant us both joy and peace. The Apostle John said, “I look forward to coming to visit and speaking with you face-to-face – for being together will complete our joy!” (2 John 1:12 TPT) Joy is the fruit of a relational upgrade with the One who is most delighted to be with us. May this message ignite joy in you!

The Scriptures are full of exhortation to persevere - stand firm, don’t give up, do not grow weary. In this short message in our series on Sowing & Reaping, Rob shares some thoughts from Galatians 6 on why we sometimes grow weary doing good, and how to resist the temptation to give up.

Everything in our lives rises and falls on our capacity to know that God is good, and that we can learn to receive His love, more and more! There is no limit to the amount of His love that you can receive! On this Father's Day, Maria brings a key message about learning to receive the Father’s love.However, receiving love can feel very complicated, especially God's love, as it is unconditional and requires nothing in return. Maria shares two key weapons in not being deterred from your deeper journey with the Father- our righteousness in Him and our sonship with Him. We are qualified to receive all the benefits of His glorious love when we activate these keys.Nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8). It’s all yours, and He wants to teach you again and again how to be great at receiving it! Letting the deep love of the Father in, will displace three core lies that the devil works with: I am unworthy, I am not loved, and I am not enough! The perfect love of God is designed to displace each of these lies over and over - not just once! Friends, there is more! Not only do you get the benefits of love, but you also get five keys of life: identity, purpose, passion, security and singular vision! This is gold, and it's all for free as you press into the glorious love of the Father! His Hesed love is for us and will carry us to deeper love!

Do you ever feel like your faithfulness in the small, unseen moments goes unnoticed?In this message Dan Harbottle, Senior Leader at Glorify Church, shares a timely prophetic word for every believer.Discover how God sees and rewards your secret faithfulness, what it means to release the "Sound of Hesed" (His steadfast love), and how you can receive a fresh anointing of joy and strength for your journey. This message is an invitation to trade weariness for His power and step into the public breakthrough that your private devotion has been building.

In this second message in our Sowing and Reaping Sunday series, Rosie invites us into the mystery of the Hidden Seed, a life surrendered to the deep, unseen work of God. At the heart of this message is the revelation that God is a sower and he is always sowing. He sows His Life, His Word, His Spirit, and His purposes into our lives and into the soil of our hearts. As we respond in the secret place, we become seeds in His hand, buried, broken open, and prepared for a harvest only He can bring. This is not a passive process, but a divine partnership that leads to lasting fruit. It is an invitation into the beauty of abiding, trusting, and letting God sow into and then through your life.

In this final session on spiritual warfare, Phil Mason took his audience on a journey of exploring the skills of defensive warfare. We are always engaged in spiritual warfare because the devil doesn’t go on holiday. To become ‘more than a conqueror’ and an overcomer, we must avail ourselves of the full protective gear God provides for us as we step onto the battlefield. Every piece of spiritual armour contributes to our complete protection from everything the powers of darkness throw at us. Understanding the significance of each piece of armour referenced in Ephesians 6 informs us of the nature of the battle we are facing. This is essential equipping for every follower of Christ. We hope you have enjoyed this series!

In this message Phil Mason explores what God has already done in us through the new birth, versus what He is now doing in us as we follow Him as He leads us into freedom. There are several factors that remain active in the life of the Christian until we learn how to deactivate them. The world, the flesh, and the devil all continue to exercise influence in our lives until we learn how to cut off these influences through the power of the cross and the power of the blood of Christ. These dark and sinister influences can persist in the life of an unguarded Christian who doesn’t understand the power and authority that Christ has given us to become, in his words, “overcomers!” The challenge for each of us is to overcome the world, the flesh, the devil, sin, demonic infiltration, generational strongholds, and emotional brokenness. Jesus has made full provision for our complete freedom, but we must learn how to activate the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives and deactivate every dark thing that seeks to rule and dominate our lives. We hope this message is a blessing to everyone and will encourage you in your ongoing journey to pursue the life of an overcomer.
