The Church on a Mission

At Amazing Grace Fellowship, we began a new series that will focus on 1 John. Here's some notes:

Series>>> The Mission: Love & Light / 1 John Part 1 [“THE CHURCH ON A MISSION” Selected Scriptures]

INTRODUCTION > Historical Data … The Bible is a “HIM” Book!

> In Scripture: The FOCUS of the Lamb (Old & New Testaments)
> In History: The FACT of the Loving Savior (See Mark 10)
> In Society: The FONDNESS of a Caring Christ (See Matthew 8:1)

THE CHURCH HAS A MISSION . . . IT NEEDS RESHIFTING

*HOW? Philippians 2:5
I. A CALL BACK TO THINKING LIKE JESUS

*THE GOAL?
II. ALIGN OUR THOUGHTS TO THINKING LIKE JESUS

Notice: When Jesus’ Attitude becomes our Attitude>>> See What Happens!
Philippians 2:6-8
HUMBLE AND NON-ARROGANT v6-8

Philippians 2:9-11
HONORING AND BEING HONORED v9-11

Basic Application: 1 John 1:1-3… Explains our Mission

This next Sunday will be the ABCs of 1 John -- meeting at the Anderson's in Bristol!

A Prayer for Christmas Eve

O God our Father, you have brought us again to the glad season .....when we celebrate the birth of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Grant that his Spirit may be born anew in our hearts this day .....and that we may joyfully welcome him to reign over us. Open our ears that we may hear again the angelic chorus of old. Open our lips that we, too, may sing with uplifted hearts. Glory to God in the highest, .....and on earth, peace, goodwill toward all; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The United Methodist Book of Worship, no. 276.

MMB Monday Morning Blog 8-26-24 Seasons

There are four season in the year. In Florida, where I currently live, the season are here too but not like in New Hampshire where I'm from. Florida has HEAT. I remember visiting my parents back in the 90s at their winter home in Wachula around Thanksgiving. We already had snow before our drive south. As we hit Virginia and North Carolina it was apparent we were no longer in the frozen tundra. My parent's mobile home had two bedrooms. It wasn't big enough for us and our two sons. They did, however, have a pop-up trailer under the carport, so it was fine. To stay in a pop-up in Northern New England in late November mas near impossible. You would begin to shiver in about 5 minutes. Nights would reach a low of 0°-20°F. But not so in Florida. After a great Thanksgiving feast we went shopping at the local Walmart. They no longer stay open on Thanksgiving. As I walked into the store I was hit with culture shock. The store was in festive colors and lighting for Christmas but one t...

REUNION! A BBQ & Praise Fest Gathering, Too!

An SNC Reunion BBQ and Praise Fest Gathering is being tossed around. We've spoken to a few of the SNC Gang who seem quite excited about this. We'll have a BBQ Pot Luck at a local home and at another time and location enjoy a time of Praise, Worship, Sharing and Fellowshipping together (even with a meal ... just like always). If you have any ideas let me know asap as we get the word out and dates settled. THE MISSION IS STILL BEFORE US In early April 2007, on our yearly anniversary trip to Maine, Kathy and I viewed a new video series on being missionaries to introduce non-Christ followers to Jesus. The 4-Lesson series is based on the book and life of a Chicago pastor who has branched out from the comforts of his church community and has embraced others outside that community to see the staggering results of others giving their lives to Jesus. The title of the series is "Just Walk Across the Room" and is a fantastic home neighborhood connection to aid in our mission. Fu...
