I had that you're prepared for a stye in the eye.
Manchester Bun. B murder.
Jesus Name Church morning. Wonderful people. I'm looking at you. You are wonderful people. you might not feel wonderful but you are wonderful people and I'm going to look at the camera and you look at the campsite those were listening like to you all wonderful people to I'm going to press into something this morning. It's off the Easter. We will know what happened to East. I would imagine if you wanted to do Cycles, you be kind of you wondering if it would be really hot. Yep, we can. Millennial a to say, yes. And we can live in the truth so that we can live in the reality of Jesus.
There is a purpose to Resurrection unless we get hold of it and everything else we believe he's disconnected. Jesus Christ, went to the cross for you and for me and the cross for all of us. The current price of all wrongdoing. Anybody get things wrong this week. I'm putting my hand up yet. Already on his church this morning. I think everybody's hand went up and probably.
Have you ever said something? You wish you'd never said? Are you still up comic books when I was when I was a child? Some of you might remember the Beano will the 2nd or some of those other comic books and then they will go on online these days. But I did not probably would be the words that they said that. Sometimes we speak was and we wanted to be in a bubble that we can kind of shop back inside because we sometimes we say things were encouraging. Do you know what Christ died for all wrong? Doing wrong, words, wrong thinking, wrong actions? So I'm going to press it into a flame for this month as we come to the end of April. Next month will be next week will be my wow and I want to press it to Resurrection. Hope it is a good thing. Hope is a good thing. I'm going to hope for something. We have a different attitude to it.
If you're looking forward to a birthday coffee, if you have to go to Auntie's birthday coffee in and you know what, the food is going to be like and you'll think me and I don't really want to go. You'll go with an attitude with your head down and you'll go and everybody will know. You don't want to be that when we go hope in hopes that is up. And I want to Preston to Resurrection, hope and Resurrection purpose. John chapter 20 verse 21 and 22 says this, again. Jesus said, peace be with you. As the father has sent me. I am sending you and with that he breathed on them and said receive Holy spirit is not just about, it's a victory for all of us. Jesus, who won the victory? It's a victory for all of us and I love using the fries. Are we in Resurrection people? I'll be people living the truth. The resurrection Resurrection. The anything that has has the possibility to rise again. Anything? Anything? At all. Hope dreams even apology? Even if there are stories in the gospels, talk about Jesus, bringing others from Death to life. I'm not didn't just end with Jesus.
Men and women of Faith, pray and see. Some people come alive again.
Ginobili would not save two seats on our bottoms. We are not safe to have a nice time. We all saved, what for to be sent to go someone the church. Come? Come, yes. We'd like you to come but we also want to go If I said I want everyone in the room and I was supposed to go online. I want you to come to pray for someone to die. I want you to physically go and meet them and pray for them. Some of you might say, will do that much do in church, that's life.
A long prayer to have to be a PhD in Pratt.
I know because I've done my best live to watch. I've reached, I've gone out and resend and I'm not going to do something Jesus. Breathed the Holy Spirit on his disciples, sending them out to live life in all its fullest to send them out. With mission in mind that what is that? Resurrection purpose, that Resurrection puppies. Number one comes with peace. He gives us peace in travel times in a troubled world. Anybody makes a bold face tonight, anybody? How to unlock a Galaxy we need more.
Priest, doesn't mean nothing happens. He's sometimes he's a song, you can be in the midst of a storm and have peace. You could be in the midst of an argument and have peace, you could be in the midst of a fight and have peace. With God and God's with you and there's a section. Purpose, also means we have a purpose
The Wolf on his behalf in 2 Corinthians, 5:20 is not in the slides. In 2 Corinthians, 5 to represent him.
With power, he fills us with his holy spirit, to accomplish that purpose. So all we living like, Resurrection people. If somebody knocks you some difference in, you and me and I'm including myself this summer, I'm texting myself. Disruption.
When does the love Gloom?
What the message of Hope. The people noticed that we love people that maybe they wonder why we love them.
Needed. Who was full of Resurrection purpose and power the checks to Diane needs people who are full of resurrection power. Resurrection Life, flew out of the disciples slow down to the disciples into the communities, they touched
During mental, in Acts chapter 6. In those days, when the number of disciples were increasing, the hell has a list Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the hebraic Jews because the windows were being overlooked in the distribution of food. So, the 12 brothers and sisters. Choose 7, men for amongst you who are known to be full of the spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give pension to pray and the ministry of the word. This proposal met the whole group, they chose Stephen, A Man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit also have Philip Morris Nick, Cannon, semen, apartment, nice and Nicholas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented to the apostles and prayed and laid hands on them. So the word of God spread the number of disciples in Jerusalem, increased rapidly, and a large, number of priests became obedient to the faith. I want you to know, my mom, my mom said she needs food,
How do we love God? And why the winners going without food? Did you say something about points of men and women that were beacons is why I'm talking about taking this morning. Briefly they serve at tables because they wanted to free up the disciples to preach the word and pray.
What I want to say is that grossed need it. When you grow up and then you needs that maybe you didn't have before. Some of the Witnesses were being overlooked, the apostles realize they need help. They couldn't do it himself. I didn't want to neglect the important part of what we do, what we do. So what did they do? They appointed those who would suddenly filled with the holy spirit and wisdom? Beacons and not just help us help us and not just people who just got filled with the spirit and then we shall. We go the extra mile in 13 verse 8 to 10. It says, this has not given so much wine, not greedy for money. Holding the mystery of the fight with a pure conscience, but let these also first be tested, then let them service deacons being found blameless. Now, that's a pretty strong list of what we look for. We looking for respectability now qualified because I'm still learning anybody, I'm still learning and sometimes. Sometimes China Wok. Some of the top light.
I was off the music and I was off to my life. Your map of my life. And I decided to create a bit of a call to remind me to a wonderful. Then I was off the Highlight, the lowlights, the things that I maybe didn't like difficult things, that happen, things like we done. Did see, those kind of things, sickness. And then I was off the Highlight when I learn lessons. You know what? I went through that and then I looked at the older, I realize most of the times I let license wearing the difficult times. Most of the time. So, if you're in a difficult time, right now, if you go to challenge going on right now, get along. So, you know what, we care, your neighbor case, your mom, your dad, your a people care, and they want to show that castle one of the reasons. And I hate this. When it happens, when somebody tells you about a difficult thing that's going on in the week, I'll give you an example, which one that sticks in my mind. I ring Brett's Grandma now with the Lord. I remember going around to visit for a house. I needed to get to the hospital. Now I couldn't get that but she struggled to get that shoots in the bus was cancelled.
Do you know what church sometimes, it's okay to ask for help. It's okay to ask for help. So when especially when somebody comes this, is there anything I can do that kind of help you in any way to die? It's just something I can pray for. You know what? When we get off to do things that we do not have the capacity to cover, we do not have the capability to deal with it, or we don't have the resources to be able to do with that, to drive, a straight to fry, not to shame. When I see someone with a broken down car, I'm thinking, what, what can I offer? You could probably help, but I can, but I still want to see like, if maybe it's actually, they just just need some water in that in the radiator. Well, I could do that. I can fill out. What? I can give you some more than I could do. That kind of stuff. But you know what, unless we ask we will never find out and if we don't find out then we won't know what to pray about. I'm going to be when we run out of ourselves, then we running to go, we run into a tent full volume. Full of his provision, and his purpose. So that's what we need to be. We need to be servants. Who will serve one another in a couple weeks. I'm worried about who are with us. They're going to be the likeliest conference this weekend coming up and also climb came through as well and climb and Annabelle ideas. We know them well and we had them by 3, but they haven't met 45 years just never, will around the world doing different things, at different times in my front room.
Divine appointment, fantastic. And we talked a little bit about to be putting Jonathan has deacons in a couple of weeks to unlock next Sunday, with the following Sunday, men and women who are respectful, respectable spiritually, mature, trustworthy self-control sometimes. But you know what we need, resurrection power, but we also need structure and strength, we are going to grow as a check there. All room for people to come and join us. We're doing Mission together with some Jones at the beginning of June just over a month away. And I was just thinking, what happens if I owe my goodness? What are we going to do? Do you know what the deacons models, and what the disciples models? They muddled a couple of things in in Romans 8:11. Did I put that in there? Thank you. But if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies, through his Spirit who dwells in.
China Wok is nothing more exciting than meeting with God and being filled with the spirit. In his presence. I could be exhausted that have been times in my life when I've been completely exhausted and I'm spent five ten minutes, we got his presence has filled me and I've walked back out of the room ready to go again. Anybody not slept. Well, recently, you know what, the best thing you can do and it's probably the last thing you want to do in that moment is pry, seek. God's presents are praying when you tell, I pray when you had a bad night, maybe I have some night medicine, not toes and that kept you awake and well, that's a more important reason to pray. Because being filled with the spirit will carry us into the day and there's nothing better than having somebody. So there's something different in you to die this. Something different is you to, like, what is it? You can say is just got it, working me. Because God has work in us. Will give us a love which is more than we have ourselves. He will fill us up. Sometimes we have to give love to people, maybe we don't want to love them. All right. I'm in scripture talks about loving your enemies. I just love your enemies and we run our love for our children and families in rhyme friends or enemies. Wow, that's a tough one.
Call ICE Dave of himself, he gave of himself and more. We read as he died on the cross that young blood. Flo's. Do you know there's a joy in serving one another? I sometimes come to the end of a busy day of doing stuff and in doing that stuff, I think thank you Lord. You've helped me and you didn't do it because it was anything like you empowered me to do this. Jesus empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve and to rise up and 7 to go. Resurrection, sends out some to preach some to lead, some to save some to be frightful some to just bless others. Some to be conduit through others. In one piece of four verse 10, he says, each of, you should use whatever gift you have, received to serve, others as faithful stewards of God's grace, and its various forms. Some of you are talented, talkin to people. Not everybody is comfortable talking to people. I'm really comfortable in front of a really large crowd. The bigger, the crowd, the better. I come to life in front of a crowd. Put me in a small room with four or five people, but some of you will be complete the other way around. You freeze, if you had 20 people, if you have to go on the stage and pick up my microphone, you be a bit like staring in the rabbit in the headlights and you go I don't know what to do. I want to encourage you use the gifts that you have for God's glory. And if you haven't found a place to do that, come and speak to me come and speak to someone on the leadership team. Let us know. I've been surprised by some of the gifts. Some of you remember, Killeen Killeen, they moved up North with Matthew, a few months ago. Now, I didn't realize she had something brilliant, kite making skills until the kite was made on a 30-year anniversary. And there was this beautiful Lake, Arrowhead and gifts and talents in the room today, they're hitting the gifts and talents in those who are not here. Why on holiday, but you know what? I want to encourage you. Use those gifts for his glory, Use those gifts as acts of service be full of the Holy Spirits Wherever You Are. What are the things? I didn't want to put this into my 7th, just come to be prompted.
Where are we might January last year? I want you to make moss up until then I work 4 days a week for a company and then that the 2002 many different companies and then the other four days of the week and I know your mama is going wrong, and I are going up, but you know what I mean, four days for the church, I wanted I wanted to get more time. I just send you sweetheart. This prophetic word for Malibu, I just sent those who is coming. We moved into Strokes since then all those kind of things. I just said Lord I need I need more space to do some of this. I just sent to you is nothing. That's all went to my boss and said that we'd really like you five guys awake. So I'm thinking, okay, so I gave you back to God you say okay go back to you. That was back in January last year. Any money lost you. I don't know what you've been through that anymore. So, you know, cuz you know, any good nobody wants you. that was very species reason, it wasn't just me, there's a whole group of people the company decided to get rid of
Then I got into this place were so I'll call you and I need to find a new job. How are you going to do that? And I don't even remember. Now, I only want to work 3 days a week.
Price strategy. Do you know? And I started writing a Blog. About to become stuff that I'm into supply chain. That's the kind of stuff that I teach you on and do those that got to think. That's, that's what I do when I have my business out on found a job, two days a week, playing a reasonable salary, That's what I'm that's why I've been doing ever since then two days a week but that's freak me out to do something else to do, more for the church.
So I started writing a Blog about church things. I told it prophetic encounter, it was just about in counseling. In the prophetic. What's up work? And for those, please do not think that there are only four in a meeting on a Sunday. Please don't think that only for special meetings. The gifts of the Spirit on manifest through his Believers and disciples 40 Do you know wife had prophetic words at work? I'm just counts. I heard the old voice of God, but I send a direction, I sent something I should say. I didn't used to go, ho ho.
But I wouldn't do that cuz I want to bring glory to God. So I put him first. I just like I just share it with you is still some projects running 15 years of Joy Lewiston and the company more but I would go to ideas, 15 years, Now I am sure some of my worldly ideas would not still be running but some of these projects are still running. Now, I want to share this because I think as a purpose for a few people in it I would share it. And then I would go. Okay? Why don't we just give it a try. If it files you can blame me. Remember what am I saying? That God gave me the idea. I'm sharing it with you and I'm saying if it FiOS blame me and then I'll go to anybody else but him upstairs and say excuse me I thought this was something. I've never had to have that conversation. Until I said, please
I know there was one particular meeting when I went for an American software company. I was in the same meeting every month. And I came up with a number of our day is over a number of years and the guy came up to me and said, let's meet for coffee and I'll tell you So I hadn't said the hospital or anything, but now the fruit of his word goes before me. Nope. Me the fruit of his word goes before me until I meet this guy for coffee and I said okay I'm going to do two things. I said I've got a book for like regular, get my ideas from and I got sauce that I regularly pull those ideas through from, tell me what is so I'm going to tell you. And then I'm going to illustrate the examples of what I said. And I said, firstly Some of my ideas come up through a book called The Bible. Anyway,
I said, yes, the Bible. He said. That's what rich people is not suggest I go to church to give me an example. Like I never saw that he said, was you open source and I said that's when I cry sometimes, God gives me those ideas how I said. So all I'm asking you is what do you take away this copy of the Bible that's for you and read the gospel of Matthew I know you were. Of a number of months that where can you read the gospels? We met for a number of coffees? I don't know whether he's become a Christian yet, but you know what? You still reading the Bible, I still have a message from this is years ago now. So church, I mean, cottaging it, take the gifts that you are in the gifts that you have into the marketplace, into your home, into your family, into the street and used it about it. For his glory. Eat outside. Just right for one, faithful to each of, you should use whatever gift you have, received to serve, others as faithful stewards of God's grace in various forms.
Do you mind if we haven't got the right wisdom?
So, I'm going to close now but I want to encourage you. Three men and women, the prior to me, men and women of action to be men and women of purpose and Hope.
All the Kobe. Thank you. The Lord you make spiced Andrew you give us opportunity. Father help us to step into the fullness of who we are in. You help us to step into the fullness and purpose of who you call us to be. So father, I pray Lord for all of us. Every single one of us, I pray the Lord will help us to be mobile and weeping before to be more confident that we be before with a heart with a little more hope. My father would move fight to see your kingdom. Come, your will be done in Jesus name, man. Juliet's.
