Jesus Christ is the focus! He is the source of authentic spiritual life! He is the source of authentic spiritual life! He is the source of a true relationship with God! He is the way to be connected to God! He is the way to experience a fulfilled, abundant and fruitful life!

Isaiah is telling us here in Isaiah chapter 40 that God is bigger than anything we can imagine. He knows everything! He has all power! He is everywhere! He has no equal! He has infinite resources! He can do anything He wills to do!

Everyone is on a spiritual journey! Some of us realise it! Some of us don't even know it! But every person is on a spiritual journey! And Jesus used parables to speak to people wherever they might be in their journey to move them to take the next step!

Everybody here is on a spiritual journey. So whether you would identify yourself as someone who is already a Christ follower, someone who is in the process of becoming a Christ follower, or someone who is not a Christ follower at all. Your heart is soil into which the seed of God's message is being sown.

Believers are secure in their salvation because of the unconditional love of God!

The scripture says this is 1 Peter 3: "Sanctify Christ as lord in your hearts. Always being ready to make a defense to anyone who asks you to give an account of the hope that's in you". If you are here and commited, people are going to be asking you these questions. So I am hoping to give you some information that will equip you to be able to answer questions.

God has designed us so that we are part of a team and we make a unique contribution for the team. So the question is this; how do I connect with and complement others to make the body complete? What's my contribution for the team?

First and foremost is my relationship with Jesus Christ. And have I surrendered my whole life to Jesus Christ? That's a personal question everyone of us needs to ask ourselves. Have we offered our whole life to God as an act of worship?

And when you find where it is that God has really called you; you're the best steward, you're the best administrator, you're the best manager of what God has given you! And you make your best contribution to something that is bigger than yourself; the eternal kingdom of Jesus Christ!

In Ephesians chapter 1:11 it says, "One day, God is going to sum everything up in Jesus Christ"!
