PM – Israel, God's Start-up Nation plus Q & A
Ps Stefan Silver
Download

Guest speaker Ps Stefan Silver from Haifa, Israel spoke to us in a combined service with Riverstones Church, Upper Hutt.

He shared about how God has blessed Israel with success in the business start-up world. He also used the stages of a business start-up to illustrate Israel’s spiritual journey from it’s humble beginnings with Abraham, through the two exiles, to it’s rebirth as a nation, experiencing economic, military, social and political miracles.

Ps Silver went on to update us with some statistics showing that there is a rapid increase in the number of Israeli Jews believing in Yeshua as their Messiah. But also that there is still much work to be done.

So, Ps Stefan then outlined how we can support God's start-up nation to rediscover their Messiah Yeshua using the acronym PR.A.S.IN (Press in):

  • Pray! Our Most powerful weapon

  • Advocate! Make your voice heard and presence known. For example, NZ's attitude towards Israel needs to change.

  • Support! Get behind the 'Boots on the Ground' such as supporting Messianic evangelistic organisations.

  • Influence! Challenge your family, colleagues, pastors, etc

The recording ends with a Q & A session on the current situation in Israel. The questions cannot be heard, but Ps Stefan’s answers are still very insightful.

In Part 4 of this series on Psalm 23, Ps Rob talks about the valley (verse 4). Valleys will occur in our lives. But we are not alone. Life is not hopeless because we have the Lord who will be with us through our valleys and help us out the end of the valley.

If you are struggling in a valley, don’t do it alone. Talk with Ps Rob or Ps Kaye. Click here to see our Contact page for the Risk Church phone number.

NOTE: A technical fault cut off the end of the sermon, but there’s still plenty of encouraging words to listen to!

The Word of God Must Sharpen Us

Hebrews 4:12

AM - We Must Let The Word of God Sharpen Us

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV)

12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Some Sermon Notes

Jesus is the living word. "When we read the word, we are communicating with Jesus."

The Word:

  • brings life to us. 

  • is sharp. The Word resets us. It reveals what's from our soul and what is from our Spirit and from God. It sharpens us to hear the prophetic voice of God.

  • will discern of our bodies - the word of God can heal our bodies ("joints and marrow").

Anyone who doesn't read the living Word is "missing out on their spiritual immunity."

The Word reveals whether our thoughts are correct, and reveals our underlying motives.

  • Ask God to show us our motives. "Why am I doing this/that?"

  • 1 John 1

His Word makes us sharper in the prophetic.

  • It helps us sense His plans, His heart, His truth,

Knowing the Word gives us a strong foundation when the world tries to persuade us to accept their beliefs. We won't be swayed to go with the majority.

Hearing the Sunday sermon is insufficient. We must be hiding God's word in our hearts.
