Renew Your Strength | Ps Steve Graham - 31st May 2026

In this message, Ps Steve Graham brings a timely word on resilience for anyone who has taken a hit and needs to bounce back.

Drawing from Isaiah 40, Ps Steve unpacks three foundations for genuine resilience: knowing God is here to comfort you, knowing God is truly with you, and getting a bigger picture of who God actually is. This is not about pumping yourself back up; it's about a real exchange, trading your depleted strength for God's strength.

If you've been knocked down, discouraged, or are still waiting for your breakthrough, this message will reframe your thinking and renew your faith.
Key Themes:

Why resilience has an X factor when you know God
Three foundations from Isaiah 40: God comforts you, God is with you, God is bigger than you think
The Hebrew word "halaf" and what renewal of strength actually means (it's not pumping a flat tyre back up)

Why the order in Isaiah 40:31 is intentional: soaring, running, and walking
Cooperating with God's renewing work rather than just waiting for it
