It's Not About You

It's not about You.

Tough statement.  I have witnessed seeing in a Bible Study one person open PDL, read that statement and then shut the book and put it down. 

In giving glory to God's name, the purpose of your life is greater than your personal fulfillment.  If you want to know why you were placed on this planet at this time then it begins with God.

  • puzzled?
  • glory of God
  • What will You live for?

The search for the purpose of life has puzzled people since the fall of mankind.  Why is it a puzzle.  We start from the wrong starting point.  We focus on ourselves in stead of focusing on the life purpose God has for us.

The ultimate goal of the universe is to show the Glory of God.  What is the glory of God?  It is WHO God is.  The essence of His nature; atmosphere of His presence; expression of His good and all of His other qualities.

Living for God's glory in our greatest accomplishment.  God's glory is best seen in Jesus Christ.

What is worship?  It is celebrating God's presence in our lives.  It is enjoying Him, motivated by love, thanksgiving, but not duty.  Worship is a lifestyle of enjoying God in all we do. 

The Church is commanded  to love one another.  We bring glory to God by serving others. (1 Peter 4:10-11).  We bring glory to God by telling others about him.  Introduce then to Jesus.

What will you live for?  You?  God?
This is the choice you need to make.  Will you live to see glory given to God?

Where do we find Encouragement and Strength in our lives?

This week Ps Phyllis shared with us on "Where do we find Encouragement and Strength in our lives?" Ps Phyllis shared with us some of the story of Captain Charles Sturt who discovered the Murray River (ref:page 51 Australia's Christian Heritage) Winston Churchill said: "Never, never, never, never give up." What encourages you? Checklist of an encourager: 1 Thessalonians 5:11-23  Build each other up - point out a good quality in them 1 Thessalonians 5:12  Respect leaders - look for ways to cooperate 1Thessalonians 5:13  Live in peace - search for ways to get along with others.  Don't get offended by their behaviour.  Give it to the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 5:14  Warn the idle - challenge someone to join you in a project or ministry 1 Thessalonians 5:14 Help the weak - support those who are weak by loving and praying for them 1 Thessalonians 5:14  Be patient - plan ahead by praying and listening to the Lord when you know of a situation coming up s

The Voice of Experience

Bible readings from Sunday 16th January Message: Acts 17:26-27 Galations 6:7 Genesis Chapter 1:1 Eccelesiates Chapter 3 Romans 2:14-15 Ecclesiates 2:18 1 Corinthians chapter 13 Matthew 5:1-12 10 Commandments - Exodus chapter 20:1-17 We want the world to be fair, but it isn't.  Our view of what is fair may be different from another's view of what is fair.  People deny the existence of God, but that does not mean God does not exist.  Walk through Israel and surrounding areas to see historical evidence.  Look at creation.  Genesis chapter one verse 1 says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." We don't know from one day to the next what will happen but God is our constant.  We are not here to build "castles" but to proclaim the Message and when we're done we take the Father's hand and go home. The following story shows us the voice of experience - we can learn a lot from a child's perspective... Sandcastles by
