Be Still September

About Be Still September

We are looking to share 15 days together in the art of Being Still by praying and fasting before the Lord, as part of Be Still September, from 13 to 27 September

We have a booklet for this season, and it contains some background to biblical fasting, and some ways to go about fasting, and some discussion on being still, and the Help we have in God.

Prayer changes everything, for as our trust is in the Lord strengthens, we can refuse to be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, we let our requests be made known to God (Phil 4:6).

Our Shared Conviction

It is the shared conviction of Elders that we continue to press into what the Lord has called us to be, His gathered followers of Jesus who imbue and exhibit:

“a new anointing, a new flood of revelation, a new conviction”
“an enlargement of ministry and people”, and
“a gathering of many who have been brought into kingdom of the Lord.”

These words were not ours, but from those who shared their hearts and spoke out what they believed the Lord was saying for our Church in the Adelaide Hills.

A burden to pray and fast arose within the Eldership Team in 2024 for the opportunity to witness a supernatural breakthrough in the midst of several areas of pressure.

We believe the Lord hasn’t changed His mind, and so they’re our words today.
We endeavour to only be who the Lord has called Stirling Family Church to be.
Fasting is mentioned some thirty times in the New Testament.
Miracles and the supernatural is a normal part of being clothed in Christ.
The life of Jesus shows us that everything is spiritual.

We continue this practice as His disciples in “Be Still” September.

Join us for Be Still September, as we also prepare for Outward October.

Discipleship Groups

A Discipleship Group is individuals, couples and families meeting together to grow for a specific purpose and a specific objective. Discipleship Groups tend to meet at 2 Avenue Road Stirling. Going and Making disciples is not a once off moment, rather a lifestyle. Discipleship is intentionally equipping believers with the Word of God for ministry through accountable relationships, and through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, in order to replicate faithful followers of Christ.

So what do we mean by a Discipleship Group?

Firstly, the Bible never prescribes a particular model for discipleship. We can observe from scripture that larger groups learned from the teachings and miracles of Jesus, His closest followers benefited from more personal and specific discipleship.

One key aspect of a Discipleship Group is to commit to maturing in Christ Jesus, and pursuing His Great Commission. We might say then that a Discipleship Group is a group of individuals desiring to actively pursuing Christlikeness and being accountable to others for growing spiritually.

A Discipleship Group welcomes and intentionally protects the shared desire for transparency and accountability with one of the marks being committed participation and encouragement for those in the group.
A Discipleship Group reflects a commitment that every believer gives towards sharing responsibility to engage in ‘speaking the truth in love to one another’ (Eph4:15).
Discipleship is the considered practice of being committed to one another’s desire to grow in their relationship with the Lord for His purposes, and in sharing the joy of serving and being with the Lord and His body.
And a Discipleship Group is the shared understanding that discipleship is a lifestyle, not something we turn on and off each time we gather together.
A Discipleship Group is something we choose and commit ourselves to in the same vein of an ‘awl’ type moment expressed in Deuteronomy 15:17 – it is our choice of love and service, our commitment to not leave but to remain, and with our freedom, – we choose to stay.

The Supremacy of the Son of God

15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of[g] your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
