Father God, I am your child, adopted into your family and I will never be alone
I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do-- this I keep on doing.
(Romans 7:18,19)
We have a HuPTFoTU Human Propensity to Foul Things Up
Thank you Jesus for loving me, dying for me,
giving me new life and a future.
Jesus died for usJesus deals with our HuPtFoTU by keeping on Loving
?I need to decide
God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son so that whoever believes in Him, should not die, but have eternal life
To believe in Jesus’s way of loving and live accordingly
Sharing Faith
?God loves us & we

accordingly

Creatively sharing Faith in Jesus
What is being a Christian like?
Understand God's Love & Understand the other person
Reading Luke 1125On one occasion an expert in the law
stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
26"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"
27He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbour as yourself.'"
28"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."
29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbour?"

30In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half-dead.
31A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33But a Samaritan, as he travelled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
34He went to him & bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil & wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.
35The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'
36"Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
37The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
Thank God for his written Word to us

Understand God's Love & Understand the other person
Sharing Faith - Story
Befriended by the King above all kings.Surrendered to the Friend above all friends.Invited deep into this mystery.Delighted by the wonders I have seen.
This will be my story & my song:You'll always be my Saviour, Jesus, You will always have my heart.
Astounded that Your gospel beckoned me.Surrounded, but I've never been so free.Determined now to live this life for You.You're so worthy: My greatest gift would be the least You're
due.

Assurance of Forgiveness
Jesus promised that if we confess our sins he will forgive us
Do you desire this gift of forgiveness?
I want to be forgiven.
Jesus warned that those who ask for forgivenessmust also practise forgiveness.
Are you prepared to be generous and forgiving
to those who have hurt you?
I am, but I will need God’s help and yours.

Cup
On the night before he died after supper Jesus took the cup,saying “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me”.
Jesus’ ancestor David said
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”
Understand God's Love & Understand the other person
For on the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took a loaf of bread and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me”.
God is for you
We will Eat together for we are one body
Paul reminds us that as often as we eat this bread
and drink the cup, we proclaim
the Lord’s death until he comes.
So we say together
Christ has Died
Christ is Risen
Christ will come again
