The Wilderness Years, and the Power of God—by Mark Ottenweller
Mark Ottenweller • December 12, 2022
Sermon summary:
God displayed his power by speaking creation into existence. He spoke the word and it happened
He also shows his power in your life and how you were made. He parted the Red Sea, made the sun stop in the middle of the sky. And through Jesus, he showed his power by healing and raising people from the dead. Jesus died for our sins, and can heal us spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
Through the Holy Spirit, he raised us to new life. We need to teach our children by proclaiming his power and strength, and use the Spirit to help us deal with sin.
Practical: Thank God every day for saving and healing you. Ask God to pour our his Spirit on you=power to grow.

Following Jesus comes with the cost of persecution and rejection. If we face none, it may reveal compromise or conformity to the world. Are we influencing culture—or being influenced by it? True faith shares Christ boldly, just as the early disciples did. Let’s trust God with courage and live boldly for the One we serve.
Giving is a powerful expression of worship and trust in God. Though He doesn’t need our money, our generosity reflects the posture of our hearts. We honour God by giving from our best, without strings attached, and keeping the promises we've made. Giving is to God—not to man—and it supports the church as a place of spiritual growth for our families and future generations.
We enjoyed a fantastic time of praise and worship and had a communion message by Brendan Devine (it starts at 1:11 mins). If you missed it, you can watch it on our YouTube channel and be uplifted.
