James Ponak from Chilliwack came to bless us again by leading the worship time. Thanks James! Samuel gave a testimony on his experiences since he has been at Launch with City Life Church and then his first year at college in Langley (Trinity Western University). Ferdi brought the message to challenge us to grow in love, with some grace, mercy, levers and works thrown into the mix!

      | John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Psalms 38:14-15 NIV 14 I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply. 15 I wait for you, O LORD; you will answer, O Lord my God. Romans 5:8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. NLT 1 John 3:1 See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children, and we really are! Hebrews 10:25 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching. NIV Acts 13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. NIV Come work for the Lord! The hours are very long, the pay is not much, but: The retirement benefits ... are out of this world! 1 Corinthians 2:9 "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." Galatians 6:7-10 NLT 7 Don't be misled. Remember that you can't ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow! 8 Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful desires will harvest the consequences of decay and death. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. 9 So don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time. 10 Whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone, especially to our Christian brothers and sisters. To dwell above, with the saints I love, that is blissful glory. But to dwell below, with the saints I know, that is a different story! Matthew 6:20-21 20 Store your treasures in heaven, where they will never become moth-eaten or rusty and where they will be safe from thieves. 21 Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be. NLT Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. NIV 1 John 3:18 Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions. NLT  |
