Worship Styles

We had quite a busy morning:

• Saying goodbye to Gary & Colleen, and Tina;
  
• Listening to news from Daniel & Jalene from Israel;
  
• Received the sign board for the new property;
  
• Praying for the persecuted Christians in Iraq and over the world, as well as for Israel and Gaza.
  

Ferdi brought a message on "Worship Styles". The recording cuts out during the video clips: The humorous video clip was "Tim Hawkins on Hand Raising". The "Six Blind Men and the Elephant" is an ancient Indian/Asian tale.

Matthew 24:6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

“Stop telling me what to do
 (raising my guilt level); 
rather start showing me how to do it (raising my confidence level)”

To dwell above,
With the saints I love,
Oh, blissful glory!

But to dwell below,
With the saints I know,
That is a different story!

Galatians 6:4 (NLT) Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, 
that He gave His only begotten Son, 
that whoever believes in Him 
shall not perish, but have eternal life. 
17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, 
but that the world might be saved through Him.

2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, 
brothers and sisters, rejoice! 
Strive for full restoration, 
encourage one another, 
be of one mind, live in peace. 
And the God of love and peace will be with you.

Romans 14: 2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 
3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.

1 Corinthians 12:12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 
13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body — whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free — and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 
14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 
16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 
19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 
20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 
23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 
24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 
26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
