Sundays Vol 4

So, it's Monday, I'm sitting here watching Law and Order, and updating my blog.

Sunday was a good Sunday in general It was the last Sondaze of the term, it was good.
5pm rocked. It was ok, but the message really stood out. Mitch spoke, which is almost always great. This week he spoke on temptation, from Genesis 3. He likened temptation to a fine line that myou can cross to enter sin, or reject and stay away from sin.
Some other points were;
  • We can be like children that forget the whole picture.
  • Temptation is all about us
  • Freedom in the world will enslave us
  • Do not be deceived by temptation
  • Temptation is when we doubt that God wants what's best for us.
715 was also good. We continued in our Holy Spirit series. (see more in coming days) Steve spoke, and he is sick, so it wasn't easy for him. He spoke from John 14 and 16. The key theme was what it means to be an authentic Christian. Verse 14:15 "If you love me, you will keep my commandments" (ESV) He also explained, that they main way that God speaks to us is through the word (bible) and that if some people have "special" messages that contradict what is said in the gospels then they are probably mistaken, or even believing what they want to believe, saying it is from God, so that they can do and believe what they want. The danger may be for us that the voice we are applying to our lives may be our own, telling us what we want.

Quote of the weekend was Mitch at 5pm "God wants us to have sex... Not only have sex but have excellent sex"
