After a somewhat different morning service, Ps Sean rounds off the morning with a heartfelt message about the importance of Unity in the church and how this will bring peace to our troubled land. Our hearts should be bound together with the Holy Spirit. The church should be a picture to the world of what Unity should look like. Only then will the world look to us for answers....

Ps Andy concludes his three part series on God's anointing upon our lives. We believe that the anointing is the presence of power and the ability of a supernatural Creator - God. But it's not just in heaven, but also now on Earth for the good of man. In previous weeks we've been looking at the purpose of the anointing and how we, as God's people can see an increase of the anointing God's anointing in our lives. Not just when we're in church on Sunday but in the workplace and everywhere we go. God is raising a very anointed Church to turn the world upside down. The news may be darker but actually this is the moment where God causes his church to be the salt and the light he's called us to be. This is not by our own ability, but by His anointing within and upon our lives. We are God's contact points on the earth that he wants to do things through.

Listen as Ps Andy further unwraps this subject with biblical examples challenging us to move away from our comfort zones and respond to God's calling. God does not call the equipped. moreover, he equips the called....with His anointing!

This is part 2 of the series on increasing the anointing in our lives. The anointing means the presence and power and ability of an unstoppable God being present (in us). Pastor Andy continues to unwrap this exciting subject, revealing how the Holy Spirit is present in order to do things in us and through us. We are all people in position to do God's works. We must also realize we are also temples of the Holy Spirit.

Ps Andy continues to speak about what happens for us and also for others as God's anointing flows in our lives.

Pastor Andy begins a series of three messages speaking about God's Anointing in our lives. What is the anointing? How does it affect our life? Where does it come from? What does the anointing have to do? Specifically, Andy wants to speak about how to increase the flow of the anointing in our lives because God wants us to know the flow of His anointing.

He begins by referencing the familiar verses Isaiah 61:1 (NIV) The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoner......and; Luke 4:16-21 (NIV) He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

This is very much Jesus saying "I am the one anointed, I'm the one sent from God". An anointing is for the purposes of saving people and setting them free - the moment Jesus stepped into Ministry (fulfilling the purpose of God on Earth).

Ps Andy speaks further on this explaining how Anointing from God is not just about miracles but also very much the ability and the power of God to do what he requires of us. Anointing always serves a purpose...a need and also to live in obedience to Christ.

Ps Jaron delivers a superb messaged about the blessings we have and the anointing there is upon us from our Lord.

Ps Steu speaks about the power of Yes. He breaks this into four areas along with personal anecdotes and scriptural references showing how 'yes' is the answer to being aligned with and serving God. The'yes' also usually results in changes that create a 'no' in other areas of our lives.

1 Samuel 17:32 (NIV) says "David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.” Here we see how a 'yes' committed David.

Matthew 4:19-20 (NIV) says “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him. This 'yes' caused action to take place...they immediately left their nest and followed Him..

A 'yes' creates shift in our lives...sometimes to a place entirely out of our comfort zone. The 'yes' of Simon, Andrew, James and John changed the course of their lives. They move from where they were to, where they where God wanted them to be.

Ps Steu's fourth 'Yes' is that a 'Yes' means a 'No'! 'Yes' to God will bring breakthrough in our lives. We become free of the things that once distracted us, deceived us, free of old ways and old habits, just by saying, "God, 'Yes', I'm gonna run hard after you". The more we burn for God, the less we will burn for the things of the world.

In summary, a 'Yes':-

• Commits us
• Causes Action
• Causes Shift
• Usually means No as well

A 'Yes' to God means

• Whole heartedly running after God
• Being fully committed to God's house not just as spectators
• Becoming servants in God's house
• Servants becoming stewards
• People who really take ownership and fully own their responsibilities

The bible tells us that in all our getting we should get wisdom. The question is where do we currently source our wisdom from? Do you know that God wants to give you His. The same wisdom Solomon knew is ours in Christ.

On this Father's Day, Ps Sean speaks about the characteristics of God, of the Father's Heart, often comparing our Lord's unfailing and unchanging nature to the very variable many of us experience from our own earthly Fathers.

Sean explains how God is unchanging, keep promises and above all is truly loving. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV) states "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres".

Everywhere where this scripture says 'love is ....', we can replace the word 'love' with 'God'. God is patient, God is kind.....and so on.

Ps Sean explains at length these and many more of the characteristics of the Heart of our Father God in a most challenging message.
