'The stuff I am busy with, does it have eternal value? Am I caught up in the right things?!?' - Riaan
'I want to finish well!' - we should all be aiming to!
Riaan challenged each of us - "How is your heart? Are you the same as when you accepted the Lord? Or has the 'normal' life robbed you?"
'I need to up the Rev's of my spiritual life'
Luke 10: 25-28
How do I finish well?
1. Love God completely
2. Love your neighbour as yourself
(Matthew 22:40)
Matthew 6:10 'your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven'
As Christ followers we need to bring God's kingdom to earth as it is in heaven. We prayer for it - It is possible.
If this is true, what do we need to do to fulfill these two commands?
'Full me heart Lord daily!'
Loving your neighbour
1. Personally - Love family, work, play
2. Church - Love the people who visit and worship @ eastside
3. Other people - Loving other communities of faith; People in crisis; Poor and dispossessed
This year we want to:
- Inspire you to give yourself to God in abandonment
- challenge you to become the most spirit filled loving person In town
- Change your mindset by helping you to bless and be blessed
What do we need this year in Eastside?
- Be a spirit filled christian this year, living out your calling in our communities, seriously.
- Commit to a cell and connect seriously.
- We need a ministry of socials to connect people
- We need for everyone to seriously adopt a block (too many broken people)
- We need to go into a third building phase
- Loving those who are not from our community
- Restart a church that is standing empty (Team or church planters for 2013)
- Having a big youth celebration in December for churches across denominations
We need your help for?!?
- Prayer all of this into being
- Give us some of your time to serve these communities
- Give us money and resources so that we can help these communities to help themselves
- Help us to feed children and support early learning centers
- Support our job creation initiatives
- consider giving two years of your life towards church planting
- we need intercessors. Satan does not like it when a church like ours get serious about these things.
Jesus says Love God with abandonment!
The Love God test
1. Take a journey back; are you where you used to be?
2. Have you ever started loving God?
3. Is your life today more radical than last year this time?
4. What is really important in your life?
We need to help ourselves to help others!
