Have we ever considered the secret to miracles? In this powerful message, we explore the story of the Shunammite woman from 2 Kings 4:8-10, who teaches us a profound lesson: making room for God in our lives. This well-to-do woman's decision to create a special space for the prophet Elisha led to an unexpected miracle - the gift of a child. Her story challenges us to examine our own lives and ask: Are we too busy for God? Have we made space for Him to dwell, not just visit? The message unpacks the symbolism of the room's contents - a lamp, table, chair, and bed - representing illumination, nourishment, rest, and dreaming with God. By intentionally creating these spaces in our daily lives, we open ourselves to God's transformative power and miracles. This story reminds us that every miracle, including our spiritual lives, needs reviving. It encourages us to return to our first love, to make time for God, and to persevere in prayer, even when miracles don't happen instantly.

Are we ready for the future God has planned for us? Isaiah 40:3-5 challenges us to prepare the way for the Lord, even in our personal wildernesses. This powerful message reminds us that God has already been to our future and promises it's brighter than our present. But how do we prepare when we're in valleys or facing mountains? The key is to keep our eyes on God's glory, even when our current circumstances seem bleak. We're encouraged to dream big and ask God for guidance, understanding that He can do 'exceedingly abundantly above' what we can imagine. This isn't just about positive thinking; it's about aligning our vision with God's and taking action to prepare for His blessings. Are we limiting God with our small thinking, or are we preparing vessels for His abundance?   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]

As we celebrate Father's Day, we're reminded of the profound impact fathers have on our lives and faith. This message highlights five key points that resonate deeply with our spiritual journey. First, we're called to appreciate the often unsung role of fathers, acknowledging their strength, perseverance, and unique contributions to family life. The scripture 'Well done, good and faithful servant' (Matthew 25:23) takes on new meaning as we apply it to the faithful service of fathers. Second, we're encouraged to let go of regrets, embracing Paul's wisdom in Philippians 3:13-14 to forget what's behind and press forward. This ties into the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery, reminding us that God's grace overcomes our past mistakes. Third, we're urged to honour our own parents, fulfilling the commandment in Ephesians 6:2 and reaping its promised blessings. Fourth, fathers are called to be spiritual leaders, acting as priests in their households and passing down stories of God's faithfulness as commanded in Psalm 78. Finally, we're challenged to invest in our relationships, turning our hearts to our children as prophesied in Malachi 4:5-6. This message invites us to reflect on our roles as parents, children, and followers of Christ, encouraging us to cultivate love, faith, and legacy in our families.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]

The Holy Spirit is not just a concept, but a transformative power in our lives. As we explore Acts 1:8, we're reminded that receiving the Holy Spirit equips us with divine strength, turning ordinary individuals into extraordinary servants of God. This power isn't meant to strip us of our identity, but to enhance and empower us beyond our natural abilities. Just as power-assisted steering revolutionised driving, the Holy Spirit offers 'power-assisted' living, enabling us to navigate life's challenges with divine guidance. We're called to embrace this power, allowing it to fill us completely, leaving no room for anxiety or fear. The Holy Spirit's presence promises a metamorphosis in our lives - from glory to glory - transforming us like caterpillars becoming butterflies. This spiritual empowerment isn't just about personal growth; it's about equipping us to be effective witnesses for Christ in our immediate surroundings and to the ends of the earth.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]

The Holy Spirit is not just a concept, but a vibrant, active presence in our lives as believers. This message unpacks the multifaceted role of the Holy Spirit, revealing Him as our regenerator, transformer, and constant companion. We're reminded that the Spirit is our encourager, counselor, and strength-giver, always cheering us on in our faith journey. The message draws from various scriptures, particularly highlighting Jesus' words in Acts 1:8 about receiving power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. This power manifests in numerous ways - from giving us boldness in the face of fear to helping us understand the Scriptures more deeply. As we reflect on these truths, we're challenged to recognize and lean into the Holy Spirit's work in our lives, allowing Him to shape us more into Christ's image daily. This message invites us to embrace the Holy Spirit's presence, seeing Him not as a distant force, but as an intimate partner in our spiritual growth and daily walk with God.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]
