just when we thinks about associating beauty with colours, then atlas they remind us of deeper meanings. God speaks to us in varying ways and nature is just one out of the multitudes. I hope this makes some meaning to you when you eventually view it.

Sermon by: Brian Birdow
Ten traits of the new man from Ephesian chapter 4. Tell the truth, don't be sinfully angry, don't give the devil ground in your life, be a hard worker not a taker, be a giver, speak words of edification and grace, don't grieve the Holy Spirit, keep away from bitterness and it's poisonous cousins, be kind and tender, be a good forgiver.

Surveying Chapters 4 & 5, Pastor Mitch takes a look at the symbolism and writing style and explains the significance of several things John writes. All pointing to the fact that Jesus alone is worthy of all our praise.
This sermon explores Jesus' letter to the Church of Sardis in Revelation 3:1-6. Sardis was a city that was riding on the momentum of past greatness. However, it had passed from glory to insignificance. The church of Sardis mirrored its city, believing itself to be vibrant, but having truly passed from life to death. It provides us with an example very close to the 21st century American church... a "perfect model of inoffensive Christianity". Inoffensive in that they had cow-towed to the pagan culture all around them.
This week Casten continues our series on the Book of Ephesians and Casten gives us a great message from Ephesians 5:3-14 on living in Jesus' light and love.
When God came down two thousand years ago, He came not in all His majestic, infinite power and glory, not in His role as the Judge of all the earth, not pompously displaying all of His awesome holiness and purity, but in the form of a finite human being, to demonstrate all of His infinite love, goodness and compassion towards us, in spite of all that we have done. LOVE CAME DOWN! In Jesus Christ, when He came into this world.

What you say is very important to God. He is not casual about spoken words. Your words are your fruit, your produce, and you are known by the fruit you bear. Do your words give life? Or are they poisonous? You choose your own words.
Realizing your personal destiny and call in Christ by Prof Thio - 19/11/11zionyaf
Prof Thio will be speaking on the topic of realizing our personal destiny and call in Christ. As God's elect, we have a calling to fulfill. Paul expressed this as a prayer to the Thessalonians, "With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith." (2 Thessalonians 1:11)
Are you affirmed of your calling in Christ? Have you been seeking to know and obey wherever God calls you to? Is your spiritual walk with Him deadening?
Prof Thio will be speaking on a topic that is particularly relevant in a world where secular humanist philosophies reign dominant. That humanity, instead of God, is the measure of all things - the very motivation of pride that led to the building of the Tower of Babel.
The talk will be centered on 2 Cor 10:5, where Paul declared against such forms of philosophy, "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." Paul further warned in Col 2:8,
"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ."
Discover the blessing God has stored after suffering and struggle.
Everything works for the good of the ones who love Jesus Christ.
Give thanks in everything for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
Fear of Exposure Sermon by Hayley SolichHayley Solich
Hayley Solich explores the concept of fear of exposure, covering the themes of:
- Unrighteous Fear vs Righteous Fear
- Sin vs Forgiveness
- Grace vs Shame
- Walking in the Light vs Walking in Darkness
- Repentance and Confession vs Trying to Hide Your Sin
Dear sisters and brothers,
If you are always trying to please people even if they are erring, you are not a prophet. Speak out God's message even it hurts.
Fr. Cielo
A CHRISTIAN HAS ONE MAIN MISSION: IDENTIFY AND ELIMINATE SIN, THE WORLD WILL TRY TO SIDETRACK YOU WITH “SOCIAL” ISSUES, BUT FOR A CHRISTIN THE ISSUE IS SIN OR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
1. White …
The symbol of unity and Peace;
And they continued,
steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine;
They even fellowship
in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
As a result: fear came upon every soul
As many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
Indeed all they that believed were together,
and had all things common
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith.
Acts 2:42-44; Gal 5:22
2. Blue…
Representing the Sincerity of Love;
The kind
That is patient and kind;
And does not envy.
This love does not vaunts itself and is not puffed up
It does not behave unseemly,
And never seeks her own.
It is not easily provoked, and thinks of no evil;
It does not Rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
It Bears all things,
Believes for all things,
hopes for all things,
and endures all things.
Above all love never fails; it never ends
Even death can not conquer it
For it is stronger than death and cannot be quenched by many waters
1Cor 13:4-8; songs of S 8:6,7

Royalty and kingship
Rev 1:6-7

people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvelous light.

production… He said
Isa 32:15
Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful
field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
Ps 1:3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his
fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper.
5. Does happiness and celebration come
to your when you see the colour pink?
• James 5:13
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any
merry? let him sing psalms.
Prov 17:22
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a
broken spirit drieth the bones.
Job 5:17
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:
therefore despise not thou the chastening of the
Almighty:
6. Red means…
Aggression and…
danger!
Matt 5:22
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and
whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in
danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool,
shall be in danger of hell fire.
Prov 14:12
There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end
thereof are the ways of death.

healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the
stall.
Phil 4:13

It may sometimes mean…anger

give place to the devil. Eph 4:26-27

that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about
thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
Lam 3:26
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of
the LORD.
9. Sometimes black may be viewed as…
Evil, death and mourning…But!
Ps 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for
thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
1 Cor 15:54-57
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put
on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Matt 5:4
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Rom 12:21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom Ps 90:12.
