Andrew Hoyes

Sunday 31-01-10 : 6pm : Nexus Church Brisbane : Andrew is from Generation Church, Gold Coast

I was able to get with Nexus church for their uplifting worship in song last Sunday.

Some people indicated need for healing;
Andrew got people close to those people to pray over those people.

Andrew talked about living loud and large for Jesus. (he was dressed rather loud! cheka.. cheka)
Through a few standard type of jokes he brought home the energy needed in a Christian life.
e.g. negative people need to be left in a dark room to develop!!
the lame preacher ; the maniacal cab driver :
the cab driver got a bigger house in heaven because he drove more people to pray.

Some of his words from my memory are:

We've all got our own spiritual assignments.
You'll burn out if you are fulfilling other people's assignments.
I'm an opportunist and an optimist. (kiss and slap in the dark joke)
People who land on their feet aren't lucky they had plans.
Live expansively smallness comes from within you 2Cor6:1and13
The MESS of the past becomes the MESSAGE for now.
Don't use that MESS for an excuse not to follow Jesus.
I was from a broken home; subject to child abuse and dysfunctional.
I went after Jesus; kept in there putting my hand up to be chosen until i was chosen because there was no one else for the church to use; then Jesus worked through me.
Is.54:2-4.
Do not be afraid to fail.
Australia likes the culture of failure they party in it.
Our church should be known for "having a go".
Develop a church culture of no matter what the outcome of having a go;
we will party in that and have another go.
1. live passionate; 2. live consistent; 3. live purposely; 4. live with perspective.
Blind dad and footballing son yarn?
Andrew asked for indication of people who wanted to know Jesus.
Approx 10 people responded.

I hope this report blesses you,
be of good cheer,
Boyd
