Continuing with the breakthrough series Roy brings inspiration from Paul’s encounter with the snake in Malta. Shake off the things that are holding you back from God’s plan and you’ll truly live a life of breakthrough.

Roy Morley Sunday 4th July 2010

Roy kickstarts his new series today on breakthrough. We live in a fast paced technoligical world where there is always a new upgrade just  round the corner. We can often forget that God wants us to grow into new and greater people. He wants us to breakthrough to a new level in Christ. Today’s message will inspire you to do just that.

Roy shares a word undoubtedly from God’s heart to the church today. God is starting his engines ready to move powerfully in Sittingbourne. The  rain is coming, Expect it and be Ready. If you missed the meeting this Sunday listening to this message is essential. If you’ve already heard it, listen again.

What a blessing it is to have Roy as our senior leader. He has a huge passion for God and loves bringing inspiration to the Church from His word. Roy is on top form today as he shares about living life with our eyes fixed on Jesus. Its a simple message but its application will have a profound affect on your life. Go on….have a Listen!

Roy was on his usual top form this morning as he shares about the importance of growth. You’ll find todays message uplifting and encouraging as Roy shares a few tips on how to keep growing in your faith.

Enjoy the message and we pray that you are challenged to the point of action.

People are searching for real heroes. There is a deep truth here that strikes a chord in all of us. We want people who can inspire us, make us laugh, cry and usually all at the same time. We want people who can make us dream bigger, see further, do greater. And even sports start can’t quite fit the pedestal we want to place them on. Starts promoted as ‘the family guy’ one day are then splashed across the News of the World for tawdry antics that are shameful.

In reality no human being can ever reach the place of perfection, be the role model require for our children etc. And that is because as human beings, as we ourselves know, we are all flawed. We all have weaknesses and strengths. And as much as we would only want to focus on the strengths, sooner or later the weaknesses can be seen.

Whenever I am confronted by another news headline talking about the downfall or disgrace of so and so, I am so glad my hero is not to be found in a man or a woman.

The greatest hero we can look to is Jesus. The son of God, and God the son (even that sentence contains truths hard for our heads to understand). Someone who shows us what life is really about and how to live it. He who places other above self, and loves sacrificially (and how hard is that!). He who refuses to give up on others, and chooses to forgive when He had every right to bring down wrath from heaven. He who heals the broken, even when some are broken by their own bad choices. He is the master rebuilder.

Jesus cares about the depressed, the imprisoned, the sad, the lonely. He cares about the successful and the ambitious. Jesus refocuses our priorities (if we let Him) and teaches us on what matters and what really doesn’t (he has quite a lot to say about money for instance).

Jesus is not meek and mild though as He is often painted. he talks about a coming judgement and urges us to use the life God has given us to fulfil His plans and purposes (rather than squandor our lives on getting and never giving). This year you need to make a choice. Who’s life will you be living – yours? – Or the one Jesus planned for you? Fix your eyes on Jesus, follow Him and be amazed at what he can do through you.

Sometimes in life we can get confused, for many reasons – it’s normal and to be expected. This week Roy Morley takes a look at the biblical encounters with confusion and fantastically explains the solution!

Near the end of this message, Roy refers to a recording of the Chris Moyles breakfast show on BBC Radio 1 last week, for those that haven’t seen or heard it yet, we will put it on our website for those interested.
