1 Kings 19 How does God speak to you?

by Colin Dexter

God Speaks

God Communicates.

God  wants to hear from us . Be real. Tell it how it is.

Things are not always as they seem. His purposes are accomplished in  His way.

You are not alone.  God loves you & will give you direction.

God wants his presence with us to be personal

To the Manor ‘burn (er…did I just write that!)

by

Evaburn return to the Manor for another evening of spiritually uplifting ‘rawk’.
To entice people out of their warm cosy houses on a chilly October night, we are providing a buffet and free soft drink (if you bring along a flyer).

Please let everyone know and keep your eyes peeled for those flyers.

Horizon 2 Horizon

by Colin Dexter

This the organisation that Phil Hefner is involved in. (Colin)

Welcome to H2H!

Reaching Today’s World

What’s It All About

We are very happy that you have decided to stop by our site to check us out!!!  So just what is The Horizon to Horizon Evangelistic Association – H2H?  First of all… we are people.  People who care about others throughout the world who have not found the wonderful experience awaiting them when they learn to know Jesus Christ as their savior, God, and friend.  We want to help you start a relationship with Jesus Christ without any preconceived notions of religion.  Look around and check out our site and learn more about us… and maybe even a little about yourself.

 

 

Where Does H2H Fit in the Plan?

 The goal of Horizon to Horizon is to proclaim the gospel of the Lord to people of all ages.  Our audience are those people whose image of Jesus Christ comes from a society where Jesus is “what my grandparents did” or whose experience with church is drawn from a vision of Christianity that is more worried about the outside than the inside or a Christianity that is so narrow that only one style of worship or music is allowed – fit in or get out.

Want to Know Christ?

Looking for something in your life to fill the emptiness but don’t know what? 

What’s it all about???  What’s the bottom line???  Simply put… Christian is FUN!!!  Today’s world increasingly believes that becoming a Christian means giving up all that makes life worth living.   This is about as far from the truth as you can get and it’s time for those of us who know the real Jesus to step up and tell them the truth. Those who know the truth have a responsibility to share the truth… that Christianity is finding a life filled with happiness and satisfaction that the world can never match.  It is time for us to show those people in this world who have been beaten up, discounted or looked down upon by religion the REAL Jesus Christ – the Jesus who loves each and every one of us no matter who we are.  That is the true Jesus Christ!!Those of us who are living in this modern, advanced society have at our fingertips things never dreamed of 50 years ago – IPods, cell phones, news and communications instantly from around the world, but even in our world of technology and “stuff” we have never been more unhappy.  People today are empty… hurting… looking for something and unfortunately our society has them looking in all the wrong places.  Newer, bigger, better, or more will not fill the emptiness we feel today.  That emptiness is a hole – A hole created in the Garden of Eden when sin entered the world and ruined our relationship with God.  And that emptiness has been with humankind ever since.  It shows up as fear, loneliness, anger, insecurity….  We try to find a cure in drugs, drinking, friendships that don’t last, relationships; but the only cure is a relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Jesus is the only cure that will never let us down.  This is the message we need to spread to our friends, our family, our classmates, and our coworkers.  This is the message they need to hear – God Loves You.

Connor’s Question

by

Hello there,

Connor was in the car when he posed the question:
Who made God? Over to you then…
A good question from an inquisitive mind of an eight year old, so I tried my best to answer from my heart:
I told him that God started all creation and was everywhere like the air we breathe. We may not be able to see God or hear God but God is like the oxygen in our lungs he is available to us all.
This question was reflected upon at cell, Dad (Ian) was unsure how to answer it and I am aware of the spirit/person debate so over to you my learned friends for your input, how would you answer, so that Connor may be given as full an explanation to his question as possible?
Many thanks,
Kathryn (Mum)

418

by Colin Dexter

Hi everyone, Bex here. Sorry it’s been so long since I blogged last.

I thought I would update/inform you on the 418 progress. 418 is a planned social action weekend which links in with the work Agape is already doing on the Ty-Sign Estate and will hopefully inspire more work to continue beyond the weekend.

The idea is to mobilise over 200 people in Ty-Sign and the surrounding areas, residents and church members alike, working together to improve the appearance and reputation of the area. Projects will involve litter picking, painting, car washing, gardening, cleaning and much much more. We are in the beginning stages of working all the important bits out atm, so watch this space for new information. In the mean time, if you can think of residents who could do with an extra few pairs of hands to complete something in their house or garden, or you need something done yourself, please leave a comment. We are looking for lots of small projects to send teams to complete. The input of the residents is vital to this project being successful.

Please keep 418 in your prayers – God must be kept at the centre of this. We won’t manage it alone!

The next planning meeting is now not the 6th of April, as I first said, but the Sunday following from 7pm. Any input will be gratefully received!!

Thanks! Bec

No shadow of a doubt

The Sparx children contributed to Agape’s Easter Service by performing an Easter shadow play and singing a song for us. Here are some photos from the play. 

Sparx Easter Shadow Play

Their involvement was a resounding success and we’d like to thank them all for their hard work and also the Sparx workers for their efforts and the Sparx parents for their support.

Have a Happy Easter.
