We are on the threshold of 2013 and 2014. How will you remember the year past? More importantly, how does God remember? This recording includes several encouraging words and scriptures from others at Caloundra Citylife. This message will encourage and stir you for 2014.
2. Gen 8:1 But God remembered
Noah and all the beasts and all
the cattle that were with him in
the ark; and God caused a wind
to pass over the earth, and the
water subsided.
3. Gen 19:29 Thus it came
about, when God destroyed the
cities of the [z]valley, that God
remembered Abraham,
4. Gen 30:22 Then God
remembered Rachel, and God
gave heed to her and opened her
womb.
5. Exodus 2:23-24. 23 Now it came about
in the course of those many days that
the king of Egypt died. And the sons of
Israel sighed because of the
bondage, and they cried out; and their
cry for help because of their bondage
rose up to God. 24 So God heard their
groaning; and God remembered His
covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob.
6. …truth is as much encounter as
it is propositions.
To the Jew, the deed was always
more important than the
creed.

14. Reflecting on 2013

•
Be aware of our selective perspective.
God has not finished His story.
Praise God in (not for) all things.
Draw on previous God encounters.
Draw upon the cross and the covenant you
have with Christ.
• Remind the Father of this covenant ‘oneness’.
Editor's Notes
``The Semites of Bible times did not simply think truth-they experienced truth. As we have previously emphasized, truth is as much encounter as it is propositions. This experiential perspective on reality explains, in part, why Judaism never really developed vast systems of thought....To the Jew, the deed was always more important than the creed.'‘ Marvin R.
