New Creation Church Loughborough

"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost," (Luke 19:10). Jesus loves people, and wants them to be saved, restored and released into their role in preparing for the coming New Creation. Do you feel the heart of God, his compassion for people? Ask him to make it real to you, then begin to listen to people's backstory and find creative ways to "disciple" them - leading them towards the Saviour and the Good Shepherd, even before they believe in him.

More than two chapters in the book of Revelation are devoted to the fall of "Babylon". Why so much emphasis, and what does it mean for us? Learn to recognise and resist the enticing and intoxicating pull of the anti-God world, so you can praise God for his victory and join in the celebration when what currently stands against you one day comes crashing down.

Do you know what it is to be led by God? Taken from Exodus 13:17-22, this message from John Gapelbe will reassure you that God foresees what you need and will lead you in the right paths accordingly. God's faithfulness and fatherly nature will characterise his leading of you. He will teach you to be a son or daughter and a citizen of the kingdom of God, releasing fruitfulness in your life, if you will respond to him and submit to his leading.

In this prophetic message, given by Geoff Brown from Chester, UK, who is part of the Lifelink Global leadership team, we are challenged to recognise that God is calling us to advance. Just as the tribes of ancient Israel changed formation in order to follow the Presence of God when it moved, God is calling us to adapt and follow him, even without knowing how things will turn out. The provision and the presence of God is on the move! Will you follow him into your destiny?

In a shorter episode than normal, this message was given in Queen's Park Loughborough, just before the church went on a "prayer-walk" through the town centre, to pray for and bless the town and region. As children of Abraham, it is through God's people that the blessing given to Abraham finds its way out to the world. When you pray, you become a conduit for blessing, and take part in the reclaiming of the world for God's kingdom!

If you have been "born again" through turning to Christ, you have God's "seed" within you. You carry God's irrepressible life within, which needs to be "sown" in the lives of others in order to produce godly "fruit". We believe, as New Creation Church, that the specific "seed" we carry is that of a pioneering spirit, something we have inherited from others who went before us, and who sowed godly seed within us, which we want to pass on.

The Fear of the Lord is not confined to the Old Testament. Neither is it about terror or anxiety. Though often neglected or explained away, having a healthy fear of God will protect you from foolishness and cause you to grow in wisdom and knowledge. It is a deep reverential awe, an awareness of God's power and holiness, and of his loving but firm discipline. It will guide you in decisions and enhance your love and devotion to God.

In this series, taken from Exodus chapters 12 to 17, you will be challenged in how to live as a Christian who has been liberated from the "Egypt" of this corrupted world, into a true "hope that does not fade". A big part of this is to recognise that your present situation is temporary, and that your responsibility is to live as a "pilgrim", a traveller on a journey with God, not settling for where you currently are and what you have now, but looking ahead to the much greater future that God has in store.
