What has Jesus got to do with me?

Michael Plaege — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:29:32 +0000

Jesus made some significant claims about himself and the life he offers to those who trust and follow him. One such claim Jesus was – ‘I have come to give… life and life to the full!’ found in John’s Gospel chapter 10 and verse 10. As our creator Jesus came to earth to give us what we all want but find impossible to take hold of ourselves – rich satisfying life that lasts! The life Jesus promises is not ‘trouble-free’ life that means we never suffer or hurt but life we are able to successfully negotiate with God at the helm. And most importantly life that doesn’t end… life that is not interrupted by death, the spoiler of all good things. How does Jesus achieve this life for us? He does it by dealing with the one thing that makes life on both sides of the grave a misery – our sin (our rebellion towards God shown in our desire to live life without Him as our loving ruler). The Bible says when Jesus goes to the cross he suffers the judgement of God not for his sins, for he was the perfect man but for our sin. Raised to life by God, Jesus now offers the kind of life we were made for in relationship with Him now and into eternity. Would you like to know more about this life and the difference that Jesus can make?

Simply Christianity

One of the key ways we help people start a relationship with Jesus is through the Simply Christianity Course. The course involves five hour-long weekly sessions which give people the opportunity to sort out fact from fiction by looking at Luke’s biography of Jesus.

Everyone is welcome to come along to participate in the course or bring a friend along to help them investigate the claims of Jesus.

We run the course regularly on Sunday mornings and during WOW on Wednesday mornings. Occasionally we run a larger scale event in the community centre with dinner included.

Contact Michael Plaege or the church office for more information.

Can I get a bible in a more familiar language?

Dave Sheath — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 18:33:38 +0000

There are some really good English versions of the Bible that are translated directly from the original languages. At The Lakes we generally use the New International Version which is a good translation and very easy to read.

We have lots of copies of Luke’s gospel that we are happy to give away for free either in book form or on CD. If you’re just finding out about Christianity we would love to give you one. Feel free to contact the church office or just drop in. One of our staff would love to give you a copy of Luke’s gospel or give you some advice about buying a Bible.

There are also some great on-line Bible resources. You can download free e-bibles in English or many other languages be clicking here.

Our sermon page includes not only audio copies of our sermons but also automatically shows you the passage from the Bible that is the subject of the sermon.
