2nd
Colossians 1:15 - 23
Stewardship of the Earth

2 Peter 3:10-13
But that doesn't mean we shouldn't look after the Creation

Romans 8:31

Creation is Good

1 Timothy 4

Jesus Created Everything
John 1:3

vs 16
Creation is for Jesus - For His purposes.
If you really want to care about the environment, you need to know about Jesus.
And if you know Jesus, you really need to care about the environment.
(But discernment is needed.)

Jesus reconciles all things - Hope
vs 19 - 23
The Resurrection is the hope of all Creation.

Isaiah 11
3rd
Luke 15: 1 -7
Parable of the Lost Sheep
Sin

Repentance
vs 6
A party

Wedding
A blessing to the bride and groom.

Two groups of people
Those who are religious
Those who are least likely to attend church.
Jesus welcomed the latter.
The former thought that Jesus would see them first.
Their arrogance kept Jesus from them.
vs 3
The parable 'Suppse you had 100 sheep'.
Sheep were valuable, more like pets than work animals.

vs 4
He searched until he found the lost sheep.
A joyful reflection. The opposite of a modern day sheep farmer's reaction.

vs 7
More rejoicing in heaven.

Isaiah 40

Would we accept Jesus as the owner.

A car has a badge, representing the manufacturer.
So, we have a Jesus badge.

Colossians 1
Created by Him and for Him.

Psalm 34

Repentance.

Mark 14
Peter denying Jesus, then crying when he realised what he had done.
17th
Colossians 1:15 - 20

2 Peter 3:1 - 10
Fight for the truth
Fighting
Including in Churches

Standing up for the truth of God.

An attack mindset sometimes isn't needed.

Genesis 3:1 - 5
Satan twisted God's words.

It is the same today.

vs 3, 4

Twisting the word. Teaching parts differently. Or ignoring parts of it. Diminishing it.

How to punch back?
How are you punching back?

vs 8 - 10
Reminder of the Promise

Live as a people who are looking forwards to the new heavens and the new Earth.
18th
Communion
John 3:12 - 17
Colossians 3:12 - 17

Sermon
Mark 6:30 - 44
What is your relationship with Jesus like?
There is always something more.

The people gave up everything to follow Jesus to the other side of the lake.

Who created the opportunity for the miracle to take place?
The people who chose to follow Jesus?

The Disciples were radically obedient. (They didn't hold back any of the food.)
God wants you to have a lifestyle of radical obedience.
