You guys made the best clay models we’ve seen this year ;-) Hopefully Kevin should get me pictures soon.

In the mean time, here’s a quick clip of Jesus washing the desciples feet. Its from “The Gospel Of John”, and the acting is actually good for Jesus a film. Jesus is played by the scottish guy of Lost. Which reminds me I’ve still got to catch up with season 4 of Lost. Anyway, you can see how strange it must have seemed, but also to me it showed Jesus as more human and real, and that it was a teaching exercise in which he lead by example.

Love is always patient and kind.
It is never jealous.
Love is never boastful or conceted.
It is never rude or selfish.
It does not take pleasure in other peoples sins,
but delights in the truth.
It is always ready to excuse,
to trust,
to hope,
and to eudure whatever comes.

“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no-one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.” John 15:12-14

Still not too late to finish yours and give it to your person!

Was great to hear from Dan Tupps youth pastor at HKMBC, on how God has given us all gifts and talents, and how we live the best life when we use our gifts to help others.

And really can use anything to serve God or others. Dave The Horn Guy quit is his job to do this full time after he felt God tell him too. His amazing story lead to him appearing on America’s Got Talent:

But also remember, the very simple things that we can all do to show love for each other are just as amazing:

‘When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:38-40

Luke 10:25-37 is a pretty hard story to follow, but caring no matter what really does make the world a better place. With all the wars, hatred in families, in schools, selfishness in people, things are only going to get better if people start acting first. You really can change the world. Love Wins.

hahahaha, that icebreaker was funny, hopefully Lyds should have pics soon. here’s the ninja video:

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Romans 12:4-5

Ok, the key verses for the upcoming series are:

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. Romans 15:5-7

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Romans 12:4-5

We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. Romans 12:5-8

My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. John 17:20-23

Thats all - James
