When God Gives You More Than You Can Handle

October 16, 2022 • Louis Els

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?

Created for Connection

In the final session of The Rising: A Relationship Renaissance, Marilyn challenged us to think about the ways we love and connect with others. We are created for deep, meaningful relationships with our heavenly Father and the people around us. Let’s face it, human connection can be a rollercoaster because of the messiness of our world. Marilyn gives practical insights into what builds bad connections and the secrets to forging uplifting, enduring relationships. Get ready to transform your connections!

The Result of Encounters

September 1, 2024 • Ps. Louis Els

When we worship corporately we often say things like: ‘Wow wasn’t there such a presence?’ It is important to remember that the presence represents a person, not a goosebump feeling or emotional state. God wants you to know He is with you, not just a feeling of peace or joy. Ps Louis explores the result of encounters with the presence, person, and word of God and how it causes a shift that changes how we live.

Encountering God through His Word

August 25, 2024 • Ps. Louis Els

How often do you hear, read or in any way interact with the Word of God? Do you feel it's enough, too much, or too little? We learn in Genesis 1 already that the God we serve is a speaking God. When God speaks it is not just for conversation, but also creation. He speaks things into existence. His Word shapes and brings order to creation and also to our lives - even the smallest details!
