Abraham lived with respect to God and the promises He made, while Lot lived with respect to what looked promising in his own eyes. The Bible doesn't tell us that God fulfills our dreams, but rather that God has a dream for you and me.

Do you feel that your life counts with God?

God has a heart and a love for this world. Your place in this world is as a servant of Him, one who is sent by Him. If you are not sent by Him, you may be well established, but you will have no place. There is a bigger story going on. This bigger story will give your life meaning. If you do not get into the bigger story of what God is doing, your life will be lived in a niche for yourself and the small world around you. No matter how comfortable or happy you are, you won’t know whether your life is significant, because the only one who can give your life significance is God.

You may not know what your future holds or where you belong. The Lord says, “You belong with me”.

Pastor Michael Koh preaches from Exodus 3…

The spirit of poverty is the crippling fear that your perceived, relative littleness can't be used by God in a big way. If you feel like you have little to give, give yourself to the Lord first and ask Him what He wants of you. He became poor to make you rich. He will give you a joy that overflows as you give generously of your treasure, talents and time.

- Excerpt from sermon by Dr. Sanjeev Nandakumaran

When we know who we are as children of the Most High God and that we are power carriers...
When we know the power of the Name of Jesus...
When we can identify the enemy...

...then we can boldly confront the enemy and emerge victorious in Jesus' Name!

To learn more and hear stories of how this works, check out this past Sunday's message by Pastor Stephen Mubanga.

With what seriousness do we pay attention to what God says? Do we treat it lightly or take it seriously? How seriously should we take God's Word, Christianity and our faith?

For some of us, we have not found our place in the world, our place with people - where we can thrive. We may feel place-less - we feel unsafe, threatened, lack stability, or feel a lack of fit. Yet God has a place of thriving for each one of us. God, through scripture, defines place very differently than the way the world defines it. God will speak to us about the place - the destiny, the promise - that He has for us, and He will lead us to enter in to it.

God has a place for you and me that is the venue for the fulfillment of his promises and purposes for us. It is not defined by a particular space or circumstance that fits us, but rather his very presence. It may not be a comfortable space, but the comfort, assurance and power of God comes when we dwell in the place that He has for us.

Pastor Michael Koh preaches from John 14, Hebrews 11 and Isaiah 35.

When we pray, we are looking for a permanent place that exists – a fixed home for us that is provided for us – but we must always begin at a lower plane. The Holy Spirit brings us to a place where we are in God’s tent – an eternal dwelling – an eternal location – every single time we cry out to God. In prayer and crying out to God, there is a place where we locate the ability to move in the dark – and sense God is about to do something. -Rajeev Nandakumaran
