It's good to remind ourselves of the true unchangable, undiluted gospel of Jesus Christ! And then it's good to compare that to what we may have allowed to crowd our beliefs, to distort our view of Him and what he has done for us, because that then blurs and dulls the mirror and stops God being reflected in us.

As we start 2015 as a church we will look at the book of Galatians, being reminded of the purity of the Gospel and the necessity of the Gospel to our daily transformation. Imagine life without the life-blood of the gospel.....; imagine our community without the church wanting to see the gospel out-worked in it.

Praying becomes more effective and essential when we understand more about who we are praying to! It also puts our prayers and the answers into perspective.

Kingdom Culture Is Supernatural; the Gospel, our salvation, faith, prayer, our walk with God on a daily basis as Christians - all are as a result of the supernatural work of God.

God's Kingdom involves adventure! Adventure can be exciting and difficult - but he has promised to be with us throughout. How do we know what our adventure is?

It's a Kingdom Purpse that we grow - personally, corporately and numerically as a church and as churches locally, nationally and across the world. But is occurs one person at a time..........it starts with ourselves....and there's a process.

"For God so loved.....that he gave.......God modelled generosity. We are made in God's image! God loves to see us stretch our faith and be generous in our giving, not just of our money but of our time and talents too! Everything we have is Gods - to be used for the Kingdom, for his Glory! How are you doing in this?

Jesus gave us the best example of this! As we look at the 2 book that Luke wrote in the Bible we see him laying out the example of Jesus in his gospel and then in Acts he encourages us to go and do as Jesus did!

Unlike the Old Testament times when people lived in a blessing and curses age, we now live in a "what can I grab for myself - what does this mean for me" era. But living by kingdom purposes means we put Jesus upfront and central , not ourselves! What would this world look like if we did this?

Jesus call us to be a radical, life-changing, fruitful people! We are the most essential part of the gospel message - the people! Going and sharing our story!
