Becoming The Best Person We Can

On Sunday we shared from the story of the rich young man in Mark 10:17-23:


Most of us, like the rich young man, want to grow and become the best that we can.

For Christians we understand that God, when He knitted us together in mother's wombs (Psalm 139), has dreams for our lives.


Therefore three things are important for us to become the best that we can:


- Desire - we need to have the desire to change (the rich young man did.)
- Motivation - our motivation is to be more like Christ (not our worldly heroes.)
- Follow through - to allow the Holy Spirit to change us

My prayer is that you will open yourself to become the best person you can.

The Bread Of Life

On Sunday we shared from John 6:25-35.


Jesus refers to himself as the 'bread of life.'


Bread is:
- a staple food
- needed everyday
- something we can live on


Jesus is:
- the way to life
- available everyday
- someone we can trust

How cool is that?

Acts of Righteousness

On Sunday we shared from Jesus' teaching His disciples in Matthew 6:1-4 about 'acts of righteousness.'

In the chapter, three are identified:
- Prayer - talking to God
- Fasting - acts that allow us to dedicate ourselves to Him
- Giving - giving of our resources


The common theme to His teaching centres on:
- He expects us to do these 'acts.'
- We are to do them with our hearts not our heads i.e. in the silence of faithfulness
- Our reward will come from the Father

Not sure about you, but my desire is to be faithful!
