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.

The 2nd installment of the New wine series. Sozo
Presented by Gerald Barth.
Carried on a Mat by friends who were so determined that they climbed to the top of the roof, removed the tiles and lowered hm to the feet of Jesus, so that he might be healed.
Luke 5:17
You say faith, James asks to see your works.
Jesus forgives His sins, and causes quite a stir.
But He heals the man to show that he has the authority to forgive.
What is your mat?
What defines your weakness?
How desperate are you to receive a touch from Jesus?
We all need Friends who will bring us before the Lord.
Let’s be that friend and let’s pick up our mats as wounded healers.
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.
The topic is baptism,
The message is immerse,
The problem is not how,
Nor is the criticism why,
Because the Way is through faith,
and in the Lord, Jesus the Christ!
So some to the River.
Today we looked at the prefix RE and words that have a Kingdom message through them.
Re means anew, afresh or once more.
We serve a God of New beginnings, fresh starts and once more.
He does not expect perfection from us, and does not love us conditionally.
He died for our sins before we committed any and,
accepts us despite our inability to be consistent.
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.
In closing:
We’re in tension with the Kingdom and the world.
We’re in the radical middle of orthodoxy and Experience.
We’re in confrontation with all extreme positions while radically holding on to ours.
That Christ is the centre of it all and that Mystery is underscored by His love.
Without it we can do nothing of eternal consequence.
But!!! Christ is risen!
Holding in tension the Word and Spirit.
We start by reading the Word.
We rethink and contemplate: meditate.
Then we consider the truth.
We need to be inspired to receive revelation.
The Holy Spirit brings to memory what we’ve received.
In a moment of spontaneity, we give it away.
