Real Life Church: God is the God of the Bible

Freedom comes from adoption - being adopted into the family of God. When you have been adopted you are not a slave to anything or anyone! The Spirit of adoption is a spirit of gratitude.

Expecting great things from God for a purpose. God never intended us to do His work in our strength or in our ability. God will never require from us what He has not first provided for us. So expect great things from God and to attempt great things for God.

When we expect little things then we get little things but God want us to expect big things from him. Expect great things from God and to attempt great things for God. Growing expectation (faith) in our church is vital to its growth and success. Faith always involves action and risk. Jesus never rebuked anyone for having too great a faith. Expect Big things Do Big things.

The greatest threat to our faith life is fear and its many byproducts. Fear is one thing but Caution is another. Fear is a product of sin and Caution is a product of wisdom. Jesus did everything with confidence and not fear. Confidence produces boldness and condemnation produces timidity (fear). 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us "For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline."

The life of God is the answer for every one of man's pains, sicknesses and sins. Each and everyone of us has a mandate, a commission to preach the message of this life.

Christ came that we may have life, and have it abundantly according to John 10:10. Life produces abundance, BUT abundance alone is no proof of life. We produce abundance by obeying Truth.

Genesis 2:7 (NASB) Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Man was energized, made alive by the very life of God. Jesus came to impart life and He came that we may have life, and have life abundantly. 

Christianity is more than the forgiveness of sins- it's really about a new kind of life. The biological world is split into six kingdoms which is used to classify life forms. Each kingdom is comprised of like life forms. The manner of life flowing through the host determines which kingdom it is a part of. God declared that every kind would produce after its own kind.

It has always been about loving God enough to trust Him and trusting Him enough to obey Him. To experience God's supernatural support we must Assume the Position. Those who refuse to Assume the Position will never experience the Supernatural power of the Eternal God.

A calling in Biblical terms has to do with an appointment to a position or a task. A calling gives a life purpose, intentionality and focus. Also a calling requires discipline, perseverance, separation and preparation.
