Testimony

On Sunday we spoke about Jesus testimony about Himself in John 8:12-18.



Testimony in any setting is very powerful.


Jesus here is testifying about His status as the Son of God. His testimony highlights three important things:



- Know where you come from


For us that means remembering where we were when Jesus found us


- Know who Jesus is


For us that means remembering that Jesus in the Light of the world and that He leads us from darkness to light


- Know that you are not alone


For us that means that our testimony about Jesus work in our lives in valid because the Spirit testifies with our spirit that Jesus died for our sins and to bring us a fullness of life





Awesome!

Zacchaeus

On Sunday we shared around the story of Zacchaeus, the tax collector - Luke 19:1-10
It's an amazing story of the layers of salvation.

1st layer:
- Something prompted Zacchaeus to search for Jesus
2nd layer:
Jesus invited him down from the tree
3rd layer:
Zacchaeus shows visible signs of his new life

Two questions emerge:


Is Jesus inviting you down from the tree?


Are there visible signs of your new life?

Watchfullness

On Sunday we spoke around Jesus' words to His disciples in Luke 12:35-40.





In this passage Jesus is encouraging His disciples to watchful for His return.




So as His disciples, what does it mean to be watchful?

- Be aware of the thief who comes to take what is valuable - salvation


No thief will want to break into a house that has nothing of value

- Reading, praying, Tithing, reflecting on God's word are ways in which we remain watchful

Bless you as you remain watchful in 2010!
