Am I Moving Too Fast?

11/6/2019

In today’s world we seem to be running faster than ever, trying to do it all and have it all, or at least avoiding being run down from behind. According to TIME magazine, we’re smack in the middle of a “time famine” and no one has any idea of when it will end. Who knows? Time may end first. Meanwhile, life seems set on “fast lane “and we don’t dare slow down.
We dash through life, and our daily routines seem to allow little or no time for God in our busy lives. I think actually that God is never left behind. In fact, He is far ahead of us. The only way we may ever catch up is to learn to slow down, live in the moment, and focus on the “one thing” that is truly necessary. That “one thing” is a quietness of our souls which Henri Nouwen calls “moving to the center, where all other things fall into place.”

FEEDING 5000

FEEDING 5000 (John chapter 6)
(Invite children to join in the counting parts of the rhyme)

1, 2 ... two small fish. (Not much of a dish)
PLUS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... five loaves of bread.
"That's all I have!" The small boy said.
No shops to stop. No place to buy,
Then Jesus prayed, please multiply
Till every mouth had fish and bread.
Amazed that all the crowd was fed.
1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000...
People, sat on a hill
And saw Jesus add up a miracle.

A Story to Share at Christmas

9/7/2019

A young man was teaching in a mission school in East Africa. Before Christmas, he had been telling the local children how Christians gave each other presents as an expression of their joy at Christmas time.
On Christmas morning, a boy around ten years old brought the teacher a seashell of great beauty. When asked where he had discovered such a magnificent shell the boy said that he had walked many kilometres to a certain bay, the only spot where such shells could be found.
" I think it was wonderful of you to travel so far to get this lovely gift for me," the teacher exclaimed.
His eyes brightening, the boy replied, "Long walk part of the gift."

Jesus made the long journey to earth to show us how much God loves us.
"God so love the world that he gave His only Son that whosoever believes in him will have eternal life." John 3:16

What makes a person a Christian?

8/23/2019

WHAT MAKES A PERSON A CHRISTIAN?
Not "being good",
Not "going to church"
Not "reading the Bible"?
Sure, any of these people MIGHT be real Christians,
but they're not Christians
BECAUSE of what they do -
they do those things
BECAUSE they're Christians.

Sorry- that's not really right either.
Christians DO believe in God,
but so do lot's of other people.

That depends on what you mean
by "believing".
If you just believe Jesus lived,
then that's not enough
either...

YES! A Christian is someone
who TRUSTS JESUS* -
*that means
BELIEVES Jesus is a real person - God's own son.
ADMITS they haven't lived His way & asks God to forgive them.
TRUSTS that because HE died in their place God will forgive what they've done wrong.
LET'S Him be in charge of their life & does what he says.

Jesus will help you take that step,
if you honestly ask Him (PRAY)
- in fact that is the first step ...

the second step is to start
letting Him help you live His way.
