offering to say thank you thank you thank you to all those people that are sending us messages just encouraging us as we continue to lead you forward i want to say thank you for all of your prayers we feel your prayers in some ways to be honest we feel like your prayers are carrying us through a very difficult season this is difficult for us it's difficult for you we know the realities of what's happening in our community it's very challenging but this is also what i want to say as we've come into this week where i'm aware that in some parts of the community there is great levels of anxieties as to how we're going to come out of lockdown there's what i want to say to you all that we are very aware of what is being said in the background but i want you also to know that we are in touch with all the right people there's lots of conversations happening at a high level when it comes to governments when it comes to community leaders in regards to how the church is situated and positioned uh this one thing i'm i'm certain enough absolutely certain of what what drew us together in the beginning is going to see us through and what that is is the love of christ it is one lord one face one baptism one spirit that is what has united us and that is what will continue to unite us so i want to encourage you don't be fearing the season that we're in but let's continue to lift our eyes towards jesus and walk together you know i'm reminded of when daniel remembered daniel in the bible when the when the the government officials came to him and and it wasn't a good day but the bible says that daniel spoke to them with wisdom and tact and the whole situation turned around i believe that in this season if we will fill our mouths with the wisdom of god and the tactfulness of the spirit then we are going to see a turnaround i also believe that if i'm speaking to the government in that way i'll see it in that space but also as we deal with each other can i encourage you wisdom intact let that be let that be the theme let that be the spirit of how we engage with one another i want to encourage you to be praying for each other i want to encourage you to show each other grace and show each other love think about the scripture where whether that says that that says the father lavishes his love on us let's be those who lavish love on each other in this season and i have no doubt the lord will see us through you know up until this point in time he's brought us through jordan's he's allowed us to see mountains be thrown into the sea and we've seen the giants fall before us we've seen that until now and i believe we're going to see it in this season as well and we'll continue on into all that god has got for us so god bless you and join us now as we take up our tno today our tithes are now offering psalm chapter 119 reading from verse 35 tells us says here make me walk along the path of your commands for that is where my happiness is found give me an eagerness for your decrees do not inflict me with love for money turn my eyes from worthless things and give me life through your word reassure me of your promise which is for those who honor you i love this thought here reassure me of your promise which is for those who honor you uh you know i just want to say thank you to all of you who have honored the lord by bringing your tithes and your offering in faithfully under the lord just bring it in because you're honoring the lord i have no doubt that the lord he is gonna he's gonna reassure you in this season that the promises of god for you and your family are yes and amen in him i believe that as we continue to honor the lord both in our in the way we give in the way we love in the way we care in the way we do our live our christian life i i believe with all of my heart that the promises of god for us will be seen and will be evident in our life so enjoy us everywhere as you bring your tithe and offering i say god bless you and may the promises of god be yours in jesus name god bless you enjoyers thank you again for all of your prayers this way no we're praying for you god bless you [Music] as we're about to step into a whole month

day so far man i have the absolute honor and privilege of bringing the word to everybody this morning and i want to know where you're from so why don't you put what location you're from in the chat and give your location pastor a massive shout out for everything we know they do and for all the things that we don't see but we know they do behind the scenes we are truly blessed to be a part of this church of enjoy church and before i start i want to say a massive thank you to pastor shane and pastor georgie uh for this opportunity but for always believing always investing always loving always reaching out you guys are the most incredible senior pastors in the world and we are truly blessed to be under your leadership so thank you thank you thank you um the key passage i'm going to be reading from this morning is found in the book of exodus starting at chapter 16 verse 1 and this is a classic passage of scripture and we're picking up in the middle of the israelites transition from egypt to the promised land it says the whole israelite community set out from ilim and came to the desert of sin which is between ulim and sinai on the 15th day of the second month after they had come out of egypt in the desert the whole community grumbled against moses and aaron the israelites said to them if only we had died by the lord's hand in egypt there we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food that we wanted but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death talk about dramatic uh then the lord said to moses i will rain down bread from heaven for you the people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day in this way i will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions on the sixth day thou to prepare what they bring in and that is to be twice as much as they gather on the other days and then we're going to fast forward a little bit to exodus chapter 16 verse 13 to 15 and it says that evening quail came and covered the camp who doesn't love a bitter quail right and in the morning there was a layer of jew around the camp when the jew was gone thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor when the israelites saw it they said to each other what is it for they did not know what it was moses said to them it is the bread the lord has given you to eat why don't we pray lord i ask that you would prepare everyone's hearts and everyone's minds to receive the word that you would have them here this morning i ask that you would you would make up for all my shortcomings or wherever i'm weak you would be strong lord help a brother out let it be all you and none of me in jesus name we pray and everyone said amen amen i've called this morning's message don't forget to remember i don't want to ask you have you ever forgotten to remember something that you really should have remembered like have you ever forgotten to pick up the kids from school i haven't uh forgotten to pick up the kids from school but i've definitely been forgotten to be picked up from school uh it's not a diss on my mum we all do it we all forget things right maybe you've forgotten to pay your registration right and you were driving an unregistered vehicle unwittingly and then you got pulled over and you had to pay the roadworthy and the region which is amazing isn't it like that's an incredible day in god uh or when you forget to pay your phone bill and then you get that call from the number with no caller id and then one of those robots is talking to you i know it's getting real this morning right but we've all been there we've all forgotten stuff that actually matters a whole lot i want to ask maybe all the couples if you're dating if you're married in in the chat just let me know have you ever forgotten your anniversary i mean we all know how important an anniversary is you know it's where you remember something significant that happened and those days those anniversary days remind us of what's most important what matters most and i love anniversaries but if i'm to be real honest they've changed over the years right like remember when you were younger and you counted the days that you were dating all the weeks that you had been together you didn't even walk you didn't wait for for an uh a one-year anniversary an annual anniversary now you're like we've been together for 54 days you know and uh one day mel forgot our one month anniversary and i was hurt i was hurt that she forgot something as significant as our 30 days of being together i know you think it's petty i know you're like you know does it even matter that much but it mattered to me it meant it a whole lot to me i mean how could you forget your one month it's only been four weeks since we started dating how short is your memory right can you imagine forgetting something that significant when it only happened a month before now in hindsight my one month of dating mel wasn't really an anniversary it wasn't really as important as what i thought that it was right but sometimes an anniversary like that matters a whole lot more than you think let's go back to verse 1. it says the whole israelite community set out from alim and came to the desert of sin which is between lim and sinai on the 15th day of the second month after they had come out of egypt and that's significant because the 15th day of the second month marked exactly one month from when god had set them free from egypt it was exactly one month from when god used moses to split the sea for them to walk across on dry ground and close the walls of water back over the egyptian army they had waited over 400 years for that moment and one month after it happened after seeing the promise become a reality they forgot what god had done for them they forgot that god was their provider they forgot that god was their protector that god made a way when there was no way they forgot because they were hungry i mean let's just get this straight they weren't even experiencing hunger they were anticipating hunger because the supplies that they had they just started to run out so they were still eating and they still had food didn't even run out but they were anticipating a hunger they were so used to how things were that they panicked when they were faced with something different we all think it at times that we don't have enough that we're lacking that we're struggling when in reality god has given us everything that we need and our fear is actually more in anticipation than an experience it's actually the fear of anticipating of what might happen well i might go hungry i might lose my job i might fail right i might not have enough why do we worry so much about what might happen what does it change see it wasn't that long ago that they saw god do the impossible and i want to ask were their memory is really that short their faith problem started with a memory problem can i tell you this morning that short memories lead to shallow futures in god we can look forward to our future with confidence when we have the wisdom to look back and see how far god has taken us i want to encourage you this morning don't forget to remember don't allow the distractions and realities of what we see to cause us to forget what he says and what he's done because god will fulfill every word that he speaks don't forget to remember that he who began a good work in you will see it to completion don't forget to remember that he will work all things someone say all things together for the good of those who love him don't forget to remember that you need only be still and know that he is lord don't forget to remember that god has a purpose for your life for your family and nothing that you are experiencing will ever be able to cancel what god has planned for you don't forget to remember that we are god's church and the gates of hell will not prevail against us don't forget to remember that god's promises for your location for your ministry for enjoy church and the church were made even though he already knew the difficulty that we would face don't forget to remember that what you carry is significant that you are a child of god and you walk with an authority that comes from the holy spirit don't allow circumstance difficulty the opinions of people to take your focus off of jesus and i know what you're thinking you're thinking i agree with that i agree with all of that but how how do i keep my eyes fixed on jesus how do i overcome what i'm going through right now how can i believe for tomorrow when i'm just trying to get through today you don't need a big change you just need to make small adjustments consistently and i know what you're saying again hell that's a great statement but how practically tell me well here's some things that we can do don't let your feet touch the ground before you talk with jesus in the morning start with what you're thankful for instead of what you need don't leave the house in the morning without reading his word don't end the day without activating your faith somehow even if it's as small as sending a message to someone that's struggling simple beat spectacular when it's done regularly and the solution is usually so simple but we always struggle with the simplest things we all do we struggle with transition we struggle with patience we struggle to wait on god even though it's simple and it's not because we have an issue with what god speaks but with his schedule right like i never heard of anybody struggle with what god promises no no i i don't want that peace that's a pastor's understanding i don't want that for my life you know or maybe i've never heard someone say uh don't be ridiculous why would i want grace if it's a free gift i want to work for my salvation i mean if god blesses me another way i don't think that i could handle it you know like i think i'm good for the rest of my life none of us say that i've never heard anyone say that because most of us don't struggle with what god says but we do struggle with his schedule i mean sarah didn't laugh at god when he promised a son because she took issue with what he said but where he scheduled it i'm almost a hundred like now you're going to give me a son why couldn't you do when i was 40 or 50 and i had more patience and i had more time what about the man who got healed by the pool of bethesda he waited 38 years and i don't think he had an issue with what jesus said to him but maybe where he scheduled it like why did i have to wait 38 years before i got to walk before i got my miracle the israelites didn't take issue with what god said they were all for the promised land but they had an issue with where he scheduled it couldn't you take us there before we started to run out of food couldn't we arrive straight after you split the sea the trouble that we have with god is usually timing but we need to remind ourselves of jeremiah 29 11 for i know the plans i have for you i'll read that again for i know the plans i have for you declares the lord plans to prosper you and not to harm your plans to give you a hope and a future can i ask you a question who knows the plans that god has for you god does who knows the schedule of what he said god does not us god knows the plans that he has for us so we need to remind ourselves to adjust our thinking because it's not a matter of if but when it's not if god will provide for your family but when he does it's not if god will take us through this wilderness of covet but when he does it's not if god will heal you it's when he does come on i need someone to agree with me in the chat right now it's not if it's when his word isn't a possibility it's a certainty he will come through and i'm here to tell you this morning that he's not finished with you yet he's not finished with us yet he's just getting started but we need to decide that we're not going to struggle with god's scheduling anymore we're going to trust his timing hindsight says that i can trust him with what's next if he wants me to wait a hundred years before i have a kid if he wants me to wait by a pool for 38 years if he wants to take me through the wilderness if he wants to take me through a storm in a boat count me in because i would rather be on a boat in the middle of a storm than watching from the shore i'm gonna trust his time put that in the chat right now i trust his timing because timing is everything the transition from where god has taken you from to where he's taking you to requires time and trust the hardest time to recognize and understand what god is doing fully is when you're in the middle when you're in the transition verse number four then the lord said to moses i will rain down bread from heaven for you the people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day in this way i will test them and see whether they follow my instructions on the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in and that is to be twice as much as they gather on the other days exodus 16 13 15 that evening quail came and covered the camp and in the morning there was a layer of jew around the camp when the jew was gone thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor when the israelites saw it they said to each other what is it for they did not know what it was moses said to them it is the bread the lord has given you to eat do you ever read the bible and think man if only you knew what was happening i mean can't they see that they're in the middle of a miracle i mean how significant what they were carrying was what god was taking them through and how much that would mean that people would be remembering and referencing what god did for them thousands of years later do you think that maybe god looks at our lives playing out and thinks to himself if only you knew maybe we're actually in the middle of a miracle maybe we don't actually realize how significant what we carry is why do you think that you're insignificant why do you think that it doesn't matter what you do that what you bring isn't valuable sometimes we can't see the significance of what's right in front of us i was hanging out with uh felipe sanchez a little while ago and if you don't know him he's an incredible worship leader and an incredible person and he was actually the first creative leader that i had when i became youth pastor that's why you know he needs extra grace and extra anointing you know to cover all of my deficiencies why don't we show uh felipe some love in the chat i know you love me he's an incredible guy and as we were walking and talking he was telling me how different a song will sound from when it's a voice memo to the finished track that's the part that a lot of us don't get to see when when they're just you know writing songs or playing the piano or playing their guitar and then they just get an idea and they they put their get their phone out and they record just a rough sound the rough melody rough lyrics maybe it doesn't even make sense right we don't get to see that but he was telling me how many demos are discarded in the process when people can't see the potential in it but when you recognize the potential and commit to the process you get the satisfaction of what it sounds like when it's complete it was showing me uh some of the voice memos right so i'm gonna play one for you right now oh you gave it oh lord i didn't deserve it but somehow i'm worth it you'll want to try i'm sorry lord darkness can try but it feels the same right so that that's that's an old version that's just the voice member it's not the finished article and everyone gave up gave up on it but he saw the potential and kept working on it and he got to see the finished product why don't we check out how that sounds the finished product [Music] just a quick shout out uh if you haven't checked out enjoy worship on spotify you should do that now because there's plenty more good songs where that came from right the voice memo the original idea wasn't insignificant it was just incomplete so the transition from the prison that god had taken his people from to the promise that he was taking them to wasn't insignificant it was just incomplete can i tell you what god is doing in your life isn't insignificant it's just in complete it may not seem like much but god can see the potential we just need to commit to the process and trust him in the transition how long are you going to listen to the lie that you will never do anything of worth how long are you going to believe the lie that what you do for god and how you live for him doesn't matter you are valuable what you carry is significant don't be so caught up in what you can see that you lose sight of what he said it may look like there's no way forward but god has a plan it may look like all there is is problems but god has given you a promise it may not look like what you thought it would but god has the final say god wants me to tell you this morning that it's not over he wants you to know that the devil will try to do everything possible for you to believe the lie that you don't matter that god can't use you to make a difference but god wants you to know that you carry his presence you carry his authority you carry his purpose you are significant and the only person that can stop you from becoming who he's called you to be is you what god is leading us to is greater than where he's taken us from the israelites were holding on to what was so tightly that they missed what could have been whether they say we we were slaves but at least we ate meat what was we'll never be able to compare with what will be with jesus don't focus so much on what was good before that you lose sight on how much better life is now with jesus exodus 16 verse 14. when the jew was gone thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor when the israelites saw it they said to each other what is it for they did not know what it was moses said to them it is the bread the lord has given you to eat manna what is it that's what the israelites called they didn't even know what it was and that's why they named it what is it it's bread from heaven check this out in john chapter 6 30-31 so they asked him jesus that is what sign them will you give that we may be able to see and believe you what will you do you know because our ancestors ate manna in the wilderness as it is written he gave them bread from heaven to e and this is jesus response in verse 35 jesus declared i am the bread of life whoever comes to me will never go hungry whoever believes in me will never be thirsty we have a new future in jesus a new future something new and what was will never be able to compare with what is with jesus we all know that scripture right 2nd corinthians 5 17 therefore if anyone is in christ and the new creation has come the old is gone the new is here when you break it down there's actually two different words used for new neos and kainos see neos means recent like it is new but it's from the same kind as the old kinos is something that's authentically new not just new but distinctively different from anything that came before see we read about the promised land we read about the provision the protection the purpose of god's people in the old testament but the reality is that it can never compare to what we have now in jesus with a new covenant we have a new future a new hope a new identity in christ and nothing else can compare to what he wants to do in and through you we carry the holy spirit the authority and power of god we have a different kind of confidence today jesus hasn't taken us this far to only take us this far jesus didn't pull us out of that pit just to leave us in another one he didn't save us just to forsake us now don't ever forget to remember where god has taken us from and more importantly where he's taking us to wherever you are right now could you just stand stand to your feet and i want to pray for you i want to declare this prayer over you because i truly believe that whatever was will not compare to what will be in god let's not hold so tightly on how things were the good old days that we miss the better thing that god has planned for us and i believe that the holy spirit wants to fill every single person in you because we all need his anointing we all need his peace we all need his strength in this season because we can't do it by ourselves and the good things we don't have to right lord god i thank you and praise you for every man for every woman for every family lord your word promises us that trouble actually will come but it also says that you'll be there with us when it does it also says that you have overcome the world so lord we're not actually going to pray for you to remove and for the absence of trouble and problems but we're going to ask for your presence in the middle of it and i ask holy spirit that you would fill every single person that's watching in right now because we all need a strength and a peace and a joy that only you can provide i ask lord that if we've forgotten if we've become impatient along the way if we've taken our eyes off of you that you would remind us of where you've taken us from remind us of all the times that you've come through all the prayers that you've answered all the things that you've done and maybe open our eyes to the things that you are doing right now that we're failing to see lord i ask that you would bless your people that you would protect us so that on the other side whatever the enemy used to destroy us you would actually use as a foundation to build us what the enemy intended for evil you would turn it around for the good of your church and for your people in jesus name we pray and everyone said amen amen amen i just want to take a moment right now to invite you to enter into a relationship with jesus say we can hear all of this stuff but the reality is that it all flows from a relationship with god and according to that scripture that when you have a relationship with jesus you become a new creation i want to emphasize that kindness new distinctively different and i believe that when we enter into a relationship with jesus he actually radically transforms us inside out and it's hard to explain it's hard to explain but when you experience it you realize what you've been missing all along see before i accepted jesus i always knew that there was something missing from my life i always knew that there was something that i didn't have and when i entered into a relationship with him it was like my eyes were open and my spirit came alive and my life was never the same again it's actually the best decision that you could ever make and it's as simple as saying yes i want to give my life to jesus and so if you're saying today that you want to give your life to jesus maybe you know you've done it before and this season has messed you up a bit and maybe you're actually far from him right now and you want to recommit your life to him that that's all good there's nothing wrong with that in fact i think that we should always be turning our eyes back to jesus but maybe you don't even know who jesus is and i want to encourage you you're not going to understand everything before you experience jesus but i really believe that when we say yes without understanding all the details and all of that and we we commit to him in faith then he begins to reveal things to us and he begins to show things to us god has an incredible plan for your life an incredible future it all starts with jesus so if you're saying yes i want to get my life right i want a relationship with jesus then i want you to click that raised hand option that just popped up in the chat and if you're watching it on facebook just type in the chat i want jesus right and one of our team is going to pray with you after but right now if you've made that decision i would love to pray for you right i'm going to make it really easy all you have to do is repeat after me dear jesus i thank you for loving me first i thank you for dying for me and i thank you that in you i have forgiveness lord i'm sorry for all my mistakes and i choose from this day on to live my life devoted to you in jesus name we pray and everybody said amen amen love you

you know that the smallest planet in our solar system is mercury if you thought it was pluto you would have been right a few years ago but pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in our solar system so mercury became the smallest planet there are four planets that are known as the gas giants of our solar system they are jupiter saturn uranus and neptune gas giants are composed mostly of helium and or hydrogen mars has the biggest volcano that we know of so far and venus has super powerful winds scientists believe that mercury is still shrinking as a planet and has been for many many years and the final fast fact is all of the planets in the solar system rotate around the sun the earth takes 365 days to rotate around the sun and that is how we get a calendar year [Music] hello i am your

it out do you need some help welcome to our god of wonders series have you ever looked up into the sky and just wondered how it was all made have you ever thought to yourself how amazing and wondrous all of creation is i know i have just imagine what it would be like if you could be up close to the planets imagine walking on mars jumping on the moon standing next to the sun or even floating through the galaxy since i was a kid i have always been into space and planets and all the amazing things that are in our galaxy it is something that has always interest me and still does today when i look at the wonders of the universe i can't help but wonder about how it all came to be how someone so amazing and powerful must have made it all and placed it all together and we know that our god the creator of the universe and everything in it made this how do we know that well that's a good question let's take a look at scripture right at the beginning of the bible in genesis chapter 1 verses 1 to 5 it says in the beginning god created the sky and the earth the earth was empty and had no form darkness covered the ocean and god's spirit was moving over the water then god said let there be light and there was light god saw that the light was good so he divided the light from the darkness god named the light day and the darkness night evening passed and morning came this was the first day this scripture tells us clearly that in the beginning god created he was the author who put everything together let's keep on reading and see what else it says reading from verse 6 then god said let there be something to divide the water into two so god made the air to divide the water into some of the water was above the air and some of the water was below it god named the air sky evening passed and morning came this was the second day then god said let the water under the sky be gathered together so the dry land will appear and it happened god named the dry land earth he named the water that was gathered together seas god saw that this was good the passage goes on to say that god created the seasons plants trees animals and us humans the wonder and power of god is so amazing that i can't help but imagine everything that he has created and be blown away and when i think about this i can see that god created the universe because all of the elements for creation to happen and to have life on earth were so perfectly planned that it was obviously on purpose everything needing to keep life on this planet and the position of the sun and other planets is done so perfectly that it shows me it was made and positioned by our god here are some more amazing fun facts about our world that i think you will find very interesting these facts show us how perfect and magnificent our father god is fact number one the sun is so big that around 1 million earths could fit inside the sun if our earth was around 5 closer to our sun all the water would turn to gas and if it was around 20 further away from the sun all the water would become ice and not enough sunlight would reach the land our sun is positioned perfectly so we have sunlight warmth and life on the planet and things can grow fact number two our moon controls the rise and fall of the tides on earth if the moon was positioned differently for example much closer to earth the tides of the oceans across the world would be much larger and flood the land and cities thank god he has positioned the moon just perfectly for us fact number three stars sing that's right they sing one star in particular called the vela pulsa spins around so fast that it sends out a rhythmic drum beat that doesn't stop and that is one of many stars that sing out you see kids even the heavens sing out to their creator and we god's most precious creation sing out to him in praise and worship all throughout the bible it talks about god's wonderful creation and his amazing power here are just a few scriptures that mention this jeremiah chapter 32 verse 17 lord god with your great power you made the earth and the sky there is nothing too hard for you to do psalm chapter 33 verse 6 the lord spoke the command and the world was made the breath from his mouth created everything in the heavens john chapter 1 verse 3 everything was made through him and nothing was made without him there are many more scriptures that you can read in the bible about god's wondrous power you see no matter how much we learn about god's creation we can only begin to understand just the tip of how far how wide and how amazing all of creation really is how our god created it all but the best part that i love out of everything is this our god who is so powerful and so awesome who created the whole wonders of the universe cares about you and me so much that he was willing to give his only son jesus so that we can spend eternity with him he is so amazingly powerful and yet so gentle and understanding that he listens to our prayers and knows every detail about us you see kids god is not too big that he hasn't got time for us or hear us in fact it is the very opposite our god knows every thought you have every prayer you say and every moment of your future and he loves you and cares for you more than anything he has created in the entire universe that is the wondrous love and power of our father god the same god who created this universe and everything in it and holds it in the palm of his hand is the same god who cares and knows everything about you so the next time you look up into the sky and wonder about all of god's creation remember that this very awesome and powerful god is the same god who loves you and is with you be blessed kids what's cracky lacking kitten mania welcome to this week's quiz and i
