326 ~ PSALM 126

God appointed King Cyrus, a pagan king to rescue His people. Today, in Christ, God has kept a remnant for Himself who will receive the rain of his favour and purpose so that they live set apart and consecrated for his purposes. As Pastor Gershom shares from Isaiah 45, we hope that you will be encouraged to rest and recieve God’s rain over your life.

The baptism of Jesus is one of the earliest moments of the heavens opening over the earth to reveal the Father’s heart. We have Ebenezer sharing today about the significance of this moment as we see all three persons of the Trinity together.

As we enter the last three months of the year, we are bracing ourselves for a season of the heavens dropping their dew over us with blessing and favour. Today we look at how God’s provision comes to us and fills us to the brim, much like the dew of Heaven.

As we close out the series on ‘Prepare the Land’ we look today at the lost lands of our life. The things that we have lost over time because of sin, complacency or mishandling. We look today at how God helps us get back the lands we lost and take up more territory.

All our lives have certain areas that are dry and barren. These spaces feel completely devoid of the hand of God and often can leave us feeling hopeless. We see today how the Holy Spirit is the only one who can flood these places with his presence and power, turning them too into fertile and fruitful areas.

As we wait for the heavens to open and drop their dew, we must prepare the land that we have cleared. To prepare it, we must know the condition of the land. Today we look at our lives and examine if there is any unfruitful land in it. If there is, God is willing to restore fruitfulness to it.

Restoration is a journey and not a destination. The psalmist reminds us of this in Psalm 126. Today, Ebenezer teaches us from this poignant Psalm of all that God has done in the past and can be counted on to do in the future.

We have Jenifer sharing God’s word today from Psalm 65. She gives us a deeper understanding of the divine providence of God, and helps us respond to Him in ways that He created us to.

We have guest speaker Pastor Vasudevan with us today, who will be sharing with us on the topic ‘How to live in freedom from sin’. We pray that as you listen in, you would discover fresh ways to live in liberty.

Even as each of us have a territory that God is calling us to possess and steward for his glory, there is a requirement to prepare the land that we are staking claim to. We look at the psalms to understand what it looks like to keep our eyes on God as we walk into all that he has marked for us to take hold of. Today we study Psalm 67 together and ask God to help us break hardened ground and prepare it to yield richly.
