This week we had the delight of hearing Les Sherwen share a message on how intimacy with Jesus brings fruitfulness in our lives! Les is not only the father of our pastor Josiah, but also a father in the Zion house.

Les invites us to sit with these two questions…

Have you met Jesus, encountered and experienced Him?

And what are you going to do Him and why?

In John 15 we can see three keys to focus on.

Bearing fruit, obedience and dying to self

Bearing Fruit comes from abiding in Jesus and relationships in church community

Obedience to the Father means keeping and obeying His word

Dying to self is tough and it is something He calls us to do everyday

We must always remember it is God's gracious work towards us

His fruit in us

The Christian journey is not easy, but if we stay attached to the vine

And allow Jesus to be in our lives, allow Him to grow us

He leads us through from this beautiful place of intimacy with Him

This week at Zion we had the pleasure of Fred and Fernanda Barros visit our Sunday Service, and bless us with a powerful message on the importance of living our lives in God's Joy!

Fred and Fernanda are senior leaders in IRIS ministries and lead the IRIS Global School - River of God, in Rio De Janeiro, where they have trained IRIS Ministers from over 54 countries.

In Isiah 65:18 it says 'celebrate and be glad forever'

When God gives us commands us to do something He empowers us to do it

God wants to empower us to live Joyful lives

The church should be full of happy people, not out of human strength but His divine joy

Full of the Joy of the Lord

May you be blessed and filled with God's empowering Joy through this message

This was a special week for Zion marking the milestone of four years as a church!

Praise God

It is vital as we talk about vision we posture our hearts to seek HIS vision, laying our intention and ambitions down at His feet!

Josiah shares how God named this church and led him on a biblical study of the name Zion.

Names are important to God and we encourage you (if you haven’t already) to seek God on the meaning of your name.

We have a look in scripture at how God marked people by naming them and how this names hold vision and calling.

The vision for this house is that we would be a dwelling place for Jesus, people that minister unto His name!

Like David may we be a people of His presence
