The greatest “dare” challenge ever in the history of mankind,
“If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes”, Jesus
Jesus Christ paid the price for you to step into your best life. The only criteria is … BELIEVE.

One vision – our vision 2012: “One salvation per committed member in 2012″.
In this message Ps Jorge lays out the vision of C3 Church for 2012. Wherever you are in the world, get behind your local church vision, jump in and see your city revolutionised for Christ.
Last week we covered that fact that God speaks to us. He wants to speak to us because He wants to enter into a relationship with us where there is 2-way communication. The issue is not that He doesn’t speak, but that we don’t listen, or we don’t hear His voice or we don’t understand because His voice is choked up in the the midst of everything else that might be happening in our world.
Ever had the feeling that God might be speaking to you, or steering you in a particular direction but you are not sure. His voice seems a little mirky in the mix with all other voices in the world.
In this message, I explored 7 simple but practical ways that I use to filter out all other voices and be absolutely sure that what I’m hearing is God’s voice (His leading and guiding).
Feel free to comment and ask questions.
HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD – in this message Ps Jorge uses illustrations from the animated movie, “Horton Hears a Who”, to explore this very important theme – hearing the voice of God.
Does God speak to people? Yes He does! We often think that He is not because:
Many people say, “I just want to be happy”. However, happiness is just a feeling that swings one way or another according to external factors and circumstances. Hence, depending on what is happening in my world, I may feel happy one day but sad on another day.
So what people really mean when they say that they want to be happy, is that they want a sense of life fulfilment and satisfaction and enjoyment. That’s something that comes from the inside and is not so much influenced by outside factors. I may feel sad today but I can still have a deep sense of life satisfaction. That is the very thing that Jesus said He came to give us. In fact, most people can spend their whole life trying to find, or rather, fill that void. But Jesus made it clear that He is the only One that can totally and perfectly fill that void.
In my hand written message below I explore this issue, unpackage what the Bible says and how it relates to our lives. Feel free to comment or ask any questions.
Here is my list, to be updated as I complete my readings and decide which book to read next:
Why bother with a sermon calendar?
Some people say that such a thing takes away the power of the working of the Holy Spirit. I say the opposite is true. The Bible says, “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” (Proverbs 16:3). In other words, if you fail to plan you plan to fail.
Here are some obvious advantages of planing the sermons months ahead:
Getting the year started right means identifying and declaring the accomplished work of Jesus Christ on the cross over the unfolding of the days to come. Be encouraged in this brief message.
He is … Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
