Pastor Paul completes the three week series on the theme of 'reset', by exploring two visions that Ezekel had (chapters 37 and 47) on the valley of dry bones and the river of God flowing from the temple, and how these relate to the 'reset' and 'new life' that God wants to do in Family Church Waterside.

Ps Paul continued the theme of Spiritual Reset. We are fully saved but why do we keep needing spiritual resets? Once we receive salvation, we are in a process of sanctification, where God will reconstruct, renew, reorganise, rebuild, reset, rectify and regenerate us to be more like Jesus. God moulds us like clay on the potter's wheel so that He can fill us with the outworking of the Holy Spirit, like new wine into new wineskins. Listen to hear how Ps Paul unpacks this.

Elisa shared the story of Gideon and reminds us how God changes our name to align us with our identity in Him. God lifts us up and calls us to mighty things.

Dear Father, I accept that I cannot live up to your perfect standard, and I turn away from my sin. Thank you for sending Jesus to pay the price for my sin. I believe that You forgive me and make all things new. I surrender to you and want to take your path for my life. So please fill me with Your Spirit and empower me to live a life that honours You. Thank you for loving me! Amen. This is a cardinal message for Family Church Waterside Congregation.

Ps Geoff shares a powerful message titled "We Value Church Family – Part 3." He reminded us of the importance of standing together as the Church, the Bride of Christ, especially when division arises. As believers, we are called to remain united, always supporting and encouraging one another. Ps Geoff also emphasised the importance of reading the Bible daily, describing God's Word as medicine. As 2 Timothy 3:16–17 says, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." God's Word divides between soul and spirit, revealing truth and leading us on the right path. Finally, we were reminded of our mission as followers of Christ: to make disciples and walk alongside them in discipleship after they are saved. Whether we have been Christians for seven years or seven months, we all share the same purpose—to lead people to Jesus and help them grow in their relationship with Him. As Ephesians 4:11–12 says, "So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up." Each of us has a role in strengthening the body of Christ by serving, encouraging, and discipling others.
