The Lord is our Banner!!

Hey people, I was just reflecting on what RJ asked us to do during worship about a few weeks to a month back - He asked us to share about one thing that we have to give thanks to God for. I think that it is a very good discipline, and it teaches us to be thankful in all circumstances. Lets do it every week!

Also, I am thinking of getting the cell to pray for our family, relatives and friends who have not come to the Lord. That way we can really cover them in prayer, as time is getting short. Thinking of doing it every saturday during cell. Also, we can look out for opportunities to reach out to them (for eg: evangelistic outreaches, Alpha Course etc) and inform each other. What do you think?

CHeers,

Hi pple, sorry that I took so long with this:

HOW TO FIND TRUE CONTENTMENT

Exodus 20:17

The Curse of Covetousness

WHat is covetousness?

In simple English, covet=insatiable craving to acquire things; usually in the areas of:

- Poisition
- Posessions
- Property

5 Curses of Covetousness:

1. Slavery - Genesis 13

2. Evil Temptation - Matt 4:8; 1 Kings 21:5

3. Death

4. Worries - Ecclesiastes 5:12

5. Conflict - James 4:1

CURE FOR CONTENTMENT:

1. RESIST comparing to others - 2 Corinthians 10:12

2. REJOICE in what you have - Ecclesiastes 5:18

3. RELEASE what I have to help others - 1 Timothy 6:17

4. REFOCUS on what's going to last - 2 Corinthians 4:18

Questions to think about:

- What fills our mind in our spare moments is often what we really worship. What is on your mind?
- Which do we look forward to most? A time of worship or fellowship, or a good day's shopping?
- How do we share the good news of Jesus to someone whose life revolves around possessions?

Application:

- Think of something you have always wanted badly, get it and give it away to someone.
- Make a financial contribution to an organisation or person.

What do you all think? Lets open this up to discussion.

Cheers,
Jonathan

I have 2 ears and 1 mouth

I was reminded today that God gave me 2 ears and 1 mouth. I need to listen to God more, and talk less. No listen, no talk!
