Preach Notes August 24 The Good Father Part 2 

In Luke 15 the Elder brother is Loyal. Obedient. Faithful. Dutiful, Hard-working. Yet Never accessed/used what was rightfully his as a son. You can live in the father’s house, but fail to enjoy and experience Father love/resources

Mindset’s blocked him. 1.identity issue:- He was a son with a slaves identity. I slaved for you. Joyless keeping of rules, fear based obedience, you get what you deserve. Lie:- Father is a demanding master.

2. Access issue. Slaves/servants don’t expect intimacy, and affection. Looking for orders not love. So remained Isolated. 3.An inheritance issue. He only had to ask, Why did he wait for his father to give him a goat when he owned the whole farm? You never gave me. Blessings rooted in Competition, and performance This not right, just, fair, Anger (at father and younger son) and self-pity jealousy. 

The father tells the older son: ‘Son, To access what is rightfully ours in Christ we must have a revelation of our true identity. favoured, loved, delighted in. You were always with me. Not a competition. and all that I have is yours. This is a foundation to build your entire life on. 

It’s How to stay encouraged when you are waiting for your healing/breakthrough, job, visa, house, and others are getting breakthroughs around you. Everything is available to me too. I am always a much loved child, and today is a good day for a break through in my life too.

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go.

Sunday is special because it’s the main opportunity in the week for the whole church family to gather, worship God, enjoy his manifest presence together, minister to one-another, receive encouragement and exhortation from God’s word and be refreshed by God’s Spirit and one-another’s friendship and support.

There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray, prophesy or read a passage from the bible. After the notices there will be a preach, we take time to understand the bible’s message and how this can teach us about God, about ourselves, about the world that we live in and about what authentic Christian lifestyle looks like in practice. At the end of the preach there is always a chance to respond.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

 

What happens to the kids at church?

As a family church we are thrilled to have people of all ages involved in our Sunday morning meetings. Typically, after worshiping together for 30 minutes or so, the children and young people will leave for their own activities.

We have a fantastic programme for the kids at the Church for ages 0–14. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. Someone will announce when the children need to go to their programme.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups for you under church life.

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

 

Will I have to join in?

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
