Alpha and Omega

Where does it all GO, the time I mean, where, one minute its September and the next it is October! Psalm 103 - As for us, our life is like grass. We grow and flourish like a wild flower; then the wind blowws on it, and it is gone... the Lords love lasts forever.

I met an interesting chap at the weekend who was telling me how he sees the Trinity in everything, he said look at time for example, past present future! Then he said why did Jesus say I am the light, we had an interesting conversation about light, what is it, you can't touch it or really look at it. When you break down the light what happens, it is reduced to...3 colours, think back to your prism experiments at school. God really is in everything!

It has been a great week for outreach, Outside Light on Monday, our Alpha course began on Tuesday, Wednesday into Winston school, Thursday ladies bible study talk, Friday Amplify, Saturday in Wales with Avanti ministries, Sunday praising God! That to me is a pretty perfect week.

Amplify is a youth event (www.amplify-uk.com) and we had mixed things up this time and it went amazingly well. A good crowd there and the talk was simple and very effective. I had a strong sense that God has really done a work in peoples lives that night. I had a couple of conversations with people who were on the edge of making decisions and investigating Christianity, they found Amplify really helpful in doing that.

Saturday I met up with the Avanti team in Wales, Tony Anthony who heads this organisation has agreed to be my mentor. He is sold out for Jesus and his teaching is awesome. It was a great reminder for me to get away from focusing on results in evangelism, Jesus simply instructed us to GO into the world and tell the news, to love people and the greatest love is what Christ did. So much of our church activity has turned into come to church, rather than GO! I am going to be going on a mission overseas with Avanti and cannot wait. In the evening on Saturday Tony gave hs testimony and then delivered the gospel message in such a clear way and a number became Christians. A privilage to watch and be a part of.

We had a Bryn Haworth concert at our church and although I couldn't be there it is a great success and a touching evening.

I really want to challenge any Christian reading this to keep the main thing on the agenda, that is telling people the good news. Get some tracts to give to people, learn the gospel message for yourself so you can share it readily. Commit to being a part of the army of Christ who will risk everything and lose all so that they may gain Christ and see others doing the same.

Christ is all we need, he has all the time in his hands, He is the Alpha and Omega...
