Welcome to Purpose #2!

"So then, let us rid ourselves of everything that gets in the way and of the sin which holds on to us so tightly..." Heb 12:1b

We
have to simplify our lives. If the devil can’t make you bad, he’ll make you
busy. He'll even keep you SO busy doing good things that you won’t have time
for the best things. Don’t try to do it all. Do what matters most. Simplify.

you were created in the image of God. God created us because he wanted a family. God made all things. All things are made for his glory. Everyone is created by God, but not everyone is a part of Gods family. If you CHOOSE you can become a part of Gods family, thru Jesus Christ. The Family of God is the Church. Your spiritual family will far outlast your human family. You have family responsibilities. You have to learn to love one another, this is called Fellowship.

There
are four levels of fellowship; the shallowest level is
1 fellowship of sharing together. In your small group be prepared with something for all (an experience, an observation, a comment), so that each of you SHARES with the group, not just one person running things. (! that what it SAID! O))
2 fellowship of belonging together (a commitment). You belong in Gods household (church) with every other believer. The person who loves God MUST love other believers also.
3 fellowship of serving together. Join forces, pool resources, partner for a purpose. God never meant for you to serve alone. You will never learn your purpose alone.
4 fellowship of suffering. Love grows deepest when you are sharing your suffering together. It brings us together, unifies people. Share each other’s pain.

Life
is about learning to Love. Learning to love God is WORSHIP. Learning to love
each other is FELLOWSHIP. The four levels of fellowship are: friendship,
membership, partnership and kinship. We are all children of God in the faith of
Jesus.
The
Book
YOU WERE FORMED FOR GODS FAMILY. He identifies himself in family terms: Father, Son, and Spirit. When we place our faith in Christ, God becomes our Father
we become his children, other believers become our brothers and sisters, and the Church becomes our spiritual family. The Bible says "You are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus."

Benefits
of Being in Gods Family
The Bible says "since you are his child, everything he has belongs to you." As children of God we get to share in the family fortune. Your eternal inheritance is priceless, pure, permanent, and protected.

Baptism:
Identifying with Gods Family. Baptism is not an optional ritual. Your baptism declares
your faith, symbolizes your death to your old life, and announces your new life
in Christ. Baptism doesn’t make you a member of Gods family, only faith in
Christ does that. Baptism shows you are part of Gods family. The only biblical
condition is that you believe. Being included in Gods family is the highest
honor and the greatest privilege you will ever receive.
Here’s
a little something extra:
Go to you tube and type in "bball1989", this guy is great! Listen to the one called I hate religion, but I love Jesus. All of his stuff is great. Also give a listen to the Christian musician Chris Tomlin. I found both last night by accident. Enjoy!
