HOPE Team Hampers

HAMPERS:

 

The HOPE Team is still looking for suggestions of families who could do with a Hamper this Christmas. Please note, these are for families in need. We want to be a blessing to others. This is one way of doing so. God's love is not only expressed in giving out tracts, in preaching and in sharing testimonies, but in being practical.

 

Email Gemma with suggestions revolutionyc@btinternet.com Please note these are only suggestions. Not everyone will get a Hamper. It would help if you could give some brief details about the family (numbers and ages). If you want to contribute towards the Hampers please also contact Gemma.

 

Thanks.

Thumbs up for another great service, and hands up to God for His never failing presence and blessing. As Gareth said, "God is good", and as Colin responded "All the time". Hey, no matter what we're going through, whether it's the Church, you, me or the hamster, God is not only good all the time, but as Jonathan said, God is also always in control! So come on, let's believe these things and let's encourage one another.

 

GOD's PURPOSE: Jonathan brought another great word entitled "God's Purpose". Text Jer. 29:11. Having made a complete fool of Maxine by putting a blindfold on her and sending her aimlessly around the church, he explained that living without purpose is like living with a blindfold on. People with blindfolds on will listen to anyone just to get somewhere, anywhere. They have no vision, no purpose and no direction. However, the Chinese Proverb got it right by saying, "If Heaven made him, earth can find a use for him".

 

There are five things you should do to know God's purpose: 1) Accept and believe that God created you for a purpose. 2) Be determined to discover God's Will for your life; search for it and pursue it. 3) Do Something! Start somewhere and do something. 4) Be Patient! He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion. 5) Allow the Process to prepare you. Character is more important than vocation (calling); who you are is more important than what you do.

 

Thank God that one woman, who was a backslider, came forward for prayer and recommitted her life to Christ. Others came forward for prayer during the closing worship. This is something we plan to do regularly, to provide people with an opportunity for prayer by members of our Prayer Team. One young man spoke to me after the service. The last time I was speaking with him he was standing with a gun in his hand! It is so amazing to see God working on his life (don't put this in the Newsletter Bill!).

 

THIS WEEK: we once again have a full programme. Lot's to do! People to meet! Fellowship, teaching, and encouragement etc. Including Life Groups on Tuesday Night; prayer times Monday 11 am and Thursday 7.45 pm. BUT THERE ARE TWO SPECIALS:

 

GLOW CHRISTMAS DINNER: About 100 women are booked in for this on Wednesday night. Many of them are not committed Christians, so this is a great outreach and a great effort. Well done GLOW. For more information email Chara at charamck@hotmail.com

 

PAUL JAMES visiting New Life as follows:

 

Saturday 4 December 10 am-12 Seminars on Evangelism for THE CHURCH. Paul will speak on "Mission and Method". This is an event for EVERYONE; for YOU. Some came to the worship seminars with Jarrod Cooper, because they know they are called to be worshipers. However, if you think you are called to worship, but not to evangelise, you need to think again and you need to come out next Saturday morning. So come on, if you have not yet signed up to be there, do so now by emailing Colin Houston at colinriverword@yahoo.co.uk 

 

Sunday 5 December 11.30 am Worship & Teaching and 7.00 pm Sunday Night Monthly Special. Paul will be praying for the sick and will speak prophetically into people's lives.  

 

Thanks again to everyone who stands with us and who works hard for the development and advancement of New Life City Church.

 

Stay focused; stay strong; and keep being a God-influence.

Pastor Jack

Can you please remind everyone that we need any contributions towards the

Sunday Morning: At the end of the service on Sunday morning, Pastor Eric McComb said, "These people make it easy to preach". This was evidenced, not only by big Colin shouting out his encouraging "Come on", but by others responding with similar audible approvals and with several spontaneous applauses. He also said, "I didn't know most of the songs you sang, but there was heart in the worship, and I felt that". He and Ruth thoroughly enjoyed their time with us.

The message he brought was from Joshua 14, and was titled "The Man who Loved a Challenge". Caleb's cry to God was "Give me this mountain". God had promised him this 45 years earlier. The promise was made in the face of negativism and opposition. Ten spies had negatively responded to what they saw in Canaan; the giants and the walled cities etc; they opposed Caleb's attempt to convince Moses and the people to cross over and to lay hold of the promises of God. He saw the same things they had seen, but his response was different, because he had a different spirit.

God may have given us a specific promise some time ago. That promise is not yet fulfilled, because the promise was not for then; it's for now! This made me think of Judah Smith's word, that our men listened to at the Momentum night away in Ballintoy, when he talked about "Being in the meantime" and encouraged us to stay in the boat and to not jump ship. We might not be there yet, but we're getting there!

After Pastor McComb had brought his excellent word to us, we went into another amazing time of worship and communion, during which time several people moved to the front and were prayed for by members of our Prayer Team. Church was good!

This Coming Week. There's always something each week for everyone. These are not organised to keep us busy, but to keep us connected and to help us grow. So, check out what 'Life Groups' are on, and plan to get along to one (email Gareth Spudmurphy123@btinternet.com to find out what's on and where). Don't forget about the Testimony and Barn Dance night on Tuesday night. £5 per person towards Pauline going to India on a short Mission Trip.

Then there's the Prayer Times, Monday 11 am, Thursday 7.45 pm, Saturday 10.30 am, but also, this being the last week in the month, we have our monthly late night prayer time on Friday night from 10 am - 12 midnight. It would be awesome to see you there. One of the things that Pastor McComb said was, "Kneel before God, and you'll stand before men".

Come on ahead guys and girls, Let's have a great week together!      

Thanks again to everyone who stands with us and who works hard for the development and advancement of New Life City Church.

 

Stay focused; stay strong; and keep being a God-influence.

Couple Things

Alan Murphy has asked for prayer for a friend whose son is seriously ill in hospital with meningitis. His name is Mark; his father is also called Mark and is a Christian.

 

A girl who has been confiding in Kathleen in recent weeks is having to move out of her parents' home. She has a 16 year old daughter who has been away for several months and has just come back to her. The young girl is going through withdrawal from cocaine. They have a place to go to, but have no furniture. If you have anything you can give, please let me know what you can give. I will make up a list and then see what we can do to collect it.

 

Thanks.

Re Need Your Help

Gemma's number is 07921068960

 

Need Your Help

From next Tuesday night Youth Justice will be using the upstairs of City Life Centre. They will be paying for the use of the facility, but we are also providing them with meals for up to 20 people. These will be young people in the Youth Justice system plus members of their families. This is an opportunity to be involved practically and thereby build a positive relationship with the Youth Justice Department.

 

Gemma, representing HOPE, has agreed to take on board the organising of dinners etc, but we need your help. We need volunteers. The meals need to be served by 5.30 pm next Tuesday. If you can help in any way please contact Gemma by email revolutionyc@btinternet.com or phone 0792168960.

 

Please note: this is only to help provide and serve meals and clean up afterwards. This is not to get involved or interfere with the families as there will be Probation Officers etc facilitating sessions with them.

 

Thanks.

Weekly Contact 15 November 2010

Is it only me, or do others feel the very presence of God connect with us as we join together on Sunday mornings? Thanks to everyone for your contributions and participation. No wonder when we bring the message we do so with such anointing. It's our personal preparation; it's the presence of God and it's the hunger of His people that just draws the best from us.

 

The Right to Life: The past two weeks I have brought a hard message, yet one that has touched many people, even for some to the point of tears during the message. Thanks for the many encouraging responses, even from some who have lost loved ones or friends to suicide. One person who lost a brother to suicide wrote, "Thanks Jack. Your message helped me a lot. I feel better in myself about things that I didn't understand . Thank you for your insight in this matter." The main points in the message were:

 

1. It is my firm belief that to take the issues of life and death into our own hands is a direct violation of the Word of God, whether it's the taking of one's own life through suicide or the taking of another life through murder, abortion or euthanasia. 

 

2. My challenge to all of us is that we enter the small gate and walk the narrow road, which, although is the harder path of submission to the commands and the absolutes of God's Word, is where we find life and purpose to life.

 

3. In regards to suicide: Suicide quite clearly is an act of sin as it is the taking of life that is given by God and is deemed by God to be precious and valued. However, suicide is not an unforgiveable sin; it is not an unpardonable sin. Suicide on its own is not a damning act; the damning act is the rejection of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

 

4. It is not our call to judge. This is God's call. He is judge of all the earth and as such he will do right.

 

The complete message (in two parts) can be ordered and listened to again. The title is The Right to Life.

 

MOMENTUM: We had another good night last night as we listened to Craig Groeschel speaking on "The Forgotten Virtue of Integrity". Integrity is when your behaviour MATCHES your beliefs. He spoke on the four benefits of integrity, which are:

 

1. You will walk more closely with God

2. You will have a built in guide (knowing what's right and what's wrong)

3. You will have a constant peace

4. You will gain trust, respect, honour and influence

 

There is still time to sign up to join us this Friday night until Saturday morning at Ballintoy. It's only £20 for accommodation and food. The fellowship and the teaching will be amazing. If you have not already signed up please contact Gareth for more details etc at Spudmurphy123@btinternet.com

 

GLOW: Message from Chara: GLOW Christmas Dinner on Wednesday 1st December at 7pm. £5 per person (I'm sending an extra £5 with Kathleen so she can bring a dinner home!). Please invite someone along. Give Danielle names and money next Sunday at latest or email charamck@hotmail.com so we know how many are going.

Pastor Paul James: will be with us for the weekend of 4 & 5 December for a motivational weekend on evangelism. This will be another great weekend for the church. Please to be part of it. For catering purposes (tea and coffee break) we need you to sign up for Saturday morning. If you have not already signed up please do so by sending an email to Colin Houston colinriverword@yahoo.co.uk  This weekend is part of our Twenty10Renew commitment to you for training and spiritual growth. Your part is to sign up and join with others. More details are on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/?tid=1503717795221&sk=messages#!/event.php?eid=122402614487019

PICS OF CU @ the CROSS

Have  look at

http://cuatthecross.com/Media.php

 

Think of Others

It just dawned on me tonight that if there is one thing worse than judging people, it is "misjudging" people. We should not judge even when we're right (because then we're wrong!), but when we misjudge then we are right in nothing; not even the judgement! Does that make sense? Well, it will, but it will only make sense when you apply it! That's for facebook!

 

Our young people did so well on BBC Newsline last night. It went in a different direction from what we had thought, but the Belfast Telegraph helped to sort that out tonight, although their headline was a bit over the top! Pray for young Corey. He was brave to say the least.

 

Pray for Maxine's son who has gone to Afghanistan. He and 11 of his colleagues got into a fight with Jordanian soldiers (in Jordan). They could all have died, but they survived.

 

Pray one for another, not just because someone is not at church, but because you really care about them.

 

Don't forget Celebrate Recovery on Thursday night at 7.30 and the Prayer & Bible Study at 7.45.

Evangelism at New Life

In keeping with Twenty10Renew and our 5 Year Strategy we have organised a weekend of evangelism training and outreach. We've already had a great weekend focused on worship with guest speaker Jarrod Cooper, our next focus will be evangelism with guest speaker Paul James. Details as follows:

 

Saturday 4 December 10 am-12 Evangelism for the Church.

Sunday    5 December 11.30 am Worship & Teaching

                                           7.00 pm Sunday Night Monthly Special

                                                            Paul will be praying for the sick and

                                                            will speak prohetically into people lives.  

 

Pastor Paul James, who has been Senior Pastor at GateWay Revival Church www.gatewayrevival.co.uk since 1993, is at heart an Evangelist. In past years he has balanced being a Pastor and an itinerant preacher, taking the message of God's Word nationally and internationally both in words and in song.

Paul moves in a powerful prophetic anointing which will challenge you to the core of your spirit and bring about eternal change as you come under the Word of God.

He has recorded two music albums: Come Into My Life and Come Holy Spirit.

Me, Willie, John, and Les are attending the mens night away, but if there is one man or woman who can driver the blue bus then we might no have to cancel. I know every man should be going on the night away, but just if there is one who has to work on Sat and cannot go. Can you forward an e-mail out to everyone. I would need to know before this Friday as I will have to let kids know this Friday night.

What an amazing weekend of witness. You know I have gotten to the point where it no longer matters who's not there; it no longer matters who's not standing alongside me, but what matters is who is there and who is standing alongside me. For this reason I want to thank all who stood with us, not only the past weekend, but from the day we launched New Life and especially since moving into our new building one year ago.

Seventeen years ago, God gave us Isaiah 60:18, "You will call your walls salvation, and your gates praise". He gave us this verse when we had no gates and we were nowhere near the dividing walls. Yet this verse has now been, and continues to be, fulfilled. The fact is salvation has come to these walls and praise has come to these gates, and as Jimmy Cricket said, "There's more"! God has not finished with us.

C U @ the CROSS has motivated many people, both within New Life and in other churches. For example, James Scott was motivated to Prayer Walk the streets for several weeks late at night and to witness to young people; others were motivated to walk with him at times. Colin Houston and Andrew Higgins were motivated to put posters, banners and boards across the Shankill and the Falls and to witness to many as they did. Eric McComb, Superintendent of Elim, was motivated to pay for Full Page newspaper adds! Up to 75 people from New Life and other churches in the Shankill were motivated to Prayer Walk the streets together. Billy Haddock, Tommy Latimer and others in Stadium Projects were motivated to make and put up a 20 foot cross. Many were motivated to wear tee shirts and hoodies promoting the cross. Men in county Armagh were motivated to lend us 13 foot cross to promote the event and a truck to use as a platform on the day. A few hundred were motivated to join with us between the gates. Others were motivated to meet around a cross in different parts of the USA and in other places. I will post their reports on www.cuatthecross.com.

 

What is our vision? "To be a God influence to the city and beyond..." Is this being fulfilled? I will let you answer this.

Jesus never called us to attend church, but to BE the church. He does not call us to live and settle in a changing world, but to change the world in which we live. I pray that more and more will catch this vision and in so doing will help change the world in which we live.

I don't know about you, but I'm not just going to sing about it, I'm gonna be a History Maker in this land. I'm gonna be a speaker of truth to all mankind.

 

Thanks again to everyone who stands with us and who works hard for the development and advancement of New Life City Church.

 

Have a great week. Stay focused; stay strong; and keep being a God-influence.

24 hours to save Sakineh

Dear Friends,

Iran could execute Sakineh Ashtiani tomorrow. We saved her from stoning, now we have 24 hours to get key powers to take emergency action to stop this shameful killing.

Tomorrow, Iran could execute Sakineh Ashtiani.

Our global outcry stopped her unjust stoning sentence in July. Now we have 24 hours to save her life.

Iran's allies and key UN powers are our best hope -- they could persuade Iran of the serious political cost of this high-profile killing. Click below to send them an urgent call to action and send this to everyone -- it only takes three minutes and we are her last chance:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/24h_to_save_sakineh/?vl

Sakineh's adultery case is a tragic sham stacked with human rights violations. First, she was to be stoned to death. But the Iranian government had to revoke the sentence after her children generated a worldwide outcry against the farcical trial -- she could not speak the language used in court, and the alleged incidents of adultery took place after her husband's death.

Then her lawyer was forced into exile, and the prosecution conjured up a new trumped-up charge for which she would be executed -- the murder of her husband. Despite this being double jeopardy, as she is already serving time for alleged complicity in this crime, Sakineh was tortured and paraded on national television to 'confess', and was found guilty. Since then the regime has arrested two German journalists, her lawyer and her son, who has bravely led the international campaign to save his mother. All remain in prison and Sakineh's son and lawyer have been also tortured and have no access to lawyers.

Now Iranian human rights activists state an order has just been issued from Tehran to implement her killing immediately. She is on the list and tomorrow is execution day.

Our persistent campaigning led Iran to drop Sakineh's stoning sentence and captured the attention of leaders in countries with influence on Iran, like Turkey and Brazil. Now let's urgently raise our voices to stop her killing and inhumane treatment and free her, her lawyer, her son and the jailed German journalists. Send a message and share this emergency call with friends and family:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/24h_to_save_sakineh/?vl

A massive public outcry has the moral authority to stop heinous crimes. Let's use these 24 hours to send a clear message -- the world is watching and we all stand together today to save Sakineh's life and against injustice everywhere.

With hope and determination,

Alice, Stephanie, Pascal, Giulia, Benjamin and the whole of the Avaaz team

Prayer

Sonia McClements has asked for prayer for her mum who is having to go back into the hospital. It seems she is still losing blood and will need to get another transfusion. The main thing, however, is that doctors do not know how or why she is losing blood.  

 

Davy Nesbitt has asked for prayer for his dad who has to go for a scan on 12 November as something has been spotted on his lungs.

 

Keep the requests flowing, but keep praying if only for a moment before deleting.

Bus drivers NEEDED for Revolution

Revolution Youth desperately needs help with the mini bus. There are one or
two who help when needed, but no one permanent, especially at a time when
the youth group is growing.

Mark says, "We urgently need a new bus driver who could take young people
home from 9:30 on a Friday evening. They would not have to be at youth but
be available from 9:30. Bus route currently includes, Ballysillan,
Glencairn, Lyndhurst, Springmartin and Shankill. All local areas. If we get
more than 1, I would work a rota out so ppl wouldn't be on every week."

Back Home

Great to be back home.

 

Kathleen & I had an awesome time in Texas. We had an amazing time of ministry and of meeting with new and "old" friends. Several people committed their lives to Christ; others reaffirmed their faith or recommitted themselves to Christ; while many others were touched, blessed and challenged.

 

We had a great time on our first Sunday morning at the Huffman Church, just outside Houston. This was our first time there. We received an amazing welcome and were truly blessed by their friendship and support. Sunday night we were at the First Assembly AG in Victoria. It was great to reconnect and renew fellowship and friendship with Johnny and Renita Knight and to minister again at their church.

 

The following Thursday I helped increase the temperature at the River of Life Church in Houston (Dr. Andrew Willis' home church). Man his people are so alive and vibrant they just draw the word out of you. No wonder the Dr. preaches as he does! He has to in order to survive there! But hey, I did more than survive! The place totally rocked.

 

Saturday and Sunday we were in San Antonio where I ministered at the Oasis International Christian Centre with Dennis Goldsworthy. Both the Leadership Meeting on Saturday and the church service on Sunday were God inspired and God anointed. Thanks Dennis for your friendship and your support.

 

It was also good to meet up with Joe & Lisa Giesler and their sons Joe and Charlie. Great family; great love for God and for others. We also met up with Jim and Sally Heurich. Long story here, but our hearts were broken as they shared the circumstances of the recent death of their 21 year old son Johnny. This is an amazing couple who have helped many people via Teen Challenge. Our prayers continue to be with them and with others we met with who have been going through "some stuff".

 

Being a God influence in a broken world.
