God’s Financial Plan Part 1
God’s Financial Plan Part 1 The world’s system of economics, whilst offering a plethora of advice in regards to finances, is not one in which we can trust. However, the good news is that the Bible clearly lays out the alternative – God’s financial plan.
In this message, Pastor Gerri focuses upon the importance of tithing for the believer as our insurance in God’s Kingdom. He points out that too often we are more concerned about protecting our material possessions instead of placing them within God’s capable hands. This message will inspire you to put your trust in God.
God’s Financial Plan Part 2
Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us that God wants us to prosper so that we can do the will of God. We are continually encouraged in the Word to give offerings and to provide for the poor; however there is much confusion in relation to how this is worked out in practice.
Pastor Gerri takes us through several passages in Proverbs and 1 & 2 Corinthians, explaining the Biblical principles for our offerings and giving to the poor. This message will help you to examine your motives in giving and consider increasing your investment in God’s Kingdom.
Proverbs 31 Church
Proverbs 31 has long been held up as the standard for the ‘perfect wife’. However there is a wealth of wisdom in this chapter for the Church as the Bride of Christ. The Church is often seen as weak and hypocritical, and it is therefore vital that we understand and return to God’s standard of excellence.
Pastor Gerri begins with a look at the first section of this chapter, explaining what it means to be a ‘Proverbs 31 church’. This message will stir you to see the Church once again stand in a place of influence in our society.
The Proverbs 31 Cchurch -
Duty vs Desire
In our relationships, and particularly that of marriage, it is important that we show our love for each other from a place of desire rather than duty. So it is in our relationship with God as believers.
The latter part of Proverbs 31 deals with the virtuous woman, who is symbolic of the Church. Pastor Gerri discusses some characteristics of this woman and reminds us that as the Bride of Christ, our service to Christ must come out of our passion for Him.
Proverbs 31 Church -
The Function of the Church
proverbs 31 contains key points about the marriage relationship which can be compared with that of Christ and the church. Just as a bride will prepare herself for her husband, so the church must prepare herself for her groom; a preperation that is even more vital in these last days.
Pastor Gerri continues to expound upon the latter part of Proverbs 31, focussing upon the function of the Church in its preparation. This message will challenge you to consider your gifting and purpose in the Bride of Christ and to seek God for His place for you.
Proverbs 31 Church -
The Fashion of the Church
Proverbs 31:21-25 describes the clothing of the 'Virtuous Women', but what might this mean for us as the church? Considering these verses as a description of the Bride of Christ, we find a picture of the spiritual clothing given to us in Christ
In this message, Pastor Michelle draws out a number of points, explaining how we as the Church are 'slothed'. As you listen, you will be reminded of the power of the blood of Christ that removes our sin and enables us to walk in righteousness dressed in strength and honour.
Proverbs 31 Church -
The Focus of the Church
Proverbs 31:19-21 depicts the actions of the ‘virtuous woman’, specifically those to whom she reaches out. As the Bride of Christ, God has called us for a purpose, and it is vital that we recognise the responsibility we have towards those in need in our localities.
In this message, Pastor Gerri considers the four types of people mentioned in these verses and explains how the Church is called to minister to them. You will be challenged to recognise Who is inside of you and take what you have and give to those around you.
Proverbs 31 Church - The Welfare Of The Church
The Church is not called to merely ‘exist’ in this world, but to make disciples and equip believers to do the work of the ministry. It is vital that we begin to follow the pattern God has set out for us – to live morally excellent, free from contamination, positive in disposition, courageous in circumstances and loving in relationships. Be encouraged as Pastor Gerri continues to take you on the journey through Proverbs 31, focussing on the aspect of fulfilment – the result of living the way God has called us to as His Bride.
Proverbs 31 Church - The Fulfillment Of The Church
Proverbs 31:26-31 provides us with a victorious end to the description of the Bride of Christ in this chapter. Despite the negative state in which the Church may be, we know it will end in the positive as Christ transforms us into His glorious Bride. As a result, our message must be that of salvation for all. In this message, Pastor Gerri explains the nature of a mature church; one which operates in wisdom, kindness, diligence and order. As you listen, you will be challenged to rise up and fulfil God’s plan for your life.
The Life Is In The BLood
Leviticus 17:11 states, ‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood…it is the blood that makes atonement’. Throughout the Word, the blood carries a significant role for us as believers and yet often we take it for granted as we do not understand its power. Pastor Gerri discusses firstly why the blood of Christ is so powerful and pure, and secondly continues with the impact this should have on our lives. This important message will challenge you to walk in all the blessings of Christ’s blood and to appreciate anew His sacrifice for you.
Faith
In Mark 11:22-23, Jesus exhorts us to ‘have faith in God’, and yet many of us as believers are not walking in the truth of this statement. However, if we cannot please God without faith, we need to learn how to develop it in our lives.
This important message, brought to you from Mark Hankins, a guest speaker at our annual conference, A God Thing, will teach you why faith is emphasised in the Bible and remind you of the principles of speaking, believing and receiving. Listen and let the Word build up your faith!
Only Comes With A Fight
Many of us have dreams that we are seeking God for, but are we willing to fight for them? Psalm 18:32 promises us that God has armed us for the fight of faith and equipped us to be victorious, and yet so often we give up at the critical point.
In this powerful message, taken from our annual conference, A God Thing, Pastor Gerri takes us through a number of elements that oppose our faith and cause us to give up. As you listen, you will be encouraged to fight to see your dreams fulfilled.
