♥ back at church <3
ahh so today was my first day back at church for a while.
i had to go early, because my sister needed to set up n stuff...
it was good saying hi to everyone and seeing those familiar faces which i havent seen in so long.
when i walked into the service, it was a bit awkwarddd... none of the 'o8 yr 12 tbc-ers were there... and i found myself sorta wondering up and down the aisle. passing by people and saying hi here and there...
but the service was about to start, so i sat down next to nathan (who is now in YA not lighthouse because he is now old haha) and then chongy sat next to me (which i might add i havent seen/ talked to him in AGESSS)
andd i remember half way through worship i thought to myself <3>
so todays sermon was on "aligning your priorities"... relevance much? very. hehe.
so just some important notes i picked up (btw i started using that sermon notes book that uncle dennis gave me a while back. new year new book =D)
- i need to ask God what is my assignment for 2oo9
- i need to adjust to my place and assignment that God gives you / places you in
- in times of famine it's possible for a christian to prosper rather than suffer
- having money and being wealthy are two different things - i may not have money in my bank account, but in Christ, i am rich beyong measure
- God is giving not out of his wealth, but according to his wealth (e.g. giving a blank cheque rather than a dollar coin)
- we are able to reverse times of famine by hearing God
- we dont walk in luck, we walk in faith
- do not worry about your life - if we stop worrying, we can let God intervine.
- have confidence in Christ.
- God is always a God of more than enough
- God doesn't sponsor those He does not call --> we must seek God's kingdom
- when i am weak, God is strong...
- when all falls apart... worship God for He will see you through... He will take care of you.
- God = plan A... there is no plan B
- I need to give what is important to me... to God, and into His hands.
Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
