Hope City Church - Dave Gilpin

You can feel the tremors. Two unexpected political events have taken place in recent times that have destabilised our world- Brexit and the election of Donald Trump as President. No one expected it. True public opinion has decided to go underground. Something is happening in the western world as a new sword of judgementalism hijacks some very real societal issues and concerns. In this message, Dave Gilpin expands on this and then searches for and finds the biggest issue of all.

There's something so new about to come into your life that the Bible describes as 'more than you could ask or imagine'. Yet this 'new wine' will only be placed into 'new wine skins' that won't waste a drop of your precious future. God is wanting to reinvent you. There's an awkward stage, a 'nobody' stage, a frustration stage and a redundancy stage. Dave Gilpin, live from Newcastle England, teaches you through the stages of becoming the Next You.....and as he says so often - the next big thing is the Next You. Get ready. Hold on! You're about to go where you've never been before.

Whether you've been called out like Abraham, thrown out like Jonah or sold out like Joseph, it's time to raise your Ebenezer and declare 'thus far, the Lord has helped me'. Jonah raised his in the belly of a whale and then that same whale took him to the shoreline of his destiny. That's what's going to happen to you as you lift up your eyes to the God who is forever by your side. If you're looking to restart your faith life, look no further.

If you pray for a canoe, God will give you a tree. The power of God gave you the tree. The art of Leadership will give you the canoe. The future of your world lies in the combination punch of the power of God and the art of Leadership. This podcast is about that art. Your future depends on it.

There are 10 gates between Heaven and Earth symbolised by Nehemiah repairing the 10 gates of Jerusalem. The principal gate is the Sheep Gate- the Gate of Redemption. If we can clear all 10 gates we'll find a rush of heaven's power that will move us faster and further into His plans and purposes than ever before.

All of success is rooted in an exposure to failure. Our greatest successes often come from the situations in which we open ourselves up to the greatest possibility of failure, yet the greatest chance of succeeding.

In all of our lives from the moment we were born, there's been The Scarlet Cord of God's faithfulness running alongside us, swooping into our future. It's been there in the euphoric times knowing that you'd need a companion when the music fades, and it's been there in troubled times knowing that you'll need someone to turn your test into a testimony of God's grace and power. It's even there when we're unfaithful, because God always remains faithful. The cord, the one that Rahab tied to her window in Jericho that prevented her part of the wall from tumbling down, needs to be tied to the window of your heart to see all God has prepared for you come to pass. It needs to not run beside us but run into us and through us. It's by faith that we enter into grace. This is Dave and Jen's story of God's amazing faithfulness since arriving in England 25 years ago. It's a short film. By faith they took ahold of the Cord and have not let it go. It's direction? Fruitfulness. And it's the same for you.

The theology of Donkeys - why God chooses to use ordinary things for His extraordinary purposes and not special things. God chose a donkey to carry His presence into Jerusalem and God chooses you to carry His presence into your city, for His Glory. In the message Dave Gilpin outlines the 7 keys of Donkeyology. Prepare to be empowered.

Ecclesiastes infers that if the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more effort is needed to cut down the tree. Yet, a few minutes of sharpening can make a difficult job seem effortless. In 2 Kings 6, a man loses his ax head but supernaturally gets it returned to him. This message gives keys to retrieving your cutting edge and thereby move into a new kind of effortlessness.

Inside every person's mind are Fields of Dreams, Floods of Emotion, Trains of Thought and Cities of Habit. The skyline of your mind will determine the skyline of your future. Welcome to The Mind Map Series. Romans 12:2 says to 'be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you can test and approve God's good, perfect and pleasing will'. The great adventure begins when you line up all you think with all you believe.

'I Am A Thought' takes the journey of a single thought as it enters The Grand Central Station of the Will. Where this thought ends up gives insight into the workings of every Christian's Mind.

'I Am A Prayer' takes the journey of a single prayer as it leaves the mouth of a believer and heads towards the vaults of heaven.

This audio book was written and read by Dave Gilpin as part of the Mind Map Series. It seeks to prove that fifty percent of all your weaknesses are mythical. They live in the world of the Jedi and not the real world. THEY DON'T EXIST! What the world labels as a disorder is often not a disorder at all, but an invisible gift that needs to be discovered and nurtured into its full potential. Dave Gilpin takes us on his own journey of self-analysis and discovery and reveals how he has not only survived the 'Doctors of Disorder' but has turned his own disorders into life changing assets. If you're serious about awakening and taming giants of personality, true talent and unique false within you, then this audio book is for you!

Dr Dave Martin, America's #1 success coach, brings his customary mix of hilarity, wisdom and heart to the Partners of the Vision of Hopecity church.

75% of everything that you think is impossible is not impossible. If all you can think is Zig then Zag, you'll be hampered all of your life by the feelings that things are just not possible! God more often than not calls us to Zag Zig. Creativity can break the code to 75% of your impossibility. This message is made for you.

Your future is the exact opposite of your feelings. Your destiny is the exact opposite of your dead ends. Your purpose in life is the direct inverse to the past in your life! Why? Because God builds his greatest strengths upon your greatest weaknesses. Because Jabez knew this, he was singled out from a list of 600 names and granted his cry to become everything he wasn't! Go figure.

Wisdom for a new year from Dave Gilpin. Most people get to the end of a year and start of a new year with frustrations, criticisms, and a general high level of exhaustion! Yet, it's your critical spirit that's a huge give away to your gifting and calling! If you've got the gift of mercy, you're going to be completely frustrated with those 'selfish people who care about nothing but themselves'. The only reason you're so frustrated is because YOU'VE GOT THE GIFT! Just don't let the tail of your madness wag the dog of gifting. That's all. And that's why you need to hear this message. Let your gift lead...always. And when you'll always have a tail!

In church life and in leadership, all too often we hear about ‘passing on the baton’. The problem with this is that it implies a LETTING GO of your calling in order to empower somebody else, when we are actually meant to stay in the game for the long haul. Paul was the HIT, but was championed by Barnabas the HITMAKER. Barnabas understood that discipleship through fatherhood and relationship was far more effective than raw leadership - leadership has an expiry date, but fatherhood is lifelong. When it comes to the kingdom of God, leaders are not always called to be the lead singer, but often to be the producer - the HIT MAKER. It’s time to put down the microphone and get in the studio.
