Jim's anointed teaching shows us where we have broken God's heart as His Church. He not only stirs us up to long for change but gives us amazingly clear challenges to help us identify how to do that.

Arise! O Lord in the Darkness (Part 1)

Takes Ezekiel 34 as a foundation to look at God's heartbreak when a confused culture finds a compromised Church. Jim teaches about:

the decline in authentic biblical teaching and preaching,

the disinterest in the lost,

the disparagement of biblical leadership

the disparity between what we believe and how we behave,

the dependence on wrong things,

the defective understanding of the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit,

the disappearance of the kingdom from the marketplace,

and devalued worship.

Arise in the darkness (Part 2)

Jim teaches how we are either building blocks or stumbling blocks.
If the Church is to change it needs to:

recapture a healthy fear of God,

become realistic in commitment to truth,

refocus its attitude to money,

radicalise fellowship,

release spiritual gifts with confidence and expectation,

re-engage with culture,

and recognise the reality of spiritual warfare.
