Don't waste your life


Starting Thursday 1st March we will be going through John Pipers book "Don't waste your life".

"Millions of people are wasting their lives pursuing dreams of happiness that don't rise above a good marriage, nice kids, a successful career, a nice car, fun vacations, nice friends, a fun retirement, a painless death, and (hopefully) no hell.
John Piper calls this a tragedy in the making. He argues that we were created for joy. We were designed to have one passion. In this book he describes his own journey toward this great, single passion. And He pleads that at all costs we pursue our joy in the crucified Christ, who is the glory of God. The cost is great. But the joy is worth any cost."

Indescribable


On Thursday 18th January Men's Fellowship is going to pull the curtians, turn out the lights, get the projector fired up, volume cranked full and with popcorn and dorito's watch the DVD of "Indescribable" a message by Louie Giglio!

This is a Christ exalting message;


The heavens are telling the glory of God, and their expanse declares the work of His hands.

Night after night they remind us of just how small we are, and how huge God is.

Looking out into the far reaches of the universe, we find a seemingly infinite expanse of mystery and wonder, intricately fashioned by a God of unfathomable size and power.

Just a glimpse of one of the billions of visible galaxies He has formed resizes us, shrinking us, and the world we call home, to seeming insignificance in an instant.

But as tiny as we may seem, the God who knows every star by name also knows yours, and mine. And in the most stunning rescue imaginable, God sent His Son to this spinning planet we call home--the Creator reconnecting us to Himself with life that never ends.


Indescribable takes us on an image-rich journey through the cosmos, allowing us to peer into God's universe to discover the amazing magnitude of His greatness and grace.
Come and invite your friends along on a Christ centered journey through the cosmos that began with Christ, reflects Him to us even today and ultimately ends with Christ!
It's going to be an amazing night before God!
