Crown Church

Such Powerful of Worship and Communion this morning! I believe we touched heaven for one another today.

Bearing one another’s burdens and discerning the Body of Christ as we should. God is moving in our tribe!

What a great day worshiping with our Tribe! Crownies are the best!

Today we learned about the Power of a Seed: The Positional Seed.

Christ was that Seed planted in the womb of a virgin girl. Born, Into an earthy shell, that shell was broken and ruptured at the cross. He was planted in the ground and three days later He was above ground.

Then in the upper room Like a dandelion being blown by the wind the seed that became a harvest became a seen again. When the wind blew like a mighty rushing wind the seed multipled into the 120 in the upper room, then 3000, now millions!

We are made joint heirs with him. He has reclaimed, renewed, regenerated and repositioned us to sit with him and IN him in heavenly places. Places of authority and power to receive every promise In His Word.

So now when we sow, whether it is financial seed, Prayer seeds, seed of kindness, or more, we sow from a different position. One that’s in HIM.

WHEN YOU SOW IN OBEDIENCE TO HIM
YOU ALSO ARE SOWING THROUGH HIM!!!!!

Can’t wait until next week as we discuss The Power of a Seed: The Proxy Seed

Join us tonight!

Sunday we start a Brand New series about "The Power of a Seed", and You don't want to miss it. Make plans to be at Church this Sunday and Invite someone to come and Worship with you!

God works in a powerful way through the revelation of Seedtime and Harvest. In this series we will dive into Sowing and Reaping, Watering your Seed, and Celebrating your Harvest!

What an Awesome morning of Worship at Crown! Pastor Rick was going to close out the Hunger Game Series today with the topic of “Being full of the HolySpirit”.

Well God decided to just give us an Illustrated message by filling the house with His Spirit and Ministering to the whole tribe in Worship and filling the Altars with worshippers.

If you missed a service or just want to hear the sermon again, you can check out the sermon audio for "The Hunger Game" parts 1-3 in the Crown Church App.

The Hunger Game: Fresh Fire or Yesterday’s Ashes.

Isaiah 44:19-20

Isaiah paints a picture of a man who has carefully built a fire and prepared himself a delicious meal.

He has taken the time to:
Collect the wood, Carefully arrange the logs, Light a fire, Mix the dough and bake some bread.

To Kill an animal, skin it, dress it and prepare it on the fire.

And then he sat down and enjoyed this sumptuous meal.

His sacrifice of time, and his careful effort have yielded him a feast that:
Sustains him , Satisfies the hunger,
Provides strength for the day, Brings a contentment and health to his physical being And, as the day progresses, he is given the strength to performhis appointed duties by the fresh meal he has partaken of – a meal prepared with fresh fire that came from fresh sacrifice and effort!

But now, the day is over, the night is past and he arises and once again returns to the place where he so painstakingly prepared yesterday’s meal.
By now, however, the only thing left from that meal is the pile of
ashes, or residue.

However, today:

Maybe he is too busy to spend the time on preparing a meal like yesterday’s.
Maybe his list of “To-do’s” has grown to the point that he doesn’t have the time to go to all the effort Maybe he is preoccupied with the business of the day and can’t force himself to slow down. Maybe he is just lazy, or tired, or weary, But, whatever the cause, on this particular morning, he does not:

Mix the ingredients and knead the
dough to make fresh bread, or Hunt the
animal, prepare and dress it to have
fresh meat. He does not Put forth the effort required to prepare a fresh, sustaining, life-
giving meal as he did yesterday.

TODAY HE IS JUST FEEDING ON THE ASHES FROM YESTERDAY’S
FIRE!

TODAY HE IS JUST TRYING TO DRAW STRENGTH FROM YESTERDAY’S EXPERIENCE!

How many times do we find ourselves doing the same thing Instead of pursuing a fresh fire and and new experience every day.

We must live off of fresh bread made over a fresh fire, instead of Feeding on Ashes of yesterday’s experience.

The Hunger Game: Reigniting a Spirit of Prayer.

Prayer is a Sin Killer, Prayer is a Power Bringer, Prayer is plugging into the Source of power flowing from God our creator.

We are entering the presence not of some wizard of oz type figure on a mystic throne. We are entering the Presence of our FATHER!

Granted that right and privilege by the work of the Cross, accessing all the benefits that it provides.

Galatians 4:4-6
4 But when the proper time had fully
come, God sent His Son, born of a
woman, born subject to [the regulations
of] the Law,

5 To purchase the freedom of (to ransom, to redeem, to [a]atone for) those who were subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us [and be recognized
as God’s sons].

6 And because you [really] are [His] sons, God has sent the [[b]Holy] Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba (Father)! Father!

When Adam and Eve fell in the garden they lost more than Paradise. The Lost Connection. They became separated from God. Disconnected for the Divine.

God desires a people who will rekindle that hunger for connection with HIM. Because from creation the plan was for earths greatest relationship to be with heaven. Man’s great connection was to be with HIM.

His plan was to usher all the goodness of Heaven into the earth through that connection.

He still desires that today! Will you reconnect with the divine and allow him to work through you?

Awesome Day with All our Crownies This Past Sunday. Looking forward to Legacy Night this Wednesday. We hope to see you there.

Mission Possible: His Mission, Your World.

Mark 2: 1-12

God is Looking for Helpers, to reach the Helpless, take them through the Hindrance, into the presence of the Healer!

Commit today to be The Light in the Midst of Darkness. BE the change someone needs in their life today.

Made Right: It is Finished!

When Jesus Paid the price it was complete. Every promise is yours! Bought and paid for.

Take the question mark away, God put a period where we put a question mark!

Made Right: Faith is the currency of Heaven. You can have faith for many things, But you can’t have Faith IN but one. We Live by Faith In Jesus alone.

Made Right: To be Like Him you must do what he did, except In reverse!

He was the Word become flesh, crucified at the Place of the Skull. We must be the flesh become Word, by being crucified at the Place of the Skull!

Romans 12:2
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

We must let the Spirit lead, bearing witness with the Word, and the flesh must submit and follow.

Made Right: The Righteousness of God far surpasses the effects of the fall!

The Strength of the one doing the Holding, is far greater than the than the strength of the one being held!

In the story of Mephibosheth, we see a powerful picture of God's unmerited favor and grace. Despite his brokenness and shame, Mephibosheth was restored to a place of honor at the king's table - not because of anything he had done, but because of the covenant between David and Jonathan.

This is a beautiful reminder that our righteousness comes solely through Jesus Christ. We don't have to work for it or earn it; it's a free gift of God's grace. No matter how broken or unworthy we may feel, God looks at us through the lens of His Son and sees us as righteous and whole.

So today, let's celebrate our standing as children of the King! We are victorious, set apart, and blessed beyond measure. Don't let the enemy steal your joy or make you feel like you have to earn God's favor. You are righteous because of Jesus, and that's a reason to shout, dance, and worship with all your heart! 🎉

David Blessed Mephibosheth because of Covenant with Jonathan sealed in blood.

God Does what he does for you, Not because of you! He does it Because of the New Covenant made and paid for and mediated by Jesus, Sealed in His Blood.
