a Young Private’s story
Travel with Dillon as he delivers our first message for 2019.
From the man at the Pool of Bethesda he looks at the intervention
of Jesus.
An encounter with Christ is never business as usual.
Previous excuses or conditions are rendered powerless.
It will bring about change and even radical alterations.
You can’t go back to the way things were.
And you will have a story to share.
Jesus said; “I am the light of the world.”
He comes to us in our dark places,
He brings revelation of truth and frees us from our captive thoughts.
He reassigns us into His purpose by announcing our brief.
Peter was a fisherman called to be a shepherd.
Jesus wants to change your fisherman thinking into shepherding nurture.
A New experience to remember.
The light of God, directing our path.
Join Brandon as he takes you on a journey into our stories.
Reflect on the scripture that brings you into the radical middle of our choices.
Then let the Word speak for Himself.
24The truth is, a kernel of wheat must be planted in the soil. Unless it dies it will be alone � a single seed.
Mark 6:7 – And he called his twelve disciples together and began sending them out two by two, giving them authority to cast out evil spirits.
7 It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow
Psalm 92:12But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. 13For they are transplanted into the LORD’s own house.
Look around you! Vast fields are ripening all around us and are ready now for the harvest.
Servant leadership
John 13
Philippians 2
following the attitude and example of Jesus
When we are full of the Spirit he could lead us into dry places.
But He is able to sustain us.
We need our gardens of relationship to be intentionally:
Prepared: Tilling the soil
Invested in: Sow good seed
Prioritised: Given time
Watered: Led by the Spirit of God, the Living water
Many Jesus followers understand commitment and sacrifice.
They’re willing to serve, give and and do ‘whatever it takes’.
But there is a time for doing nothing and letting Him touch you.
This level of intimacy is what people struggle with.
He wants us to come away with Him, to draw close and let Him cleanse us.
Will you surrender yourself to Him today, not your stuff but your heart.
