"WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?" SERIES - Judaism with Lawrence Hirsch |
|
Ever asked the question or had someone ask you the questions "is there any difference between religions and don't they lead to the same end anyway?"
THIS MONTH we have some very special guest speakers coming to explore the topic "what's the difference?" between Christianity and Buddhism, Judaism and Islam. We hope you can join us for a great opportunity to experience church in a whole new way, some fantastic people, music, coffee and best of all a God who is SO GOOD!

IT REALLY HELPS WHEN YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING!
Vision is one of those things that can give you clarity on direction and also sustain you when things go pear shaped. God has a plan for each of us (and the Church) while we are here on this green and blue ball we call earth. HE also has a clear plan and destination for us once our time is up here on earth, it's called heaven if we have Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of our lives.
SADLY, recently my brother in law passed away after a short but intense battle with cancer. He was a genuine Godly man of character and integrity. The funeral (TODAY - TUESDAY) was filled with those kind of words BUT what was really nice was that it was really true! He lived his life with Godly purpose and intent. The sadness is certainly there BUT because God has given us His word, His promise and His faithfulness I can face this sadness with a sense of HOPE. God gives a vision for the eternal future that is available to everyone and as I mentioned above it sustains us when things go pear shaped.
So, hopefully you have that vision and eternal purpose for your life. Compass Church is here to guide and lead you into the kind of relationships that will get you through here on earth but also prepare us for the eternity that awaits us all. Our prayer is that it is an eternity in heaven.
THIS SUNDAY WE CONTINUE VISION MONTH! I hope you can make it to hear more of what we are believing for in 2010.
Have a great week, Dream BIG!!

THIS SUNDAY we begin our VISION MONTH with a bang and I am sooooooo excited about what God has for Compass Church this year. Come along and hear about the 3 key focus areas we are challenged to make a priority and also be the first to hear of our new initiatives and developments. None of what we will present is possible in our own strength and we want to be a church that pleases God so what it required is FAITH!
Faith, like hope, is a mysterious thing and something we all have a measure of. What are you doing with the faith you have? How will your faith stretch you this year and what will the results be in December 2010? PLEASE BRING your dreams/ goals/ desires for 2010 and we will be praying for you at the end of the service to see them and more come to pass. I am sure that when we combine our faith and your faith it pleases God and GREAT things will happen.
Have a great week, Dream BIG!
Ps Phill Brake - Senior Minister Compass Church
