This week we had the pleasure of having Fernanda and Fred Barros come and speak from Iris ministries in Rio Brazil.

Fernanda gave a word on God's provision in the wilderness and desert seasons and our need to ask and lean on Him for help.

In every season we need Gods provision

And we have the freedom to go into Gods presence with vulnerability

Also, His grace gives us a place to be vulnerable with each other

Genius 21:8-20

Perhaps like Haggi you are in the desert

But God sees you in the desert and He has provision for you

If the enemy can’t lead us to sin through temptation he will use distraction. This often latches onto us when we are weary, even when we get tired of doing good things.

Although, the Lord wants to draw us even closer in these times, into His perfect love and covenant. It is in these times that we need to know He is our banner. Run to Him in times of need, then also reach out to your brothers and sisters in Christ!

Sam Garfoot is a great father in the house and elder in our church. For this Sunday Sam brought a word to remind us of the power of the cross, that Jesus gave us His righteousness.

1 John 2:28 - everyone that practises righteousness is of Him and has been born again

1 John 3:1-3 - this is how the Lord sees us as His children!

This is a constant purifying of our heart as we behold and walk with Him.

This isn't something that we have to strive for, but just come to Him in humility and let Him move us.
