Bible Ref:   John13:35; 2 Peter 3:9; Acts 1:8; Matthew 24:14; Col. 2:19; Psalm 95:1-7 As Christians we are to meet others needs in love. We’re not their judge, maker or creator.   Church is to be a place where we can demonstrate John 13: 25 “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Even Christian is to be a minster.   Every Christian   is called to be in ministry.   Every task is worthwhile.   God uses ordinary people.   God has saved us, restored us, given us abilities.   The kingdom of God never stops growing.   On earth we can a) sin (that’s what all human beings do) and b) tell others about God and the message of salvation.   In heaven we do neither. God gives the resources and authority to His people.   We don’t have to go to Bible College to tell others about God’s message of Hope and the Good News of Salvation.   We are to be a spoken witness taking the Gospel to all men and women across the world.   He call all people of all nations a

If you lost everything, would it destroy your life? We work so hard to get things, to make ministries work, to be accepted, to be saved ?!  But as God's people, as Christians it is Jesus who carries us.  1 Peter 4:2-4 Love is a gift given by God - it's our choice to respond to His love Christians are to be affectionate in  a real way - caring, honest, integrity - and express this in the local church.  We all fall short, we all need to be given a second chance.  We all need help.  Ernest affection will help carry us - love covers a multitude of sins.  We are to love each other regardless and like the early church experienced - people will see it and respond to it. Love: we're not talking about romantic love.  We're talking about the choice to care, show charity (love) as God shows it.  It's not how we feel, we're to respond to others like JC did.  All Chrisitans are to express God's love. Offer hospitality without grumbling Serve each other Have p

John 8:1 – 11(7) – Matthew 9:9 – 13 (13) John 3:16 – 17; Jesus was born to fulfill this scripture – to love a world He created. "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery'. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." -Mt 5:27-28 This proves that anyone who looks at another person lustfully is guilty of adultery – most will relate to that woman in this scripture. And yet - Jesus didn't condemn that woman accused of adultery, but neither did He ignored or condone her sin. He told her to leave her life of sin. The Lord Said “I require mercy not sacrifice” – why do you think the Lord would have said that? ·         When you fall, He will pick you up – not you; "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." -1 John 1:9 – want to know how many times God will do this – “forever”.
