Dear Friends—
Our theme for today is Slowing Down In A Hurry Up World! I wonder if that sounds relevant. According to dictionary definitions for hurry, they use phrases like “excessive haste”, “ a recurrent agitation of sound”’ “ a state of urgency”. Hurry is associated with words such as “hurl”’, “hurry-scurry”’, “hurly-burly”’ meaning uproar or tumult. The words hurry and hurricane are very close. You can almost feel it! Dallas Willard writes that hurry is “a state of frantic effort one falls into in response to inadequacy, fear and guilt”. That is worth thinking about.

Dear Friends
While we sit in the Sanctuary today, a number of the men of our community are in Polokwane attending the Mighty Men Conference. Even though, as you read this, they are ending their weekend, pray that God will “work in them the good purpose of God’s perfect will”. There is no moment more powerful than God at work in our lives.
The topic for today is: The Power of putting faith into action.

Dear Friends,
Warm greetings!
Christmas can (still) change the world!
The story of the birth of Christ is a story of promise, hope, joy, peace and revolutionary love.
So what happened?
What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a Saviour has now been turned into a season of stress, excessive eating and drinking, family tension and long shopping lists. And when it is all over we are left with presents to return, mounting debt and a haunting sense that maybe we have missed the purpose of it all. Is this what we want?

Dear Friends
A number of years ago, I remember a father speaking about his journey through bereavement upon the accidental death of his teenage son. He shared one of the significant moments in that journey being when he wrestled with the question, "Whose child was my son?" One answer to that question was, "My son was also God's son. In fact before he was my son he was God's son who was only given to me on loan to be loved and cared for before being reunited with his Heavenly Father again."

Dear Friends
On that first "Palm Sunday", Jesus as he so often did, did something totally unexpected. He came riding into the city on a humble donkey. Let's think about that donkey for a moment.
It may only have been a donkey, but for those who had eyes to see, Jesus was claiming to be a king! A very different king of course. A king of peace. A king of love and truth. A king of the heart and soul. A king of resurrection life. A shepherd king. Not a king of war or political power.
It was only a donkey, just an ordinary means of transport in those days, but somebody gave it. I am constantly amazed at how God's people give, of their time, gifts, money and themselves. When God changes our hearts he opens them and we begin to have a new view of our possessions. These things are no longer "ours", they are God's and we need to pass them on to help others in need. To reach out with his love, to build his church and his Kingdom.
A 40 Day Invitation for Lent
Submitted by Trevor Hudson on Wed, 2008-02-06 09:14
This Lent we invite you to begin and end each day with a recitation of Jesus' Great Commandment:
"Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."
The second is this: "Love your neighbour as yourself". There is no greater Commandment greater than these."
Jesus here amends the Shema of Judaism (Deut 6:4-9) by adding Leviticus 19:18 thus revealing that real discipleship is all about learning to love God and others.
Will you commit yourself to repeating these words twice each day, for the duration of Lent. And whenever it comes to mind throughout the day, recite it again.
In your evening recitation of one Great Commandment, give some moments for reflection to confess any sins against the Great Commandment throughout the day.
