The power of the cross....

What a great Sunday! I have not been impacted by a message in quite the same way as I was yesterday. Part of my responsibilities include editing the sound files for our website and so I get the opportunity to hear the messages more than once. It is amazing to consider what Jesus actually did on the cross. We learnt yesterday that Jesus showed us the power to love, to show compassion, to forgive, to serve, to pray, how to overcome and how he also gave us the power to live. It is quite amazing when you break it down in this way and it makes me very grateful for the freedom that we have because of Jesus.

What was also good about yesterday was the fact that we didn't just focus on the cross, but we also celebrated the resurrection, as Jesus died but he also rose again. There was such an excitement at the end of the experience and it is really encouraging to see God working in the lives of so many of our people. There is such a unity and togetherness amongst us and I know that each week I can't wait to get there as God is doing great things in our church right now. 2010 is going to be a great year for Destiny and so watch this space!
