The Catch Was Never the Point

In the final part of the Overflow series, Pastor Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani opens Luke 5:33–39. New wine needs new wineskins. Jesus did not come to patch up our old life. He came to give us a new one. Make room (2 Corinthians 5:17), stay full (John 15:4–5, Ephesians 5:18) and pour it out (John 7:37–39). From the woman at the well to the cross, where Jesus poured out the new covenant in His blood.Watch the full message: https://youtu.be/kK1Uo2vl8V0

In Part 2 of the Overflow series, Pastor Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani opens Acts 2:1–4 and asks one question: what is the fire for? God does not fill us to make us famous, but to make Jesus known. Build the altar (1 Kings 18), fan the flame (Leviticus 6, 2 Timothy 1:6–7) and carry the fire (Acts 1:8). Peter's three fires show that your failure does not have to be your future.Watch the full message: https://youtu.be/TamPLENIXRc
