Living the Christian Life - What are you committed to?

Bible References:  Phil 4:4; Prov. 2:3-5; Rev.1:3; Prov. 4:23, Romans 12:1-2; 1 John 4:4; Ezekiel 48:35; John 10:11; Genesis 22:8; 2 Cor. 1:8-10; Ex. 15:26; James 5:11-17; Phil. 3:9; Phil. 2:12-13; Lev. 20:8; Judges 6:24; Ex. 17:15

Every Church will be known by what they are committed to.  Every believer will be known by what they are committed to.  If you don't practice the Christian life as a Christian, you will sit, soak and sour.  That is, if you don't read the Word of God, pray, fellowship (spend time with God's people), worship and then put into action what you have learnt, you will simply sit, soak up negative influences and then go sour (bitterness).

Worship is celebrating God's presence in your life.  Praising God is where we start.  Don't go around trying to show how good you are, how much you have it together, or think you do.  Our victory is only in Christ Jesus, not in ourselves.  The One who lives in you is greater than the one who lives in the world.

Sometimes life goes well and sometimes life does not go so well.  We can be pulled apart in difficult circumstances and situations, if we do not keep our focus on God and His promises to us from His Word.

References to some of the Names of God:

Matthew 28:20 God is present with me.  Jehovah - Shammah
John 10:11 God is my Shepherd.  Jehovah-Rohi
2 Corinthians 1:8-10 God is my provider.  Jehovah - Jireh
James 5:11-17 God is my healer.  Jehovah-Rapha
Phil. 3:9  God is my righteousness. Jehovah-Tsidkenu  We don't get our righteousness from anywhere but Jesus Christ and certainly not from ourselves. 
Phil. 2:12-12 God is my santification Jehovah-M'Kiddish (holy, set a-part)
Judges 6:24 God is my peace.  Jehovah-Shalom it is God who gives us peace regardless of our circumstances
Ex. 17:15 God is my Banner.  Jehovah-NissiGod's banner is Love.

Think on the implications of these names and you will have plently to praise God for!

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
