This morning we begin a new Sunday series entitled 'THE NAMES OF GOD' ...we aren't kicking off with what might be considered THE BIG NAMES of God that speak of Him as Creator God, All-powerful God, All-knowing God, etc. WE BEGIN WITH THE SIMPLEST NAME FOR GOD, one that everyone knows (due to either good or bad experience, sadly enough), The Name FATHER, ONE THAT JESUS USED ALL THE TIME...in Aramaic (the language that Jesus spoke) Abba, the term of direct address which a child used for his/her own father. Abba meant 'daddy' or 'papa' and it conveyed a sense of deep intimacy, affection, and respect. In the Gospel of John alone the word Father is used 107 times (by Jesus), and through all four Gospels more than double the number found in the remaining books of the New Testament.
Our focus Scripture is the story Jesus told of the lost son (Luke 15:11-32) ... This story (parable) is actually
not so much about the wayward (lost) son or his self-righteous older brother, but it is rather about the unconditional LOVE of a Father who longs for a relationship with both simply because He LOVES BOTH EQUALLY... AND THIS STORY IS WHERE WE DISCOVER THE FATHER-HEART OF GOD!!!

Tomorrow morning sees the end of our current Sunday series entitled ALL FOR JESUS. We will be reflecting on 'Purpose beyond the church family'..1 Peter 3:15b-16 says, "Be ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you, but do it with gentleness and respect." (Today's English Version)...this can be said in another way: IF YOU'VE EXPERIENCED AND RESPONDED TO GOD'S AMAZING GRACE, ALWAYS BE READY TO SHARE YOUR STORY WHENEVER THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF, BECAUSE THE GOOD NEWS OF GOD'S LOVE WILL ALWAYS BE GOOD NEWS TO ANY EAR!!!

Tomorrow morning, as part of our Sunday fellowship and worship gathering, we continue with our ALL FOR JESUS teaching series (week 3 of 4). Our focus will be "Part of a Purpose-driven family of God"

In this Scriptural reflection and teaching PART OF are two key words that instruct our understanding. They teach every Christ-follower who chooses to be part of the Body of Christ (as it should be) that their purpose in being part of the Family of God is not to desire or strive to be the most important part of, but rather (in humility) to be a faithfully committed PART OF (one of many). To this end, the Apostle Paul says to the Christian believers in ancient Rome, "...so it is with Christ's Body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other." (Romans 12:5, NIV). MANY PARTS...ALL BELONG TO EACH OTHER...this surely means each one of us is accountable to the whole ...no sole proprietors (individuals who own and operate a business on their own)..THE POWER AND PURPOSE of the Church of Jesus Christ is found in this TOGETHERNESS, with no place for super heroes in this Body...

Tomorrow morning we continue our Sunday series ALL FOR JESUS ...our focus will be "Purpose-filled lives where less is more" Rick Warren is quoted as saying, 'Knowing your purpose simplifies your lives. It defines what you do and what you don't do.'

Tomorrow morning we launch a new 4-part Sunday series entitled ALL FOR JESUS during which we will look into the Word of God together to go deeper in our understanding of what God's Purposes are for our lives...We start tomorrow (our 10-30 worship/fellowship gathering) by delving into the all important question 'What on earth am I here for?', with our focus Scripture being Colossians 1:16 where we discover that along with the rest of creation, WE WERE CREATED BY GOD AND FOR HIM (for His Purposes)...and these Divine Purposes are the only ones that truly bring meaning to this life...
I need to acknowledge that the inspiration for this teaching series is the book entitled 'The Purpose Driven Life', authored by Rick Warren more than two decades ago and undoubtedly having had a life-transforming effect on millions of lives around the world, and this purely because he derives all his teaching points directly from the Bible, God's LIving Word to us...
