God brings to us the Covenant of Peace Luke 10:19 Isaiah 54 We are all in God's team.  We're on tge winning side.  Jesus died for everyone;  not just a few. Luke 10:19; c/ref: Mark 16 Authority: -Not to pick up the authority has given Christians is a sin -God has given you the authority to speak Matthew 18:20 - it's not about you; it's about what God wants Ephesians 1:16 -when you don't see how important you are;  it affects the church. - take 1 brick out of wall might be ok but take 100 bricks out then you have a hole in the wall Ephesians 3:14-20 - powerful prayer for you - each day pray for brothers and sisters across the world to know this prayer - not all Christians have what we have in this country Psalm 23 - see the world from God's perspective - God wants us to live in the overflow.  A glass only becomes full in the overflow.  God tells us we can live in the overflow.

7 Principles to learn The Bible tells us he wants all people to know him.  We needto get God's word view. 1.  Give God's word first place in my life  Joshua 1:8  we should goto God's word first; not FB or people.   We need to confess our sin and repent. 2.  Live your life in manner that pleases God. 3.  Keep unforgiveness and strife completely out of your life. 4.1 Corinthans 13 ( love)  walk in love.  Read and study.  Walk in God's love. 5.  Line your words with God's Words.  To change our life;  change our mind with HS  speaking into your life. 6.  Maintain an attitude of gratitude for all that God has done for you. (Build each other up and speak well of each other ) 7.  Honour God continually by giving back to Him.  (Our life,  not because we owe him but because we love him) Always remember to say "I am the Blessed. " Israel sees itself as the Blessed. God does not want broken down people working for him. Regardless of how big a mess any sit

Galatians 4:21-31 The difference between believers who rested in Christ only, and those who trusted in the law, is explained by the lives of Isaac and Ishmael. These things are an example and the Spirit of God points out something further. Hagar and Sarah are examples of the new and old covenant. The heavenly Jerusalem, the true church from above, represented by Sarah, is in a state of freedom, and is the mother of all believers, who are born of the Holy Spirit.  They were by regeneration and true faith, made a part of the true seed of Abraham, according to the promise made to him.  Hagar is of the earth, always fighting for survival receiving their reward while on earth and never taking it into eternal life. A life of torment – never being good enough. So then, we are not children of the bond-woman, but of the free. We would not have found out this example in the history of Sarah and Hagar, if it had not been shown to us, and this is what was intended by the Holy Spirit

Romans 4:1-16; Gal 3:19; Deuteronomy 32:20 It is vitally important that every Christian study the life of Abraham, because one of Paul’s greatest revelations was that he was the ideal pattern for mankind’s justification with God. Paul came to understand that righteousness, and from that full justification could only come by God’s grace, through faith, apart from any of mankind’s human efforts. For Paul, Abraham was the proof of this. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all…Romans 4:16. Not only was Abraham, the Patriarch of the Jews, declared righteous by God specifically because of his belief apart from keeping a list of commandments (Genesis 15:6), but that declaration of his righteousness and right standing with God came centuries before the Law had been given through Moses. While there were many

Bibles References:  Psalm 66:1-16, 2 Peter 2:9, 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 My Testimony.  There are two parts: 1)  The story of how I began my relationship with Jesus, with God. 2)  Message of what God did (universal) A person's story is persuasive "This is what the Lord did for me!"Example:  John 9:1-34; John 4, Acts 4:20 Paul tells his personal testimony at least six times.  Your testimony is personal it's true, you live it.  God has made YOU unique.  You live your testimony and its a part of you. Jesus told stories.  People loves stories - its a part of who we are.  Stories build relational bridges.  There are many ways to tell your story.  Most importantly is to tell people of our hope we have in Christ.  Part of your testimony includes your life before Christ, then when you met Christ and then life after meeting Jesus. What people get involved in shows what matters most to them. Not everyone will want to hear your testimony.  But some will and they will w

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
