Where do you draw your strength? Many people struggle through life trying to do things in their own strength! Pastor Damian reads from Ephesians 3:14-21 where it states that we are to draw our strength from God. Having that resource can only come from having a relationship with our Heavenly Father who knows what our real needs are. Today’s message centres on how we can access that great power source.
When Jesus visited the synagogue and read from Isaiah he didn’t directly quote the established text. Our Elim Regional Leader, Paul Hudson, uses the account in Luke 4: 16-19 to show that Jesus shifted the emphasis to reveal His redemptive purpose.
Growing in our faith and producing fruit should be the aim of all mature Christians. Pastor Damian uses Philippians 1:3-11 to illustrate these points and to remind us that our walk is not a solo pursuit but requires teamwork.
Continuing the series on Hope Church values, Damian explains that it is God’s plan to have a church where people are growing to maturity as disciples of Christ.
