Hymn123:  God Works through His People

Message

·                    When God called Moses to bring His People out of Egypt, Moses seemed to have the idea that he had to do everything himself!

·                    Jethro turned up and explained to Moses that no one can do everything, and that the tasks should be shared amongst capable helpers – Team Members

·                    Paul explained this in the New Testament, using the analogy that we are all one body in Christ 

·                    Each of us should try to identify the gift that God has given us, and also learn to recognise what others can contribute so we can complement each other

·                    Revelation tells us there will be 144,00 who will individually, but yet collectively, present their bodies a living sacrifice to God as they await the return of Jesus Christ to this earth.

Hymn 100:  Living Bread

·                    God provided some powerful food for Elijah to prepare him for a long journey

·                    Like Elijah each of us experiences ups and downs in our life, and in our relationship with God, but He has promised Daily Bread to sustain us

·                    This “special food” comes from the Power of God’s Spirit to do His work in us; but John in Revelation says sometimes it is contrary to our natural nature

·                    Jesus said that He is the Bread of Life – He can forgive sins, but in addition God has Power to remove the evil, which is the cause of sin within us

·                    As Elijah surrendered his life to God so may we offer ourselves in spirit and soul and body to Him, asking Him to feed us with “food convenient for us”.
