We are called to live in obedience of faith.  We are to maintain what God gives us. 
Before you gave your life to the Lord, you were in slavery – e.g.  to pride, sin, money, lust, things, other people.
In the end what you gain materially here on this earth stays here. 
God calls us to be obedient in faith.  We can’t save ourselves. 
We can’t deliver ourselves from sin.  Only God can. 
The world critizes the Church (just as they critize Israel). 
We are called to obey God and be faithful.
It’s not about what you or I have done.  It’s about being faithful to God . 

God asked the Israelites to keep commandments.
He gave them (Duet. 6) including the 10 commandments.
          1.       Be devoted only to God
          2.       Have no substitute “gods”
          3.       Uphold the honour of God’s Name
          4.       Keep God’s day for Him and for yourself
          5.       Respect your parents
          6.       Respect life as given by God
          7.       Respect your marriage partner
          8.       Respect your neighbour’s property
          9.       Respect your neighbour’s integrity
         10.      Be content with what God has given you

This week Ps Phyllis shared with us on "Where do we find Encouragement and Strength in our lives?"

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
