AM – How to Experience Our Heavenly Father's Loving Embrace

/

It’s very easy to get caught up in performance-based Christianity - trying to earn God’s love, or going through the motions of the Christian life. However, this is not the kind of relationship that Father God desires to have with us.

In this Father’s day message Andrew Ward shares four keys for moving from a performance-based relationship with our Heavenly Father to a love-based relationship in which we freely express our affection for Him:

  1. Be continually filled with the power of the Holy Spirit

  2. Get to know what God says in His Word Himself and about you

  3. Tell your soul to be quiet!

  4. Regularly spend time fellowshipping with the Father

He also touches on wrong father images and how to transform the Christian disciplines of prayer, fasting, Bible reading, tithing, attending services, etc from chores into expressions of our love for Him.

AM - How to Cultivate a Healthy Mindset

/

Our thought-life determines what we cultivate in our lives. Currently, ‘mind-emptying’ mindfulness is all the rage. In today’s message Amanda Minot shares how Christian mindfulness isn’t about emptying the mind. It’s about self-control and Godly thinking. It’s about intentional thinking. It’s being aware of what’s going on in our head and taking control over it. Amanda shares solid advice on how to walk in the Spirit in order to cultivate a healthy, Christian mindset.

PM - Pentecostal Family DNA

Pastor Rob preached this sermon at tonight’s Wellington Region, Assemblies of God combined service, held at Hutt City Church. Here are a couple of notes from this rousing sermon:

“Awake: stir, arouse, awaken ourselves. We have a vibrant Holy Spirit inside who stirs us up.”

“We change into different people when the Spirit of God comes upon us. The Holy Spirit is part of our Pentecostal DNA.”

May the Lord fill you with His Spirit as you listen!
