John 5:1-17

Pastor Steve spoke about going to the next level in our walk and things that might stop us. Here are some questions to ask yourself...

1: Do I want to?

2: Who am I blaming?

3: What action is God calling me to do?

Following on from last week's message Pastor Steve talks about how sometimes our God-given assignment can be stolen. Things get in the way, we get distracted (sometimes even by our own goals),or we will try to do someone else's assignment.

We have each been given an assignment.

Do you know what your assignment is? Sometimes we forget what it is.

Pastor Steve takes us through what our assignment is and and why we have one.

We have a concept of who we should be, often comparing ourselves to other Christians. If we compare ourselves to others we lose who we are meant to be. What does God say we should be? Romans 12:1+2

Luke 5:37-39 New Wine Skins

A Word for Kalamunda Church - God has new wine to pour out but we need to be new wineskins so that we are able to hold the wine. WE need to take off the old to put on the new - sometimes we like to preserve the old as it's more comfortable but God says to forget the former things - don;t dwell/camp there. Don;t let the past become a blockage for what he wants to do in us today.

We need to create a margin/space in our lives. To de-clutter. To leave room in the "outer courts" of our lives for Jesus to move in the lives of those around us.

We spend a lot of time on our "wrapping" - making it look good.

But we are not our wrapping. It's not the whole you.

We are all being programmed - our heart is our hard drive.

What we behold is what we become.

But Psalm 46:10 tells us to CEASE striving - BE STILL and know that He is God.

John 4:26-45

We (people) often are more worried about their physical diet rather than their spiritual diet. Instead of looking for "fast food/instant food" - lets step into Him to be energised.

Geoff shared his word from Gen 21:14-18.

When we submit to God he opens our eyes
