Sunday Service: Pastoral Epistles - 1Timothy 2:1-7

Tomorrow we'll have our morning service to worship God together and to proclaim His Word in Budrio.

 

 

 

 

 

We are glad for the Lord's provision of the meeting room at the social center Magnolia, a well known cultural meeting point right at the centre of Budrio.


At 10.30 we'll start our service with our series on the Pastoral Epistles.
With Matteo we'll engage with 1Timothy 2:1-7 - God's desire for all people! 
Paul reminds us that only Christ and only the Gospel are the way to God. And this is precisely why he invites us to pray for all the people and proclaim Christ and the Gospel of Christ to all the people, as he also reminded the church in Ephesus: "praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel." Ephesians 6:18-19!
 
We'll have a children's talk where kids will engage with the same Bible passage.

MySpace Club 4 Teens - What Does It Mean To Have It All?: Money!

 

Tomorrow afternoon we'll have our
My Space Club 4 Teens
for this school year.

We organize this club for local kids,
in partnership with Budrio Town Hall
as part of their after-school programme.

In this way, we've been given a room in Budrio's Library and social workers are sending some of the kids they follow. 
As part of our club, we also offer help
with their English home-works.

 


 
 
 
Together we'll engage with the YfC Rock Solid material, interacting with the theme: What Does It Mean To Have It All?: Money!

We'll play lots of fun games like: Scavenger Hunt, Aardvark Relay, What’s In Your Wallet?, Grab The Cash!, Money Exchange, Sealed Bids, The Cost of Living, You Can’t Take It With You, Wealth Measurement Exercise, Generosity Project, Take The Money And Run, Coining It
, which will serve as illustrations to Stefano's Talk from Luke 6:27-38

Is the motivation for giving: “Give to get"? That’s not what Jesus meant, at all. Having a generous heart, and being generous givers, isn’t a personal investment scheme. It’s a revelation of the character of God, who loves to give. It’s a demonstration of the power of the Gospel, which turns selfish hoarders into cheerful givers. It’s a spring of grace in a city square, overflowing for the benefit of others. We will never regret being generous with our time, talent, and treasure.

Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38

Paul, facing the end of his life said: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:7-8!
May this be our daily prayer in Christ!

Sometimes life gets pretty tough and pretty stressful and sometimes that’s to do with school. But the amazing thing is that in times where everything feels super overwhelming, God cares and He wants us to come to Him. We can turn to God as a safe space and a refuge. In God, we can find peace and joy and a fresh perspective on things, because  God is ultimately in control and He is where perfect peace comes from: “Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.1 Peter 5:7
