Are you satisfied with where you are with the Lord? Are you settling down with yesterday's achievements?

Bishop Franco Onaga from Watoto Ministries in Uganda, challenges us to prepare for a new anointing from God, and to prepare for a new move of God in your life. Sadly however, so many of us are stuck in our old ways when we need to open our eyes because God is doing something new.

Is your faith like walking on water, without doubting Jesus' power? Do you dare to leave the boat?

Pastor Francis Kalembera continues with our theme of Deepening our Roots, by taking us through the book of 2 Peter 1 - encouraging us to face our fears and to keep our eyes focused on Jesus Christ. Although we may feel like failure at times, just as Peter felt when he denied Christ and had little faith in Him, we are reminded throughout Scripture that God uses imperfect people for His purpose.

If Jesus can use faith the size of a mustard seed to work miracles, just imagine what He will do if we deepen our roots in Christ who strengthens and grows our faith.

It doesn't matter what it looks like where you are today - good, bad or indifferent. Today is the day of new beginning. You can start afresh today. You can choose to do it right now. You can choose to deepen your roots into the soil of discipleship, so you are consistently and constantly becoming transformed into the image of Christ Jesus.

Pastor Harlyn Purdy returns to the Book of Isaiah 61 for the second and final installment of the sermon titled, "Deepening our Roots".

Join Pastor Harlyn Purdy for today's message from Isaiah 61: Deepening Our Roots. When a tree takes root, it is not long before you begin to see the effects above ground. It's the same way with people. The deeper you root your life in Christ Jesus, the stronger you will become.

Of all the ways the Lord God Almighty could have chosen to relate to humanity, He chose the language of family. Therefore it is no wonder the family unit has always played an important role in the outworking of God's purposes on earth. However in today’s demanding world we find that more and more parents are not keeping to what really matters, rather neglect their personal devotional lives, their husbands or wives, and their children.

Today's message reminds us of the scriptural priority of God first, family second, career and ministry third. Although parents are responsible to provide for their children's material needs, their primary role is to provide spiritual and moral training of their children.

We all have a need to be loved, cherished, protected, and valued. Many times earthly fathers do not live up to the ideal, God promises that, in Him, no one has to be without a perfect Father. And we can come to our heavenly Father through our Savior Jesus Christ.
