Authentic Community – Ricky Cupido

Ps Ricky Cupido on
Romans 12
Love must be sincere
The image of Roman theatre and the use of masks.
We must not project but be real and vulnerable..
We must engage in community and be accounatble.
Confidentiality as a foundational principle for trust.
And how to start by being what we week.

What do you see? (Abridged)

This is the shorter version of the message of 28 April at GFC.
What do you see is reflection of the the image of the unfinished bridges in Cape Town as a depiction of the state of the church.
It’s meant to provoke us from our inactivity to completing the mission set out for us.

Sent by God – Tammy Chapman

Tammy Chapman shares her experience on her trip to SA with the Kingdom school of ministry.

Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us… is her personal summary.

Her text for Grace Family Church is John 1: 6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

Matthew 11: 3“Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”

4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”

John 20:21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”

1 Peter 4:8 – Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Romans 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Humble Ourselves – Andrew Cyprianos

Versus from Paslms, Proverbs, the Prophets, the Gospels and Epistles and draws a singular conclusion:

The Lord exhorts the humble and disregards the proud.

 

A song in my Heart

Join Craig on a survey of worship.

Reflect on the Types of Psalms that speak our hearts.

Come to the place where praise lifts you higher than the mountains obstructing your way.

 

Come as you are

Join Michael Stevens as he shares his meditations, reflections and musings around

as Paul, the Apostle puts it; “The things I want to do!”

He asks the questions we often battle with.

He uses examples in scripture to illustrate the love, grace and mercy of God.

Like the sinner who beats his chest in remorse, he compares man’s fallible service to God’s agape love and embraces forgiveness from the Father as the ultimate way to

Come as you are.

My first Christmas Light

Jesus said; “I am the light of the world.”

He comes to us in our dark places,

He brings revelation of truth and frees us from our captive thoughts.

He reassigns us into His purpose by announcing our brief.

Peter was a fisherman called to be a shepherd.

Jesus wants to change your fisherman thinking into shepherding nurture.
