Prophetic stuff.
Remnant of cloth. Good, clear design but the colours are clear but a little dark.
Then I see a new batch of cloth that is being unwound and revealing the much more vibrant colours. The blues and greens are vibrant, the reds glow, the whites radiate light. You see the beautiful Indian silk fabrics; it is like that.
My interpretation: we are the remnant. We have a clear pattern, attractive and beautiful but there is a new work of the Spirit that will make the church even more attractive in the years to come with a new vibrancy and life we have known is possible and have prayed for but not yet seen.
Application; Be holy not out of striving or self-righteousness but out of the grace that the Holy Spirit brings to us as we are saved and worship Him.
Introduction
We are setting out our foundations of who we as a church and what we believe because we feel there is a great new work of the Spirit going on and we want to be part of this and follow his promptings to follow him.
Election – not the political one but the spiritual one is what I’m going to try and explain this morning. But first let us read the story of the Roman centurion Cornelius and how his household came to be saved.

Questions.
1. Are you someone who looks at yourself and you continually call yourself, guilty, bad, inadequate or unclean? God says to Peter “call nothing I have called clean, unclean.” You need to stop, repent because God has called you clean and Jesus has made the ultimate sacrifice to pay for you and proved it by his resurrection.
2. Consider this; you would never want God unless he was calling you. It is totally by grace. Remember Sarah’s story? He’s called you even when you were disgustingly covered in your sin.
3. If you believe in all that I’ve said this morning but you’ve not been baptized, it is time to be baptized as an act of obedience.
If you want more of the Holy Spirit or to be filled with the Holy Spirit for the first time, my challenge is, have you believed the gospel? If you want more meditate on what Jesus has done for you by setting you free from judgement and given you eternal life.
