In this message, Philip Smethurst emphasizes the power of faith and the importance of the five-fold ministry in the church, likening it to a "secret sauce" that brings about miracles and growth. He shares a compelling story about his mission work with the Kuvale and Himba tribes in Angola, where, after years of effort, they witnessed a significant number of conversions and transformations among the people, highlighting the joy and celebration that followed their acceptance of Christ. He stresses that true faith is not based on feelings but on the legal transaction of redemption through Jesus, which grants believers access to God's promises and power. He encourages the congregation to embrace their identity in Christ, asserting that they are already rich and full in Him, and that faith is the key to unlocking these blessings in their lives. Ultimately, he calls for a deeper understanding of the first-century gospel, urging believers to live authentically and powerfully through their faith in Jesus.
