A man who has friends, must himself be friendly - relationships are vital for health and happiness.

We should compare in order to give glory to God and copy the faith of others, but never to boast in ourselves or criticise others.

It is the power of God working within us that enables us to do God's will.

Our underlying, and unconscious beliefs and assumptions affect our lives greatly. These wrong beliefs that cause pain and shame can only be healed and corrected by God’s Heavenly Spark.

The Heavenly Spark is a forward-looking spark that gives hope, vision, and power and looks ahead and outward to His purpose and promises for you, rather than focusing on yourself, your past, or your weaknesses.

It's very important to ascertain why we do things. Looking at our internal motivations, the Bible contrasts “Faith, Hope, and Love” with “Fear, Despair and Selfishness”

It is important to discover why we do things - being motivated and led by the Holy Spirit brings victory and life.

Discovering WHY we do things helps us to relate to God correctly, to deal with other people correctly, and to be at peace in our lives.

Today's Church differs significantly from the New Testament Church, and we need to understand the Biblical model: a combination of both large and small gatherings.

As a human body is made up of both large, visible parts and small essential systems, the Church needs both "big" and "small" expressions - both large and small gatherings are vital for healthy Church life.
