350 degrees, 4 turns, 16 minutes = medium well steak hot off the barbeque. Give me a nice hunk of beef or chiicken, a good barbeque, the right spices and I am laughing. I know how to barbeque. I know what to expect when the conditions are right and I know the quality of food that is produced - delicious. For fear that I am setting myself up for failure the next time you are over for a bite to eat, work with me on this illustration. Rick Warren in his book "Purpose Driven Life" says "God is not just the starting point of your life; He is the source of it. To discover your purpose in life you must turn to God's word, not the world's wisdom. You must build your life on eternal truths, not pop psychology, success-motivation or inspirational stories." To me, that statement describes perfectly, Transformissional Living. Being established on a foundation that gives you the confidence to live the life God has called you to. Authentic, passionate and fun. It should be a life that comes as naturally as what you know you can do well, like cooking steaks. Key Passage: Colossians 1:9b-10

Standing in the Gap
Over the next 4 weeks we are going to talk about the call to transform our culture through missional living. "Missional" seems to be the latest "buzz-word" in the evangelical world; it describes a life that is lived "on mission". It is a concept that fits well with Jesus teaching that we are to be agents of change in our world. Jesus used metaphors of salt and light and yeast. Paul called us to be ambassadors. How should Kelowna be different because we were here? To begin this series, we begin by looking at the incredible power God has entrusted to His people, and the expression of that power through our prayers. We have been given authority to bind and loose on earth in the name of Jesus. Do we have any idea of the power given to us? Key Passage: Ezekial 22:30

The Christian Pattern
The sermon "Christian Pattern" provides a clear understanding to the way of the cross in the life of a Christian believer. From the enemies of the cross, to being a citizen of the cross, to a friend of the cross, the story is one of hope and resurrection.

It's Africa's Hour
Floyd unburdens his heart to South Africans and those called to work in South Africa to seize the opportunity to help build the new South Africa. Speaking from Psalm 78, verse 9, "...they turned back in the day of battle" he reminds South Africans that they have a destiny to be pioneers, adventurers, and explorers, and encourages those who are willing to give themselves to God's purposes for healing and transforming South Africa. A deeply challenging message to not live in fear but faith for South Africa's future as a nation.

More Than Just Forgiveness
A lot of times we limit our understanding of salvation to that initial experience of God's forgiveness. But forgiveness is only the first step. The larger experience of salvation is our restoration into the people that God created us to be.

John 4:1-42 - The Outcast Revival
The Samaritan woman that Jesus talked to at the well was an outcast in a society of outcasts yet she was transformed by Christ and used to start a revival in her town. In the same way Jesus can use walking disasters like us to work in people's lives if we are simply willing to share the truth about Christ and how He has changed our lives.
