FOUNDATIONS: PT 3
1 Corinthians 13 is not a chapter for wedding ceremonies, it is a foundational understanding of the nature of God. It is a description of who God is and what his baseline demeanour is toward us. Love is the essential foundation for how to engage in the spiritual gifts of the Spirit properly. Without it, we’re just a noisy gong.
FOUNDATIONS: PT 2 — The Holy Spirit Brings The Kingdom In Us
The Holy Spirit is not only given to us to live in us as a deposit guaranteeing our salvation, He also wants to bring the kingdom of God in us, in the places within our heart and soul, our thoughts and emotions and behaviours that are resistant to the will and desire of God. In Heaven, God’s will is always done but in order for His kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven we need to be willing to yield the places of our will to his will. There are places in all of us where the kingdom is absent because it is being blocked by our will which exercises its own control and power. One of the foundational works of the Holy Spirit is to bring the kingdom in these areas of our inner life.
FOUNDATIONS: PT 1 - The Holy Spirit And The Kingdom Of God
The central message of Jesus and the apostles was the arrival of the kingdom of God. After his resurrection Luke tells us in Acts 1 that Jesus spent 40 days on earth proving that he rose from the dead and teaching them about the kingdom of God. In this first week we will discover what the kingdom is and the truth that the Holy Spirit wants to bring the kingdom to bear in us so that he can express the kingdom through us. The danger is that we can perceive the kingdom as a threat to our pride, security, comfort, need for control, insecurities etc.

Colossians #8
Colossians #8
In order to effectively deal with sin in our lives we need to understand the principles of spiritual authority and the interactions of our spirit, soul and body with the kingdom of heaven, the world and the kingdom of darkness. Because of Jesus, we have authority and victory in His name, but we need to understand how to spot the tactics of the flesh and enemy of God if we are going to apply the rule of Christ to every part of our lives.
Identity Matters
Identity Matters
Your identity matters. Who you believe you are, and who you choose to follow. Jesus came to set you free so that you could live out you’re full God-given identity and purpose, and he came to show you as a man dad it is entirely possible to see the kingdom of heaven come down.

Revival Nights #2 - Fall 2018
What does it take for you to come alive? God not only wants to work powerfully in and through us but he’s inviting us to partner with him in speaking to the dry bones and commanding them to come alive.
