A First Love Fire
Watch this message HERE: http://beyondchurch.org.au/youtubesubscription
Our family loves to have backyard fires in our fire pit. There is a price to pay to enjoy a backyard fire. The smoke gets on and in you, making you smell like smoke for days. But despite the lingering smell, the memories created around the fire are priceless.
In the Gospel of John, we encounter a significant event involving fire and Peter. In John 18:15-18 and 18:25-27, Peter denies being a disciple of Jesus three times while warming himself by a fire. The details of this event are significant, as they highlight the power of the aural tradition and draw our attention to the impact of this moment.
Fast forward to John 21:9, just three chapters later, and we see Jesus bring Peter back to the fire. The smell of the fire from that fateful night lingers, reminding Peter of his failure, shame, and regret. But Jesus has a different purpose in mind. He wants to reshape Peter's past and recast his destiny.
Jesus takes the fire itself, the very symbol of Peter's betrayal, and turns it into an agent of redemption. He wants to do the same in our lives, taking the brokenness, hurt, and drifting passion for Him, and using them to show us that we can find forgiveness and freedom from shame, guilt, bitterness, and humiliation. Jesus redeems our past, and nothing is wasted. He also reveals a fresh vision for our future.
To step into our own fireplace encounter with Jesus, there are three key steps we can take:
- Dive In:
Live your life with a bias toward action, especially when it comes to pursuing an encounter with Jesus. Like Peter, when he recognised the Lord, put on his tunic, jumped into the water, and headed to shore, we must have a hunger and eagerness for encountering Jesus. We need to dive into a new season of passionately pursuing the things of God.
- Devour Our Breakfast:
Jesus wants to feed us, not only physically but also spiritually. He wants to fuel us for His purposes. Spending time with Jesus, both personally and corporately, is essential. We need to have private and personal daily time with Jesus, reading and studying the Bible. We also need to engage in corporate gatherings such as life groups and church services, where we can learn from and be sharpened by fellow believers.
- Deal With Our Demons:
Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved Him, addressing the three times Peter denied Him. Jesus needed to deal with Peter's demons, leaving no stone unturned in the process of complete redemption. Sometimes facing our demons and finding healing can be painful, but Jesus, in His kindness, offers it to us anyway. He calls us to the fire to face our doubts and insecurities and find healing and restoration.
Now, let's reflect on these truths and consider the following questions:
-
How can you live your life with a bias toward action, diving into a new season of passionately pursuing the things of God? Share a time when you pursued an encounter with Jesus with eagerness.
-
Why do you think Jesus used the fire as a means of redemption for Peter, despite the association of the fire with Peter's betrayal and shame?
-
Facing our demons and finding healing can be a challenging process. Are you willing to face your own demons and allow Jesus to bring complete redemption in your life? Why or why not?
Take some time to reflect on these questions, discuss them with others, and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit as you pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus and embrace the fire of His redemption in your life.

Key Verse:
2 Corinthians 5:17-18 NLT
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him
Key Thought:
Jesus models for us what it is to be a GO + TELL kind of person.
All of the following verses demonstrate that Jesus was famous for using GENEROUS HOSPITALITY as a way to meet people and invite them into moments that transformed their lives.
John 2:2-3 TPT - Jesus’ first miracle, where He turns water into wine. Luke 7:34 TPT, Mark 2:25-16 MSG - Jesus’ reputation as a man who loved to eat with social outcasts. Matthew 15:37-38 TPT - Jesus feeds a multitude. Luke 14:1 TPT - Jesus’ teaches at the table. Luke 22:14-16 TPT - The last thing Jesus wanted to do with his followers before being crucified, was to eat with them.. Luke 24:30-31 TPTP, John 21:12 MSG, Luke 24:41-43 TPT - Jesus verifies his deity with food. Romans 16:1 MSG - The Jesus way is generous hospitality
“In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus is either going to a meal, at a meal or coming from a meal.” - Robert Charis, New Testament Scholar
The Jesus Model for reaching people can be broken down into 4 steps:
- Jesus MEETS
Jesus met people right where they were, both geographically and socially. Jesus changed the world one conversation at a time. We shouldn’t underestimate the power of simply turning up…to church, to life group and being PRESENT with the people God has placed in our world.
“Your presence does more to change the world than your tweets ever will.”
- Jesus EATS
Gathering around a table together is the great leveller, and Jesus knew this. From tax collectors, priests, prostitutes, and the poor, Jesus ate and drank with them all! The table elevates the poor and humbles the proud.
- Jesus SPEAKS
Jesus didn’t waste his words, He spoke the truth. John 8:31 -32 NLT Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
People are looking to find freedom in their lives and this kind of freedom only comes from knowing the truth. If we withhold TRUTH, we withhold freedom and the TRUTH is a person. John 14:6 TPT Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me.
- Jesus ASKS
Jesus was always inviting people into powerful moments of transformation. He left nothing ambiguous or uncertain. Today He is still clearly asking us to embark upon the task of reconciling people to Him.
Discussion Questions:
- Your presence does more to change the world than your tweets ever will. Jesus changed the world one conversation at a time. Can you remember a conversation with someone that deeply moved, inspired, or challenged you? What was it about that conversations that made it so memorable?
- The table elevates the poor and humbles the proud. What do you think it was about the gathering around a meal that had such a powerful impact on those at the table with Jesus? Why do you think Jesus used these meals to communicate so much of his message?
- The truth is a person. Jesus was very clear about that a life lived with Him was a life of salvation and freedom. If we know that this truth will set people free, why do we often find it difficult to share this truth with others?
- How could we use Jesus’ model of reaching others, through generous hospitality, to speak the truth of the gospel to someone this week?

Key Thought: Jesus tells many stories in the book of Matthew to illustrate what the Kingdom of Heaven, or the Above and Beyond Kingdom, is like. In the parable of the talents, he shows us that his kingdom is all about MULTIPLICATION (A+B=X or the Above and Beyond kingdom is about Multiplication).
This story is a symbol of our relationship with Jesus and how we are meant to represent his kingdom while we are still on earth. He ENTRUSTS the wealth of his kingdom to us and EXPECTS us to multiply the investment he has made into us, through the gifts and talents he has given to us, the relationships and influence he has blessed us with, AND through the invaluable gift of salvation which has given us the opportunity to dwell with him in his kingdom for eternity.
HOW do we MULTIPLY the Above and Beyond kingdom on earth? And how do we multiply what God has already invested into us?
-
Trust God
-
Put the investment to work (and keep trusting God)
-
Be prepared to wait for the return (and keep trusting God)
Before answering these questions, refamiliarize yourself with this story by reading Matthew 25:14-30 in The Passion Translation.
Discussion Questions:
-
This story shows us that God has “entrusted” us with the wealth of his kingdom. What has been entrusted to you (relationships, gifts, talents) which you could begin to see as God’s investment into you for the purpose of multiplying his kingdom here on earth?
-
“What we worry about most tends to reveal where we trust God the least”. In what areas do you need to grow in your trust of God? What are some practical ways you can grow your trust in these areas?
-
While we have access to supernatural power when we belong to the Above and Beyond kingdom, or kingdom of heaven, we are still expected to do the work that is required to MULTIPLY what God has invested into us. What are some practical ways you can begin to do the work to grow and multiply God’s kingdom with what he has already given you right now?
-
“Discipline is choosing what we want MOST over what we want NOW. Stay disciplined. Successful people do consistently what others do occasionally” - Craig Groeschel. Some people who belong to the Above and Beyond kingdom, or kingdom of heaven, forget that it doesn’t mean we get everything we want, hope, dream or believe for without either WORKING or WAITING. How can we stay faithful to keep multiplying what has been invested into us even when we aren’t seeing an immediate return?

International Women’s Day 2022
FULL NOTES
I love seeing International Women’s Day as an opportunity to reflect on the past and where we’ve come from, while also looking ahead to what we can still do to make sure women and men have equal opportunity to bring their unique contribution to the world, without privilege or persecution. I am proud to be a woman, but like most women I know, have experienced challenges based on people’s perceptions of gender and how they thought I should look or act, or which roles I should aspire to in my life based on the fact that I am a woman.
I think the one word I would convey to people, both women and men, boys and girls, this International Women’s Day, is that you are enough. God sees you and he loves you just as you are. I, in fact, believe he has made you and given you everything you need to be all that you desire to be in your life.
This International Women’s Day I want to honour and celebrate all the women who are thoughtfully, intentionally, passionately and prayerfully going after everything that is in their heart to bring to the world. Whether it’s in business, family, work, leadership or ministry, I am here today cheering for you and reminding you that you have been given everything you need to accomplish what you feel called to bring to the world. Whether it’s an entrepreneurial enterprise, a strong family, a contribution to your local community and the social fabric of your sphere of influence, senior leadership in the corporate sector or not-for-profit space or church and ministry leadership that’s on your heart, your contribution is NECESSARY.
To the men who empower women in your world, don’t get tired or give up! Your contribution is equally necessary in a world where men have throughout history been automatically given more power, influence and authority than women, simply based on their gender. I am so grateful for the men in my life who have not only empowered me to bring my unique contribution to the world, but have gone above and beyond by taking a step backwards in their own career trajectory in order to reset the equilibrium as their own contribution toward equality for women.
Let me finish by saying this: Jesus, the person throughout history who I personally allow to have the most influence into my thinking and actions, spent his short time on earth beginning the work of turning a culture where women had little value, power or opportunity to better themselves and their families, upside down. And here’s what he said about you being enough: “Here’s what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.”
In these words lie the answer to feeling overwhelmed as a mum of young kids or a woman juggling the tension of solo parenting or work and study. Here is how we can carry a grace for dealing with infertility, or relationship breakdown, or the toxicity and evil of abuse in all its forms. Here is how we find our calling and become reinspired that we are, in fact, enough. We bring our full selves, simply, honestly, authentically, just as we are, to the God who loves us. We pour our hearts out to him and just watch how he begins to build us back up again when we empty our hearts out to him.
Happy International Women’s Day.

MESSAGE NOTES:
Fast First —> Build Later
Nehemiah 1:1-4 NLT
In late autumn, in the month of Kislev, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes’ reign, I was at the fortress of Susa. Hanani, one of my brothers, came to visit me with some other men who had just arrived from Judah. I asked them about the Jews who had returned there from captivity and about how things were going in Jerusalem. They said to me, “Things are not going well for those who returned to the province of Judah. They are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem has been torn down, and the gates have been destroyed by fire.” When I heard this, I sat down and wept. In fact, for days I mourned, fasted, and prayed to the God of heaven.
What is the FIRST thing that we do when things in our lives break? How do we put those things back together, those things that need to be rebuilt…..?
When Nehemiah discovered that his city was broken, his home demolished, his first action was to fast and pray! HE FASTED FIRST
Nehemiah Fasted and Prayed FIRST!
Then some months later…
Nehemiah 2:1-5 NLT
Early the following spring, in the month of Nisan, during the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes’ reign, I was serving the king his wine. I had never before appeared sad in his presence. So the king asked me, “Why are you looking so sad? You don’t look sick to me. You must be deeply troubled.”
Then I was terrified, but I replied, “Long live the king! How can I not be sad? For the city where my ancestors are buried is in ruins, and the gates have been destroyed by fire.” The king asked, “Well, how can I help you?” With a prayer to the God of heaven, I replied, “If it please the king, and if you are pleased with me, your servant, send me to Judah to rebuild the city where my ancestors are buried.”
It was his fasting and praying, and his faithfulness to serve wherever God had placed him, and to serve the Persian king, that opened a door to the miraculous.
Fasting and prayer shifted the natural order of things and would be the catalyst that eventually allows Nehemiah to start to build later.
Fasting first, changes everything, and like Nehemiah, this season of fasting for us has the potential to be our very own game changer ,as we begin to rebuild our lives, as Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of the city of Jerusalem.
When we Fast First IN preparation to build again...we can expect some powerful things to take place in our lives... fainting again =
- Focuses Our Affection
Nehemiah 2:6-7 NLT
The king, with the queen sitting beside him, asked, “How long will you be gone? When will you return?” After I told him how long I would be gone, the king agreed to my request. I also said to the king, “If it please the king, let me have letters addressed to the governors of the province west of the Euphrates River, instructing them to let me travel safely through their territories on my way to Judah.
Nehemiah had already made a plan to rebuild the walls of his city, before he even had an opportunity to do so…
What matter most you…what really matters?
Are you prepared to be a participant in the rebuild, or just a by stander, … bickering about the broken.
Fasting sorts our preferences from our passions
- Blows Up The Bank Account
Nehemiah 2:8 NLT
And please give me a letter addressed to Asaph, the manager of the king’s forest, instructing him to give me timber. I will need it to make beams for the gates of the Temple fortress, for the city walls, and for a house for myself.” And the king granted these requests, because the gracious hand of God was on me.
Fasting will fill your life with provision for His purpose on your life
Fasting and Prayer triggered the miraculous supply of materials to see the city rebuilt.
God is always growing your supply right where you are…..in the forests and the quarries of your CAPTIVITY, God is preparing a harvest and a gold RUSH for your future!
- Takes The Broken and Turns Them Into Builders
Nehemiah 2:17-18 NLT
But now I said to them, “You know very well what trouble we are in. Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire. Let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and end this disgrace!” 18Then I told them about how the gracious hand of God had been on me, and about my conversation with the king. They replied at once, “Yes, let’s rebuild the wall!” So they began the good work.
We are all broken, lost, in captivity to an enemy who wants to keep us trapped in a land where we don’t belong…
where do you find your broken self? In a land of shame, guilt, hopelessness, discouragement, disappointment, faithlessness…are you a broken prisoner of addiction, or ungodly thinking…..
Like Nehemiah who called on people to begin to build again....this morning Jesus is calling your name...will you build your life on me?? Your answer this morning...is YES - let’s rebuild the wall!!!

MESSAGE NOTES:
Fasting Again
1 Chronicles 28:10 MSG God has chosen you to BUILD his holy house. Be brave, determined. And do it!
Building the spiritual discipline of prayer and fasting… this builds the house of God = you and me…= HIS CHURCH!
Are you ready to FAST AGAIN
As we lean into this season of fasting it will do 3 significant things in our lives:
1. Prepare us for divine purpose
Luke 4:1-2 TPT
From the moment of his baptism, Jesus overflowed with the Holy Spirit. He was taken by the Spirit from the Jordan into the wilderness of Judea to experience for forty days the ordeal of testing by the accuser. He ate no food during this time and ended his forty-day fast very hungry.
Luke 4:14-15TPT
Then Jesus, armed with the Holy Spirit’s power, returned to Galilee, and his fame spread throughout the region. He taught in the synagogues and they glorified him.
These next 21 days, will be a season of preparation….
This is our season to prepare for the divine purpose God has for our lives.
Expect to engage in some testing….
BUT, THEN, expect to be full of Holy Spirit Power as you move forward into your God destiny and divine purpose!
- Build our faith, to believe God for more.
Judges 20:25-28 MSG
On the second day, the Israelites again advanced against Benjamin. This time as the Benjaminites came out of the city, on this second day, they devastated another eighteen Israelite divisions, all swordsmen. All the People of Israel, the whole army, were back at Bethel, weeping, sitting there in the presence of God. That day they fasted until evening. They sacrificed Whole-Burnt-Offerings and Peace-Offerings before God. And they again inquired of God. The Chest of God’s Covenant was there at that time with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, as the ministering priest. They asked, “Shall we again march into battle against the Benjaminites, our brothers? Or should we call it quits?” And God said, “Attack. Tomorrow I’ll give you victory.”
What has been defeating you this week?
Are you ready to call it quits?
What are you mourning? What have you already given up on? ….
TOMORROW I will give you VICTORY!
Let’s believe God for more!
- Make room for miracles
Mark 9:14-29 Tells the story of a boy who was in desperate need of miracle. The disciples were praying for him but could not find a breakthrough for him. Jesus arrives and heals the boy.
Mark 9:28-29 TPT
Afterwards, when Jesus arrived at the house, his disciples asked him in private, “Why couldn’t we cast out the demon?” He answered them, “This type of powerful spirit can only be cast out by fasting and prayer.”
Fasting brings breakthrough into our lives.
Come on...LIFT the lid On your faith this season...
lift your expedition to see God move miraculously in YOUR LIFE.
I believe that TODAY, we can see a VICTORY as we invite people to make a FIRST time decisions to say Yes to Jesus.

Message Notes:
Building A Culture Of Excellence
Daniel 6:3 NKJV
“Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm.”
What are you excellent at?
What would happen if you made a commitment today to be the kind of person that chooses to build EXCELLENCE as a cultural norm for your entire life, your family, your businesses, staff, friendship groups....? For our church? What would it look like for to have a SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE, like Daniel?
- Excellence opens doors and expands your world
Daniel 6:2-3 NLT
“The king also chose Daniel and two others as administrators to supervise the high officers and protect the king’s interests. Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other administrators and high officers. Because of Daniel’s great ability, [AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT WAS IN HIM - NKJV] the king made plans to place him over the entire empire.”
Daniel’s EXCELLENT spirit caused the authorities in his world to make plans to promote, elevate and empower his life. Daniel went from simply leading his own life, to leading an entire empire ... because of EXCELLENCE.
- Excellence activates supernatural favour
Colossians 3:22-25 MSG
“Servants, do what you’re told by your earthly masters. And don’t just do the minimum that will get you by. Do your best. Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you’ll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you’re serving is Christ. The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible. Being a follower of Jesus doesn’t cover up bad work.”
Excellence activates supernatural favour. Somebody is praying and believing for a supernatural breakthrough....at work, in business, personal finances..but God is saying that the breakthrough is on the other side of your first step toward excellence.
- Excellence points people to Jesus
Daniel’s story takes a turn for the worse very quickly. His excellence spirit soon becomes the envy of those he is leading. So they conspire to have home thrown into a den of lions. But after the King sees that Daniel has been saved by God and not killed by the lions he writes this:
Daniel 6:26 NLT
“I decree that everyone throughout my kingdom should tremble with fear before the God of Daniel. For he is the living God, and he will endure forever. His kingdom will never be destroyed, and his rule will never end.”
When we have an excellent spirit, people see Jesus at work in our lives!
- Excellence removes distraction so people see Jesus clearly.
- Excellence says I’m here for those who aren’t here, I am not here for me. If I were here for me, I wouldn’t build a culture of excellence I’d build a church around a culture of preferences. Do stuff that I’m comfortable with, or that is easier, or won’t upset anybody...
- Excellence says that I know God has moved heaven and earth for you to be in the room today, and I am going to join in on God’s agenda to save our world and do whatever it takes to see people meet Jesus for the first time.
- Excellence says that I don’t give up on inviting and bringing people to church.
- Excellence says today could be their day.
How do we build a culture of excellence into our lives, into our church, into our families, businesses, staff, friendship groups, into our churches TO SEE our lives expanding, TO SEE supernatural favour, and TO SEE our friends find Jesus?
But here is the best part...A culture of excellence is easy to live, when we honour the ONE who brings EXCELLENCE into our lives...
Hebrews 13:20-21 TPT
“Now may the God who brought us peace by raising from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ so that he would be the Great Shepherd of his flock; and by the power of the blood of the eternal covenant may he work perfection into every part of you giving you all that you need to fulfill your destiny. And may HE express through you all that is EXCELLENT and pleasing to him through your life-union with Jesus the Anointed One who is to receive all glory forever! Amen!”
If we SAY YES TO Jesus .. he does all the heavy lifting for us...
He works perfection into our lives
He gives us all that we need to fulfil our destiny
He expresses excellence through us
IF we know Jesus, if we have invited Him into our life and said yes to his invitation to save us....he brings into our lives everything we need.

Message Notes:
1 Chronicles 28:10 God has chosen you to build his holy house. Be brave, determined! And do it!”
Genesis 37:5-11 NLT “One night Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him more than ever. “Listen to this dream,” he said. “We were out in the field, tying up bundles of grain. Suddenly my bundle stood up, and your bundles all gathered around and bowed low before mine!” His brothers responded, “So you think you will be our king, do you? Do you actually think you will reign over us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dreams and the way he talked about them.
- FAITHFUL DREAMERS DREAM BIG DREAMS
And take tiny steps
Zechariah 4:10 NLT
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.
Matthew 25:21 NLT
The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’
- FAITHFUL DREAMERS DREAM BIG DREAMS
And are faithful in their failures
Genesis 39:2-6 NLT
“The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master. Potiphar noticed [faithfulness does not go unnoticed (note young leaders and new business owners and young people in work, be faithful where you are) this and realized that the Lord was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did.
- FAITHFUL DREAMERS DREAM BIG DREAMS
And make room for miracles
Genesis 41:14-16 NLT
“Pharaoh sent for Joseph at once, and he was quickly brought from the prison. After he shaved and changed his clothes, he went in and stood before Pharaoh. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream last night, and no one here can tell me what it means. But I have heard that when you hear about a dream you can interpret it.” “It is beyond my power to do this,” Joseph replied. “But God can tell you what it means and set you at ease.””

MESSAGE NOTES:
An Encounter With The Holy Spirit
1 Chronicles 28:10 God has chosen you to build his holy house. Be brave, determined! And do it!”
Zechariah 4:6NLT
“Then he said to me, “This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.”
Zerrubabel was a builder….but before he began the work of building the HOUSE of God (for the second time) The prophet came and spoke this word to him….AND ...this is God’s word to His people today!
Building Strong is NOT about STRENGTH…..it is not about getting stronger, trying harder, or being a better person….
BUILDING STRONG is about BUILDING FAITHFULLY…..Faithfully doing the same, the same SMALL things, right things, over and over again, the unglamorous, the often uncelebrated things day after day, week after week and yer after year….THAT is what BUILDS a STRONG: marriage, family, financial world, business, leader, future, LIFE!
IF Building Strong is NOT about STRENGTH…..IF it is not about getting stronger, trying harder, or being a better person….and it is ALL about BEINGFAITHFUL….
Where does FAITHFULNESS come from?
How do I DO FAITHFULNESS?
Galatians 5:22-23 NLT
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
FAITHFULNESS = Fruit of the Spirit…Faithfulness is evidence that YOU have had an encounter with the HOLY SPIRIT!
BUILDING STRONG BEGINS WITH AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
Whenever God wants to BIULD something NEW into our lives…LIKE FAITHFULNESS ….He makes room for an introduction with the the Holy Spirit ....
…because it is the fruit of that encounter that BUILDS our life….
Let’s look at how the Holy Spirit wants to encounter us today…..by looking at the pattern, the theology of Holy Spirit encounters throughout the bible!
An Encounter With The Spirit Of God Always:
- Creates Something New In Us
Genesis 1:1-2 LB
When God began creating the heavens and the earth, the earth was a shapeless, chaotic mass, with the Spirit of God brooding over the dark vapours.
Today... God wants to step into your chaos..the emptiness you are feeling...and CREATE something new in you...God wants to create a new faithfulness in you today...
What have you given up on? What has lost its shape in your life today..?
The spirit of God is here....brooding... anticipating...planning...working in the background...
Today is your day for an encounter with the Holy Spirit..an encounter that will create something NEW in you!
2. Changes Something About Us
In the Old Testament the Hebrew word for the Spirit of God is RUACH and in the New Testament the Greek word for the Holy Spirit is Pneuma, both of these words mean wind, or breath…..
The Holy Spirit is always moving, at work, changes the atmosphere, changes lives, He will always move us, change us, shape us…whenever people encounter the Spirit of God, something SHIFTS in our lives!
Romans 12:2TPT“Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.”
I wonder, how ready are you for the Spirit of God to shift something in your life today…to clean somehow out, to make room for the fruit of FAITHFULNESS, to BUILD STRONG in every area of your life?
Professor, Theologian, N.T Wright says that “God longs to give the holy spirit to people, and that all we have to do is ask. What the spirit will do when he comes is anybody’s guess. Be prepared for wind and fire, for some fairly drastic spring cleaning of the dusty and cold rooms of one’s life. The Holy Spirit will transform you from a listless or lifeless believer into someone whose heart is on fire with the love of God."
3. Charges us with Supernatural Power
Acts 1:8 TPT
But I promise you this—the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will be seized with power. And you will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces—even to the remotest places on earth!”
The encounter ALWAYS precedes the MISSION….because we need His power, before we serve His purpose…..
Luke 24:49 NLT
“And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”
Let’s not get it back to front, lets not BUILD STRONG, before we have the POWER of God to build FAITHFULLY, day after day, week after week, year after year…..
Our first order of business is to surrendered our lives to Jesus….
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen
Before Zerrubabel laid a single brick to ‘build strong’ to build the Holy House of God…..he had to have an encounter with the Spirit of God…this same principle applies to us today…
PRAYER FOR Holy Spirit ENCOUNTER…let’s not lay another brick, build another moment of our lives, without an encounter with the Spirit of God.

MESSAGE NOTES:
Build Again
In 538 BC, led by Zerrubabel, 42,360 Jews returned to Jerusalem after 50 years of exile in Babylon. They were on mission to resettle Jerusalem, and Zerrubabel’s first task was the REBUILDING of the Holy House, the Temple. The Place where God meets His People.
1 Chronicles 28:10 MSG – God has chosen you to build his holy house. Be brave, determined! And do it!
Solomons Temple stood for 371 years before Jerusalem was sacked by the Babylonians and the temple destroyed…..in 586 BC
How is your marriage after 2020? How are your kids after 2020? How are your friendships, finances, study, health (physical, mental, emotional?)
How is your job, your business….how about those hopes, dreams. How is your vision for the year ahead tracking after a demolishing year like 2020??
The people of God had the temple of Solomon, their Holy House of God, they had the predictability of worship, liturgy.. for 371 YEARS…then they lost it all!
God’s word to us today…is that, despite the brokenness of OUR year…..WE can BUILD AGAIN!
I want to be like Zerrubabel, I want to Build Again, but where do I start? What will I use? Will There Be Help?
- Where do I start?
God’s plan’s alway’s begin with His people
Zechariah 4:10 NLT
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.
The Theology of the presence of God is ALL about community…
The Christian faith is personal, but it is NOT private.
BUILDING AGAIN will only BEGIN …..in COMMUNITY!
- What will I use?
God’s provision always follows God’s purpose
What is your mission? Are you building God’s p
urposes? OR are you building your own agenda….
The temple sat unfinished for 17 years as it faced opposition from political opponents and an apathetic nation…during this time the people of God suffered miserably!
So the prophet Haggai points them to their answer, reminds them that they have ALL that they need to BUILD AGAIN!
Haggai 1:8-9 MSG
Then God said: “Here’s what I want you to do: Climb into the hills and cut some timber.
Bring it down and rebuild the Temple. Do it just for me. Honour me. You’ve had great ambitions for yourselves, but nothing has come of it. The little you have brought to my Temple I’ve blown away—there was nothing to it.”
Matthew 6:33 NKJV
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
When we prioritise God’s plan for our lives and leave our selfish ambition and our personal agendas behind….something MIRACULOUS takes place…..
Those blocking our resources become the benefactors for our future!
Proverbs 13:22
…but the wealth of the wicked is treasured up for the righteous.
- Who will help?
You will!
1 Thessalonians 5:11 MSG
So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you’ll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you’re already doing this; just keep on doing it.
Joining a team doesn’t just build YOUR life but you are building the life of somebody else!
Committing to a life groups doesn’t just build YOUR life but you are building the life of somebody else!
Being in the room doesn’t just build YOUR life but you are building the life of somebody else!
Your friends who are NOT in the room, are looking for your help too! For their lives to be BUILT AGAIN after a year like 2020…
No matter what we BUILD…. even if we START IN GOD’S presence,have all the miraculous provision that comes our way…even if we join a team and commit to a life group,...UNLESS WE build with JESUS as …our foundation …we waste our time
Matthew 7:24-25 MSG
These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.

We Will Build - Just Say The Word
1 Chronicles 28:10 MSG “God has chosen you to build his holy house. Be brave, determined! And do it!”
God has CHOSEN you to build HIS HOLY house…You are here on purpose today!
God is saying to you through this series…This is YOUR season to rise up, BE BRAVE, BE DETERMINED,and step into the CALL of God that is on your life.
GOD’S heart is that the CALL He has on your life WILL, BUILD BOTH your life and the LIFE of the local church.
The agenda of Heaven is for ALL to know the love, grace and hope found only in Jesus, and Jesus’ plan to rescue humanity….IS the local church. When your God given dreams and the mission of the local church align, wow, heaven’s POWER is released over your life?!
The TRUTH is that YOU CAN DO IT…YOU CAN BUILD!
1 Chronicles 28:20-21 MSG
David continued to address Solomon: “Take charge! Take heart! Don’t be anxious or get discouraged. God, my God, is with you in this; he won’t walk off and leave you in the lurch. He’s at your side until every last detail is completed for conducting the worship of God. You have all the priests and Levites standing ready to pitch in, and skillful craftsmen and artisans of every kind ready to go to work. Both leaders and people are ready. Just say the word.”
David casts a large, bold and ambitious vision to build the House of God. The temple is the forerunner, the model, a shadow or ‘type’ to today’s church…The building of the temple was a MIRACLE endeavour….as is the church as is the coming of Jesus, as is our lives as they step into our purpose and BUILD here in the local church.
This verse actually gives us the key to unlock our BRAVERY, to release our DETERMINATION to BUILD our lives on MISSION with JESUS…..to step into a season of miracle, favour and see heavens power unleashed in our world…. you need to JUST SAY THE WORD!!!
1. Yes To Teams
1 Chronicles 28:21MSG
You have all the priests and Levites standing ready to pitch in, and skillful craftsmen and artisans of every kind ready to go to work.
Ever feel like you are all on your own, when it comes to building your life? [SOLOMON WOULD HAVE FELT OVERWHELMED….IF IT WASNT FOR THE TEAM THAT DAVID BUILT AROUND HIM]
It’s not God’s design for us to BUILD alone!….Jesus established the local church so that we can build each other up!
Building the local church builds YOUR life!
The building of OUR life is inextricably connected to the building of the local church.
Haggai1:9NLT
“You hoped for rich harvests, but they were poor. And when you brought your harvest home, I blew it away. Why? Because my house lies in ruins, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, while all of you are busy building your own fine houses.”
Ephesians 1:23 MSG
The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.
The presence of God in our lives flows from the gathered people of God!
2. Yes To Leadership
1 Chronicles 28:20 MSG
David continued to address Solomon: “Take charge! Take heart! Don’t be anxious or get discouraged. God, my God, is with you in this; he won’t walk off and leave you in the lurch. He’s at your side until every last detail is completed for conducting the worship of God.
Want to rid your life of worry, anxiety and discouragement? Just say the word...SAY YES to leading your own life.
You are not a victim of your circumstances. You are the leader of your own life, and you can do everything you need to do to take back the control of a life that is falling down around you.
3. Yes To Jesus
1 Chronicles 28:9 MSG
“And you, Solomon my son, get to know well your father’s God; serve him with a whole heart and eager mind, for God examines every heart and sees through every motive. If you seek him, he’ll make sure you find him, but if you abandon him, he’ll leave you for good.
1 Chronicles 28:20 MSG
God, my God, is with you in this; he won’t walk off and leave you in the lurch. He’s at your side until every last detail is completed for conducting the worship of God.
Matthew 7:7-8 NLT
“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

When I Am Winning - Favour Follows The Fight
Are you winning?
Are you in the middle of a fight?
Today you will walk away from this message, knowing that YOU. ARE. A. WINNER! and HOW TO KEEP WINNING!
This is the promise that we have learnt from the life of King David…
1 Samuel 17:46 NLT
Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel!
….defeats 31 kings and kingdoms as the WARRIOR KING!
DAVID Set’s up a legacy for the PEOPLE of God..to come up out from under the SHADOW of oppression, exile. To rise to be a people who were feared, to be fearless...and powerful, and mighty…
This is how the BIBLE speaks about the VICTORIOUS PEOPLE of GOD…YOU!
Psalm 108:12-13 MSG
Give us help for the hard task;
human help is worthless.
In God we’ll do our very best;
he’ll flatten the opposition for good.
Colosians 2:15 TPT
Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were his!
IF WINNING is our PROMISE, there is a nagging question that begs an answer….
IF the VICTORY is GUARANTEED?HOW does a WINNER live their life like a CHAMPION?!
The Three Challenges of the Champion
1. Complacency
We are only where we are because of the great work we have done....and it will take a growing level of great work to see us keep winning in the future. Let’s not grow complacent!! There are kings to defeat, battles to win...are you ready for what’s next?!
2. Coasting
A rising tide lifts all ships.
Even if you aren’t doing well, it will appear as though you are if you’re in a healthy culture and a growing organisation.
1 Samuel 17:46 NLT
Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head.
WE STILL HAVE SOME KILLING TO DO!!
3. Comparison
When we are WINNING we need to make sure that we use our own internal expectations and goals to measure our progress and NOT the success or failures of our friends or competition.
If we we can master these 3 challenges of a champion...we are ready to make the
3 Commitments of a champion
The 3 Commitments Of a Champion
Winners know that GOLIATH is just theBEGINNING- King David defeat 31 kings from 31 kingdoms…
If there are VICTORIES to BE WON then there are BATTLES to be FOUGHT!!!
The 3 commitments of a champion Keep WINNERS WINNING?!
- Rest
Winning costs us something...so to keep winning we need to keep our account full...the biggest account drawn down upon in our spiritual battles is the our EMOTIONAL account ...to keep that account topped up!!
- Stay physically healthy
- Spend time with God (daily devotions/disciples - WTLB)
- Spend time with account fillers
- Fill an account
Proverbs11:25TPT
“Those who live to bless others will have blessings heaped upon them, and the one who pours out his life to pour out blessings will be saturated with favor.”
- Keep away from Nigerian Princes (toxic people who want to drain your emotional account)
2. Reflect
What have you done in the past that has meant you are wining today?
- You have been immersed in a faith filled church community!
- You have been gathering with your life group, sharing your story and encouraging others!
- You have been serving on a team, playing a part in something bigger than yourself!
- You’ve been stepping up and and YES to new Kingdom First leadership opportunities…leading a team, leading a life group//etc..
3. Repeat
You are winning TODAY because you have been applying these KINGDOM principles in the past! So keep them up!
“I’ll win because of the positive habits I’ve developed, and because of the consistency I use in applying those habits.” - The Compound Effect, Darren Hardy.
Faithfulness and consistency COMPOUND!!!
Hebrews 3:14NLT
“For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.”
If you are winning, YOUR first step was inviting Jesus into your life!
Jesus is everybody’s first step into this VICTORIOUS life? Have you said YES to Jesus today?
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen

Weapon Of Mass Destruction
The story of the life of David, is where we have drawn the foundation for our current message series "Favour Follows The Fight".
1 Samuel 18:6-9 MSG
As they returned home, after David had killed the Philistine, the women poured out of all the villages of Israel singing and dancing, welcoming King Saul with tambourines, festive songs, and lutes. In playful frolic the women sang,
Saul kills by the thousand,
David by the ten thousand!
1 Chronicles 19:18 MSG
David killed seven thousand chariot drivers and forty thousand infantry.
1 Chronicles 18:6 MSG
God gave victory to David wherever he marched.
The bible says that we will face battles, just like King David. Our battles will be spiritual battles, and we WILL need to engage with them to see victory in our lives, in the lives of our families, friends, workplaces, marriages, schools, businesses...to see our 'God destinies' fulfilledand our 'God dreams' come to pass!
I wonder what kinds of battles you are facing today?
2 Corinthians 10:3-4 TPT
For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energised with divine power to effectively dismantle the defences behind which people hide.
What are these 'Spiritual Weapons' These Weapons Of Mass Destruction!?
King David fought physical battles, yes, BUT, he too knew that the power of SUPERNATURAL weapons was were where he would find his victory!
David’s Weapons of MASS DESTRUCTION\
1. Worship
1 Samuel16:23NLT
“And whenever the tormenting spirit from God troubled Saul, David would play the harp. Then Saul would feel better, and the tormenting spirit would go away.”
Psalms 100:1-3TPT“Lift up a great shout of joy to the Lord! Go ahead and do it—everyone, everywhere! As you serve him, be glad and worship him. Sing your way into his presence with joy! And realize what this really means— we have the privilege of worshiping the Lord our God.
When we GATHER and SING, SHOUT, EVEYRONE, EVERYWHERE.....
When we gather, everyone form everywhere and worship, we are honing, sharpening our weapons of war!
2. Leadership
Psalms 139:23-24NLT
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.”
God is always leading YOU somewhere...
You are called to lead others who God has entrusted to you....You too ARE a leader!
As the leader of you family, your ministry, business, workplace, as la leader of YOUR OWN LIFE.....are you .asking God to test you, prepare you, to deal with your brokenness, are all steps on your leadership journey to FINDING FAVOUR IN EVERY FIGHT.....this is what David knew!!
HOW to develop your weapon of leadership......
JOIN a Team!
Leadership is the weapon of mass destruction that is forged in the fire of mission!
3. Joy
This is the secret weapon of MASS destruction!
King David knew this to be true...
Psalms 30:4-5NLT
“Sing to the Lord, all you godly ones! Praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.”
Psalms 126:5-6NLT
“Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.”
Romans15:13TPT
“Now may God, the inspiration and fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope!”
God calls ALL of us into this life of VICTORY...AND these weapons of mass destruction are not meant to be secrets, in fact Jesus died so that ALL could know, eternal life, and life to the full! If you want to receive all that Jesus has for you today...invite Him into your life!
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen

Psalm 72:6 TPT
Your favour will fall like rain upon our surrendered lives, like showers reviving the earth!
FINANCIAL FAVOUR FOLLOWS A SURRENDERED LIFE...
This will be a season of finding financial favour in your life, as you surrender to Jesus.
Q:If a season of financial revival falls like rain on the surrendered life, then what does this surrendered life look like?
Are there things in my life, that I need to surrender, to begin to welcome in this new season of financial favour?
1. Surrender Small
3 John 1:2TPT
“Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering.”
This word PROSPERING (euodoō ) literally means ‘help/supply on the road’ or ‘to succeed in reaching’ OR ‘Provision for the VISION’
Q: is the reason we lack the PROVISION or the PROSPERITY that we need, because we lack the capacity for VISION?!
You see ...a SMALL vision only demands small provision.
A LARGE vision demands LARGE provision /
or a GROWING vision demands GROWING provision
Some of us lack provision because we lack a God given vision for our lives ...
“Don’t allow the financial lack of your present to author the dreams of your future.”
DREAM BIG! SURRENDER SMALL + make room for a financial miracle in your life!
This year to believe for our $50K Vision offering…BUT we are GOING somewhere and we will cast bold ambitious vision, we are making room for the miracle of PROVISION and PROSPERITY!
$50K FOR 5 MAJOR STEPS FORWARD FOR BEYOND CHURCH in 2020
$10K - Cessnock Location - new carpet in our Front Room (gentlemen collecting his paper enquiring about the work that we do)
$10K - Scone Location - new tech equipment for them to be totally autonomous
$10K - Online Location - lift the level of excellence of the online experience - Audio and video equipment (new connection from ‘somewhere’)
$10K - Missionaries oversees in Vietnam - 2 families, to continue our support for them for an additional 12 months.
$10K - Seed funding for our next physical Beyond Church locations
2. Surrender Stingy
Surrender stingy generosity, AND Surrender stingy expectations!
Some of us are quite comfortable giving our resources away….but find it very difficult to believe that divine generosity should fall on our lives!
This is God, bringing financial favour into our world, reviving our lives!
God wants us to be BOTH, those who sow seeds of generosity AND those who EXPECT reap a harvest!
Are you ready AND EXPECTANT to receive a significant increase in your financial world during this season?
Paul’s instructions on how we live both extravagant generosity and bold expectations….
2 Corinthians9:7-8TPT
“Let giving flow from your heart, not from a sense of religious duty. Let it spring up freely from the joy of giving—all because God loves hilarious generosity! Yes, God is more than ready (are you ready?) to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything—every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do.”
3. Surrender Solo
Your financial revival, is on the other side of your relationship with Jesus…in fact the revival that God wants for you in EVERY area of your life, is on the other side of your relationship with Jesus….Do you know Jesus today?
A life following Jesus is a life of supply, not a life of lack.
Psalm 23:1 NIV
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
A life with Jesus, is a life of abundance!
John 10:10-11 TPT
I am the Gateway. To enter through me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction. A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow! I am the Good Shepherd who lays down my life as a sacrifice for the sheep.

This Is My Legacy
1 Chronicles 29:1-5MSG “Then David the king addressed the congregation: “My son Solomon was singled out and chosen by God to do this. But he’s young and untested and the work is huge—this is not just a place for people to meet each other, but a house for GOD to meet us. I’ve done my best to get everything together for building this house for my God, all the materials necessary: gold, silver, bronze, iron, lumber, precious and varicoloured stones, and building stones—vast stockpiles. Furthermore, because my heart is in this, in addition to and beyond what I have gathered, I’m turning over my personal fortune of gold and silver for making this place of worship for my God: 3,000 talents (about 113 tons) of gold—all from Ophir, the best—and 7,000 talents (214 tons) of silver for covering the walls of the buildings, and for the gold and silver work by craftsmen and artisans. “And now, how about you? Who among you is ready and willing to join in the giving?””
1 Chronicles29:6MSG “Ready and willing, the heads of families, leaders of the tribes of Israel, commanders and captains in the army, stewards of the king’s affairs, stepped forward and gave willingly.
What does Beyond Church do when we are asked that question “And now, how about you? Who among you is ready and willing to join in the giving?”
[STORIES OF VISION OFFERING GOALS]
2015 - Our vision was to increase our physical footprint, build a prominent presence, connect in a deeper, more present way with our community. …we had the opportunity to expand into the Front Room of this facility.We needed to raise the funds for 12 months rent, furnish and paint, toin our community - to reach more people... We did it!
2016 - Our Vision Offering raised funds to host a community party, to honour and bless Cessnock, celebratingthe 30 years birthday party and special weekend service.
2017 - Home For Good Campaign, where the owner agreed to sell this property, beyond church signed contracts and then on the vision offering weekend, the owner took the sale off the table. We still made room for a miracle and received our miracle offering which went towards saving for a future building!
2018 -our Vision Offering focus was renovating our auditorium, kitchen, cafe, PLUS investing financially into leadership development.....and then by a miracle of God we found ourselves in the position to purchase this property...So, as a church in 2018, we raised our missions offering goal of $10K, our Vision Offering goal of $20, and then raised an additional $92K to secure the loan to purchase of this property.
2019 - our Vision Offering goal was to raise $30K for: Church planting - renovating the midweek hub in Scone for our Academy and staff offices, paying for the rent of that premises for 12 months + New offices in Cessnock + new sound equipment in Cessnock (to release some resources for church planting) + new parents room in Cessnock.
2020 - Vision Offering: this year we are MERGING our Mission and Vision offerings to be one super generous Above and Beyond offering which will be used for: overseas mission in Vietnam, church planting another new church, capital works at our locations - Offering Goal: $50,000
10K for Vietnam
10K for Cessnock Front Room carpet
10K for Scone independent sound set up
10K for Online audio and video improvements
10K as seed fund for our next church plant
Each year we have an AMAZING OPPORTUNITY that sets us up to reach and raise generation after generation of Kingdom leaders in this community and beyond. It is an opportunity that when stewarded well, changes the game forever.
In a study conducted by Dr Anthony Campolo ,50 people over 95 years were asked 'If you could live your life over again, what would you do differently?' In the study, three answers were the most common.
1. I would reflect more.
2. I would risk more.
3. I would do more things that would live on after I am dead.
Q: What kind of legacy, will we leave our children’s children?
We have an opportunity today, to be the generation that our children’s children look back to and say, thank you Jesus, for their sacrifice. Thank you Jesus, they pioneered, they persevered, they chased down their God dreams, so that...we can stand on the shoulders of their LEGACY!
Psalms 78:3-4NLT
“stories we have heard and known, stories our ancestors handed down to us. We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders.”
Psalms 145:4-6NLT
“Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power. I will meditate on your majestic, glorious splendour and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue; I will proclaim your greatness.”
What AWE inspiring acts will our children tell their children? “I want to tell you about the time Beyond church purchased its first campus.....I want to tel about the time Beyond Church launched its first church plant in regional NSW… I want to tell you about the time Beyond Church pioneered an online location in the middle of a global pandemic…
[SLIDE]
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen

Finding Financial Favour Week #1

Favour Follows First Things First
Week 1: Tithing: Making room for miracles in your financial world
Week 2: Seeding: (Vision Giving) Making room for generosity in your financial world
Week 3: Saving: (asset building) Making room for generations
Week 4: Spending: Making room for fun
My prayer is that this message series would mark the beginning of unprecedented favour and growth in your financial world.
Q: Did you know that God desires for you, AND has designed you to live a large, growing, blessed and prosperouslife?...It is, in fact, hard wired into the DNA of humanity...
Genesis 1:28NLT “Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it.
Q: Did you know God's dream is for His people is to see them growing, expanding and leading in every sphere of their lives...this includes our FINANCIAL WORLD!
Deuteronomy 28:8MSG
“GOD will order a blessing on your barns and workplaces; he’ll bless you in the land that GOD, your God, is giving you.”
If it is in our DNA to lived a blessed life..if it is an order or COMMAND of God to bless our life...If this IS the PROMISE of God for my life...then HOW do we find it financial favour in our lives TODAY?
How do We FIND FINANCIAL FAVOUR?
- Pray For It
Matthew 7:7-11
“Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing. You’re at least decent to your own children. So don’t you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?
- Plan For it
Isaiah 32:8 NLT
“But generous people plan to do what is generous, and they stand firm in their generosity.”
- Tithing is returning THE FIRST 10% of any financial increase we receive, to God what is already His.
- (Seeding)Generosity, within our means, = great goal is to aim for 10%for generosity
- It could be for sponsor children, charity, coffee for friends, vision offering for Beyond Church . . .
- The beyond church annual vision offering is sowing the seed of generously into good soil...
(Saving) , (spending)
2015 - Our vision was to increase our physical footprint, build a prominent presence, connect in a deeper, more present way with our community. …we had the opportunity to expand into the Front Room of this facility.We needed to raise the funds for 12 months rent, furnish and paint, toin our community - to reach more people...

We still made room for a miracle and received our miracle offering which went towards saving for a future building!

2020 - Vision Offering: this year we are MERGING our Mission and Vision offerings to be one super generous Above and Beyond offering which will be used for: overseas mission in Vietnam, church planting another new church, capital works at our locations - Offering Goal: $50,000
- Persist In It
What do we do when we sow seeds of generosity, but there seems to be a delay in the harvest?
I wonder when you have been discouraged, or disappointed by the delay you have seen in the return on your Kingdom generosity...?
The reality is that delay is synonymous with sowing
BUT the reality is that HARVEST is ALSO synonymous with sowing
Galatians 6:7-10TPT “Make no mistake about it, God will never be mocked! For what YOU plant will always be the very thing YOU harvest. The harvest you reap reveals the seed that was planted. […]And don’t allow yourselves to be weary or disheartened in planting good seeds, for the season of reaping the wonderful harvest you’ve planted is coming! Take advantage of every opportunity to be a blessing to others, especially to our brothers and sisters in the family of faith!”
A harvest of FAVOUR is FOUND when we pray for it, plan for it, persist in it.
Yes to Jesus
"Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross to pay the price for my sin
I invite you to be my saviour
Come into my life,
Forgive my sin,
Fill me with the power of your Holy Spirit
Amen"

//
1. ETERNAL LIFE
Psalm 133 NKJV
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
It is like the dew of Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore.
//
Yes to Jesus
"Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross to pay the price for my sin
I invite you to be my savior
Come into my life,
Forgive my sin,
Fill me with the power of your Holy Spirit
Amen"
//
2. ENCOURAGEMENT
Hebrews 10:25 TPT

For wherever two or three come together in honor of my name, I am right there with them!”

Paul had a lot going on in his world at this time and this passage reflects that. He had a troubled church in Corinth, which was very close to splitting, some of his people loved him, some hated him. He had internal conflict, he was seconded guessing his decisions, he was concerned he had made the situation in Corinth worse; he was concerned he had offended people.
2 Corinthians 7:5-6
When we arrived in Macedonia, there was no rest for us. We faced conflict from every direction, with battles on the outside and fear on the inside. But God, who encourages those who are discouraged, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
BUT GOD…turned it all around for Paul. God encouraged Paul! God wants to turn it around for you today!
“God does encourage His people, BUT . . . He uses His people to do the encouraging!”
Titus and his ARRIVAL – That word “arrival” in this text is the Greek word πἄρουσια, which Paul has chosen very carefully. In the context of the New Testament narrative, πἄρουσια, is almost exclusively used in connection with the arrival/ 2nd coming of Jesus. Paul is emphasising the fact that Titus, in this context, is literally “heaven sent”, or a “God send.”
When We ARRIVE HOME ( when we ARE the GATHERED PEOPLE / Jesus’ Church) WE are
known,we are needed, we are called to step into our God future/calling/destiny for your life…
THE POWER OF COMING HOME.
- At Home You Are Known
We actually discover our purpose, we know who we are when we are known by others.
Genesis 1:28 NLT Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.
We are created in the IMAGE of God - and GOD is intrinsically a community. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit - Stanley Grenz calls this theological concept - The social, the relational God - God who IS community. God, all by himself IS NEVER ALONE!
We are CREATED FOR COMMUNITY - AND.. We can not be fully HUMAN outside of community. Being with the gathered people is how we become our complete selves.
We can only reflect the image of God when we are the gathered PEOPLE of God!
Proverbs 18:1 MSG Loners who care only for themselves, spit on the common good.
Q: Who knows you? Who do you know?
C: Let’s invest ourselves into the gathering over the coming weeks and ARRIVE in the room ready to be known and to know others!
2. At Home You are Needed
Romans 1:11-12 NLT For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord. When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.
It is only when we are together that we can share ourselves, share our gifts with each other.
YOU have something I need! I have something you need!
What will you bring to the room?What will you arrive with? What will you arrive (πἄρουσια) with? What will you bring of heaven to my world?
New team members on Sunday AM andTuesday Night Church, and new team members serving online…
Serving on a team builds your life…
We will give every person every opportunity to serve every time we gather
Q: What do you bring to the room? How have you served this week?
C: Let’s invest ourselves into the gathering over the coming weeks and ARRIVE in the room ready to serve (join a team?)
3. At Home You Are Called - [TEAM UP]
John 15:16-17 MSG “You didn’t choose me, remember; I chose you, and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won’t spoil. As fruit bearers, whatever you ask the Father in relation to me, he gives you.
- Jesus chose you, and He is calling you to take your next step into your relationship with Him today. To say yes to him.
- For those who have said Yes To Jesus our next step is ALL about others! It is to Welcome one another Home!
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen

Your Fresh Start Is Falling
Psalm 72:6
Your favour will fall like rain upon our surrendered lives, like showers reviving the earth.
This verse speak of the FRESH START revival that God wants to bring into your life.
The means by which He chooses to brings this FRESH START into your life is that of RAIN - FAVOUR falling like RAIN, on our lives!
Q: ARE YOU READY FOR THE RAIN?
Q: They were READY for the RAIN…ARE YOU ready for the FRESH START REVIVAL that God’s is promising to FALL on you today?
RAIN IS = Holy Spirit EMPOWERMENT to live your God ordained life!
Acts 2:17 - 18 MSG
‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants — men and women alike — and they will prophesy.
RAIN IS = Supernatural PROVISION for the journey God has called you to!
Isaiah 44:3-4NLT
“For I will pour out water to quench your thirst and to irrigate your parched fields. And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your children. They will thrive like watered grass, like willows on a riverbank.”
Q: What do we do to prepare to receive this FRESH START RAIN? Sometimes we have to position ourselves / our lives where the rain is falling. Put yourself in the right place.
Israel are brought into the ‘promised land’ not so that they could be free from defending on God for their food, water and provisions, but so that they would be even more dependant upon Him. Egypt was a agriculturists heaven, and the land of canon was a nightmare, unless it saw rain. God, was showing His people, as He is showing us today, that it IS GOD who brings the FRESH START into our life…..It is not something we can manufacture on our own, independently of Him….
Q: Where do I position myself to RECEIVE the FRESH START RAINFALL in my life?
- FRESH STARTS FALL WITH JESUS
Position yourself with Jesus
Acts 3:19 MSG
Now it’s time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you, and send you the Messiah he prepared for you, namely, Jesus.
If we want to be where God’s favour is falling, we must say YES TO JESUS….
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen
2. FRESH STARTS FALL IN THE GATHERING
Position yourself with the gathered people of God
Acts 2:1-4 NLT
On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.
Q: Are YOU present? Are you where the RAIN IS FALLING?
Acts 2:46:47 MSG
They followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful, as they praised God. People in general liked what they saw. Every day their number grew as God added those who were saved.
What does being present look like?
Be in the room - Be present and engage with others....
Be on a team- This is how you can serve, how we can keep reaching people, keep growing, keep raising leaders and inspiring our community.
- This will build a pattern of accountability, consistency and growth into your life….ever felt stuck? Get on a team!
- This will build an attitude of gratefulness , selflessness and service into your life, as you focus on the needs of others, not the needs of your own life. Feeling discouraged and lonely?
Be in a life groupYour life group is your life boat. Want to stay afloat as the rain starts flooding your life…..LIFE GROUP is the answer….your life group will celebrate with you, fight for you and champion you toward your God future….position yourself in a life group and watch favour flood your life!
Fresh starts fall in the gathering
3. FRESH STARTS FALL ON A FIRM FOUNDATIONS
We all have an opportunity to BUILD AGAIN as we come out of this global pandemic….the question is, what will we build our lives on this time? The FAVOUR of GOD, falling like RAIN on your life is an inevitability, will you be positioned to receive it? Will you be able to handle the influx?
Jesus encourages us to build our lives on Him, so we can position ourselves to receive blessing and weather storms…….
Matthew 7:25-27 MSG
“These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock. “But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards.”
We are the people who, in the middle of a mess, in middle of a crisis are still smiling, still optimistic, still standing…. dreaming…..
Favour Follows A Fresh Start Culture
Romans 12:2 TPT “Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation (RE - FORMATION - FRESH START] of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.”
Much of Paul’s writing to the early church, most of the New Testament, is this challenge: Leave the patterns, opinions and ideals of the CULTURE that surrounds you and MAKE A FRESH START with a NEW CULTURE that BEGINS WITHIN YOU!
The REWARD for A FRESH START CULTURE kind-of-LIFE is a LIFE that FAVOUR FOLLOWS......BEAUTIFUL, SATISFYING and PERFECT LIFE....
Q: Do you want to see FAVOUR in your marriage, family, workplace, business, ministry, study...want divine favour to touch the dreams on your heart ... favour to touch the your future endeavours?
Q: Is this the kind of life you want? Do you want a ‘favour follows’ kind of life?
What does a FRESH START CULTURE LOOK LIKE?
Does Paul point us to a model or a method..does he give us some help...?
A: Paul talks a LOT about the the LOCAL CHURCH and in Paul’s worldview, the church, when it is living out A FRESH START CULTURE...is the hope of the world!
This is the FRESH START culture I want to point us to today...the fresh start culture of Gods one and only rescue plan for humanity....the local church....
THE SAME FRESH START CULTURE THAT BRINGS FAVOUR TO THE LOCAL CHURCH IS THE SAME FRESH START CULTURE THAT BRINGS FAVOUR INTO YOUR WORLD….;
A FRESH START CULTURE is 5 things:
- A Salvation Culture
Romans10:13NLT “For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Salvation is central to a FRESH START CULTURE.
We have to make room for this miracle for every person, every time, and in every place we gather.
The culture of the LOCAL CHURCH has the GUEST in mind FIRST.
If you have said Yes to Jesus, your new mission in this world is to point the rest of our broken and hurting world to their saviour.
Churches do so many great things around our world AND THEY SHOULD... ... but the difference between the CHURCH and the CHARITY, the sports club, the book club or the bike club, is that the church isn’t trying help you live a BETTER life...it’s calling you to LIVE A SURRENDERED life. ... A LIFE SURRENDERED to Jesus.
So....When you encounter church...you should be encountering Jesus.
“Therefore, we are here, for those who are not yet here!”
Our preaching, special events, kids programs, youth, music, academy, church planting, are ALL built to help people connect with Jesus.
At Beyond Church we say:
“WE WILL POINT PEOPLE TO JESUS AS THE ONE AND ONLY HOPE FOR HUMANITY”
A FRESH START CULTURE is always a salvation culture.
[SIDE 4]
- A Hospitable Culture
Romans16:1-2MSG “Be sure to welcome our friend Phoebe in the way of the Master, with all the generous hospitality we Christians are famous for.
Famous, generous hospitality is God’s WAY/ CULTURE OF welcoming people into a community of faith.
Why are Christians FAMOUS...for their generous hospitality...?
- John 2:1 - 11 Jesus first miracle = water into wine.
- Jesus miraculously fed thousands of people on 2 separate occasions. John 6:10-11 + Matthew 15:35-38
- Luke 24:30-32 Jesus broke bread with some of his disciples. The meal together is the one thing that helped them recognise Jesus identity. Then he miraculously disappears.
- Luke 24:40 - 43 Jesus appears to his disciples for the first time and asks for some fish to eat to prove he has risen from the dead!
- John 21:10-14 Jesus appeared for the 3rd time to his disciples after his resurrection around a miracle catch of fish and bread cooked over a fire
- In the book of Luke, there are 10 stories where Jesus is eating a meal with various people.
Nothing opens hearts more than a generously open and full table.
A FRESH START CULTURE is always a HOSPITABLE CULTURE
- A Growth Culture
Ephesians 4:14-16 MSG “No prolonged infancies among us, please. We’ll not tolerate babes in the woods, small children who are an easy mark for impostors. God wants us to grow up, to know the whole truth and tell it in love—like Christ in everything.
At Beyond Church we say that EVERYBODY has a next step! We are unapologetic about having an aggressive growth culture…
For us corporately, and for us as individuals. When our mission is one of eternal significance, where the eternal destiny of the human soul hangs in the balance...we build a “whatever it takes” kind of of culture!
Romans 8:15 MSG “This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next,
Q: What’s next for you, in this FRESH START season? What’s your next step? JOINING A LIFE GROUP, COMPLETING BEYOND BASICS, JOINING A TEAM, BEING IN THE ROOM?
- A Leadership Culture
Matthew 5:13-14 MSG “Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavours of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.
- You are meant to stand out - BRIGHT! - Not grey! - Church is only boring when we are boring!
- You are meant to be on the edge of innovation and community transformation
- The church needs to be the flavour of the month....it shouldn’t be a sour taste in the mouth of the community.
- You are meant to be brave - The first brush stroke is always to bravest!
- Be first, LEAD in your world....family, workplace - turn up first, stay late, ask what else you can do, go ABOVE and BEYOND.....
- You are meant to be vocal about the cause of the local church
I know that the next generation of leaders will be launched into significance from the leadership pipeline of the local church - The worlds greatest architects and educators, composers and politicians, business people and doctors, academics and artists all inspired, equipped and encouraged by the leadership greenhouse that is the local church.
A FRESH START CULTURE is always a LEADERSHIP CULTURE
- A Youth Culture
At Beyond Church we say that we will flourish from generation to generation.
Could it be that there is something supernatural at work in this environment, something intangible, something of the power of God at work, that if immersed in it for long enough, consistently enough.....it sets your kids up to flourish in life?
“A young church needs EVERY generation “ . . .
Psalm 119:90 Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created.
The faithfulness of God extends to every generation ONLY as we extend our hand to the generations to come.
Older people....We need to be lifting up, not holding back. Our role is to be the cheer squad, championing on those growing in their faith journey and their gift. We don’t need the maturity police.....
Young people....1 Timothy 4:12 NLT Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
What’s the culture of YOUR life today?
- Do you know Jesus?
- Are you living a generous life?
- Do you have an aggressive growth agenda?
- Are you leading in all area of your life?
- Are you championing the generations to come?
This is the FRESH START CULTURE that FAVOUR will ALWAYS FOLLOW!
Q: Want to take your FIRST STEP into YOUR FRESH START TODAY?
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen
When Fresh Starts Grow Stale
When fresh starts stall
When fresh starts stagnate
When fresh starts fizzle
When fresh starts flounder
When fresh starts fall over
Q: “What FRESH START have you been praying and believing God for over this series ‘favour follows fresh starts?’”
Health, healing, finances, business, school, relationships, family, addictions, friend or family member to know Jesus!
Q: What do we do when our Fresh Start Grows Stale?
- Remain Faithful
James 1:2-4MSG
“Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.”
Hebrews3:14NLT
“For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.”
Faithful with your family
- put your marriage first
- Put your kids first
Faithful with your finances
- Practice Kingdom first finance
- Tithing / Seeding / Saving / Spending
Faithful with your faith
- put God First / prayer + bible
- put church first - gathering + life groups
- put others first (growing in your faith by serving on a team..
Faithfulness in these areas positions you to step into a new season, a fresh start...
2. Reflect on His Faithfulness
BUT without the power of perspective every fresh start grows stale...
Whoever you are, God is saying to you right now...look at how fresh things are for you TODAY! Look at how far I have brought you already....
Philippians 1:6 TPT
“I pray with great faith for you, because I’m fully convinced that the One who began this glorious work in you will faithfully continue the process of maturing you and will put his finishing touches to it until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ!”
God is putting some FINISHING TOUCHES on your FRESH START today...this week.
What you thought was growing stale is in fact the very fresh start you’ve been praying for!
3. 10X (Refresh YOUR Faith)
What are you believing God for?
“Sometimes our fresh start grows stale because we’ve grown stale....”
Psalms66:5TPT
”Everyone will say, “Come and see the incredible things God has done; it will take your breath away! He multiplies miracles for his people!”
I wonder if your FRESH START is the kind of fresh start that will take people’s breath away?
A multiple miracles kind of fresh start?
I want to give you permission right now to refresh your faith! Let’s ask God for more.
For a home? Why not an investment portfolio
For a school friend to know Jesus? Why not your entire class?
For a promotion? Why not a new business
For relief from the pain of a bad back? Why not for total and complete healing?
Community impact and influence? Why national or global impact?
Your Fresh Start might need to be 10X
I want to offer someone the opportunity to step into the freshest start of them all...your stale, dry and broken life has an opportunity right now to become fresh, alive and healed. Your fresh start can start today by inviting Jesus into your life....
1 Corinthians 1:26-31MSG
Everything that we have—right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start—comes from God by way of Jesus Christ.
If this is what you have been believing for today... pray this prayer after me...
[YTJ] [SLIDE 10]
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen
What is something FRESH you would like to start this week?
In which area of your life have you seen God’s faithfulness?
- Family
- Finance
- Health
- All of the above
Are you still praying and believing for breathtaking miracles?
- Yes
- No
What is God wanting to TURN AROUND in your life to make room for a fresh start?
-
The turnaround – in this story the plans of Haman (the world) become totally disrupted and turned upside down in order to bring freedom for God’s people. Mordecai eventually takes the place Haman had built for himself- It’s only possible to turn things around when you can acknowledge that they need to change- Some examples: your health, your financial management, your schedule, your family relationships, your marriage, your friendship group, your business- No shame, just acknowledging there are things to turn around and asking God to help you do so- God is in the business of turning things around (he uses the foolish things to confound the wise), just further confirmation that YOU WERE MADE FOR THIS- 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 MSG – Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don’t see many of “the brightest and the best” among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families. Isn’t it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these “nobodies” to expose the hollow pretensions of the “somebodies”? That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God. Everything we have – right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a FRESH START – comes from God by way of Jesus Christ.What’s the turnaround timeline? - God’s timing is usually not OUR timing
-
What’s the turnaround time on your fresh start? Your breakthrough? The pursuit of your big dream?- What’s the turnaround time for that?- God’s ways are not our ways, we need to TRUST that He will turn things around when it’s best for us, He has the ultimate mountain top perspective which we can’t see- Isaiah 55:8-9 NLT – “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”- Be patient, we have to believe God is always good and always working things for good in order to see the upside down take place in our fresh startWhat does a TURNAROUND look like?
-
Use elements from the Esther story- Always involves community – Mordecai was able to use the influence he had in his community to gather them together to work toward their own freedom- Always involves asking for help – Mordecai asked for help from Esther for the sake of the cause – we must never be timid to ask for help when it serves the cause of seeing oppressed people set free and building the local church- Always involves taking a next step without necessarily knowing what the step after that will be – Esther had to be bold and brave enough to ask for an audience with the king, knowing what had happened to the last queen who had not followed the custom of the kingdom and with many variable responses to that request at play- Always involves saying YES to Jesus
YOU WERE MADE FOR THIS
Who knows if perhaps you were made…for just such a time as this? Esther 4:14 NLT
Your fresh start is on the other side of believing God’s word for you tonight: YOU WERE MADE FOR THIS
Esther recap:
-
A story of bringing freedom to God’s oppressed people
-
A set of unusual circumstances with unlikely results where God upturned the traditional power structures of the world to bring about change, freedom and equality
-
Don’t let your OFFENSES distract you from your CALLING
-
This story is so offensive to me; women being chosen on looks alone, drunk men using their power to make decisions that affect the lives of others, the evil corruption of oppressing another culture just because you can
-
I could easily get distracted by my rage at the injustices in this story and never be moved to take any action
-
What makes you angry? Passionate?
-
It’s time for God’s people to get PASSIONATE about some stuff!
-
Esther 4:14 NLT – If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other lace, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?
-
Don’t die the slow death of disillusionment or lack of direction. Now is the time to make a move toward your fresh start.
-
I’m passionate about:
-
If I get distracted by my anger at injustice, I’ll never actually DO anything to make a fresh start for myself and others
-
Do you know your place?
-
Queen Vashti is a hero to me, the world and traditional power structures told her she didn’t know her place, but I know she knew her REAL place
-
Do you know your place? Have you been told you’re not good enough, not qualified enough, not the right gender or age or race to be invited to take a seat at the table or make a contribution? The kingdom of heaven is the great leveller, bringing equality for all humans. You no longer need to meet the unrealistic expectations of the world to be invited to make a fresh start contribution to God’s kingdom
-
1 Peter 2:9 TPT – But you are God’s chosen treasure – priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience his marvellous light, and now he claims you as his very own. He did this so that you would broadcast his glorious wonders throughout the world.
-
The TIME to DECIDE is NOW
-
You have to BELIEVE you were created for such a time as this in order to RECEIVE your “for such a time as this” fresh start
YES TO JESUS
-
If you’re responding to the invitation to be used by God to bring equality and freedom to others in this unique time in history, type I BELIEVE
-
If you’re responding to God’s invitation to become part of His family and be put on mission to bring equality and freedom to others for the first time, type YES
The Promise, The Price and the Practice of Your Fresh Start
Psalm 72:6 TPT Your favour falls like rain on our surrendered, like showers reviving the earth.
Are you ready, prepared, excited about, the new opportunities that are coming to you a you move into this next season of 2020? This message series is all about ‘Favour Following Fresh Starts”…
I know that God has called us into a year of favour, and that this favour follows the fresh start that God has for us RIGHT NOW!
- The PROMISE of your FRESH START
Zechariah 10:1 NLT
Ask the Lord for rain in the spring,
for he makes the storm clouds.
And he will send showers of rain
so every field becomes a lush pasture.
Zechariah 10:6 MSG
“I’ll put muscle in the people of Judah; I’ll save the people of Joseph. I know their pain and will make them good as new. They’ll get a fresh start, as if nothing had ever happened. And why? Because I am their very own God, I’ll do what needs to be done for them. The people of Ephraim will be famous, their lives brimming with joy. Their children will get in on it, too— oh, let them feel blessed by God!
God has a pattern of bringing favourinto the lives of His Fresh Start People.
Your Fresh Start is on its way…You are the Fresh start people of God!
“What kind of FRESH START are you believing God for over the coming weeks?”
2. The PRICE of your FRESH START
Every Fresh Start has a fresh fee…
This is the time for us to count the cost..and prepare for favour, prepare for blessing…..make room for more in our lives.
Luke 14:33 MSG
“Simply put, if you’re not willing to take what is dearest to you, whether plans or people, and kiss it good-bye, you can’t be my disciple.
Luke 22:42TPT
“Father, if you are willing, take this cup of agony away from me. But no matter what, your will must be mine.”
Significant steps come at significant cost…
Your fresh start is on the other side of your surrender.
For a fresh start in my marriage, I have had to pay the price of time, attention, intentionality
For a fresh start with my health I have to pay the price of an early morning
For a fresh start in my relationship with Jesus I have had to pay the price of time reading the bible
For a fresh start in my emotional health I have had to pay the price of committing to my life group
For a fresh start in our church I have had to pay the price of leadership
What will your FRESH START cost you this week?
*3. The* PRACTICE of your FRESH START?****
“I have believed the promise, I have paid the price….How do I LIVE/PRACTICE a FRESH START LIFE
A lesson in Practising your FERSH START in 3 easy steps….
Step 1 is a yes to the fresh start catalyst and His name is Jesus.
Step 2 is a yes to the fresh start community which is Jesus’ church
Step 3 is a yes to the fresh start calling which is Jesus’ mission for you!
If you want to live, in the FRESH START FAVOUR of God…..then a daily, Yes to Jesus, a daily commitment to community and a daily response to God’s call on your life, is the practice that will keep you there.
The FAVOUR on YOUR life is for the revival of OTHERS… PSALM 72:6 TPT says God's favour will fall on YOUR life - BUT it REVIVES the ENTIRE earth!!
[YTJ]
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen
Favour Follows Fresh Starts
Let's embrace this God given opportunity to start fresh, and see FAVOUR FOLLOW us into our new beginnings.....
2 Corinthians 5:14-20 (MSG)
14-15 Our firm decision is to work from this focused center: One man died for everyone. That puts everyone in the same boat. He included everyone in his death so that everyone could also be included in his life, a resurrection life, a far better life than people ever lived on their own. 16-20 Because of this decision we don’t evaluate people by what they have or how they look. We looked at the Messiah that way once and got it all wrong, as you know. We certainly don’t look at him that way anymore. Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a FRESH START, is created new.
Everybody's first step to a fresh start is a life united with Jesus.
YES TO JESUS
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen
Our theme verse for this year sets up our next step, on our journey to a fresh start.
Psalm 72:6 TPT
Your favour will fall like rain upon our surrendered lives, like showers reviving the earth.
Fresh starts are always preceded by surrednered lives.
3 STEPS TO A FRESH START - 3 AREAS OF OUR LIVES TO SURREDNER TO JESUS
1. Fresh Thoughts - Surrender OLD Thinking
Romans 12:2 NLT
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
When was the last time you had a God inspired thought, a FRESH thought.....that didn't simply follow the pattern of the ways things have always been, but had the mark of heaven on it?
Proverbs 23:7 TPT
For as he thinks within himself, so is he.
2. Fresh Wins - Surrender OLD Strategies
2 Corinthians 2:14 MSG.
In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade.
God has victory waiting for you wherever you are!
Joshua 1:3 NLT
“I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you—
Joshua 6:1-5 MSG
1Jericho was shut up tight as a drum because of the People of Israel: no one going in, no one coming out. 2-5 God spoke to Joshua, “Look sharp now. I’ve already given Jericho to you, along with its king and its crack troops. Here’s what you are to do: March around the city, all your soldiers. Circle the city once. Repeat this for six days. Have seven priests carry seven ram’s horn trumpets in front of the Chest. On the seventh day march around the city seven times, the priests blowing away on the trumpets. And then, a long blast on the ram’s horn—when you hear that, all the people are to shout at the top of their lungs. The city wall will collapse at once. All the people are to enter, every man straight on in.”
[PRAY] God strategies over your life. - let go of old methods and models....
3. Fresh Vision - Surrender OLD Blindness
Ephesians 5:8 TPT
Once your life was full of sin’s darkness, but now you have the very light of our Lord shining through you because of your union with him. Your mission is to live as children flooded with his revelation-light!
Fresh vision for your life is on the other side of your wilinges to embrace your life's purpose....which is to live ON MISSION with Jesus!
Surrender the question "what on earth am I here for" and embrace the FRESH vision God has for you....Step up into a life on MISSION with Jesus!
TAKE THEM BY THE HAND
Leading Your Kids To Greatness
Ephesians 6:4 MSG
“Fathers, don’t exasperate your children by coming down hard on them. Take them by the hand and lead them in the way of the Master.”
OK, so I don’t want to exasperate, antagonise, irritate, stir up, inflame.....my kids....I want to ‘take them by the hand’...but once I’ve got them....what do I do with them!?
The 3 Power moves that you can apply whilst taking your kids by the hand...that will lead your children into greatness.
1. Bank Their Wins!
God calls PARENTS to the task of banking our kid’s wins! I am not talking about financial deposits, but words of life deposited into our children’s lives...
Proverbs 25:25 TPT
“Like a drink of cool water to a weary, thirsty soul, so hearing good news revives the spirit.”
Proverbs 15:30 TPT
“Eyes that focus on what is beautiful bring joy to the heart, and hearing a good report refreshes and strengthens the inner being.”
“What are you depositing into the lives of your children?”
3 Ways to ‘Bank Their Wins’
-
THANK your kids for being amazing! (I’m so proud of you, I’m so thankful for you, This family wouldn’t be the same without you).
-
EMPOWER your kids with an OPPORTUNITY - lift your expectations of them....believe in them....(let them fail)
-
INSPIRE your kids with a “WHAT’S NEXT” (speak HS inspired God destiny over their life) Let’s make these WINS ‘God MOMENTS’ not just ‘good moments’
2. Build Their Bridges
Proverbs 13:20 MSG
“Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces.”
Who are your kids walking with?
Who’s sitting around your table?
Who do you invite into your world, and who’s world are you invited into?
.”Who you are WITH.....is who you BECOME!”
This is GOOD news.....We can choose who we are with! God callsparents to the task of building bridges for your kids to connect with the people you want your kids to emulate!
3 Ways to Build Their Bridges
-
Bring them to church, kids, youth, services.
-
Invite them to serve, youth, services.
- Widen their world. You need to be with people that are further ahead then you, living larger than you, people that call you into you ‘What’s next?!”
Some bridges need be burnt
- burn their bridges / cut toxic people off! There is a big world out their full of big people who want to champion your family into greatness...don’t give any oxygen to anybody who isn’t on your team (well, how will we hear constructive feedback?...well, your good friends are giving it to you!)
3.Break Their Chains
Ephesians 1:7,11 MSG
7 “Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! [...] 11 It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for.
In Ephesians 6:4 Paul calls dads, calls parents to lead their children. Q: “Where are you leading your children?”
“You can not lead where you have not been”
If you want break the chains of guilt, shame, low self-esteem and insecurity, off the life of your child....If you want to lead your kids into freedom, you need to be free.
ONE way to Break YOUR Chains
- Say Yes To Jesus -
[YTJ]
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen
The 5 Mistakes That Husbands MakeEphesians 5:25 NLT
“For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her”
- I Made Marriage All About Me
Philippians 2:3 NLT
'Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. '
I knew that I was getting this wrong because evern though I'd work on my stuff, whenever things felt out of control, I would assume control....Because i felt insecure....Everyting was about me.
This response to my own insecurity never brings stability or leadership to the family, it brings control and manipulation.
Here is the truth. I can't actually know where I am getting it wrong, because I am inherently flawed and broken and selfish...I need to ask, and I need to listen to the the answers....from my wife.....and from other....
We also need to ask OTHERS...
2. I Kept Our Issues In The Dark
A healthy marriage is an open marriage - not shut
I thought that crisis would cure itself, that tensions would work themselves out, and that time would heal all wounds.... all of those ideas are completely unhelpful.
I have found that the key to moving our marriage forward is to be accountable to community.
Life Groups
Teams
Church
If these key elements are missing in your life, you are heading for trouble....but the GOOD NEWS is that these 3 things are easy to prioritise.
- I Thought I Could Make a Marriage Like I Bake a Cake
A healthy marriage is one where I pay attention to it.
Gettign stuck might sound like “you always do that when I try to speak to you about work” ... “You never acknowledge that it’s your fault we ended up here” or “you’re always saying that about me” etc .... when the TRUTH is those ALWAYS and NEVERS died 10 years ago. But I’m stuck. But things have changed, my wife has changed.... and I need to see my wife for the person she is TODAY!!
Let’s not burn each other, by not paying attention to the new peron that God is shaping, right in front of our eyes!
4. I Chose To Endure My Marriage Instead Of Enjoy It.
Psalms 16:11
'You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.'
My commitment to work, is not always about work, it is often about hiding from family and particularly my responsibilities as a husband.
We are not at our best, in any area if our lives, when we can’t enjoy time with one another.
“Kids are for a season but your spouse is for a lifetime”
We don’t want to get to the end of our season of parenting only to discover that we’ve fallen out of love with one another.
What is soemthing fun you could you do this week to enjoy some time together?
5. I Made Jesus My Last Resort Not My First Call.
Matthew 11:28-30 TPT
'“Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”'
Who is your first call in a crisis?
Every relationship will undergo pressure, tension and stress.
The truth is that families, in all their varied forms, are actually God’s tool to bring heaven to earth.
Tonight Jesus wants heaven to be brought to bear in your life.
It doesn’t matter what your marriage / family looks like right now, Jesus wants to be invited into it, and when He is, He will begin to bring His forgiveness and His hope with Him.
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen
Genesis 1:26-28 NLT 26
Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
27 So God created human beings in his own image.
In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”
The kind of POWER God has in mind for this FIRST power couple is not a ‘masculine’ POWER but a masculine PLUS feminine, POWER. It is ONLY this kind of shared participation in representing God’s POWER that truly reflects the character and nature of GOD!****
This FIRST POWER COUPLE were promised FRUITFULNESS, MULTIPLICATION, and AUTHORITY over all that was in their hand....
[THE SOURCE OF THIER POWER]
Genesis 2:18 NIV
“The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.””
THE WORD HELPER - ezer is combined with the word kenegdo which means “a helper of the same nature,” Everything about this descriptor implies mutuality and harmony, it clearly demonstrates what the ideal relationship between a man and a woman might look like, It is the picture of a TRUE POWER PARTNERSHIP.
[PROMISE] There is a promise in this Genesis story, for us as a husbands and wives, mums and dads sons and daughters..
.."When we chose to reflect God's ideal for our PARTNERSHIPS we can expect to see HIS POWER at work through THEM!!"
[TENSION] What if our marriages, our partnerships, our family relationships don't look like this IDEAL that God is calling us into...???
What if there is a power imbalance OR what is there is confusion about our roles in our relationship?
How to Power Up Your Partnership!
- Power Up Your Purpose
Philipians 2:3 TPT
Be free from pride-filled opinions, for they will only harm your cherished unity. Don’t allow self-promotion to hide in your hearts, but in authentic humility put others first and view others as more important than yourselves.
This is all about cheering your partner on toward the greatness that God has on their life...irrespective of the their gender...
[STORY] My struggle with Rachel powering ahead as an elected councillor, deputy, mayor...our marriage became stronger once I stopped challenging this success and started cheering her on!
Maybe you’ve squashed the dreams of your partner??? Let's give each other permission to dream again, as a family, re-imagine our purpose, lets champion each other on...in Jesus name!
- Power Up Your Praise
Ephesians 4:29 TPT
And never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful gifts that encourage others; do this by speaking words of grace to help them.
Proverbs 18:21 TPT
'Your words are so powerful that they will kill or give life, and the talkative person will reap the consequences.'
Tonight you have the power and the agency and the opportunity to totally shift the trajectory of your family...You can use your words to change the course of your POWER partnership!
- Power Up Your Prayer
Matthew 18:19-20 TPT
Again, I give you an eternal truth: If two of you agree to ask God for something in a symphony of prayer, my heavenly Father will do it for you. For wherever two or three come together in honour of my name, I am right there with them!”
DO want God to be right there with you in the middle of your partnership? Pray together!
God wants you to experience a season of miralces in your family! Pray together!
The MOST powerful prayer you can prayer is to invite Jesus to bring the power of forgivenss, restoration, and wholeness into you life.
Family Goals and Gender Roles
Overarching narrative of the entire bible...is this one...INCLUSION...Jesus brings us together into a NEW KINGDOM family....
Galatians 3:28 NLT
'There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. '
So why do some verses in Ephesians seem *to contradict that?*
The book of Ephesians is one of the STRONGEST arguments written, which actually works to undo the role of male headship in the family unit....in fact it actually undoes any one person having a position of power in the family unit!
Household Code (power of the Roman Empire) - Paul's Bait and Switch
Paul is saying...
Jesus is the head of our families - full STOP! The Holy Spirit came and DEMOCRATIZED- ALL power - and we can only reach our FAMILY GOALS if we live lives FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT....!
Ephesians 5:21-25
https://my.bible.com/bible/116/EPH.5.21-25
'And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything. For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her '****
TAKE AWAY - This text speaks to us all TODAY...it it is saying the same thing to US as it did to THEM....Let Jesus' power govern your family....a Holy Spirit empowered family changes the world!!
Q: So at a practical level What have been some of the challenges you have faced building and leading your family and outwork your calling?

NT Wright -
FAMILY GOALS
YOUR FUTURE FAMILY
UNPACK THE HOW OF SETTING GOALS AND WRITING A VISION:
- Get help
- First, from the Holy Spirit. The book of Ephesians is full of reminders that God has given us an everyday helper. And not just any everyday helper, but one who will infuse us with supernatural power to complete natural things if we let him. If you’ve never invited the holy spirit to be active in your life, I will give you the opportunity in a few minutes.
- Ephesians 4:16 TPT – And I pray that he would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favour until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power.
- Also, get practical help: if your marriage needs help, get some counselling. If your parenting needs some help, talk to a parent who inspires you or read a book. Asking for help is a superpower, not a weakness.
- Expect greatness, BUT….
- We should absolutely set high expectations when we are crafting a family vision and setting goals for our future
- Our family is worth the fight, remember?
- Our freedom to build an inspirational family has been won at a great price by Jesus himself. We are included as members of God’s own household, so why would we expect anything but greatness as we build?
- Ephesians 4:1-2 TPT – I plead with you to walk holy, in a way that is suitable to your high rank, given to you in your divine calling. With tender humility and quiet patience, always demonstrate gentleness and generous love toward one another, especially toward those who may try your patience.
- Extend grace
- Greatness is wonderful to aspire to, but we must always remember we will never achieve perfection
- Ephesians 2:7-9 TPT – Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite, limitless riches of his grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ. For it was only through this wonderful grace that we believed in him. Nothing we did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the gracious gift from God that brought us to Christ! So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving.
- Take a load off if you feel like you’re failing to achieve your goals or vision! Of course, keep being consistent and following through and maintaining high expectations, but remember to apply grace also when those expectations aren’t met, either by YOURSELF, your partner, your kids, your parents, your siblings, whoever you’re in family relationship with
- Family goals need to be SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-based)
- Bank the wins
- Life is no fun if we’re always reaching toward the next (our vision and goals) and never celebrating what’s been
- Take the parenting win and give yourself a pat on the back
- Take the partnering win and show each other some gratitude for small steps toward the greater goal
- Ephesians 3:20 TPT – Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energises you.
YES TO JESUS
Ephesians 2:13 TPT – Although you were once distant and far from God, now you have been brought delightfully close to him through the sacred blood of Jesus – you have actually been united to Christ!
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross to pay the price for my sin
I invite you to be my saviour
Come into my life
Forgive my sin
And fill me with the power of your holy spirit
Amen
How To Form Up Your Firm Foundation
2020 Theme "Finding Favour"
Psalm 72:6 TPT 'Your favour will fall like rain upon our surrenred lives, like showers reviving the earth."
Favour Follows Firm Foundations -
Foundations ARE NOT FIRST when it comes to laying firm foundations in our life....THE FIRST step is to prepare the formwork...
This is a season to start carving out a new foundation for our lives
....but BEFORE you pour the concrete of the new foundation for your life .....PRESS PAUSE
... you risk having a solid, immovable foundation....that might not be FIRM...it could possibly be FRAGILE....which will not bear the load as you embark into this new season of your life..
Matthew 7:24-27 TPT
“Everyone who hears my teaching and applies it to his life can be compared to a wise man who built his house on an unshakable foundation. When the rains fell and the flood[a] came, with fierce winds beating upon his house, it stood firm because of its strong foundation. “But everyone who hears my teaching and does not apply it to his life can be compared to a foolish man who built his house on sand. When it rained and rained and the flood came, with wind and waves beating upon his house, it collapsed and was swept away.”****
This text shows us that there are FOUNDATIONS...and there are FIRM FOUNDATIONS.....to make sure we are building our lives upon a FIRM foundation........lets spend some time forming it up....
Are you ready to FORM UP YOUR FIRM FOUNDDATION?
How To Form Up Your Firm Foundation
- RAILS
This is what keeps our foundations - square, true, right and secure.....**
Rails are the immovables, non-negotiables,****
= spiritual disciplines - reading the bible / prayer /
= budgeting our time / budgeting our finances /
= managing our emotional and physical health
- REO - Reinforcement
This is what keeps our foundations strong! It is the reinforcement of our lives....
Proverbs 27:17 NLT As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
= community = servcies + life group + team
- REST
A firm foundation takes time to set...."dont rush the build...."
Fragile foundations ...look ready, and even carry some initial structure, but a rushed foundation is a fraglie foundation (word for somebody....youre in a hurry, youre rushng and building and adding to your world....you don'y ever seem to find contentment...stop building and start RESTING...in your relationship with Jesus...
Matthew 11:28-30 TPT
“Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me.I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle,humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”
Yest To Jesus
Jesus, this is my decision.
Today I say yes to you.
You died on the cross
to pay the price for my sins.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life,
forgive my sin
and fill me with the power of your Holy Spirit.
Amen.
CULTURE CARRIERS OR CRISIS CARRIERS
In a season of CRISIS Do I carry culture THE culture of heaven or do I carry the crisis?
Job 36:15-16 NLT - Elihu
But by means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer.
For he gets their attention through adversity.
“God is leading you away from danger, Job,
to a place free from distress.
He is setting your table with the best food.
The rescue is in the suffering....
This season is an attention getting play by God...
God uses crisis to lead people AWAY from danger and distress.....into abundance, blessing and favour......
God is still leading people....are we still leading people to God in this crisis?
Leaders are culture carriers not crisis carriers
How do I know what I am carrying? Becasue what I carry determines, how far I can travel and who I can support along the journey......
CARRY THESE 4 THINGS....IN A CRISIS CARRY THE CULTURE OF LOVE....
LOVE
James (Jacob) 1:7-8 TPT
“When you are half-hearted and wavering it leaves you unstable. Can you really expect to receive anything from the Lord when you’re in that condition?”
am I WHOLE HEARTEDLY am I preferring others in a crisis...is this season STILL all about reaching, loving and prefer others over ourselves...or have I moved to self preservation. “I just need to make it through this” or “once this is over then....”
CRISIS CARRIERS - Complicated people who have no grace for each other or for leadership....
CULTURE CARRIERS - Uncomplicated people, stable in their ways and have grace for others and leadership in crisis.
Let’s be culture carriers by being UNCOMPLICATED - ACUTELY FOCUSED - WHOLE HEARTEDLY on mission with Jesus CARRYING the culture of LOVE not carrying CRISIS.
INSPIRATION
CULTURE CARRIERS - WILL inspire HOPE, VISION and PURPOSE in the middle of crisis.
CRISIS CARRIERS - SUCK the HOPE, VISION and PURPOSE tou tof every situation and PERSON in a CRISIS....
Proverbs 18:20-21 TPT
“Sharing words of wisdom is satisfying to YOUR inner being. It encourages you to know that you’ve changed someone else’s life. Your words are so powerful that they will kill or give life, and the talkative person will reap the consequences.”****
CARRYING the culture of INSPIRATION actually inspires YOU!!!
FUN
Crisis carriers love to be the fun police in time’s like these.....
But CULTURE carriers know that FUN brings health, energy and endurance to a crisis.
Proverbs 17:22 TPT
“A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul. But the one whose heart is crushed struggles with sickness and depression.”
EXCELLENCE
Isn’t being the best - it is doing the best, with what we have.....
so when WHAT we have changes ... EXCELLENCE changes.
When the many who carry much become the few who carry more, we have to adjust or we will break.....
CULTURE CARRIERS are ok with some of things that used to be really important to (ME)...now not being important to ANYTHING!
CULTURE CARRIERS are ok with some things that were never important to (me)....now being the only things that matter! (Phone calls, social media)
THE ONLY thing that matters in the middle of a crisis is who you are in it WITH! The truth is that you were never meant to CARRY anything on your own...and there is a man who came to SAVE you from the birden of this season and every season....His name is Jesus
PRAYER
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen
Foundations For Revival
The message series we are preaching through this season is 'Favour Follows Firm Foundations'
Psalm 72:6
Your favour will fall like rain upon our surrendered lives, like showers reviving the earth.
DON'T LET THIS SEASON BE ONE OF ‘JUST SURVIVAL’....LET'S CHOOSE TODAY FOR IT TO BE A SEASON OF REVIVAL!
The the bible teaches us that we can lay a foundation for that REVIVAL to become a reality for us....
ARE YOU READY FOR REVIVAL?
3 FOUNDATIONS FOR REVIVAL...
- Revival Always Starts With Salvation
Acts 3:19 MSG
Now it’s time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you, and send you the Messiah he prepared for you, namely, Jesus.
"Say yes to Jesus"
- Revival is Always caught in community
Acts 2:46:47 MSG
They followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful, as they praised God. People in general liked what they saw. Every day their number grew as God added those who were saved.
What does that look like? (NOTHING HAS CHANGED)
Be in the room - virtual room - Be present and engage with others....
Be on a team - virtual team - This is how you can serve, how we can keep reaching people, keep growing, keep raising leaders and inspiring our community.
1. Share this service to your social media world
2. Share your story - tell people about your faith community experience and how it builds your life and the life of your family
Be in a life group - virtual life groups - Your life group is your life boat....
- Revival is fuelled by fire
1 Thessalonians 5:19
Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit.
Paul's letter was somewhat addressing this impatience of a church expecting Jesus to return any day....Paul was bringing encouragement around what to do in the waiting........Keep the fire burning...Revival is fuelled by fire....
What is fuelling your FIRE, in this season of isolation?
Feeling impatient, worn out, tired, frustrated, empty or powerless, living the ISO life....let's pray, RIGHT NOW, and ask God to fill our lives with the Power of the Holy Spirit!
Invite the Holy Spirit to set your life on fire
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen
Favour Follows First Things First - A Generous Life
Psalm 72:6 TPT
Your favour will fall like rain upon our surrendered lives, like showers reviving the earth.
Big Idea: A first things first kind of person plans to make room for intentional generousity in their finances. They will invest, over and above their tithe, into Kingdom building projects or causes that they believe God has called them to support.
Q: Did you know that God desires for you, AND has designed you to live a large, growing, blessed and prosperous life?...It is, in fact, hard wired into the DNA of humanity...
Genesis 1:28 NLT “Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it.**
Q: Did you know God's dream is for His people is to see them growing, expanding and leading in every sphere of their lives...this includes our FINACIAL WORLD!
Deuteronomy 28:8 MSG
“GOD will order a blessing on your barns and workplaces; he’ll bless you in the land that GOD, your God, is giving you.”
If it is in my DNA to lived a blessed life..if it is an order or COMMAND of God to bless my life...If this IS the PROMISE of God for my life...then what is premise that precedes this promise?****
Proverbs 11:24 MSG
The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller.
How do I live a generous life?
1. Pray For It
Matthew 7:7-11
“Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing. You’re at least decent to your own children. So don’t you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?
2. Plan For it
2020 - Vision Offering: this year we are MERGING our Mission and Vision offerings to be one super generous Above and Beyond offering which will be used for: overseas mission in Vietnam, church planting another new church, capital works at our locations - Offering Goal: $50,000
2020 Vision Offering will be received in AUGUST, but we can begin TODAY praying and planning about how we can make an Over and Above GENEROUS contribution to this Kingdom Building Vision.
3. Persist In It
What do we do when we sow seeds of generosity, but there seems to be a delay in the harvest?
I wonder when you have been discouraged, or disappointed by the delay you have seen in ther eturn on your Kingdom generosity...?
The reality is that delay is synonimous with sowing (ask the farmer)
BUT the reality is that HARVEST is ALSO synonymous with sowing
Galatians 6:7-10 TPT “Make no mistake about it, God will never be mocked! For what YOU plant will always be the very thing YOU harvest. The harvest you reap reveals the seed that was planted. If you plant the corrupt seeds of self-life into this natural realm, you can expect to experience a harvest of corruption. If you plant the good seeds of Spirit-life you will reap the beautiful fruits that grow from the everlasting life of the Spirit. And don’t allow yourselves to be weary or disheartened in planting good seeds, for the season of reaping the wonderful harvest you’ve planted is coming! Take advantage of every opportunity to be a blessing to others, especially to our brothers and sisters in the family of faith!”**
A harvest of FAVOUR is falling for those of us who CHOOSE to live A GENEROUS LIFE!
