What if life was not about the breakthrough?

What if life was about being faithful and close to the one who brings the breakthrough?

Zechariah and Elizabeth were seen as righteous in the eyes of the Lord and they had nothing to show for it. They could not have kids and had reached an old age when out of nowhere the angel Gabriel shows up and shares God's plan with Zechariah. He doubts the plan and “drops the ball” but God goes ahead despite his disbelief in that moment.

Matt unpacks how sometimes we can be faithful and faithless at the same time. Our Christian walk can sometimes feel like it is in “auto-pilot” or “cruise control” but while we are faithful in attending we don’t see breakthrough. God is bigger than our doubt even if we doubt in the midst of obedience.

What if living a Spirit Filled life not just about going to church but rather a living life that exhibits healthy habits because of the Holy Spirit in us?

In this message, Matt unpacks 6 habits of a Spirit-Filled life. Paul is championing the believers in the church in Galatia to restore people with gentleness, to carry each others burdens, to be at peace with itself because Jesus is at the centre, to be accountable to others, to see Heaven invade earth and to build good community.

In summary…

A spirit filled live restores.

A spirit filled life carries others

A spirit filled life is at peace with itself

A spirit-filled life is accountable

A spirit filled life sees heaven invade earth.

A spirit filled life builds community

📖Galatians 6:1-10

In the garden, God speaks identity over the newly created humans by speaking over them who they are and what they will do.

Putty unpacks the important subject of identity and how in order to walk into the new identity Jesus gives us, we have to die on the cross with him.

When Jesus commissions his disciples to go and change the world, he does not leave them to do it alone. He sends Holy Spirit to empower them for the mission.

This message will remind you that the work of the Holy Spirit is vital to our walk as followers of Jesus. He has not given us a "hospital pass"; He has empowered us to do the work He has called us to do.

The Spirit-Filled Life is Love in Action. A life filled with the Holy Spirit means keeping love is central and loving our neighbour, especially the untouchable, the unlovable, the shunned, and the marginalised.

The Holy Spirit's work in our is both Inward Transformation and Outward Mission. On one side of the coin is inward work, producing the beautiful "fruit of the Spirit" such as love, joy, peace, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23), confirming we are children of God (Romans 8:16), and reminding us that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). On the other side of the coin is His outward mission of Matthew 28, which is to move as a people of his presence, with the power and authority of the Holy Spirit.

*If we’re not doing the basics, then it’s unlikely we’ll do the expectational*

Developing a generous heart does not come naturally, it is something we cultivate as we walk with Jesus. This message explores three core elements required for cultivating generosity; our ability to give, our willingness to do so, and the joy we find in the act.

“Sowing and reaping” is a Kingdom practice that cultivates generosity in our everyday lives and Brett unpacks how this practice in the bible is a genuine expression of God’s Kingdom breaking into our reality!

To Cultivate generosity, ask these questions...

· Do I want to give? Why?

· How much can I give, and can I trust God in it all?

And take these steps..

· Seed with expectation that God keeps His promises.

· Be expectant.
