News Update
9am: Perhaps the greatest challenge we face as Christians is to 'practice what we preach' as the saying goes. We can talk and talk and talk about the Bible and Christian living, but do we live the way we encourage others to do so? In our second Titus section Paul gives us one of his famous criteria lists for Christian leaders. But unlike other job criteria, the criteria for servants of Jesus revolves completely around character - not gifts, not skills - just character and integrity. Because to be a servant of Jesus, as we all are, we need to work on the inside in order to get positive results on the outside. Keep reading Titus every day, and focus on 1:5-16 this week.
5pm: Do you really believe God is with you? Could this be the most basic question of humanity? Might it explain why we are chronic seekers, always looking for something to give us that deep sense of security and significance?
Perhaps this is the basic question God's people have always faced - even in the Garden. It might explain why the ancient people of Israel wanted a King ‘like all the other nations'. God had told them, and shown them, again and again, that he really was with them. Why couldn't they just listen?
But let's not just leave the challenge with them - what about you? Do you really believe God is with you, and does that make some kind of difference on your life? Does it impact your values? Your dreams? The way you love, and live?
We will be looking at 120 chapters of the Old Testament (start reading now!) Start at Joshua 1 and go through to 1 Kings 11 Our focus will be 1 Kings 1-11.
Lord's Supper We will be celebrating Jesus death and resurrection in the Lord's Supper in both the am and pm services tomorrow. Recently, The Elders decided to celebrate the Supper in both services as this will better serve the am and pm congregations. Thos who are followers of Jesus Christ are warmly invited to share this celebration with us.
