Life
Has Meaning..
"You created my inmost being; you
knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because
I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in
the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days
ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to
be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the
sum of them!"
(Psalm 139:13-17)

A Life Giving Relationship
As
we enter into a relationship with God, God begins to work in
us and our lives are transformed as God shines thru us - showing
the world the fruits of Gods' Spirit
'Love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.'
Gal5:22
This is how God showed
Gods' love among us: God sent Gods' One and Only Son into the world
that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved
God, but that God loves us and sent Gods' Son as an atoning sacrafice
for our sins. 1john 4:9 NIV
For God so loved the world that God gave Gods' One
and Only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but

comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 NIV

glory. Eph 1:13-14 NIV

your life and give you life to the full?

relationship with the Living God we are changed, coming to truly
know God, and Gods' unconditional and unfailing love.

sent.' John 17:3 NIV
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be ignorant about
those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who
have no hope.
We believe that Jesus died and rose again and
so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen
asleep in him.
According to the Lords own word, we tell you that
we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the
Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord will come down from heaven,
with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the
trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left
will be caught up together with them in the air. And so we will
be with the Lord forever. Encourage each other with these words.
1Thes 4:13-18 NIV
For us there is but one God,
the Father,
from whom all things came and for whom we live;
and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom all things came and
through whom we live. 1cor 8:6 NIV
Amen.
In the past God spoke to our forfathers through
the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last
days God has spoken to us by Gods Son, whom God apponted heir of all
things, and through whome God made the universe. Heb 1:1-2 NIV
The Lord brought me forth as the first of Gods
works, before Gods deeds of old; I was appointed from eternity,
from the beginning, before the world began.
When there were no oceans, I was given birth,
when there were no springs abounding with water; before the mountains
were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, before
God made the earth or the its fields or any of the dust of the world.
I was there when God set the heavens in place,
when God marked out the horizon on the face of the deep, when
God established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains
of the deep, when God gave the sea its boundary so the waters would
no overstep his command, and when God marked out the foundations of
the earth.
Then I was the craftsman at Gods side. I was filled
with delight day after day, rejoicing always in Gods presence.
Rejoicing in Gods whole world and delighting in
mankind.
Now then, my sons and daughters, listen to me; blessed are those
who keep my ways. Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not
ignore it.
Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching
daily at my doorway.
For whoever finds me finds life and recieves favor
from the LORD.Proverbs 8:22-35 NIV

exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his

and gave hime the name above every name, that at the name of Jesus
every knee in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
We accept man's tesimony but God's testimony is
greater because it is the testimony of God, which God has given
about his Son.

life, and this life is in the Son. The one who has the Son has life;

have sent me.

you, I know you and they know that you have sent me. I have made
you known to them and will continue to make you known in order that
the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in
them.' John 17:20-26 NIV
