loving one another

I've been thinking about "loving one another" here the past couple of months and wonder why people just don't get it. It says it plain as day in John 15:12 "This is my command; Love one another the way i have loved you".  So why do we have such a hard time following that simple command? Is it because we are stubborn in our ways or maybe its the way we were brought up as children? As im getting older i can see many of the ways that i have failed at this. I dont always reach out to everyone who needs help. But i can clearly see that is not the way Jesus said we are to be. He wants us to love others as he loves us UNCONDITIONALLY. We talk about this alot in youth on wed. nights, about how God wants us to love to the point where it hurts. You may not know what that other person is going though and the way that you show them love could be the very thing that they needed to hear that day.

1 Corinthians 13

3 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.

4 Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
5 Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
6 Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
7 Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.8 Love never dies.

Think about where you are and what kind of place this could be if everyone started loving as Christ does. It would mess this world up!!!
 
Thanks,
Anthony

40 Days-Week 7

You Deserve-Hillsong
Anthem-Casey Darnell
God Of This City-Bluetree (Tomlin Version)
Your Love Never Fails-Jesus Culture
Give Me Faith-Elevation Worship

Great Sunday.  If you were in the second service then you know that we lost power to our front speakers, which created a little bit a curve ball.  To no avail, we kept worshipping and proved that you don't need speakers to worship.  Our God is greater, Our God is stronger, God is higher than any other.  It created a very special moment of worship.  Thnaks for all participating and singing out.

Don't forget November 3rd we are having another night of Worship at 6:30 at the church.  Hope to see all you there.

What a Bunch of Jerks!




Here is one that caught the attention of my co-workers. They shared the sign and wanted to know what I thought. (Oops) I told them the sign was right (with a straight face) . Scoured looks came my way then I asked them the question. Why isn't it true. We are the meanest bunch on Sunday at the local restaurant, the most impatient when being served by the public, seen as judgemental, hating (your most disgusting sin) and so on.

Three years ago I read Unchristian, Gabe Lyons and Dave Kinnaman joined together to study the perceptions of 16-29 year olds thoughts on Christianity. They confirmed the experienced actions of Christians stood in opposition to what they believed Jesus stood for. The PDF found here

New Song #6 and #7

Yours Is The Victory by Newspring

The power of death and sin was overcome when Jesus came out of the grave. That’s the victory that we sing about in this song. We have done this song numerous times and I always love singing this song because of that powerful truth. By God sending His Son for us we also have victory because Christ lives in us. This song has power in the way it was written to proclaim that victory when the chorus breaks down and holds out the beat throughout, proclaiming that the victory is His.

Kingdom Come by Elevation Worship

This one is not very new because we have been singing it for a few months, but it still has great impact for the life of Fellowship Church today. We may be the only Jesus people see and if we are constantly praying that God would rise us up to show the world how He loved we can change the culture around us from Baldwin, GA. I pray that His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. If we all constantly pray that and seek God to be the church that lives out His desire and what He designed the church to be we will see a great move of God on our behalf. Always remember the fight was won on the cross and He overcame the world.

Your Love Love Never Fails-Jesus Culture

If you were there Sunday you know that it was very different, and I have heard a lot of great comments about the acoustic set.  It is always fun to change things up and know that it doesn't matter how we worship the creator.  This week however we will go back to cranking it up, and I can't wait for Sunday as we learn about serving.

See Ya Sunday
