This Weekend
Coming Up<=
/a>
At Church on Sunday we were inspire=
d by
God’s message through Hosea – He loves us despite our
infidelities. But lets not push him as the
Israelites did. Read more below.
On Sunday night there was a great t=
ime
of praise at the Base followed by an encouraging talk from Eric. =
It
was great to see some oldies in attendance, and the youngies would like=
to
invite everyone to enjoy the Base held every second Sunday night.
Bring your friends!
Message:
Relationship with God=
|
In this weeks message Peter Spencer challenged us to examine our
relationship with God, and he shared God's invitation for us to come ba=
ck
to Him.
What is God's will for me? Mi=
cah 6:8
tells us that God's will for us is to do justly, to love mercy, and to =
walk
humbly with God. Our God wants to walk and talk with us through
life. He wants a relationship with us, just like a husband and wi=
fe
share.
We can't see God, but through the m=
essage
of Hosea we can see a picture of God's heart – a loving heart
that longs to see us walking with Him.
Hosea was told to marry Gomer, a prostitute, and to love and care for her=
and
the children that she would bear because of her prostitution. Lik=
ewise,
God is that husband who loves us, and although we may seek other things=
and
attempt to keep Him out of our lives, He is there continually asking us=
to
return and let ourselves be loved by Him, and to love Him in return.

ng

At Southside Pastor Michael sp=
oke
about the Plan
of God and the Comforter - he discussed the two big questions - 'Does
God exist?' and 'Is there life after death?'.<=
/span>
The answer to both these questions is 'yes' - God can prove himself to =
you
by just asking.
We have the choice to be part =
of
God's plan or we can choose our own plan. The advantage of doing =
it
God's way is that God sees all things - He is able to direct and lead u=
s if
we are willing to listen.
John 16:7 =
-
Jesus came and died so he may send back the Comforter - the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit comforts us by giving us the PEACE of God (Phillipians
4:7), Strength in weakness (Romans 8:26)
and HOPE.
God has prepared a home for us (John
14:1-3; Revelations 21:1-7) - Dare to believe.
