BSF Grandsharing (7 Nov 17)

GMs attending: Alvin, Chee Yong, Christopher & Mun Fong

Sharing:

God is in control and is sovereign 

John’s gospel focus is LOVE

Walk the walk ... not just the talk

Power of God .... miracles

Love of God

Jesus is the vine

Humility of God ... washing feet of disciples

Serve others

Peter’s denial .... resurrected Jesus asked him to feed my sheep ... love others

Follow me! Was Jesus’ call to follow and obedience 

Pure and unconditional love of God

Personal relationship with Jesus .... leads to eternal life

Life vs Death

Light vs Darkness

Truth vs Lies

Freedom vs Bondage (of sin)

Love vs Wrath .... which path and gate are you taking

Why share the gospel?

Origin + Meaning + Morality + Hope

Jesus is the river of life .... whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst

Who is Jesus Christ? 

Lay down life for Jesus ... Peter’s arrogance ....

Life is use by God to teach me

Failure is God’s teaching process ... turns me to His word .... speaks to me directly

Learn contentment not comparison 

Don’t dwell on pass sins .... dead and buried ... move on and leave it behind

Learn from past, to live for the present and look forward to the future

Trust in God

How God sees us through issues and challenges

Love of God and Jesus ... how he can die for us

Humility and servanthood

Love the Lord .... means to act .... feed His sheep

Abide in Jesus and He abides in me

Gives me peace

Keep life simple .... for me to be on the side of God .... no matter what season of life .... whatever circumstances I face

Power of Jesus ... His love to touch life of others

Jesus is my Shepherd .... never leaves you alone

Fish on the right side of the boat ... listen to His calling and direction

Love Jesus by action .... not just head knowledge

—�—�—�—�

John’s gospel documents turning points .... each pointing to who is Jesus

John 20:21 .... He is the Messiah .... all who believe in Him .... has life to the full

Requires a response to this message

Focus is on Jesus .... are you focused instead in the world?

Are you falling behind and overwhelmed by the rat race?

Principle: God’s people are to focus on Jesus and Faithfully follow Him

Develop and maintain a relationship with Jesus to live life to the full ....

Remain in the vine .... bear much fruit

Receive Joy .... joy is complete .... God’s wish and concern is for us to have joy

Friends of Jesus and God ..... 

See our prayers answered ... asked in His name ... what we want is what he wants too ... so focus on Him

Living without Christ is difficult.... see instead beauty of life when He is present in your life

Learn to listen to and listen for God
