Nehemiah Chapter 2:1-7

Why is it important to be an overcomer?

Either you set the pace or others will set your pace.

We can love each other but we also have to like each other.  You can’t be married to someone and say you love them and not like them.  Once the romance wears off, and real, everyday life sets in, you make a choice daily to like and love the person you chose to be married to.

Perfect love casts out fear.  Nehemiah had to step out and pick up God’s love.  This didn’t take away the circumstances or difficulties, but God’s love helped Nehemiah overcome the fear he had.

How do we tell who is a born-again Christian?  See the Book of Acts.  Christians have love one for another.

The lifestyle choices we choose determines how we live.  Whom we choose to serve will impact our lives - either fear or faith.

If we sow envy, bitterness, strife, fear we will reap this.  If we sow mercy, patience, peace and love we will reap this.  What we sow, determines what we will reap in our lives.

A lot of our problems come from being double minded.  You can’t sow envy, strife, fear, bitterness and expect to reap mercy, peace, patience and love.

Be single minded and not be rejected.  Double minded people will be rejected because people don’t know where they stand with those who are double minded.

Nehemiah had to be single minded when he came to the King so that he could state his request.  Nehemiah is a doer.  He goes to God first (prayer) and then he goes into action.

How do we become single minded?  Romans 12:1-2

If we want real change in our life, then we start with Romans 12:1-2.  Walk in the Spirit.  If you want change in your life, start with your mind.  Stop developing the ‘old man’ and develop the ‘new man’.

We need to apply God’s forgiveness daily in our lives and stop hammering out issues.  Just choose to forgive.

What is sin?  Sin is failing to reach for the glory each and every person has.

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?

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
