Living in God’s Family: Active Participation


Bible references: Heb. 10:25; Gal. 6:10; Ephesians 2; Romans 12:5; Hebrews 10:24; Eccl. 4:9-12; Proverbs 27:17; Heb.3:13; Gal. 6:12; Matthew 18:20; John 17:21; 1 Peter 4:10; 1 Corithians.

·         As Christians, we are to be actively participating in the family of God

·         Not actively participating in God’s family is disobedience

·         As Christians we belong in God’s family

·         Being in a family means doing things together – fellowship

·         We do good to each other because we love each other

·         Jesus Christ is our Foundation Stone, Corner Stone, and Cap Stone – we, the family of God make up the wall, without all of us the wall will have a hole and crumble.

·         The household of God is held together by Jesus Christ NOT by us

·         A family is  a place to belong and we should be able to express and practice love and reconciliation within the family

·         We are not to be deceived by sin and stubbornness

·         We are to protect the UNITY of the family

·         We all have different ways of serving one another and the Lord

·         We are to actively serve one another,

·         Accept one another

·         Greet one another,

·         Bear one another

·         Honour one another

·         Teach and be devoted to one another

·         God has given all His People a ministry – reconciliation

·         If you can’t reconcile with those in your local family (i.e. the local church you belong to) then you can’t reconcile with believers no matter where you are in the world.

Something to reflect upon….

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."

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
