Matthew 27:1-7Judas is seized with remorse after betraying Jesus because of his (Judas') unmet expectations. You will be disappointed in your expectations, at some point. Take care, then, how you respond - do not give the devil a foothold.
God Calls God Equips and God Provides.Daniel 2:44Exodus 12:35-36Ephesians 1:31 Corinthians 2:9Matthew 6:33
The first part in the series from the gospel of Matthew.A full understanding of who God is revolutionises our response to Him and therefore our values and behavior.
Isaiah 40 - whole chapter,but especially vs 31 andfocus on the word Hope in the Lord or Wait on the LordAlsoActs 1:4 - the word wait again.In Hebrew and Greek the word translated wait (or hope) is an active word.We should wait on God in 2 ways - as a good waiter tends to the diner in a restaurant and as an athlete on the starting block after "take your marks, get set"...As we wait for God we should be waiting like that athlete waits for the starting gun or buzzerTHEN will we rise up on wings like eagles, then will we run and not grow weary.
A few testimonies of God at work in the lives of various of our members
Please forgive the sound quality on the first minute and last 9 minutes - we had a recording problem so had to splice in plan 'B'!
The church (global) will have missed a golden opportunity if we just "go back to normal" after the virus.The world needs hope and solutions and we can supply them with God's answers - if we choose.4 POINTS to help us maximize our effectiveness:1. Grasp and cling to the sovereignty of God2. Stay flexible and open to the Holy Spirit - "seek the wind"3. Church is not a church if there are no people in it - it is more than meetings, important as those are4. Return the domain of prophecy to those who are hearing and obeying God - resist supporting/ endorsing the 'nuts and flakes' of the prophetic realm.
God die vader het alles beplan, Jesus het die plan aan ons geopenbaar en die Heilige Gees bemagtig ons om daardie doel uit te leef
Why do we need the Holy Spirit, what is His purpose?The God-head is 3 in one. God the father planned everything, Jesus revealed the plan to us and the Holy Spirit empowers us to live out that purpose
God will not pour His new wine (the new thing he wants to do) into or through your life unless you are prepared to renew your wineskin.Do not build a "tablenacle" (do not take up residence) where God moved in the past.Look for the new thing He is doing in the new way.
What happens when we die?When will we die?What, then should be our response?What is preventing you from the correct response?
Are you taking God's message and warning to the world or are you being silent?There is an expectation and duty to faithfully transmit God's message.
It is time for the church - and especially the leaders in the church, to find and express their voice so that the world may know and not be consumed by fear
Hundreds of times, in the Bible, we are instructed or encouraged to "fear not".Mostly because God is with us.Live your life according to that truth.The instruction / idea is not that you will never experience fear, but rather that you do not act out of that fear, but rather recognize it, reject it and replace it with the Truth that God is in control and He loves us - then proceed accordingly.
How do I hear from God? 5 points to follow over next few Sundays
Do you take a look in the spiritual mirror? If you do what do you see? Jesus or someone-something else?Is the Holy spirit driving your life, a passenger, a spare wheel or a piece of luggage?
Afrikaans translation of the 3rd part of our new series "terug na die beginsels"
Combine the inner sanctum (an active and faithful prayer life) and a firm grounding in The Word (keeping it on your lips and at the front of your mind) will help you navigate through life far more safely.
Prayer in the private place gets you close to God and this will bring the victory that should mark a Christian life
