Revival and Reformation  Susana Soderman

Every day we need to resolve to make God the center of our lives. As we study His word,the Holy Spirit speak to our hearts. We can then pass on the love of God to others through our words and actions. God is always working in our lives, and He is longing to change us into His image. But God never forces us. Every day we need to choose Him.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. Revelation 3:20

Hope  – John Koronui

As we bring in the new year, let us stop and think about the hope that we have in Jesus. He came to earth to show us what God is like. Jesus was not just a good man. He was not just a teacher. He was God, and through Him we can see the great love of God for a fallen world. Let us focus this year on getting to know God better.

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Galations 4:4-5

A New Start – Elijah Kwasa

As the year comes to a close and everyone is thinking about making New Year’s Resolutions, Elijah gave us some inspiration and encouragement. To be in good health requires a good diet, exercise, water, sunlight, temperance, air, rest and trusting in God. He exhorts us to think about what lifestyle changes we could make in the new year that would improve our physical health, our mental health, and our connection with our God.

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2

Pr Dada Fiahlo – Why We All Have To Move 

For his final sermon at Alsonville church Pastor Dada encourages us with the fact that we are all strangers on this earth. Our home is in heaven. When we get too comfortable we are at risk of stagnating in our spiritual life. Getting out of our comfort zone helps us to grow. We need to keep moving!

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Hebrews 10:8-10

Overflow – Caleb Smith

Scripture records for us a beautiful pattern as God hears and responds to those who cry out in pain, brokeness and helplessness. Caleb shares with us that there is no situation we find ourselves in where God will not only sufficiently strengthen us, but His grace will overflow to others for His purpose.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Eph 3:20

Nick Saunders – The Fall of the King and the Work of Repentance

Nick leads us through the journey of King David, from the faith that defeated Goliath, the God given endurance of the persecution of Saul, to the selfishness that lead to the death of Uriah. Like David, we have all failed at times in our walk with God, but the example of David’s contrite heart, and his desire to enquire of the Lord every step of the way, is a most import message for each of us today.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise. Psalms 51:17

Who is King? – Jared Hughes

We choose who is our king by choosing to whom we are obiedient.  A selfless life centered wholely on Jesus, serving others and practising obedience even when it’s hard, is a life where Jesus is King.

Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams. 1 Sam 15:22

A Listening God – Elijah Kwasa

Our God is a listening God and not just a hearing God who will meet us at our point of need, even if we don’t even know what that need is. God will help us see what is keeping us from Him, and help us to remove those barriers from our lives. Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. Isaiah 59:1
