Power Hour - In These Days

A serious pandemic...panic....uncertainty....lockdown.....restrictions...unprecedented government action....workers salaries to be protected.
We may ask,  Does God know or care?  Why here?  Why now? Why this way?  Why me?
The Truth is God does care? Do we?  Do we understand?
John 3:16 states "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Christ Jesus is the reason for the Faith that we have in Salvation. Its through Christ that we can come to God.  John 14:6. 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Through our Faith in God, the very things which concern others including the current pandemic are brought into context and we end up having peace when others loose theirs. 
We might think that God does not know or care.
Matthew 10: 29-31 "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[a] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."
We might think that God is distant or weak. Psalm 29 tells us to honour God for he is able to split the mighty cedars with his voice. 
So God is both present, cares and knows what is going on.  All we have to do is admit our weakness and humanity and God's strength and ask Him.  He is greater than the sum of all of the whole universe. He is certainly able to deal with this coronavirus.
 
 

A Thought From South Africa - Luke 19:10

Morning Devotion   “for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬  Our God is the God who follows. Have you sensed Him following You?  He is the one who came to seek and save the lost.  Have you sensed Him seeking You?  Have You felt His presence Through a word well spoken or a touch well timed, have You sensed Him?...  God gives us Himself. still He follows.  Never forcing us.  Never leaving us.  Patiently persistent.  Faithfully present. He uses all His power to convince us that He is who He is and He can be trusted to lead us home.  How secure are You in the truth that God will never leave You alone? Yes He came just for You   Have a Great Day in His Presence 

Your Gospel in Icelandic

This is Your Gospel in Icelandic
Jóhannesarguðspjall 3:16 Icelandic Bible (ICELAND)
16 Því svo elskaði Guð heiminn, að hann gaf son sinn eingetinn, til þess að hver sem á hann trúir glatist ekki, heldur hafi eilíft líf.
bæn um hjálpræði. Kæri Drottinn, mér þykir leitt hvernig ég hef lifað lífi mínu. Fyrir gjörðir mínar...Orð mín, bæði skrifuð og töluð, hugsanir mínar og viðhorf, svikin loforð og hvernig ég hef svikið fólk.
Vinsamlegast fyrirgefðu mér.
Vinsamlegast hjálpaðu mér að iðrast - að snúa mér frá öllu því ranga í lífi mínu. Vinsamlegast komdu nú inn í líf mitt núna með anda þínum til að vera Drottinn minn og frelsari að eilífu og hjálpaðu mér að vera sú manneskja sem þú vilt að ég sé. Amen

Christian Youth Camps 2020 Reunion

Recorded at Victoria Gospel Hall on 7 March 2020

Mouse on a Mission Quiz hosted by Kevin Deans

A whacky crazy bible quiz where two teams from the CYC Youth Camps fight it out  as mice for high scoring cheeses and 1000 point peanut butter before making it back to safety? On the way one team encounters a nemesis. 
The quiz is but one example of the activities on offer at the CYC Youth Camps at Faskally House as a way of bringing the bible, The Gospel and Christian values to life.
The quiz was recorded at Victoria Gospel Hall during the Christian Youth Camp 2020 Reunion.
