“What a serene and quiet life might you lead if you would leave providing to the god of providence! With a little oil in the cruse, and a handful of meal in the barrel, Elijah outlived the famine, and you will do the same. If God cares for you, why need you care to? Can you trust Him for your soul and not for your body? He has never refused to bear your burdens, He has never fainted under their weight. Come, Then, soul! Have done with fretful care, and leave all thy concerns in the hands of a gracious God”

Ezek 36: 26-27

Heb 12:24

Living Love (Part 1)

Rom 12:2

Cornerstones of a Biblical worldview: An orthodox, biblical understanding of God. All human beings are sinful by nature; every choice we make has moral considerations and consequences. Knowing Jesus Christ is the only means to salvation, through our confession of sin and reliance on His forgiveness. The entire Bible is true, reliable, and relevant, making it the best moral guide for every person, in all situations. Absolute moral truth exists—and those truths are defined by God, described in the Bible, and are unchanging across time and cultures. The ultimate purpose of human life is to know, love, and serve God with all your heart, mind, strength, and soul. Success on earth is best understood as consistent obedience to God—in thoughts, words, and actions.

The Way I See It (Developing a stable, Biblical worldview)

The Way I See It (Developing a stable, Biblical worldview) Today will be our introduction week - so lots of scripture. Genesis 1 all John 1:1-5 Rev 22:12-14, 17, 20 “Biblical principles require more than casual assent. The Worldview research indicates that an individual must have both an understanding of the principles and a passionate, thoughtful ownership of them in order to build a Biblical worldview” Barna Group “When one creates truth, truth becomes a fabrication and ceases to be truth” Jonathan Cahn “Since worldview is our decision-making filter, a person who has a weak foundation will be characterized by a life that is a constant struggle” Barna Group. 7 Core Worldviews Materialism Pantheism Deism Existentialism Nihilism Postmodernism Theism DRIFT D - disappointment & disillusionment R - relationships I - information F - faith T - time Rom 12:2

Calling The Unqualified

Pastor Paul and the team of men who served on the missions trip to Kenya, Africa share about how God did the impossible as they committed to helping the community there and partnering with the heart of God to bless them. They share their personal experiences of how true Jesus' words are when He said, "it is more blessed to give then to receive."

The Path Of Purpose

Ps 139:16 Ps 23:1-3 Ps 57:2 Acts 2:14-16,38-47 1) Peter’s first encounter with Jesus Jn 1:35-37, 40-42 Purpose and destiny do not start with “What am I supposed to DO?” - They start with “Who do you say I AM?” 2) Peter’s second encounter with Jesus Mt 4:18-20 “Peter was not called to be an evangelist before he was called to be a follower….You must first be called yourselves into Christ before you may dare to even so much think about being called into ministry or into the service of Christ. You cannot serve Him until first of all you have learned to sit at His feet. Before you serve God you must have a new heart and a right spirit” Charles Spurgeon 3) Peter’s third encounter with Jesus Luke 5:1-11 4) Peter’s BIG encounter with Jesus Mt 16:13-19 5) Peter’s big learning curve Mt 16:21-23 Luke 22:31-32 Acts 4:13

Stewarding Heaven's Resources

Prophetic Word 2025: STEWARDING Heaven's Resources | Pastor George Sarkodie Jesus tells a parable to teach us about STEWARDING what GOD put in us and the accountability that comes with what heaven has entrusted to us in this life. In this prophetic message from Pastor George Sarkodie, and exhortation starting into 2025, God is calling us to faithful stewardship of heaven's resources, of faith, hope, love, forgiveness, and even how to be a master of mammon, an not be mastered BY mammon. Jesus instructed us to USE our mammon to "make friends for ourselves," for eternity. When we are faithful or Unfaithful with the things of THIS WORLD which will all be taken away from us at the end of our stewardship, and at the end of our natural lives, we will stand before God and give account either way. God wants to EMPOWER us through this prophetic word for 2025 to grow in our capacity as stewards of heavenly resources, and to multiply the talent that has been entrusted to us to bring glory to the name of God and the name of His Son, Jesus Christ.
