Our desire is to live Paul's words: "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

The expectations of stopping and saying goodbye to school at least for a while are great. But are summer holidays really enough to give us rest? If we listen to Jesus' words in Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" we'll discover the true joyful rest, we can only experience in Jesus Christ.

Sunday Service @ Chiesa Evangelica di San Lazzaro

 

Tomorrow we'll be with our friends
from Chiesa Evangelica di San Lazzaro
for their Sunday morning service.
It will be great to fellowship with them
on The Lord's Day!

Stefano will preach from Matthew 11:16-30 - "Be like little children who receive and not like children who complain".

Together we'll see see the beauty of Christ who, to every generation exhausted from complaining at him, in order to affirm their false independence and who are oppressed by the heavy laden of man-made religion, says: - "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

In the meantime, he left us with His Great Commission: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age" Matthew 28:19-20

Theology for Breakfast

Tomorrow we'll continue
our series of meetings:  
Theology for Breakfast! 
Following Luther's Table Talks example, we'll meet from 9 to 11am @ Central Café in Mezzolara where, while enjoying a breakfast with capuccino & croissants, we'll engage with God's Word discovering the beauty of theology in our everyday life!

We'll interact with the module: Gospel Relationships. With Stefano we'll start Unit 6. Work.

 

Relationships are fundamental to our identity, yet they are fraught with difficulty, fear, conflict and uncertainty. Coming to Christ puts us automatically into relationship with a community of his people. The gospel enables relationships to fulfil their purpose and design. The gospel transforms all our relationships. It resolves conflict, and gives new purpose to friendships, parenting and marriages. Together we'll discover how we can be freed to serve and love others with gospel intentionality.

SEEKERS Club14-19: seek, and you will find!

Tomorrow afternoon we'll have our Seekers Club for 14/19 years old students, organized by YfC Italy 

with La Piazza Church,  

Forte Torre Church,  

Nuova Speranza Church,

La Rocca Church

and San Lazzaro Church,

In this study we'll see that to welcome Jesus' messengers and their Gospel message, is to welcome Christ himself! To copy the life and appearance of a disciple of Christ is not enough, one must really be one, because on that great day, the glorious King will separate those who belong to him from those who may have only pretended.

How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! See, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'." Matthew 23:37-39
