MESSAGE NOTES: Home #1

01: THE PRODIGAL FATHER (PART 1)

Special Focus:

  • In January we are going to have a time of united prayer and fasting called “2020 FAST FORWARD”
  • We are going to take 20 days from Sunday, January 5th through Saturday, January 25th to fast, pray, read the Word, gather together
  • The focus of this time is going to be seeking God and listening for vision for the new decade.
  • We are going to have Prophet Yul and Jane Crawford joining us January 17th to 19th as well.
  • Save the date and get ready for what God is going to do

Introduction

  • This series in entitled “HOME”
  • One of the strongest themes of Christmas for most of us is ‘family’ – right at the core of our vision here at TCC is to be a spiritual family. Right at the core of Christmas is about God the Father sending His only son to save us, so we can be welcomed into family.
  • When you are part of a family then you have a home – the dictionary defines it as the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household
  • Over the next several weeks I want to talk about a family, and a home, and how God’s heart/character was revealed through them.

MESSAGE NOTES: Money Talks #2

02: WHY I TITHE

Introduction:

  • We are continuing our series focused on discipleship in the area of our finances.
  • Discipleship is following Jesus… what does it look like to really follow Jesus in the area of our finances? 
  • In my bag is a term that refers to being “focused, diligently working on something, being in the zone” – I believe that God has some big things in store for us but part of the prep is embracing discipleship when it comes to our finances.
  • We are called to be a blessing to nations.
  • God is looking for people and church families to whom he can give great resources – because He trusts them to be ‘distribution centres’.
  • We have to be faithful with little so we can be rulers over much (Matthew 25:21) – we need to be in our bag where we are at so we can be trusted with more.

MESSAGE NOTES: Soul Food #6

PROSPERING IN YOUR EMOTIONS (Part 2)

3 John 2 (NKJV) – Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

  • God’s desire is for us to prosper and be in health in this season… this is directly connected to our ’soul prosperity’
  • 1 Thess 5:23 (ESV) – …and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • We are a spirit, we have a soul, we live in a body
  • Our soul = our mind, will, and emotions
  • God wants to prosper our souls in this season

Prospering in Our Emotions

Again, there are two sides to this topic that I want to make sure we touch on. The first is the danger to be led by our emotions rather than being led by the Spirit. The second is the danger to be disconnected not be ‘emotionally healthy’. In the last lesson we focused on the first, in this, we want to focus on the second.
