2007 GLOBAL PROJECT: We're buying a farm for Christmas!



Goal: $2470

What do you get when you give two pigs, two alpacas, two sheep, two cows, and two goats? The satisfaction of providing new hope and lasting impact for up to 10 families in need around the world! These farm animals will bring smiles to the faces of moms and dads who will be able to feed their children and increase their family incomes, thanks to you. The next best thing to seeing a child milk, shear, or care for one of these animals is to share the joy of this gift with someone close to your heart.

Save your pocket change (even the paper kind!)
and bring it to Collegium or the Gathering each week.

SUNDAY COLLEGIUM
Current Topic: TFB Constitution
Next Topic: Playing With Fire, by Walt Russell

We are on a journey as fellow travelers.
Some of us have been journeying a long time and know more.
Others are new to the journey and have fresh eyes and fresh wonder.
Yet we are fellow travelers.
All have a voice.

So,

Live intentionally.
Look for the fingerprints of God.
Wonder.
Think.
Ask questions.

Bring your gathered bits to the Sunday Collegium, 11 AM in the college room.

SERMON NOTES--Worship as who we are
Examples from Jesus’ Life
Pastor Charlie
February 11, 2007

“‘The One who sent Me stays with Me. He doesn’t abandon Me. He sees how much joy I take in pleasing Him.’ When He put it in these terms many people decided to believe”
John 8:29-30, The Message

“Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.”
Ephesians 5:1-2, The Message

  • Worship is sacrificing my wishes for God’s. Matthew 26:39; Mark 8:34; Psalm 51:16-17; Acts 13:22
  • Worship is trusting God’s opinion over man’s. Mark 12:14; John 2:23-25; Galatians 1:10
  • Worship is fulfilling your role in God’s plan. Philippians 2:6-7; Ecclesiastes 5:2
  • Worship is to value knowing God above all. John 17:3; Jeremiah 9:23-24; Philippians 3:8-9
  • Worship is a willingness to risk for God. Mark 8:35; Hebrews 10:38-39
  • Worship is to yield the timing and results to God. John 4:48-53
  • Worship is zeal for God. John 2:16-17; Romans 12:11-13

MOTIVATION TO LIVE A LIFE OF WORSHIP

“And He died for all, that those who live should not live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again.”
2 Corinthians 5:15, NIV

“Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.”
John 15:13, NIV
