Resurrection Sunday

There were many symbols reflected upon this weekend.

Craig starts with a brief explanation of the egg of pass-over meal.

In order to take hold of the new, we need to let go of the old.

The principal of leaving and cleaving.

He then moves on to the way our brokenness and pain cloud our vision.

When everybody else can see what’s in front of us.

He looks at the pain of the disciples which informs their doubt and fear.

Then how a revelation of the risen Lord changes our view and belief.

The crowded House

This Palm Sunday we’re focused on crowd mentality.

How we can get swept up in following popular opinion.

We looked at the context of crowning kings and our expectation of these events.

Jesus engaged and planned His entry by being intentional towards prophecy and scripture.

He embraced death and teaches us to hear His voice and stand out of the crowd.

Telling your story

We look at the Biblical model of telling our story.

Why we need to share it and what a difference it makes.

Rob Norman shares the ABCD of leading somebody to Jesus and finally of the disruptive journey of doing life together.

Why Pray – the art of conversation

When we pray we identify with our humanity.

We accept our limitations and recognize His deity.

We can pray in different ways but conversations require both talking and listening.

We look at how Jesus prayed in the garden.

How the God-man identified with his human limitations and surrendered to the Father’s will.

We face our fear and exchange it for confidence in the Lord.

The Last shall be the First

Your destiny is a measurable point of your journey.

The Lord sets in place the principle of first.

Prototypes are the foundations of what will be built.

The apostolic lays foundations and sets order in place.

God wants to bring order into your chaos.

What will have to be set in order.

When the Chief apostle, the cornerstone, brings order he brings:

healing, deliverance and life.

is this forgiveness

Forgiveness is not just saying I forgive you.

It’s more than letting go.

It’s knowing the offence or debt and addressing it.

Then it requires a decision followed by a communication of intent,

that all rights to you legal claim is forgone and relinquished.

It is both an event and a process.

Refreshed and Renewed

Refreshing and renewing is part of God’s plan for us.

He allows us to endure situations to refine us.

He has included fire in our life cycle.

He also pours the living water of refreshing.

But He sows good soil into our tilled hearts.

The Spirit wants us to grow into our full potential.

So we need to allows the Father access to intimacy to reveal and initiate His will for our lives.

 

Walk in Love

Ephesians 4:32 till 5:2

To love is to imitate God who Loves perfectly

Therefore, To love first and foremost is to forgive.

We extend the Charis – the Grace

Giving Grace to others because the blood of Jesus has redeemed us,

allows His work to be completed in us and through us.

The cross is the ruling principal of Christian living.

Love is sacrificial self giving.

So what are you willing to give?

As you have received, freely give. Be it love, forgiveness or acceptance.

You are the beloved children of God.

O How He loves us

The Lord wants to demonstrate His love to us.

His Love always motivates His actions.

He Knows what’s in our hearts and what motivates us.

He is our Good Father, His heart is for us.

He wants us to experience His grace.

He never takes away our choice.

He will protect His children from harm.

So choose Life and let His children live.

Lord Let Your Glory Fall

God seeks to give you purpose, not to make you happy.

Happiness is not a kingdom principle, Joy is.

What is the difference between happiness and Joy?

How do I surrender myself into His purpose for me?

Enter into the joy of the Lord and receive the Holy Spirit.
