What do we mean by Faith?

What does it mean to live by faith?

Why should I believe in God?

I believe God exists . Isn’t that enough?

What does Sin mean?

How does a Holy God view sin?

Do we have a faith that rests on the power of God?

the boy said” when I was in the bookshop I prayed to God. I asked him to give me a study Bible. A year later, I got a set of books and the Tamil study Bible I prayed for was included! I couldn’t believe it.” (Open Doors)

Often we feel we need more faith. But Jesus said  to his disciples a grain of mustard seed is the size of faith that is needed. This is because it is not faith that is the primary issue but what we have faith in. Tiny faith  in a mighty God is as affective as great faith in a Mighty God. What may be different is the journey  ie.   a fearful journey or a journey of confidence. The mighty God remains the same.

Faith has to have an object or person to be effective. Large faith in thin ice will not be effective. Small faith in thick ice is better

Proverbs 16 V 9

In their hearts humans plan their course,     but the Lord establishes their steps.

How do we know if God has called us to a particular action or ministry?

What does it mean to be a disciple?

Some have been Christians for only a short time but Gods desire for relationship with us has been from the beginning.

Called to be in the church for each other.

Working together where we can

Encourage rather than judge

Consider others from a God perspective

To be Human

The world asks questions. Are we human or are we dancers?

The picture suggests dancers in a club all moving with the same rhythm & movement.

Who am I?

Can I break free & “dance”  to a different beat and fulfil the full aspiration of what it is meant to be human?

Who am I?

What is God doing in my life?

What kind of follower am I?

Celebrate our humanity the way God intends

To be truly human. The example of Christ.

Phillipians . 2    God became human & lived among us.
