don't forget to pack

A brief reminder is given of the Talks so far in this Series, as well as the encouragement to keep on going.

What does it mean to worship God? Corporately we often sing to show God's worth, but that is only one part of how we can worship God both individually and as a group. Take our own crowns off and give them to God! All of the slides that are mentioned are easy to find on our website, as are the notes for this Talk.

We 'speak' about many things throughout our lives and most people have a favourite subject(s). How do we get Jesus into the various types of dialogues and monologues we have? How did Jesus speak about Himself? We are encouraged not to dilute the topic of God and to be ready to describe the burning in our hearts that we have experienced. From 39:10 Hyungjin Yoon describes his recent few months working and learning with YWAM. He 'spoke' about Jesus in Nuneaton, Egypt and the Philippines.

We are reminded how God is generous in many ways and that God loves us to be generous in return. Being generous as we are already persuaded and inclined to do so shows an excellent level of maturity. Being generous in a non-reluctant and spontaneous manner can be shown in many ways. As we follow God's will we become fully free in our generosity - even in tricky situations. Let's open our eyes fully to God's mercy and grace and pour out our lives. Others will be encouraged as well as ourselves!

Reading the stories in the Bible is so important, but what is the story of the Bible?

Using Matthew 26:36-46, we are reminded that Jesus was a man of prayer - even in the hardest times. Hebrews 5:7 - Jesus prayed with fervency and in submission to His Father. Let us follow His example. Let Jesus' concerns be our concerns.

We are reminded that as a Family it is important to meet together. Four people describe recent encouragements at the end too.

Sin is a reality. It is a core value that we hold that we need to and should repent to God and forgive others. Sin is destructive. We are encouraged to not try to hide our sin, but to go to a trusted friend and talk about it and then change. We should model forgiveness to others in society. Baptism is a symbol that we are now living differently

What godly intentional actions or habits do you have in your life? In this new series we look at why it is a good idea to build them into your life. Putting God first in our our thoughts and actions is very important. We hear about people who did so and are encouraged to do so in our own lives even when this might be difficult. Becoming good disciples together is very helpful.
