Excellent time in church this morning…Paul Benger brought the concluding part to our Love Affair series with a great message called ‘Indecent Proposal’. (Podcast)
Romans 8:35-37
There is one thing that never changes...God’s love for us.
Matthew 22:37-39 – Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.'
Love your neighbour as yourself...that’s the indecent proposal. Jesus takes this further, Matthew 5:43-44 – You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
Three facts about loving your neighbour…
1) We will love our neighbour when we are confident that God loves us
Despite who we are, what we have done, God still loves us. And he loved us first, 1 John 4:19 - We love because he first loved us
Our love is a reflection of God’s love for mankind. Colossians 3:12 - Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Being chosen by God must be the best category of people to be in (not the rich or famous category!)
God wants to bring you out of your desolate places. Isaiah 62:4 – No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate...for the Lord will take delight in you, and your land will be married.
2) We will love our neighbour when we appreciate the fact that God loves our neighbour
Understand that God is redeeming his world. He is not willing that any should perish…to bring the world back to himself. 2 Corinthians 5:19 - ...that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We too have been given the job of bringing the world back to God.
It is important that we have intimacy with God and involvement with our world. Not one without the other, otherwise we become lopsided!
3) We will love our neighbour when we learn to love ourselves
‘Love your neighbour as yourself’. Many of us carry a low opinion of ourselves. Maybe because of bad experiences in the past, we have felt devalued in some way.
Some of us have carried criticism that has bee very specific and hurtful. It is important that we praise and encourage one another...and be specific in our praise. Give specific words of encouragement into people’s lives.
Be careful who we listen to...receive encouragement in your life. God loves you and thinks you are amazing! Let us keep our focus on who we are in Christ.

Love Affair II
Paul Benger continued our Love Affair series this morning with a great message entitled ‘Love Letter’.
Romans 8:35-37
We need that revelation of God’s love for us. God’s word is his love letter to us...telling us what he thinks about us. We need to read and reread his letter! God loves us, we need to see it and believe it.
Approaches to God’s word...
People deny it – they just don’t believe it…even Christians!
People distort it – twist it to mean something that suits their belief. Take verses out of context and build a whole theology around it.
People dissect it – use it like a science book. Chop it up and delve deeply making it more scientific when faith is needed.
People disregard it – it gathers dust on the shelf. Or they read it but don’t follow its teaching.
The Bible is the Word of God to us. Truths about His word...
1) The Word of God is a “Love Letter” to us
Jeremiah 31:3 - I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself
The Bible tells us of our condition before we come to Christ. That we are rescued from darkness to light, from unforgiveness to forgiveness, from one Kingdom to another. In whatever state we find ourselves His word tells us how much he loves us.
Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
2) The Word of God is “Light”
A lamp to my feet. Psalm 119:105 - Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path
We need God to illuminate our lives...to light our path. Not just show us where to go but ‘how’ to go. Out attitudes and actions...how we interact with others.
3) The Word of God is “Lunch”
Jeremiah 15:16 - When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God Almighty
Christianity is a diet and exercise thing...it’s not just about digesting his word from the table set before us. It’s about putting his word into practice. Having the revelation but also bringing the revelation to others.
Ephesians 4:11-12 - It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
We are all ministers...we don’t just need a bible study - we need a place to work.
4) The Word of God is “Life”
His word is alive and it comes alive in us! It helps us see the way through in times of trouble. ‘We are more than conquerors’.
Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart
John 10:10 - I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
2 Timothy 3:16 - All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness
Romans 8:35-37

The Touch of Heaven
Great time in church this morning. I spoke on the 'Touch of Heaven'.
Jesus is the Light of the world and that light of life is within us and it is our mission to light the world wherever we go.
The Message: Matthew 5:13-16, “Let me tell you why you are here…. Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colours in the world.”
We are praying for that ‘touch of Heaven’, His will to be done. The touch of Heaven in us…in our church...that the light of Heaven can shine through us, our church, and so that in turn we become the reflection of Heaven.
Genesis 28:10-17
Heaven is where God is - ‘surely the Lord is in this place’.
The church...to be the gateway to heaven. A place where when people arrive they get that taste, that glimpse of what heaven is going to be like.
Let us think about what Heaven will be like, helping us cement our desire to see God’s Heavenly will being done in our lives and in our church, and help us bring that ‘touch of heaven’.
Heaven...
It is ‘the place’ to be!
When we walk into heaven I am sure it will take our breath away. I believe that church should have the same impact. There should be a sense that when people come in they’ve stepped out of one place into another.
It is a place that is ‘irresistible’
I imagine heaven to be a place that is irresistible. In Psalms there are many references to wanting to be in the presence of God, it talks of thirsting, longing, desiring, yearning.
Psalm 84:2 - ‘My soul longs, yes, even faints, for the courts of the Lord...One day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere’.
Church needs to be more than just part of our weekly routine, and we need to challenge that thought in our lives. It’s the people of God, joining together in worship and adoration of God, bringing and experiencing a touch of heaven on earth.
Psalm 27:4 ‘One thing I ask Lord, that I will seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord forever’
It is a place of unity
In heaven there is a perfect unity. Trinity - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are in perfect unity.
All of heaven is united in their worship and adoration of God.
Unity is such a crucial feature of a relevant church and something that we must pursue and guard jealously.
John 17:23 May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
It is a place of excellence
I believe that heaven is a place of excellence and precision.
In everything we do we need to strive for excellence, in how we fulfil our roles being fully committed in whatever we do...excellence in our attitudes and speech, full of positivitey, hope and love, excellence in the presentation there should be no excuse for shabbiness or untidiness.
‘Anything will do’ - that attitude should be out of the window.
‘Excellence is never accidental’ - It will take work and effort but it’s worth it. Isaiah 66:1 - "Heaven is my throne, earth is my footstool. What sort of house could you build for me?”
It is a place of life and passion
I think heaven is full of passion. In your presence is fullness of joy - Psalm 16:11
Revelation 8:1 - When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour!
It is a safe place
Revelation 21:3-4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away
But while we’re here on earth there are tears and there are sorrows. But when people come into this place, they need to experience the safety and security of heaven. We need to ensure that this house is a place where people can draw strength and find protection.
God wants to heal the hurting in people’s lives. As a church we are not here to judge people, we’re not here to condemn them, but our job is to cherish them - to lift the lives of people.
It is a place populated by a people with a Heavenly perspective
Philippians 3:20 - But our citizenship is in heaven.
We are strangers in this world...already citizens of another.
But more than just citizens, ambassadors of that country...representatives.
2 Corinthians 5:17-20 – (17) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! (18) All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: (19) that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. (20) We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
Jesus is the Light of the world and that light of life is within us and it is our mission to light the world wherever we go.

Love Affair I
Paul Benger began what promises to be an excellent series called ‘love affair’ this morning in church. This first part was entitled ‘first love’ or ‘fatal attraction’.
Ever been attracted to something or someone you fell for, but it was a ‘fatal attraction’?
Romans 8:35-37
Sometimes we may feel like we are separated from his love. But the Bible is very clear that God loves us. His love is unfailing, unending, consistent and constant. We should never doubt it.
Only when we fully appreciate the love of God for us can we fully love other people and correctly represent his love.
Jesus was secure in the love the Father had for him. Jesus wants us to remain in that love. John 15:9 – As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
Whatever state we find ourselves in God loves us. He wants to change the life of people.
Why do we doubt the love of God? 5 reasons why...
1) Stuff happens in life
This often makes us question the love of god, as we experience failures, upsets, sickness etc. We feel let down as ‘stuff happens’. When the trivial stuff happens as well as the serious, we ask does God really love me?
2) We believe the lies told about us
There is too much disbelief around us, it can cling to us like tar. Jesus wants to wash that away, he believes the very best for us and wants to do so much in our lives. As a church we believe in the best of people and we want to see lives lifted up and God to set people free and to become all that He wants them to be.
3) We have an enemy who wants to keep us from what God wants for us
We have an ‘accuser’ saying that we’re not good enough. We need to make a decision today...to believe what God says about us.
4) We don’t feel it
Live by faith not by our feelings.
5) Sometimes it is because of what we’ve been taught
We may have been taught in the past that ‘God is looking for anyway he can to get out of blessing us’ – the opposite is true. He wants to get you to a place where you can receive blessing.
Reasons why we should never doubt...
He loved us first
Right at creation, he set in motion his plan for bringing us back to him.
1 John 4:19 – We love because he first loved us
God is love
It’s his nature, his character. He isn’t ‘hate’, he isn’t ‘begrudging’ – He is LOVE.
1 John 4:8 – Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love
Jesus
Jesus is the demonstration of his love for us. 1 John 4:10 -This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins
John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
Scripture shouts it!
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love (John 15:9)
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you (John 15:12)
No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God (John 16:27)
Reasons we can be sure of the love of God...
We can know total forgiveness
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us (Psalm 103:12) Not partial – Total
We can overcome fear
God’s perfect love casts out all fear.
1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love
We know that God will use for our good every situation and circumstance
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28)
We live every day under God’s grace and favour
Everyday! Ephesians 2:4-5 – But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved.
We can rebuild God’s image in our lives
Leave today believing what God says about you!
We can overcome the enemy’s accusations in life.

Be Real
Great to be back in church this morning after our summer holiday. Jeannie Benger brought an excellent message on ‘being real’.
The world is looking for reality. Look at all the reality TV shows around at the moment. People also looking to see reality in the church as well. They want to see us being real and normal. Throughout our whole lives and not just something we switch-on on a Sunday. A people of integrity...something different about us.
The most exciting, fun kind of people because of what Christ has done in our lives.
Ephesians 4:22-24 – Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.
New creations with a new abundant life. John 10:10 - I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. Not a ‘plodding along kind of life’ but life to its full capacity.
A life lived out that impacts the area where we live and are reaching out to as a church.
Here are some keys to living a ‘real life’, an abundant life that impacts the world around us.
God wants us to be ‘Whole’
Only God can make our lives whole, make us complete. When we allow him into our lives. John 5:6 – Do you want to be whole?
Are we ready for what comes with wholeness? Where attitudes need to be changed.
One small unresolved issue can hinder us from reaching our full potential. As we become whole we can help others and lift them to their full potential.
God wants us to be ‘Loyal’
He wants us to show loyalty. To be faithful and committed people in every area of our lives. Live life with family. John 15:13 - Greater love has no-one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. Proverbs 17:17 – A friend loves at all times
The strength of a good friend is unconditional love. Where we defend and honour one another. Where we believe in one another. We believe the atmosphere in our church is like that.
God wants us to have a ‘Merry Heart’
We need to have a hearty sense of humour. We can often take life far too seriously. Humour is one of life’s greatest medicines.
Proverbs 17:22 – A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones
A house filled with laughter will be a healthy home, a healthy church. Church should be enjoyed and not endured. Christians should be the happiest people on the earth and probably the funniest!
Psalm 100:2 – Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs
Psalm 144:15 – Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.
