Let us thank God that He is building His church. We have heard the many prophecies that God will bring people, and currently we see Him adding many to us on a weekly basis. It is a privilege to see so many men and women committing their lives to Christ, and coming into the Kingdom. At the same time, what a responsibility we have to disciple and shepherd the lambs.
As we pray this week, let us ask God for wisdom on how to disciple those that God is adding to HCF. We pray that God will give us tender hearts towards them. As we disciple our new friends, lets pray that we too will grow.
God Bless,
The Eldership team.

Once again we as HCF have had the wonderful opportunity of witnessing more people respond to the gospel, committing their lives to Jesus over this past weekend. As a church, when we commit to lift up the name of Jesus, we can stand with expectant hearts seeing the lost being found. We have all had the wonderful moment when Jesus changed our lives, and now we get to walk in the fullness of what God has for us in life.
In our prayer time this week, let us pray:
1) That more people in all the sites continue to respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
2) That as the word of God is preached, we as the body experience increasingly more transformation into Christ's likeness.
3) On a practical note, let's pray that as people press into the life of HCF, they continue to find community in small groups, where there is care and friendship.
God Bless,

It is with a sense of awe and humility that we see the favour of God over us as we walk in the plans and purposes that He has for us.
God is calling us to stretch out beyond ourselves, and to increase our capacity for work into the various sites across the city. We can only accomplish it by His grace as He adds men and women to us who have a heart to partner in the gospel.
With that in mind, let us ask God to stir our hearts that we might know what the hope to which He has called us is.
John 4:34 says, "Jesus said to them, 'My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to accomlish His work. Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest."
Lord, not my will, but Yours be done.
God Bless.

We had such awareness this morning as we prayed for the church, that Jesus calls us, both as a church corporately, and as individuals, to throw our seed by the stream (Isaiah 32:20).
What does this mean? For us, the implication is that Christ has ordained plans and paths for everyone to walk upon. Rather than walk a path just for the sake of walking, we need to be praying that His Spirit illuminates the path we are to take; work the land that He is giving us to work. Often, at times, great energy is expended on doing many good things. Our cry should be, "Lord, what is the thing You desire for me / us to be doing?" Take your seed and sow it where the stream is, where the Spirit of God is moving.
2 Corinthians 3:17 "...and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."
We are told in no uncertain terms in the very beginning of Isaiah 32 that, if we would do this, we will be blessed; whether this is for your life personally, or for us together as HCF.
We need to look at an ever increasing sphere of influence that Jesus is adding to us. All of us should desire to keep the "main thing the main thing."
Pray with us that we would see His blessing come as we purpose to diligently sow our seed where He is calling us to.
God Bless.
