How Great Is Our GOD!!!!!

We are very priviledged to serve and follow such a wonderful God. We have just finished Discovery at our house tonight, and there was nothing prepared so Colin suggested that we watch a dvd that the church had bought as a resource, it was entitled "Indescribable" by gifted speaker Louie Giglio. It was really awesome, if you get a chance you just have to watch it. We also were so interested in what he had to say that we ended up watching the second one called "How Great Is Our God".

The speaker, Louie Giglio, was mind-blowing. His talk centered on our place in the universe and just how small we are in the grand scheme of things.
I just want to let you know the basis of the talk was. It features LAMININ. What the heck is Laminin you ask? Let's start with a picture.


This is a photo that was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is of the center of a galaxy known as the Whirlpool Galaxy (photo below) millions of light years from Earth. As Christians we believe that God created the universe and everything in it. Take a good look at the image is that is in the center of that galaxy millions of light years away.



Now, we come to Laminin. Our bodies are all made up of Trillions and Trillions of cells that make up our body and all it's intricate parts. What holds this intricate body of ours together? Laminin. Laminin is a kind of protein that acts as the glue that holds all of our trillions of cells together. Here is a diagram of what laminin looks like scientifically.......


A cross. God is everywhere. In the far depths of the Universe and in every cell of our bodies.

Here is a link to "How Great Is Our God" where he talks about this, part of me doesn't want to share it because you really should see them for yourself, but check it out....... I really recommend them as great teaching and also great to share as a springboard for sharing with unchurched people. We were really blessed tonight as we shared as a group. My God is an awesome God!!!

Blessings......................Love Kylie xxx

Iron sharpens iron........

After coming across this verse today I began to think about it a little. You know sometimes we can get ourselves all worked up over the most ridiculous things and let something that really wasn't a big deal ruin our day. It reminds me of the need to surround myself with people that encourage me, but also to be an encourager. Sometimes we are a little preoccupied with ourselves and what makes us feel happy, but I think that it is the wrong way of looking at things. Yes, I am important, but if I focus all on me, then what happens to everyone else. I guess what I really mean is that if we surround ourselves with God-fearing, loving people who offer good role models and less rubbish then that is what we will become ourselves. Iron sharpens iron......how we act, speak and encourage or influence can really affect others, and if we want to be sharp for God then we really have to be mindful of everything that we do, think and say all the time. Challenging...... I was helping someone out to...

Busy, busy, busy...

Well, today has been quite a busy day. Started off with getting to the hall to let people in who were using the hall today and then ducking off for a quick much needed hair cut - yay! Then off to get the mail (drop home and hang a load of washing out), and get some groceries for the pantry at the church only to find that when I got to the cash register I did not have a signed cheque with me - cause we have to have two signatures. So then I had to rush back to the hall to get some cheques signed and then had a 10 minute time limit to get back to the supermarket and back to the hall for a Mission meeting. Mission meeting done, it was time to get home for a little lunch before we had to make some phone calls and visit someone in the hospital and pay a visit to some friends with whom I had to deliver a promised zucchini slice (which was really good - by the way, at least Colin enjoyed the other one that I made!) Then we could go home, more phone calls, and some planning to do. So, this wa...

God is closer than you think..... part 1

In our small group over the last two weeks and heading into the next at least 5 weeks (depending on how long it takes to do each study..... this first session has taken us two weeks) we have been looking at the study "God is Closer Than You Think" by John Ortberg.... he also has a book of the same name. It has been encouraging to see the many ways through the Bible where God has been with His people, especially when they weren't expecting it. So, for the next few days I am going to do my homework on here as a blog each day. Hope that it works like that! The story of the Bible is the story of God's desire to be with people. He is determined that each of uys be His friend, His companion, and His dwelling place. He is stretching out to reach us and fill our lives with His presence. All it takes is the barest effort - the lifting of a finger, the whisper of a prayer - for all of us to reach Him. (God is Closer Than You Think Small Group Guide p.17) Ortberg talks abou...
