The exciting miracle in John 6 of Jesus feeding the 5,000 shows us that God is a God of abundance and overflow. John 6:12  says they were full and there were left overs.

In this miracle, a boy offered five small barley loaves and two small fish.
God only requires what you have, not what you don’t have.
God will multiply it. A little bit in God’s hands becomes much: much wisdom, much strength, much will power, much resources. We are to use what we have.

It took faith to keep reaching into the basket for more bread and fish.
It took hunger to keep it going. As long as they were hungry, the food kept multiplying.
 
Our faith and our hunger make a demand on the power of God.
The glory and power is his, the hunger is ours.
How hungry are you?

In Acts 1:8 Jesus said: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
In this message, Pastor Max reminds us about the power we've already received to be witnesses for Jesus.
You have power so you can be a witness of Jesus wherever you go. The power is not just to feel good or show off. It's for our mission to testify the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. When people see you, they see Jesus.

The Apostle Paul said we are to put off the old person and put on the new person created in God’s image. (Ephesians 4:22-24)
The early church was a Spirit-filled church and a power-filled church. But they took their gifts out to the world. This is what God wants us to do in our everyday lives. Take the power of Holy Spirit wherever we go: to work, to the grocery store, to school, to our family, to our friends. Put it on and wear this power of God as you go out in the world.

Have you ever felt unworthy before God?
God wants you to change the way you think. Christ has made you worthy. You need to go through a revolution in your thinking. 
Think ‘unlimited potential’ because God has removed your old way of thinking. It is what God says it is.
God knows where you live and he knows how to get you where he wants you.
The only thing that holds you back is ‘stinking thinking’.

God wants us to excel in the grace of giving.
When we give to Him first he meets all our needs and gives us plenty left over to give others. Generous givers always have more.
2 Corinthians 9:8-9: “And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.”
God gives us seed to sow through the work of our hands using the gifts He has given us.

In this message Pastor Max encourages us to live and to serve with #excellence. God has given us special abilities and gifts to do His will and serve one another. God’s gifts come to us by grace but we have to manage them. We need to recognize our #gifts and use them for the good of others.
 
Let God’s Word frame what you think and do. Use your unique gift at church, at home and at work for the good of others. And whatever you do, do it with excellence. Let your life brings glory to God.

Acts 2 tells us what the local church should look like: this is the Church that Jesus is building. We call this the Church of Our Dreams.
Jesus  wants us to be part of God’s plan where local churches are reaching the lost and equipping the saints. He wants us to be excited and ready for people to get saved every Sunday.  Come and be a part of it.

We have learned that God has placed eternity in our hearts and made each of us with different abilities. We discover our purpose by identifying our passions. 
 
In "How to fulfill your purpose" Pastor Max shows us the steps we need to take to fulfill our purpose. God is pulling you to your future but it's not automatic. If you feel you’re not in the middle of God’s purpose for you, its time to take action.

In part 3 of the “purpose” series, Pastor Max teaches how you can discover your purpose. One important indication is your passion: what are you passionate about? What do you want to do that you wish you could do all the time? When the way God made you converges with your passion, you touch the eternity that God has placed in your heart (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

Is it important to understand your purpose in life and live passionately? Philippians 3:12-16 gives us precious insight into Paul’s thinking and reveals the passion and motivation of his heart.
In this teaching, pastor Max explains why it’s important to understand your God-given #purpose in life. You want to live a fulfilling life, be the blessing you were meant to be and at the end hear the Master say “well done, good and faithful servant”.
