We are empowered with a witness that overcomes and transforms this world! But quite often we our witnesses to an age of cynicism and Cancel Culture which looks to pull down another, see only the negative, question everything…  and so we lose the wonder.

We see in the book of Acts followers of Jesus voices were empowered when filled with the Spirit! Our voices are the most power weapon given to us. Our voices are given authority by assignment. As we focus on the assignment given to us, authority is given to empower our voices.

The power we receive with the Holy Spirit, is a power to see signs, wonders, and miracles, but it is also power to transform us. When we stir the Holy Spirit in us, we are changed. The power gives us the strength that to walk out every day and be who the world around us needs. We already have all that we need, but we must be stirred up regularly. 

Acts 1:8 is our scripture verse for this series "A People Empowered". It says we will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. The Holy Spirit is a long awaited gift and more than ever the church needs to show that power to the world! One of the first steps to acting in power is how do you receive it? How do you receive a gift?

We are faced on daily bases by community killers - Busyness, Isolation, Fear & Shame, Inward Focus. There is power in community that can transform us and our world, John looks how we overcome community killers and the fruit we will see in community. 

Suffering is an integral part to our transformation into Christ Likeness (Rom 8:17, Roman 8:28-29 1 Peter 6:7) which is a far cry from the western narrative of the only pursuit of happiness. Equally we were never called to suffer alone. How do we let suffering do its work to see us thrive? 

In these chaotic moments of life where the world seems to fall apart, our identity as Christians comes alive. We are the living hope for this world! Will you act in it or move with the world?

Have you ever felt a wrestling inside yourself of who am I? Or am I who I am meant to be? Most of us feel this battle of inside of us, a battle of false self & true self. Looking at the story of Peter we see Jesus desires in community for us to discover our authentic selves. Enjoy this message as Pastor Jonny pulls out Jesus heart for an authentic community. 

Ground zero to Following Jesus In Community is, what is Jesus' view of community? What does he think its suppose to be? Jesus was not only offensive in His teaching but also by who he called community, family...

What was so radical about it and why should it matter to us?

This past Sunday Pastor Jonny laid out the vision for Point View Church and God heart for the house.
