  Hey, welcome to the City Point Church podcast.
• 0:04
  Thanks for joining us. Every day is an opportunity to
• 0:07
  take hold of. So we hope this message inspires
• 0:10
  you and build your faith, but it helps you have more of a God
• 0:13
  perspective for your day. Enjoy.
• 0:17
  I have a word in my heart, a word for the church this year,
• 0:21
  which is absolutely awesome. And so the title of today's
• 0:25
  message is Walking the Same path, Walking the same path.
• 0:31
  Now this year as a church in every single department, we are
• 0:35
  walking in the same direction, down the same path.
• 0:41
  We aren't looking at a point saying I'm getting there, but
• 0:45
  we're all taking our own pathway to there.
• 0:47
  We are literally tripping over each other down the path as we
• 0:51
  walk on the same path in the same direction to the same goal
• 0:56
  or vision for this church. Immense unity.
• 0:59
  This year we call it alignment. So in the life of this church,
• 1:05
  we as a church body Melon. I have been the location pastors
• 1:10
  of this great church for five years now, and God has been just
• 1:15
  bringing more and more clarity every single year of how He
• 1:18
  wants to move. And this is for us the year of
• 1:21
  alignment and the year of Disciple ship.
• 1:25
  So this year we're not thinking about doing more.
• 1:28
  We are thinking about where we are going together.
• 1:32
  So it's not about just more meetings, greater meetings,
• 1:36
  bigger meetings, all of that. What we're doing this year is as
• 1:39
  a church, which means you and I, we are looking at where are we
• 1:44
  going together? Psalms 133, verses 1 and verse 3
• 1:50
  says how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
• 1:55
  together in unity. Verse 3 For there the Lord
• 2:00
  commands the blessing. Can you say I am blessed because
• 2:06
  I'm in unity with the church? Amen.
• 2:11
  So that's where your blessing is found.
• 2:13
  If you're not walking in the reality of blessing, you have to
• 2:18
  ask the question, do I know the mission of the church?
• 2:21
  Do I believe what the church preaches?
• 2:24
  And I am I not following the church?
• 2:26
  Am I part of the church? Because when you bring your
• 2:30
  whole world into alignment there the Lord will bring blessing for
• 2:35
  you. When we say as pastor Mel has
• 2:37
  already this morning that as a church we exist to bring
• 2:41
  spiritual and social transformation to our sitting.
• 2:44
  This is not a slogan. We are not painting it on the
• 2:48
  walls. We need this to get into our
• 2:51
  hearts, into our spirits, into the purpose of why I, not even
• 2:57
  the church now, why I exist, is to bring spiritual and social
• 3:01
  transformation to our city. Not a slogan, it's a calling.
• 3:07
  It's a calling this morning. It's God saying I want to move
• 3:11
  through this church, the individuals and as a corporate
• 3:16
  church body through you to bring change to your neighborhoods, to
• 3:21
  your schools, to your universities and to your
• 3:25
  workplaces. Do you believe that this
• 3:27
  morning? Let me say this, Do you believe
• 3:29
  that God can do that this morning?
• 3:32
  Do you believe that God can use you to do that this morning?
• 3:37
  See, that's really where it is, where it's at.
• 3:40
  That's where unity really is. I have found in my Christian
• 3:44
  walk of growing up in the church, I have found that every
• 3:48
  church believes God can do it. But when the question is posed,
• 3:54
  can God do it through me? That is a real question.
• 3:58
  Well, I'm falling over here. That's a real question.
• 4:03
  I remember when God 1st called me personally, I was young to
• 4:10
  the realm of miracles and then that just lingered with me and I
• 4:15
  was just like, man, I just got to pray like Billy Graham, I
• 4:18
  assume he prays, you know, to have that anointing.
• 4:21
  I've just got to pray 24 hours a day and I couldn't do that.
• 4:26
  And so I just, I was always striving and then we became
• 4:30
  pastors in the church when Pastor Rick was still the
• 4:33
  location pastor. And it just got heavy on me.
• 4:36
  And, and so I started to tap into the realities more mentally
• 4:41
  and spiritually of God, like like me, not just the church
• 4:46
  through worship or when Pastor Rick preaches.
• 4:49
  And then we became the location pastors and God's like, there we
• 4:54
  are. And I'm like, really God.
• 4:57
  And what I realized is always the catalyst for the church.
• 5:02
  Does this make sense? And so you'll notice that our
• 5:05
  miracle services every year, I don't pray much for people, our
• 5:09
  leadership and our pastors in the church, God's using all of
• 5:13
  them. And so the step between faith in
• 5:18
  God being God, in faith of God being my God, then the faith
• 5:28
  level it requires for God to be the God that operates through my
• 5:33
  life. Now we're talking.
• 5:36
  Does this make sense? And let me tell you here this
• 5:38
  morning as you grab this vision to bring spiritual and social
• 5:46
  transformation, spiritual, which means for you personally to
• 5:52
  allow the Spirit of the God to break things and for you to come
• 5:56
  in partnership with the God and the Spirit of God of God.
• 6:02
  Yes, use me. I will do it.
• 6:06
  I will actually do it. I will be the one.
• 6:10
  I will lay the hands, I will step out.
• 6:12
  I will conquer fear through this.
• 6:14
  I'll do whatever, but use me. And that spiritual like, like
• 6:22
  binding thing breaks open in your life and freedom comes in
• 6:26
  that area. And then you move from that to
• 6:30
  this belief. You're you're joining Pastor
• 6:32
  Rachel's prayer teaching course. And you and you come to the
• 6:36
  Sunday night services and allow the edification of the Saints
• 6:40
  for the work of the ministry just flow over and over you and
• 6:44
  you start believing for spiritual breakthrough over the
• 6:47
  community, but you don't believe for it.
• 6:50
  You're in the do company now, right?
• 6:52
  God use me. I will do it.
• 6:54
  And So what you start to do is you my phone's down there, but
• 6:57
  in my phone, I've got this. I saved the a Safari Google page
• 7:03
  to my home screen that has all the spiritual strongholds that
• 7:07
  the Bible says by name. And so most days I pray over
• 7:12
  this community, God, I break the deaf dumb spirit.
• 7:16
  God, I break the spirit of divinity over the city and I
• 7:19
  just start going through them because we want to specie
• 7:23
  spiritual transformation. Does this make sense?
• 7:28
  And so this is the church in the do action in the proactive
• 7:33
  church, not consumers consumer age.
• 7:36
  That's a weird word. But anyway, it should be in the
• 7:38
  dictionary. You'll find it.
• 7:39
  You'll find it. Come tell me, not a consumer age
• 7:42
  church, but rather a proactive church.
• 7:50
  The Holy Spirit doesn't give you a sword to have shiny on a
• 7:56
  mantelpiece at home, but he also didn't give you a sword and say
• 8:02
  now go dictate to the community. He gave you a sword because we
• 8:08
  fight a spiritual battle. We don't fight against flesh and
• 8:13
  blood, but against principalities and powers.
• 8:16
  Church, would we unite in 2026 and say I am partnering with
• 8:23
  you, God, you have already partnered with me, but we are
• 8:28
  going to see spiritual transformation over this great
• 8:32
  city of ours in Jesus name. Let me tell you this isn't just
• 8:38
  a great city, this is your great city.
• 8:41
  We have to fight for it and we fight for it in a spiritual
• 8:45
  battle. We get out the sword of the
• 8:47
  spirit. We already got the shoes of
• 8:49
  peace on when we got out of bed this morning and we we start to
• 8:53
  fight a spiritual battle. We open it up in Google and we
• 8:56
  find out what the spiritual strongholds are over our
• 9:00
  community and we stand in the gate.
• 9:02
  You don't feel anything but you declare it.
• 9:04
  You might not feel anything, but the Spirit is shaking because
• 9:08
  the Saints, the church is alive. The living Word of God is part
• 9:13
  of the living church, and we are standing on the Word, declaring
• 9:18
  it in the spiritual realm. But we also want to see social
• 9:22
  transformation. That's where we edification of
• 9:26
  the Saints for the work of the ministry.
• 9:28
  Now we go out there to work and we start to bring social
• 9:33
  transformation. We do this in our schools.
• 9:36
  We don't stand or we don't allow.
• 9:39
  It's so hard, I understand that. But cultural pressures to
• 9:43
  dictate to us and our world. You might feel like you can't
• 9:48
  change everything in your school, everything in your
• 9:51
  university, or everything in your workplace, but you can
• 9:55
  change it for one person. You can change it for yourself.
• 10:01
  As a star, I am strong enough in the things of the Lord man.
• 10:07
  I am strong enough in the identity of who I am as a a man.
• 10:12
  Women in the house. My man is strong enough in his
• 10:16
  identity for me to follow. And I'm going to allow that
• 10:19
  process to come to fruition so that he's, once again, you know,
• 10:24
  that the male issue that we have in the world today is not just a
• 10:28
  male issue, it's also a female issue.
• 10:32
  We have to allow the man to rise.
• 10:34
  And listen, you might say I allow him to rise, but if he
• 10:38
  doesn't feel that you allow him to rise, he still won't.
• 10:41
  He actually has to feel it. He has to know it and he has to
• 10:44
  be encouraged in him. But man, I'm calling out of you
• 10:47
  today this spiritual transformation we want to see,
• 10:51
  this social transformation we want to see it has to be led by
• 10:56
  us, US men. We have to rise up not just in
• 11:00
  the church, but in our houses, in our workplaces, in the
• 11:03
  community, wherever we are, no matter how young you might be,
• 11:07
  if you're a male. We need to rise up.
• 11:09
  And we need to say it's not rise up in dictatorship.
• 11:13
  Like I use a rule doing this wrong.
• 11:15
  No rise up in example in your example application of who you
• 11:20
  are saying I will not be part of this, but we also rise up in the
• 11:24
  spirit realm and as things are happening around you, you're
• 11:28
  breaking their power in the spirit realm.
• 11:31
  You know, I, I drive my car like all the time, all the time and I
• 11:37
  see people on the streets. I say God, I call that young boy
• 11:42
  to church. Salvation is his.
• 11:44
  I call that man to church. Salvation is theirs.
• 11:47
  I walk to shopping centres like this.
• 11:49
  I'm just praying in my mind and my in my spirit.
• 11:52
  I, I pray for every stronghold over that person on the side of
• 11:55
  the street. Right now.
• 11:56
  I break its power. It has no place in my city.
• 12:01
  You can only declare that if you pray that on your day-to-day
• 12:04
  basis. See, I can declare that because
• 12:07
  every day I'm out there breaking the powers over the city.
• 12:11
  See the devil knows me by name. Would he know you by name?
• 12:15
  Would he know you by name? I love what Paul said in the
• 12:20
  scriptures. Sounds arrogant but it's really
• 12:23
  not because I just did it so it can't be right.
• 12:26
  But he said I wish you all prayed as much as I do.
• 12:31
  I wish you all had authority over this community like I do.
• 12:36
  I can only say that it's not an arrogance because I do it and
• 12:40
  I'm calling this church in 2026 into alignment.
• 12:46
  We will see spiritual and social transformation and we will see
• 12:51
  it because I believe with all of my heart, we've done preparation
• 12:55
  for five years in this church amongst our own lives.
• 13:00
  We we have done like if I said raise your hand, I'm pretty sure
• 13:03
  at least half of us would raise our hand.
• 13:06
  We've done so much spiritual preparation in this church over
• 13:10
  five years that I bet that you were waiting and saying, well,
• 13:13
  what are we doing? Well, here we go.
• 13:18
  We're calling God's border clear.
• 13:20
  It's spiritual transformation, social transformation.
• 13:24
  Wherever you are, bring social transformation.
• 13:27
  Let me tell you, I've, I shared this at our leaders retreat a
• 13:30
  week ago. All the leaders of the church,
• 13:34
  we get together for a week and and talk through the future of
• 13:38
  the church and I have often got up here and I need to repent
• 13:42
  today. I'm going to take some water
• 13:44
  first and I've talked about preaching on the street corner
• 13:53
  and because when I think of that, I have an old fashioned
• 13:57
  thought process with it. And I've just spoken about what
• 14:01
  street corner preaching isn't. It's not dictatorship, it's not
• 14:04
  telling people they're going to hell.
• 14:07
  We feel like that because the fire of God is inside of us.
• 14:10
  But love doesn't sound like that.
• 14:13
  And so that's not what the corner thing is.
• 14:18
  But I believe God wants to bring transformation to old fashioned
• 14:24
  ideas. And let me tell you this, I say
• 14:28
  that because of this. It's not street corner, I
• 14:31
  understand. But everywhere you go, Jesus is
• 14:36
  on your lips. Melanie's dad is just like the
• 14:40
  gold at this. Oh, let me pray for you brother.
• 14:43
  You know they'll just talk Jesus into someone.
• 14:46
  They're just like, whoa, what's this?
• 14:48
  He knows what what? They're weird, but oh, give me
• 14:51
  more. They're in an hours
• 14:52
  conversations leading them to God.
• 14:54
  Shane and Robin are like this everywhere they go, leading
• 14:57
  people to Jesus. Let's have Jesus on our lips.
• 15:02
  Let's declare the goodness of God.
• 15:04
  Let's shout it from the mountaintops.
• 15:06
  Amen. Let's make sure I have this
• 15:08
  thing in my life that if you enter my sphere, my world,
• 15:14
  right, don't expect cushion. You know, you just don't expect
• 15:19
  me to not say truth. I'll say it in love, but it's
• 15:23
  got to be truth laced in love where it's got to be like Jesus
• 15:27
  can heal this, You know, Would you like me to pray?
• 15:31
  You know, just ask the questions.
• 15:32
  You get denied 2029 times, but the 30th you get a miracle.
• 15:38
  He wants to see some miracles starting to happen, right?
• 15:40
  So give us some 29 times this year.
• 15:42
  Amen, Amen. It's 30 ish days in a month.
• 15:46
  Should have a miracle a month. All right, Proverbs 2918 says
• 15:52
  where there is no vision, the people perish.
• 15:55
  There's no perishing today. But let me tell you, not just
• 15:59
  for this church, don't let your family perish.
• 16:02
  Put vision back into their lives.
• 16:05
  The truth is people don't lack effort, they lack clarity.
• 16:09
  People don't lack intention, they lack passion.
• 16:13
  Passion comes from being intentionally moved by the
• 16:17
  purpose or the vision. So today this isn't hearing
• 16:21
  Pastor Greg. This is like go home, download
• 16:25
  Podbean and listen to this message 101 times because we
• 16:31
  have to get this in US so that this becomes our purpose.
• 16:36
  If you're, if you're going to be so influenced by the church and
• 16:40
  who we are as a church, just join the mission.
• 16:45
  If, if, if the church moves and it impacts your life, if you're
• 16:50
  going to dress your kids up to come every single Sunday, if
• 16:53
  you're going to go to a discipleship group during the
• 16:56
  week or creative team, just get part of it.
• 16:59
  Be part of it. Like let's, let's, let's get
• 17:02
  this in us. Because without vision, you will
• 17:06
  perish on the inside. But with vision, healing will
• 17:10
  flow. Sickness flows through
• 17:14
  stagnation. Pastor John said it this
• 17:17
  morning, if you stay in bed, guess what?
• 17:20
  A month later, you're still feeling sick.
• 17:23
  But at some point in spiritually we have to move our feet around
• 17:29
  and put those on the ground and say, God, I don't have the
• 17:32
  strength, but I believe you do and start to work those
• 17:36
  spiritual muscles up of the feet.
• 17:39
  Meaning in life comes from your vision for life.
• 17:44
  Some people here may feel tired or overwhelmed.
• 17:47
  That was 2025. But it's not that.
• 17:52
  You should be better at doing more.
• 17:55
  It's time to get focus and clarity back into your world, to
• 17:59
  move forward towards what matters most, to take up the
• 18:03
  invite this morning to bring spiritual and social
• 18:08
  transformation to our city. Not just to know the words, but
• 18:12
  to bring it every day you wake up.
• 18:15
  I'm bringing it today, God, God, what's what's on the agenda
• 18:19
  today? Because I'm bringing it today,
• 18:21
  going to work. I'm bringing it to my city
• 18:23
  today. What is it, God?
• 18:25
  Is it spiritual? Do I have to say something
• 18:27
  because I'm bringing it today? Can we all say out loud right
• 18:31
  now? I'm bringing it.
• 18:33
  Let's say it louder. Once again, I'm bringing it.
• 18:38
  We're bringing it, OK Amen. We aren't talking about it.
• 18:41
  We're not thinking about it. We're not loving Pastor Gray and
• 18:43
  Mel because they've got this great vision and I really like
• 18:46
  the sound and the melodic flow of what they say.
• 18:51
  No, no, no, we're saying I am bringing it.
• 18:54
  I don't know what Pastor Gray is doing today, but I'm bringing
• 18:57
  it. I don't know what the church is
• 18:59
  doing today. They might be sleeping, but I'm
• 19:01
  bringing it. Amen.
• 19:03
  Amen. So let's be walking the same
• 19:05
  path and unmistakably influence our world for good and for God.
• 19:09
  I believe as we grow individually, the church grows
• 19:12
  corporately. What do I mean by this?
• 19:16
  If you and I allow God to do good work in us, to teach us, to
• 19:21
  mature us, to redefine who we are, to stretch us and to heal
• 19:27
  us and all the things that that entails, we become a better
• 19:32
  influence on others. We become clearer in our
• 19:35
  doctrines. We become more forgiving, we
• 19:38
  become more caring, we become more and more like Jesus, and we
• 19:42
  become more in love with Jesus. Now, I've only ever seen this in
• 19:49
  church life when the church is online with discipleship.
• 19:56
  And This Is Us in 2026 discipleship.
• 20:01
  It's common these days that Sunday church gatherings are our
• 20:04
  main import to growth in the things of God, in the things of
• 20:08
  the Lord. Sunday services are not a tiny
• 20:12
  part of what biblical discipleship is, sorry.
• 20:16
  They are only a tiny part of what biblical disciple is.
• 20:19
  Jesus had 12 close disciples that walked with him daily.
• 20:24
  We are called biblically to grow daily in the things of God.
• 20:29
  We are called biblically to grow non-stop in the things of the
• 20:35
  Lord. It's not a Sunday gathering
• 20:37
  thing. It's not a listening to the word
• 20:39
  and and in thinking of that, that message today was great
• 20:43
  Pastor Gray and we we do that or I listened to your message last
• 20:47
  week. We are called to be transformed
• 20:50
  by it. And who knows?
• 20:53
  You can only be transformed by the word of God with the Spirit
• 20:58
  of God. The Bible actually teaches that
• 21:02
  the the word of God is foolishness to people who don't
• 21:05
  have the Spirit of God. It's, it's like a book of books.
• 21:09
  It's just like there's so many books in there and, and they
• 21:12
  start to say things like all the, the doctrines don't line up
• 21:16
  and there's, there's all these things that just I can't make
• 21:19
  sense of. You say this and then you mean
• 21:21
  this later on. And New Testament, Old
• 21:23
  Testament, when people talk like that, I'm just like, man, do you
• 21:26
  want to be baptized in the Holy Spirit?
• 21:29
  Like then the Spirit of life, the word becomes living and we
• 21:33
  don't see cross doctrines, we see life.
• 21:36
  And then when you see it as the living word of God, you realize,
• 21:40
  oh, that scripture in the Old Testament, I understand it's
• 21:44
  application now and I understand how in Jesus it can look so
• 21:48
  different and we start to pull the pieces.
• 21:51
  But that's the Holy Spirit working.
• 21:53
  Every time you get a revelation when you read, that's the Holy
• 21:56
  Spirit flowing through you. You don't need tingles to know
• 21:59
  the Holy Spirit's with you. You know, you read the Word of
• 22:02
  God and you just feel peace. Holy Spirit's through me today.
• 22:06
  You know when you read the word of God and you, you feel like
• 22:09
  you can conquer the world, all of a sudden Holy Spirit's with
• 22:12
  you today. This is the power of the gospel.
• 22:14
  Amen. So this year we are calling
• 22:17
  everybody to walk on the path of discipleship and this is done
• 22:23
  through discipleship groups and one-on-one discipleship.
• 22:28
  Second Timothy 22 and the things that you have heard from me
• 22:33
  among many witnesses commit these to faithful men who will
• 22:39
  be able to teach others also discipleship.
• 22:43
  Timothy here is talking about multiplicational discipleship,
• 22:47
  where one person teaches another who teaches another
• 22:51
  multiplicational discipleship. Amen.
• 22:54
  So as a as we grow individually, the church grows corporately.
• 23:00
  Now, I'm not talking just numeric here.
• 23:02
  I am, but I'm also talking we as I grow, I influence those in my
• 23:08
  discipleship group to go grow. Or the more I'm going.
• 23:12
  Let me tell you, I disciple people, right?
• 23:14
  Every every week I'm discipling someone.
• 23:16
  I don't go, yeah, because I've got it all together.
• 23:20
  So I've got stuff to teach you. If I'm discipling someone, I'm
• 23:24
  being discipled myself. You can be the pastor of a
• 23:28
  church and still need discipleship.
• 23:29
  Hey man, everyone's like, hey man, discipleship is not a
• 23:34
  program. Discipleship is not a gathering.
• 23:41
  It's a rhythm. It's a pathway.
• 23:45
  It's what makes the vision real. Discipleship is not mentorship.
• 23:51
  Discipleship is focused to become more like Jesus more than
• 23:56
  becoming a better practising Christian or a better person.
• 23:59
  Discipleship is designed biblically so we become more
• 24:04
  like Jesus and more in love with who Jesus is and the man of
• 24:09
  Jesus Christ. Discipleship is the foundation
• 24:12
  of ministry. When a person is discipled, a
• 24:18
  person can then disciple. You cannot disciple someone if
• 24:23
  you've never been discipled yourself because what are you
• 24:27
  disciple in them to through and who for?
• 24:33
  This is a corporate initiative that needs to be taken up
• 24:37
  individually. Today, biblical discipleship is
• 24:40
  focused on Jesus to become more like Him.
• 24:45
  So as this church embraces discipleship, we are not
• 24:49
  embracing life groups where we gather without being
• 24:53
  transformed. This is why we are now moving
• 24:57
  the word or the term to discipleship groups is because
• 25:02
  it says it for itself. This group is about
• 25:06
  discipleship, not about bike riding.
• 25:12
  This is it's not a gathering on. We aren't saying the church can
• 25:15
  never gather, have friends, but we are saying this, those who
• 25:19
  grow together will want to hang together.
• 25:23
  You always want to hang with and have barbecues with and go to
• 25:26
  the beach with people who understand you, people that you
• 25:30
  trust and they can trust you, right?
• 25:33
  That's where the best wholesome fun and joy of life comes from
• 25:37
  as a church. God never commissioned the
• 25:40
  church or even Christians to go out and have the best, biggest
• 25:45
  barbecues. He never commissioned the church
• 25:49
  to be so social. It's ridiculous.
• 25:53
  The devil does that to the world.
• 25:56
  That's why when they think of hell, they're happy to go to
• 25:59
  hell because it's the best barbecue they've ever had.
• 26:03
  You've all heard that, right? The enemy is trying to make the
• 26:08
  world a social world, but God is trying to make the world a
• 26:13
  Kingdom world with a future. The Bible says to go into all
• 26:20
  the world and make disciples. Edification for the work of the
• 26:25
  ministry. Edification is one small element
• 26:29
  of discipleship, but discipleship, the smaller the
• 26:33
  group gets, the better and more powerful the discipleship
• 26:36
  journey will be. This is good church bringing
• 26:39
  some clarity for us this year. We are embracing a new culture
• 26:44
  of growth in our spiritual formation and personal influence
• 26:49
  that exemplifies Jesus Christ as a church.
• 26:53
  We're embracing this new growth this year and really this whole
• 26:58
  process. And I can't wait in two weeks
• 27:00
  I've got a message that I'm busting to preach.
• 27:03
  But the reality, this whole process starts when we first
• 27:08
  give our lives to Jesus Christ, when we believe in our heart and
• 27:12
  confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, we become
• 27:17
  Christians in that very moments. There's no process, there's no
• 27:22
  hoops you got to jump. We, we, we learned this a lot.
• 27:24
  If you've been here before, it's not performance based or
• 27:28
  behavioural based, being a Christian or a child of God.
• 27:32
  In fact, every human being that's ever existed is a child
• 27:35
  of God, just some reject His authority as their Father and
• 27:43
  others, the church, accept who He is as their Father, and they
• 27:47
  give their lives back to Him. But God is always prepared and
• 27:52
  waiting for and encouraging and stirring people to come back to
• 27:57
  Him. And when we come back to Him, He
• 27:59
  gives us the greatest thing ever, the living Holy Bible.
• 28:04
  And this is where discipleship starts.
• 28:06
  You know, the Bible teaches us that the Apostle Paul was
• 28:10
  disciple through the Holy Spirit.
• 28:13
  Now there's a whole Siaga around that and massive story around
• 28:16
  that. But the Holy Spirit then comes
• 28:19
  into your life and he strengthens you when he he leads
• 28:22
  you that that's the worship team walking out, that they're not
• 28:25
  walking out. This is a great message this
• 28:27
  morning, but they're not walking out on me right.
• 28:32
  I I'll encourage myself because she's a pretty quiet this
• 28:35
  morning, but I know it's just thinking in.
• 28:39
  And so when you give your life to God, you, you start the the
• 28:44
  beginning journeys of a discipleship journey.
• 28:47
  And the church, the Christians have a responsibility to to make
• 28:52
  sure that discipleship journey gets more thorough, gets
• 28:57
  stronger and more saturated to help you become more in love
• 29:02
  with Jesus and more like Jesus because he is the source of
• 29:05
  life. Amen.
