Viewing of Christian video - called 'Rhythm'
Leading Question (after watching the video):
When you think about God, or when you hear the word 'God', what images comes to your mind?
Gist of message in the video
Imagery used in the video:
God = Song
- Jesus is like God taking on flesh: generous, has compassion on people, tells the truth, love, forgiveness.. that's how the song goes.
- These songs are written in our hearts, and all of us are playing the song. But the question is not whether or not we are playing the song, the question is - are you in tune.
- There are people who talk as if they know everything about the Christian faith, what it means to be a christian... yet they can be out of tune. On the other hand, there are are people (new christians) who may not know alot about christianity, yet they seem to be more in tune
- We can believe in Jesus yet be totally out of tune, we may feel far away from Him... or are hiding sins that are not in tune with his word
- Jesus came so that we can live our lives to the fullest. If we live the way Jesus taught us to live, being in tune with the song, then we will live life to the fullest
(John 10:10)
From the song that KR people are so familar with... it speaks about being in tune with God... and all He asks for is for us to be in tune with Him... to sing that song with Him...
"I finally found the reason for living, its in giving every part of my life to him... in all that i do every word that i say..
We are the reason that He gave His life... suffered and died.. He gave all He could give... to show us the reason to live..."
We are the reason that He gave His son,
To show us our reason for living
So that we can live life to the fullest... ...
Questions & Prayers
1) What are the things that we would like to thank God for in 2006
2) What are some of the things that may have caused you to be out of tune in 2006?
What are some of the parts of our lives that we need to give to Him.... and to ask forgiveness from him.
Let us start the year right... to start the year with Jesus
3) Prayer: make that commitment as a cell, to make that choice - to choose to live life to the fullest, by being in tune with Him, by not just listening but doing
