Embracing “Life in all its fullness”
In this month’s brief "sound-bite", Matt Summerfield encourages us to embrace a 'whole life' good news message – life in all its fullness as opposed to life in all its busyness.
If you would like to respond to Matt's message you can do so by emailing him: Email Matt Summerfield
Opening question – How did you become Christian?
Play the DVD and then discuss one or all of the questions below.
- What comes to mind when you think of the words…
- ‘wholeness’
- ‘completeness’
- ‘harmony’
- ‘well-being’
- John 10:10 - What do you think Matt meant by “Not just pie in the sky when you die but also cake on a plate while you wait?”
- Do you agree or disagree with Matt’s comment… “So when we bring the Gospel to young people, our concern is not just where they will spend eternity – our concern is that they receive the healing and wholeness that only God can bring.
- Healing in their emotions
- Wholeness in their thinking
- Healing in their relationships
- Wholeness in their choices
- That they would embrace the life that God created them to live – live in all its fullness. Now!”
- What do you think Jesus meant in John 14:27 when he said…
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” - Are you embracing life in all its busyness or life in all its fullness? How do make sure we’re demonstrating life in all its fullness?
Are you aware that we have a team of great communicators who love to get out and about speaking in churches?
If you’d be interested in having a guest speaker come to speak in your church in 2010, or beyond, then don’t hesitate to get in contact with Virginia Boakes on vboakes@urbansaints.org. All we ask is that we have the opportunity to share for three minutes about the work of Urban Saints, encouraging people to connect with us through volunteering, praying and supporting.
