There is a war inside each of us between the Spirit and our sinful nature. The Spirit wants us to be more like Christ and our flesh wants us back into slavery. According to Paul, to win this battle we must choose, every day, to be led by the Spirit.

The way of the flesh (world) is a trap: living your own way looks like freedom, but it’s a lie. It’s actually slavery.

Paul opens Chapter 5 by driving home the central thesis of his letter to the Galatians: Freedom is at the core of the Gospel.

We tend to insert ourselves into the grace equation. Our western culture emphasizes personal performance and achievement, so it's natural for us to let this mode of thinking distort the nature of the Gospel.

Is there a distinction between renewal, revival and awakening? Well at C4 here is how we use these 3 words.

RENEWAL: is when God touches the heart of a single individual.  

REVIVAL is when God touches a community of faith on mass.

AWAKENING is when the wider society is impacted thought mass conversion and life change.

Disciplines are open to all Christians, they are normative. Spiritual gifts are also expected, normative but are sovereignly assigned. But what about other experiences that don't fall into either category, what do we do with revival? And how is the different and how does that change our expectations?

Revivals always include mass conversions of people to Jesus, and a true awakening takes place. But a common mistake many make is to pair the outworking or unusual manifestations of the Spirit during revival with the gifts that are always present in the daily Christian life. No, the revival settings I’ve described above are not about gifts or disciplines. As we have learned, spiritual disciplines are for all to exercise at any season of life.

Much of the time during revival there is greater power and presence of God, which means the disciplines are used more and the power behind the gifts is stronger. But revival is started and ended only by God.

These seasons are given to send us out and to sustain us over a lifetime. Don’t pair one experience with the other. Some revivals last days, some last years.

Should we pray for, ask for, and expectantly wait for God to move in revival? Absolutely. But if He says, “No,” or “Not yet,” that does not affect the gifts He has given or the disciplines He has modelled.

Faith: The spiritual gift of faith is not saving faith, or walking out our Christian faith in every day life.

The gift of faith is a Spirit-given ability to see something that God wants done and to sustain unwavering confidence that God will do it regardless of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Discernment of Spirits: The gift of discerning of spirits is the special ability God gives to some members of the Body of Christ which enables them to know with assurance whether certain behaviour purported to be of God is in reality divine, human or-satanic. You will get a glimpse of the behind the scenes supernatural reality in a situation, either a mental picture or in reality, you see physical symptoms that lead you to know something is wrong. You will see or sense demons in people, areas, places or situations, you will know when something that looks Godly but is human and about pride.

Working of Power through Miracles: The gift of miracles is the special ability that God gives to certain members of the Body of Christ to serve as human intermediaries through whom it pleases God to perform powerful acts that are perceived by observers to have altered the ordinary course of nature. Again this is casting out demons, raising people from the dead, changing the course of nature but notice it is not physical healing, that is a different gift.

In order to do that, we need to look at what it means to submit them to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.</p> We must never lose sight of the fact that God is a giver. God has shown us the example of how to give (John 3:16). When I give, I'm becoming more like God, I'm acting more like God. This means that I'm growing in Godly character.

He hears every cry and every prayer that comes from His people. In this sermon, Pastor Lucas unpacks the truth of 1 John 5:14: “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.”


What does it mean that God hears us? And how should we respond when it feels like our prayers go unanswered?


Pastor Lucas explores the tension many of us face—the joy of powerful answered prayer alongside the silence we sometimes experience. He reminds us that the promise that God hears us is not just for comfort but for transformation. As we surrender to His will, we begin to see that His will is all we need.
