- Please note that Bible Study this week, and next, will be at the New Glasgow Library, 7pm
Something to Think About
- Do you ever wish you could talk with the animals? Your pets?
- You often know what they want by the way they act ;)
- God is omniscient and can talk to the animals
- Maybe the lambs once said to God that they didn't want their children as sacrifices?!
- Maybe that's when God decided to send his own son?!
- Jesus kept Mary in mind until his last breath
- John 19: "behold your son... behold your mother'
- Hmmmm... where were Jesus' brothers at this time?
- Once animals are older, they leave the 'house'... they actually leave, unlike teens and sometimes young adults :D
- There is a bond with a Mother and their offspring!... even if the mother is 94, and she loses her son of 71, deep sorrow is felt.
- A bond that is not easily broken (Isaiah 39)
- The mother does everything for her children and merits honour and respect.
- If you're mother isn't still here... Honour her by your life.
- The first interpersonal commandment is to love and honour your parents.
The Message ~ Jacquie Ross
- Things she learned: If you spray dust bunnies with hairspray and rollerblade over them, they will ignite...You shouldn't throw a softball at a moving ceiling fan... If you hear the toilet flush, it is already too late.
- "I loved you enough" (poem below)
- Mark 2:1-12 (healing of the paralytic)
- 'Ignite Your Life'... Book. 'A saint is someone that light shines through.'
- All of us will leave a legacy.
- It's never too late to leave a good one!
- What would you like to be remembered for?
- Pastor once addressed his congregation that with their support and the help of the Lord, he'll lead them into the 20th century, to which an Elder corrected and said 'it's the 21st century.' The Pastor replied, 'Let's take it one century at a time."
- If we are able to minister to people of this day, we need to be ready to tackle this day of age... The issues, the changes, the demographics
- To be engaged so to communicate the Gospel.
- How can we train ourselves to be aware of opportunities around us?! It's not necessarily going to another program... It's about the sensitivity of the heart.
- Do we see our relationships as what they are right now?? Or do we look expectantly?!
- ... All because one believed things didn't have to stay the way they were.
- Like a police who gives fines for parking, God gives 'fines' for inactivity, he does not bless this.
- a stock-boy was positioning cans for a display. It is obvious that he has lost his vision when he stops an elderly lady from 'messing up' his display, wanting to purchase a couple cans.
- We want to be the builder, who builds bridges, who helps Doctors Without Borders, who finds the cure for cancer... to 'go big or go home'
- What does God say?! He says "If you give just a cup of water in my name..."
- A cup given in Christ name is worth more than a headline!
- Carry out the Lord's instruction to you... It's a very personal calling.
** Ladies in church left with a planter flower :)
Happy Mother's day to all you ladies; you are of great influence to those around you, biological mother, or not.
