As a church family, we have a place to learn how to mature as Christ followers along with others. We also have a process to prepare us to influence and impact the people we engage with every day.

Daily discipleship is a lifestyle of choice. You must choose to keep Jesus at the centre of everything you do in order to experience the depth and breadth of spiritual maturity and impact on others that gives you a compelling purpose for how you live out each day.

There is a direct link between your mind and your heart, the command centre of your life that I talked about last week. Your mind is the doorway that determines what goes into your heart, both good and bad.

Have you ever wondered why a lot of people that you talk to are not interested in Jesus or what the Bible says about any given subject?

It’s one thing to be told how things are different while it’s another thing to live differently.

We have been focusing this month on why our faith in Jesus is reasonable, why it makes sense, why we make such a big deal about it.

As Easter approaches, people tend to focus more and more on the sacrifice of Christ and what that means to us.

That sounds like an oxymoron, 'defeated Christian'. How can we be in Christ and still live in defeat?

The book of Revelation really is a revelation of Jesus. We see Him in ways that are unique to that writing and are given glimpses of His power and glory that are heart stopping.

The reality is that where you and I are going to spend eternity is probably much more than any of us has conceived or dreamed of.

There is a lot of interest in these occurrences both inside and outside of the church. When you read about them it can sound like some of the science fiction movies you’ve seen or books you’ve read.

This Sunday we are going on a wild ride together as we do an overview of the Tribulation period. This covers chapters 6 through 19 and contains lots of action over a seven-year time frame.

It is a breathtaking view of heaven during the final moments before the world gets hit with unprecedented catastrophe. Notice the focus on the scroll with seven seals and the interaction of the heavenly beings looking for a qualified candidate to take and open the seals.

Let me remind you that the time is close for Jesus to set the last events of human history in motion. You and I as followers of Christ are the church that he is talking to in these messages.

There are lots of questions about what's happening in our world these days and where it's all heading. This then is an ideal time to see what God has told us about these things already.

The discipline of fasting is not particularly popular anymore... Maybe it's because we don't know what the point is.

Lament is an uncomfortable concept.

When you are living out your calling with the sense of God working in and through you, every day is an adventure full of opportunities for making kingdom impact.

Did you ever realize that, on the night Jesus was born, everyone was looking up? Shepherds, wise men, King Herod and his soldiers, men, women, children...everyone!

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favour rests.”
