Pastor Mark
Any moment He is thinking of us and loving us. He loves us so much. It is so good every sunday we can listen God’s love for us
God’s heart for closeness
Ephesians 2:13 NKJV
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Religious -> there is a old way Old and dying way
Not doing a lot of christian activities to come to God
The new way is Jesus has done it. He opened up the veil for me to come in.
New and living way is all about Jesus
The more you come to Jesus you have life.
The heavenly manna comes from heaven. It is enough for the day.
When we feed on Jesus we become joyful.
Christ-focus, we appreciate those loved ones around us.
When you touch Jesus you touch holiness
The focus is not on ourselves (our work) but on Jesus
God is allowed to love and embrace us when the veil is broken
As man we let God embrace us
With Jesus we can do all things through Christ who strengthen us
When we know we are loved, we do things without conscious
What is precious in life?
