God's miracles are ours for today but we need to play our part too, as we co-labour with God by releasing our faith. Our faith is a key ingredient to seeing the supernatural manifest in our lives.

The two keys to the Miracle of the five loaves was first and foremost Jesus being moved with compassion, and secondly the willingness of a young lad to surrender his lunch. God's greatest moves begin when we too surrender what is in our hands.

God's not looking for the mighty, He's looking for the willing! In this world we are faced with different dimensions: the spiritual and the natural, and although we are all faced with limitations in life, God's Spirit empowers us to live. Looking at examples throughout the Word, God is not put off by weaknesses, but rather brings the "super" into our natural world as we yield to Him. 

Thoughout this message are some amazing testimonies of what God has done in people's lives, at times in significant ways and at other times in seemingly-less spectacular yet just as important ways. Any move of God IS a move of God and we are grateful for His engagement in every area of our lives.

As followers of Jesus we are called to be salt and light to the world. Salt cannot lose it's saltiness but can be affected by dilution or contamination. We are to be selective of the company we keep, as well as eradicate any compromise in our lives. The way we live matters, along with the ability to share our testimonies well.

Throughout this message we are encouraged to take responsibility for our own Jerusalem by recognising our mission field as the people who we interact with on a daily basis. We need to be intentional about reaching our world by 1) accepting the Great Commission 2) identifying those in our Jerusalem and 3) to be praying persistently in line with God's Word and will.

As ambassadors of Christ our lives are to align with ambassadorial principles and values: appointed by the King, called to represent the King and His Kingdom, committed to the state (Kingdom of God) and speak the governmental (Kingdom) position on all matters. Our lives are to be aligned with what the Kingdom says especially to those closest to us. 

As children of God, and members of His household, we have a responsibility (our response to an ability God has given to us)  to daily live a lifestyle of evangelism, and point others to Jesus. We are called to partner with God and to co-labour with Him in the Great Co-Mission. Much like Peter, John, Philip and Nathanael who were invited to "Come and See", our ONE which is defined as "Outreach Never Ends"  matters greatly!

The Power of the Cross is not to be held as a romantic notion or a religious icon, but rather as a reminder of what Jesus's death, burial and resurrection bought for us. The seed which fell to the ground, died and produced much grain in John 12 is an analogy of of Jesus producing after His own kind. We too are called to be disciples who make disciples by proclaiming the message and power of the cross in our world.

There is no more important time in the life of the Believer than Easter, when we look to the Cross of Jesus.

Whilst filled with gratitude for the Cross, we are not to be fixated with it as an object, but rather to focus on the achievement of it, and the incredible statement God made through it.

He loves you and demonstrates it in the most extreme fashion. Now we are to live in what it achieved for us, and in this Easter message we begin to open up some of the rights Jesus died to buy us, and that we – like the children of Israel who were to go into their Promised Land ‘and possess it’, we too will have to possess our blood-bought rights.
