Church notes - 16th July 2023

16th Communion Exodus 12:21 - 23

Sermon Purpose Matthew 22:36 - 50 Matthew 28:19, 20

Worship Discipleship Evangelism Fellowship Demonstrate God's love

To Worship God A reset. It resets our focus to be on Him.

Psalm 116

Psalm 73

vs 2 Bad people appearing to prosper

vs 11 People mocking God and seeming to do well despite their warped worldview.

vs 17 Entering the sanctuary of God. Their focus is off their preoccupations and on God. A new reality.

vs 18 The other people are on slippery ground.

We need to be on a stable ground.

Things can change in an instant.

Worshipping God and seeing His love and mercy in our lives God is worthy of being worshipped.

Selfishness is a barrier to worship.

1. Worship is my response to God's love. He sent His Son to die for us. 2. Worship is giving back to God. 3. Worship expressing affection to God. Hosea 6 Exodus 34: God is passionate about His relationship to us. Romans 6:13 4. Worship is using my activities for God. Colossians 5:35 Romans 12:1

Turn every aspect of your lives over to God.

Ephesians 1:11-14. “Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan. God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God. And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own[b] by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.”

Colossians 1:11b-14. “May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.”

1 Peter 1:3-5. “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.”

“God’s Healing Grace” By In Touch Ministries:

“Because of Christ, our brokenness is being made whole, and we can look forward to a glorious future.”

“In his letter to the Ephesian church, Paul wrote that God brought “all things together in Christ” (Eph. 1:10). This means that because of Jesus, we are being healed in ways we could never have accomplished on our own. His death and resurrection:

• Freed us from sin. We are indwelt by God’s Spirit and have His power to resist temptation and obey. 

• United us with our Savior. We live in Christ and He lives in us. He is with us always, wherever we go. 

• Made us family. God is our heavenly Father, and we are His sons and daughters. Our spiritual family extends all over the world. 

• Transferred us into the kingdom of light. The world is ruled by darkness, but anyone who calls Jesus “Savior” lives in the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:12-13). We are citizens of heaven. 

• Gave us an eternal inheritance. We’ve already inherited the promises of Scripture, but more awaits us in heaven (1 Peter 1:4).

• Initiated sanctification. To sanctify means “to make holy.” With our cooperation, the Spirit transforms us into Jesus’ likeness throughout our years on earth. 

When life wears you down, ponder all the ways God is actively healing you. He won’t give up on your redemption, even if you at times feel like giving up.” Amen! 🙌

"DON'T WAIT UNTIL THANKSGIVING TO THANK HIM!"

Read: 1 Chronicles 16:7-36 “O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever” (1 Chronicles 16:34 AMP) We often think of Gratitude in terms of Gain: Someone gives you a ride to work. A neighbor cooks a meal when you’ve had surgery. Your boss notices your hard work and gives you a raise. The kids clean up the house or your husband cooks dinner. For…

Vigilantly seeking the things that are above

Vigilantly seeking the things that are above

Today we will be looking at the topic of vigilance. When we vigilantly “seek the things that are above,” we are not only looking forward to a heavenly eternity, but we should be finding ways to enact heavenly principles in the here and now, incorporating our new, spiritual kingdom life into the life we are living now. The apostle Paul stated it this way: Colossians 3:1-3 – If then you were…

ENEMY LOVE?

How are Christians to relate to an increasingly hostile and alien culture? Do we respond in kind, fighting for the values we hold dear, or does Christ call us to a better, more productive way?

How are Christians to relate to an increasingly hostile and alien culture? Just as I presented some historical context, let’s broaden our view a bit to gain some important Biblical context.  Up above, we saw through the example of the Old Testament, that despite being God’s chosen people, there were times when Israel disobeyed and in turn suffered calamity and banishment under the just judgment…

Life in Short Bursts

I am in that season of life when stamina is not what it once was. Strength is less than it once was. Muscle tone is a daily battle that, if not fought and won, daily, is lost easily with further diminishment of strength and stamina. So I am learning to live life in short bursts, and I am learning that it is amazing what can be accomplished in those bursts. I don’t know who said it. I can’t…

Resolutions For the OTHER Kind of New Year's Fitness

Let’s face it. The last three years have been hard on everyone. 2021 and 2022 were a pandemic blur, and 2023 has been no picnic, either. Because of all of the stress and strain from the economy, wars, AI, or current events, you (like me) may have done a little comfort eating. I know that a whole bunch of people out there are going to make 2024 New Year’s resolutions to lose weight, get in better…
