Family Church Gosport

As much as we may have a desire for God, many times we don't realise that He desires us much more! And as we spend time in God’s presence just to be with Him we will encounter the abiding presence of God in a deeper way.

We are Honourable - this means giving Honour where God says it is due. True honour is an outflow from a heart that fears God.

Responsive means to be constantly responsive and active, never apathetic and passive, to God and His call. Responding positively to the call and purposes of God using what we've been given for the glory of God is one of the key values of Family Church.

Unselfish love is the key to unwavering support, we are called to be His hands, His feet, and His heart to the world around us and especially to those who do not know Him. 

Serving God is a joyful expression of our heart transformation knowing God’s love for us and now living our lives for Him, knowing we who have freely received are now freely giving back to God, to His Church and to the community around us. 

The Church is God's household and we are members of God's family. Anyone who walks through our doors ought to know they’ve walked into God’s House…It may not be their spiritual home or their style of church, but they should be conscious that we’re God’s family.

We Are Worshippers…Passionate in praise and intimate in worship, hungry for God’s presence. Worship is all that we are, reacting rightly to all that He is.

The infinite God of the Bible, the creator of all things now lives in us by the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit…We can’t earn His presence and we can’t be good enough to gain His presence, but it's by His grace we have been saved, sealed, filled and empowered to live spiritual lives to glorify Him.

If we would get to know Him better, we would discover the riches that He has for us. And where are these riches? They are in His Word. Jesus said, "In the volume of the book it is written of Me".  

The Family Value of Empowering means that we are…Equipping disciples to serve God in all spheres of life.

Growing into all that God has called us to be, continually transformed by His Word and Spirit.

Living Passionately to share the gospel locally, nationally and globally.

A Christ-Centred life is a life that is focused solely upon a commitment to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as Lord and Saviour. A life that’s sole purpose is to honour and glorify Him forever.

Society around us recognises the importance of values and so do we as Family Church, it’s important we know what value we place on Spiritual truth and how that affects our lives…

As we walk in the light, darkness will no longer be able to fill our vision and we'll be able to lead others from the darkness into His marvellous light.

In this message Pastor Andy shows how Grace, Love and Fellowship are vital to our lives.

There's a false teaching going around in Christian circles in the UK today, saying we no longer need to tithe or give my offerings, but I’ll ask the Holy Spirit and I’ll give my money to whom I want. This is not what was being taught in the early church, this was not part of the apostle's doctrine...Our being faithful with what we do have releases the abundance of God's provision in supernatu...

I believe God honours those who tithe not because we’re following the Old Testament Law but because of the principle of returning to God a tenth with a heart of thanksgiving.

So the first thing we need to establish if we’re going to operate in a Kingdom way of handling our finances…Is that God is our provider, regardless of where we work or how much we earn or what we have in the bank. 

Understanding the Reasons for Worship  - Worship is a response from the new creation where we express our adoration and devotion to God, giving Him an exclusive place in our hearts.

Understanding the Reasons for Praise ...........So what is praise and why do we do it? Today we are going to take a look at 3 aspects of Praise... exaltation, proclamation and Spiritual warfare. In a sentence…We Praise Him because He is…The Most High God…

Don’t allow the god of this age to rob you from praising God. Don’t allow the subtlety of his deception to distract you from pressing into God. In the words of Matt Redman, “We’re coming back to the heart of worship and it’s all about you Jesus, it's all about you”.

We were created by God to worship Him alone. Worship focuses our attention God, who He is, His majesty His night and His worth.

In life we all face storms at different times. It’s unavoidable. So how we handle life’s storms really matters. In Mark 4 we see that Jesus and His disciples went through a terrible storm. When we look at Jesus we see a perfect example of how to handle the storms. This message will help you maintain peace in your heart and teach you how to deal with the wind and waves that come when the storms blo...

Our union to Christ means that everything that is true of Jesus is now legally true of us because we are now found in Him. Understanding our new and true identity in Christ Jesus is vitally important to every aspect of our spiritual growth and maturity.
