John 1:12: Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

Restore to me my innocence oh Lord

Give me a heart that believes again

Help me to see the best in people and to trust

Lord recover this mind that doubts and rebels

Let me run again with no fear

I am yours

Your child Lord

Receive me

I believe.

Col 3:12: Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.


I bought a pair of jeans 12 months ago called Nudies

I have worn them pretty much everyday since I bought them

The cool thing about these jeans is the more you wear them the more comfortable they are and the better they look – well that’s my opinion…

However these jeans are now wearing out, lots of holes are showing up in all the wrong places

Following Christ and being chosen by God comes with an even greater clothing line

This line of clothing is changing the world and will continue to change the world

Putting this clothing on sends a clear message of what you are about and what the designer is all about

The alternative is that we will end up being clothed with the clothing of this world...its not a good look

When we choose to put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience we show the world the genius of the one who chose us and designed us

What are you going to wear today?  Its up to us to put it on…

Lets change the world by changing our clothing and promoting our designer

Heb 10:25: Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.


The God we serve is in a constant state of meeting

The trinity exists through their commitment to celebrate the relationship that is between them

So much so they are one

Giving up on meeting together is giving up on the reason God created us

Giving up on being together in one place at one time is giving up
on an essential defining factor of what the church is all about

Let this time of meeting be a time of encouragement

Let us not give up...for that Day is approaching

2 Tim 1:7: For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

It is important to know what God hasn’t given us

It is easy to focus on what He has given us and forget that he also hasn’t given us certain things

Confusion and doubt live in the abundance of fear

He is the Way out of fear

This Way is only journeyed as we realize what he hasn’t given us and what he has given us

Are you filled with doubt and fear?

God did not give you that

Are filled with faith?

God gave you that

This following Christ is done by what His spirit gives us, power, love and self-discipline
