This letter gives us another secret to growth and change to those of us who are feeling a little bit complacent. Maybe we feel a little more bored than blessed when we connect with church … Perhaps we feel a lot more attached to this world than we’d like - (who doesn’t struggle with that?) and looking us straight in the eye Jesus says - “I want you to see your need as you never have before. Then I’d be able to meet your need as I never have before.” John writes this way to the church in Laodicea - “To the angel of the church of Laodicea write, ‘These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds that you’re neither cold nor hot … I wish that you were one or the other … But you don’t realise you’re wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you get from me gold refined in the fire so you can become rich and white clothes to wear so you can cover your shameful nakedness salve to put on your eyes so you can see.” (Revelation 3:14 ff) Not easy words from Jesus but they end with his remarkable promise - “Look! I am standing at the door and I'm constantly knocking. If anyone opens the door I will come in and I’ll fellowship with him; I’ll relate to him, I’ll dine with him and he’ll fellowship with me.” (Revelation 3:20 – Message)

Do you know the difference between features and benefits? A feature is a characteristic that makes something unique and sets it apart from everything else. A benefit is how that feature can help you.
One of the greatest features in the world is called the power of God.
When the apostle Peter described the benefits of that power, he said Jesus “anointed by the Holy Spirit and power” (Acts 10:38) went about doing good and healing people under evil’s influence. That’s what the power of God does. It binds up the broken hearted, saves the lost and it gives hope to the hopeless.
The four benefits we’ll explore this morning are -Salvation for our spirit, Peace for our mind, Healing for our body and soul, and Deliverance from destructive habits in our lives.
Listen now as Pastor Peter unpacks his thoughts.
