We have been going through a series on Hebrews 6 where we find the foundations of Christian life. This week Josiah shared on the doctrines talking through the meaning and significance of water baptism in our faith. 

We have started a series on Hebrews 6 going through the foundations of Christian life and this week Rory led us in a powerful message on faith.

If repentance is opening the door then faith is stepping through the door.

Josiah leads us through the key foundations to our faith and the Kingdom found in Hebrews chapter 6. It is important that we understand the purpose of doctrine is to know God, if we only memorise it we will miss out on Him.

1. Intimacy with God

2. Everything will be shaken

3. The great falling away

4. Discernment

5. The great harvest

6. Maturity in Christ

7. Finishing well

The enemy is trying to allure the people of God into the worlds system, with war and rumours of war all around. Although, Jesus has prewarned us of this end-times reality, and He says He who endures till the end will be saved.

1 Cor 10 He will not lead you into a situation He has not provided a way out for

Everything that can be shaken will be shaken, so that your only source will be Jesus.

Jesus is calling us into deeper relationship with Himself, standing at the door of our hearts holding the key to more for our lives.

Will we pay the cost of seeking Him, of waiting on Him?

Jesus says in Rev 3:20

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

This week Jonah brings a word on responding and yielding to His spirit, to be sensitive to what He wants to do.

First, we experience God's glory in an increased measure, second, we have an opportunity to respond to it and thirdly He responds to our response.

This week our church goes into a fast to seek Him and build a spiritual hunger in our hearts.

This is a time to take note of God moving in the world and strengthen yourselves in Him.

Far be it form us that we stay silent and not respond to what He is doing.

Perhaps God is saying wake up and be ready to share the good news of Jesus.

There is a richness of God's glory in you

Ephesians 1:17-18 - That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints

Your destiny is to abide in Him and be His inheritance.

And 

He has good works for you to do

Luke 19:41 Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they weren't responding to Jesus and they missed out on the day of His visitation.

May we not miss the day of His visitation, when He moves in our midst

If it’s a still small voice may we be sensitive to hear Him and move with His leading.

This week we had the pleasure of having Jen Miskof come from Bethel as she starts a large ministry trip in Australia.

Jen came to reignite our love for Him and encourage us in what God has called us to do.

When we are on fire for God we aren't swayed by the things of the world, of doubt or distraction.

Born to worship and bring glory to God.

Revival is reigniting love for Jesus

This week we had baby dedications and Josiah shared a short word beforehand on offering our children the victory of Christ crucified. God gives us wisdom over our enemies, rest and peace and victory through Himself.

That we can do all things through Him.

Do we live from the victory of the cross? As we need to be living this to pass it down to our children.
