This week we will be looking at the sermon by Ps Louis entitled, ‘When God Gives You More Than You Can Handle.’
Focus scripture: Ephesians 3:14-20
Here are 3 points to help us navigate Kingdom life to effectively and productively advance the Kingdom.
HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU (Galatians 4:19)
The Holy Spirit resides in us for our sake so that we can be led by the spirit, hear the voice of God, live under conviction and be directed. The Spirit teaches us all things. This is also to shape and form our character to be Christlike.
HOLY SPIRIT ON YOU (Luke 10:19)
Holy Spirit comes upon us to release us with power and authority so that we can do what God has called us to do. This is not dependent on people’s character. The disciples operated in the power of God long before their characters were sorted out.
HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH YOU (Ephesians 2:10)
If we would desire and expect it God will release power through us. This is not just for our benefit but for the benefit of others. The power is not based on our character, therefore it is important to not judge the power of God on someone based on their character. Rather, have grace for them and receive from them because God uses all kinds of people to release his power.
DISCUSSION
Which of these three points do I need to work on for God to use me?
Has there been a time when I have judged someone else, or myself, and therefore not received the power or authority that God put on them?

Who Do You Say I Am?
April 28, 2024 • Louis Els Jr
Ps Louis shared from Matthew 21, the story of the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, and highlighted several parallels that are so relevant for us as a church. There are questions asked of the crowd, questions that each of us needs to answer in our hearts. Questions about who we believe deep down in our hearts Jesus truly is. Jesus asked the question to Peter: ‘Who am I? How would you answer this question?
Living a Consecrated Life
April 21, 2024 • Craig Galloway
Consecration often sounds like a heavy subject, but it's not meant to be. In truth, it is something we choose to seek out, and it brings us great joy and life. It is a beautiful joy to be faithful and true to our covenant with God (much like it is a great joy to be true and faithful to our spouse). Craig Galloway explores what it really means to choose to have a consecrated heart and the beautiful journey it is.
Love for the Nations
April 14, 2024 • Edwin Fillies
What is unique in the Christian biblical worldview is that God chooses to work with us and through us, rather than do everything himself. God wants the joy of doing it in partnership with us. Ps Edwin explores what is our part in this? How do we partner with God to advance his kingdom here on earth?
