Are You Fit?
In an age of fit bands and fitness clubs we are looking to get fit. But are we a fit? Do we have the right fit? Get fit for Christmas!
The Baby
God makes this incredible promise in the Old Testament:
Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
But we don’t see it come fully true until we see the Baby.
Good News No Matter What
The world is full of half truths and distractions but there is one truth that will carry us always – God wins.
Paul’s Story
We each have a part in the story. Paul’s is one that shapes much of Church history.
New Beginnings
Really good worship is awesome but it can’t be all we do. Really good counseling is healing but it doesn’t solve all our problems. We have to get out and do the work of the Church to be wholly who we are meant to be. It’s not earning God’s love it’s about fulfilling our purpose – its a new beginning!
