Live Your Life as If?

Live Life as if?
 
What is our goal in life?
 
What do we believe?
 
Do we believe in a God.
 
Many people say all roads lead to God.
Many do not believe in any God - On a garment - I saw today were the words ‘ Mega Death, So What?’
 
Christians believe that God so Loved The world that he sent his one and only Son
That whosoever believes shall not perish but shall have ever lasting life. John 3:16
 
We believe in Jesus Christ as Son of God to be our Lord and Saviour.  We believe that there is no other way apart from Jesus what Christ did by dying on the Cross at Calvary for all the things we as humans have done wrong our Sin , said wrong,  our wrong attitudes and the things we have failed to do.  We believe that we are sinners saved by Grace.
 
We believe that God’s Love extends to all who believe in their heart and confess with their mouths that God sent Jesus Christ to die on the Cross for all people for all have sinned and fall short of God’s standards.  John 3:16 says that For God so Loved the world that He sent his One and only Son.
 
We Believe that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for all who believe and confess and that He rose again from death and now sits at God’s right hand and is constantly interceding for us.
 
That means that because of His Sacrifice that He made Christ has been deemed worthy of being able to intercede on our behalf,  when God sees those who believe,  He sees his Son’s sacrifice and accepts us as part of His family in His Kingdom.
 
This means that Christ Jesus has paid the price of our sin on our behalf.  There is nothing we can give or do on our own to make us right with God.
 
What does God require of us is that first we Love The Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength and our neighbour as ourselves. Part of Loving God is believing and Trusting in God’s promises.  If we have Love then the Good works we do in Faith proceed from this love.
 
The way of the Christian leads to God on the throne of mercy and Grace.
Other roads lead to God on the seat of judgement.
 
What if we lived today as though it was our last? What would happen to our souls after death? That depends on our choices and actions today.

Do not Hold Back

On a day which promised much with quiet confidence...it turned out differently into a day of frustration, grinding teeth and technology seeming to operate contrary to expectations.  
Prayer led Rob to consider the following words - Do not hold Back.  This ended up with an impromptu live broadcast from the upper hall at Victoria Gospel Hall.  Even that did not go quite according to hope.  Somewhat distorted audio.  
Nevertheless, the words and sentiment are still clear enough.  Not one of Rob's best recording efforts but be challenged, inspired and given hope, passion and fire.

Power Hour - Whosoever Believes

Power Hour is about applying God's Word in Prayer.
Today we apply the words of John 3:16 -  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - King James Version.
We have to believe and understand that God Loves us without limit.

Mark 5: 25-34
25 And a certain woman had a hemorrhage for twelve years, 26 and had suffered much under many physicians. She had spent all that she had, and was not better but rather grew worse. 27 When she had heard of Jesus, she came in the crowd behind Him and touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If I may touch His garments, I shall be healed.” 29 And immediately her hemorrhage dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.
30 At once, Jesus knew within Himself that power had gone out of Him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?”
31 His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing against You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
32 And He looked around to see her who had done it. 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the entire truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
 
As well as praying, we should believe and Never Give up.

Community Element - Project Wingman Interview 31 July 2020

In this edition,  we were joined by Brian for Brian's Good News live.
We also caught up live with Lyndsey Carter  from Project Wingman and Dan Brown from NHS Grampian for a socially distanced video call.  Both Dan and Lyndsey were at Woodend Hospital where Project Wingman made up of flight staff from different airlines had used their skills and training during lockdown to bring cheer to hard pressed NHS staff. 
Over 70 First Class lounges had been set up at hospitals throughout the UK.  Although the Woodend lounge is now closed, pop up lounges have been planned for the ARI over thew coming months.
We wish Project Wingman every success over the future and a great partnership.  
It has to be said that the lounges and certainly the lounge at Woodend Hospital would not have been a success with out the very generous donations of food, drink and tray bakes provided by local businesses and supermarkets.  A big big thank you to them from Project Wingman.
