World Harvest Bible Church

Do you still feed your children or do they feed themselves now? When did you teach them to feed themselves? How about reading the Bible and hearing from God, do the feed themselves spiritually yet? And how about you, do you what to be fed on a Sunday or do you feed yourself daily by reading the Bible?

The Bathroom is where we get clean: 1) Getting clean should be fun and enjoyable. It should be something we look forward to. god wants us to like being pure. 2) Dirt is dirt. It doesn't matter if it is a little thing or a big thing, we still need to wash it off the same. We shouldn't compromise because we think it's only a small issue. 3) We need to be quick to say sorry and quick to forgive so we can live in a right relationship with one another.

Sometimes we need to just stop what we are doing and spend time together as a family. Pastor Claire looks at various ways parents and children can spend quality time together and make each other feel valued. We must all lift their head out from distractions like phones, tablets and books and truly engage with each other. Parents need to take time to go outside with their children and spend quality time with them. Arrange a quality "date" with your child on a regular basis with your children individually.

The people you hang out with will rub off on you, but you can choose to remove all the bad things you have picked up when you arrive home, just like you remove dirty shoes and don’t spread mud throughout your house. When you spend time with wise people you become wise, but when we spend time with the un-saved (as we must), we need to be careful that we don’t allow ourselves to become covered in them.

Pastor Alan looks at some of the testimonies of people from various backgrounds including Muslim, Jewish and Christian, of how God revealed Himself to them in their different lifestyles. What their expectations were and how their lives changed as a result.

How do you know that something is true? Can anything be said to be 100% correct and proven? Pastor Alan shares his story of why he started asking questions and the journey they took him on. He also talks about what can happen when you give God the opportunity to show himself.

If God has told you to do something, He has set up divine encounters for you where your life will change as well as theirs. All you need to do is be obedient and walk in faith. God doesn't leave you stranded and speechless. He gives you the words to say by putting them in your mouth. We have been commanded to Love. We Love with God's love and God's love overflows in us, takes over us, moves us. It means you act in Love before you've even thought about it. Lets go with the attitude of letting others taste of your fruit, go with a mindset of Peace, a mindset of Love, a mindset of Joy. So that the way we act and talk will be a testimony to others. Just go and Do, and He will.

A portrait is an artistic thing that displays the mood, altitude & personality of a person. What does your portrait say about you? God has given you a new portrait that shines with the Glory of God and is full of Love. You have been made in His image! Your portrait is sinless! The part of you that wanted to sin is dead, it can not be in control! It's now only temptation and even then, He has promised that you will never be given more than you can cope with. You have a divine nature, you are sinless! Your path is laid with your words, your tongue is your rudder, all you have to do is walk in what He has already done to walk in the divine nature.

As you discover and learn who Christ is the more you learn who you are, as you learn his purpose you learn your purpose. Only through Jesus and the Word of God will you discover who you are and why you exist. Joy comes with finding who you are and what your purpose is, it gives you energy, it gives you durability, it is fruitful and satisfying. Joy doesn't have ups and downs, it is constant and sustaining and it enables you to "Finish the race." The grace has been given to you to finish because you share in His grace. He will finish what He has started in you.

Sometimes our zeal isn't based on knowledge and zeal without knowledge is no good, but knowledge without zeal isn't much good either! We need to know the righteousness that comes from God, so that we can submit to it and can be zealous correctly rather than establish our own righteousness. We can't do this in our own strength, but He is the Lord our right thinking, the Lord who defines what is right thinking and allows us to be zealous in the knowledge of the righteousness that comes from God. He is the Lord who defines the right decision so I can do the right thing and the Lord my righteousness in my decision making.

Jesus didn't just die for our sins, He made a way for us to be completely transformed into a new creation. Joy shows us how profound and complete that change is.

Being generous is like planting seeds in our lives, when we plant generosity in out lives and the lives of those around us we can grow and nurture further generosity.

Can we be generous with things other than money? What about our time? Do we know all the jobs that et completed during the week and how much preparation goes into a Sunday Service? Can you help out during the week or perhaps by joining a Sunday Team?

After God's generosity towards us, we are able to see, through Christ, God's glory. Having received this we need to live on Earth in a way that shows that to those around us.

We have been made right with God. unless you let them, no one can take that away from you. We need to fight and protect our righteousness. To do this we have been given the Armour Of God, but having the Armour is no good if we don't know how to use it and who to use it against. Who is our enemy? Who are our Allies? Who is the Commander? Where is the enemy? Pastor Claire explains how we can effectively use the armour God has given us to protect and defend ourselves.

We have had an amazing week. Last Sunday we launched the CAP Debt centre, this week Food Bank goest to a second day, and on Saturday Barny & Beccy got Married. But we also had one of our friends promoted to glory. Martin Otto, our Accountant and a member of the Church Staff was diagnosed with lung cancer four years ago. This weeks message shares how he and his wife walked in faith ever since. This message is very personal to the Otto family and we have decided no to publish it as a podcast. If you want to listen to this message please email scott.west@whbcmanchester.com for a copy.

Bob King talks about signs and wonders as we have a time of healing at Encounter Night.

Ellie Gage from Cap UK tells us about the work that cap does throughout the UK and explains how our dept centre fits into that national plan.

God is in the restoration business- God can restore the things that have been stolen from you, leave it with Him and he will take you back to the place of blessing and prosperity.

Pastor Alan takes us through the history of the Passover it’s traditions, explaining why it is important to us today.
