3 January 2016 Ps Janine Harris - Vision (our personal endeavours).
Proverbs 29:18 - Nothing disciplines your life like vision!
Discipline= self imposed standards for a higher goal.
- Many people ask - Why am I here?
- Where there is no revelation, there is no constraint.
- Without vision, there is little discipline.
- Vision - Discipline - Outcome.
- The vision outcome doesn't happen without discipline.
- Many people are attracted to these traits.
- The vision controls your choices, and simplifies your lives!
- Peace comes from this state, confusion comes without it.
- Our vision of our lives comes from God. We can fail to receive visions if we are focused on the wrong things, and miss out.
- When you know where your heading, things are so much easier.
- 4 steps to find vision.
1 - Capturing the vision. (The vision is within you)!
2 - Your future is not ahead of you, ( It's trapped inside of you)!
3 - God wants us to know it!
4 - Meditation
- Pray for little, and receive a lot.
1.a - Capture it. - Vision is our assignment on Earth.
- Living is not practice. This is it!
- Write it down and simplify into short statements.
2.a - Compare your vision to the word of God.
- a meaningful purpose, is a situation that moves you to want to take action.
- The thoughts of a righteous man are right!
- Righteous = Aligned with God.
3.a - Document it, bring it to one statement that aligns with God, and your skills.
4.a - Communicate it. - and live it
- there are many things we can do, but not all are beneficial.

13 December 2015 - Ps Janine Harris - Healing.
Gods Kingdom, and the original assignment of the church.
- Healing is for the testimony of others.
- Lazarus was healed, so the witnesses could see power/ glory of God.
- We are called to go out into the community to spread the word of God.
Matthew 16:13- 18-
- The church is the product of the fall,(Adam & Eve).
- The church is not the building, but is the people.
- The Greeks use the word " Ecclesia". Which stands for The people responsible for, and nominated/appointed/trusted by the leaders to pass on the intentions of the leaders, to the people/ community.
Matt 15 -
Galatians4:4-5 - God waits for things to be at the right time, (fullness of time), to affect your generation.
- The gates of hades will not stop Gods Ecclesia, from being in existence. As one passes away, another is born into being.
- When God created Adam, He gave him, thus us, dominion in the world. So we became Gods ecclesia. Thankfully, through Jesus, we don't have to spend all our time battling sin.

29 November 2015 - Ps Chris Thompson - The image of God
Gen 1:26 & 2:7
Matt 11:20 - Jesus gives comfort and rest.
- The more we know of Jesus/ God, the more specific our faith can be.
- The greater our knowledge of God, reduces the time that we waste on meaningless things.
Proverbs. -In all we do, get wisdom and understanding.
Gen1:26 - Man created in Gods' image.
Gen2:7 - God spoke us into life. He used, Hands, words and breath.
- We are a Trinitarian creation, meaning,
- We have understanding of him.
- Communication with him.
- Relationship with him.
- However sin had corrupted these. So Christ came to renew, and restore our purpose filled life.
Incommunicable Attributes
- All knowing.
- All powerful.
- All present.
- God depends on nothing to exist.
Communicable attributes (summary).
1. -Reason. - We have The ability to discern facts. (Form a judgement). So we have a clear, free will to come to conclusions in line with God. Reading scripture will help us come to God like decisions.
2. - Creative. - We are most like God, when we are being creative. Words created our world.
3. - Self Determination,(Free Will). - You can overcome Gods guidance, because we have free will!
Deut 30:19 - God poses a statement, but also gives the answer.
- "I will worship you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made".
- Nothing in this world has come to be without Gods hand in it.

11 October 2015 Ps Janine Harris - Prayer.
Prayer is a Kingdom principle/culture.
- Prayer is not to be treated as special, but should be a staple, and used regularly.
- "Without God, man cannot", "Without man, God cannot".
- Prayer is an Earthly licence for Heavenly intervention.
- God gave us legal authority,(in Genesis).
Genesis 2:7 - Man became.
- We are spirit beings in a human body.
- Any spirit needs a body to exist. Any spirit without a human body on Earth, is illegal. So we have the authority to kick out evil spirits.
- When we die, we become absent in the body, and present with the spirit/ eternity.
- When God speaks, every word becomes law.
- The devil is 100% spirit, so is illegal on Earth, and needs to find a body to continue to exist.
- Satan knows the heart of God, and that God won't break his word.
Isaiah 7:14 - Immanuel, ( God with/ in us).
- Jesus came to Earth 100% man, so he didn't break Gods word.
- If we stop praying, heaven stops working.
- If we continue to pray, we give permission for Heaven to work on Earth.
- Pray without ceasing!, to bring Heaven to Earth.
- " I've got the authority, He's got the power!".
1.- Death
2.- Hell
3.- the grave
These were the three keys Jesus took from Satan, in the three days after his crucifixion.

4 October 2015 Ps Andrew Harper - Eph Pt 7
Eph 2:11 - Differences and peace.
- We won't have peace on Earth in our lifetime.
- There is always going to be conflicts, until the coming of Christ.
- Christ wants us to act as one.
Some of the differences are -
- Religious differences.
- Cultural differences.
- God wants us to break down these divisions.
- The Jewish leaders used to teach, that the Gentiles,(us), were created to keep the fires of hell burning. (extreme racism).
- Now we're shown how to be, through Jesus.
:12 - We are now in Christ, because,
1. - We were aliens, - now we're family, through Gods covenant, by accepting Christ.
3. - No hope, - because the Gentiles believed they had no connection to God, until Paul taught them that once they accepted Christ into their lives, they receive Gods favour/ covenant. And are Gods chosen people. And no- one holds more favour with God than others. We are all equal in Gods eyes.
:13 - Before coming to Christ, no favour/ covenant.
- There is only one way to God. Through Jesus Christ. ("No-one comes to the father, but through me"), Christ.
