Sunday Service: Visiting Preacher - Gian Paolo Aranzulla

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 and Gian Paolo Aranzulla, Pastor of the Forte Torre Evangelical Church in Bologna, will preach on  

"A faith put to the ultimate test" from Genesis 22. 

 

The Lord demands from Abraham to put to death what is most precious in his life, as a concrete expression of an ardent love for Him, ready to withhold nothing from the Lord!

 

We'll have a children's talk where kids will engage with the same Bible passage.

MySpace Club 4 Teens - Forgive & Forget!

 

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: Forgive & Forget!

We'll play lots of fun games like: Tag With A Twist, Highly Strung, Topple The Tower, Forgive And Forget?, Forgiveness Is Freeing, Rocky Run, Shiny And New, Good As New, which will serve as illustrations to Stefano's Talk from Matthew 6:5-15. It’s really good to know that because of the cross of the Son, the Father forgives our sins, but we are not always ready to forgive others when they sin against us! That’s why Jesus explains this part of the Lord's Prayer by telling us: “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15 When we live in the forgiveness of the Father, then we learn to live the forgiveness of the Son towards others!

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

Tomorrow afternoon we'll restart our Seekers Club for 14/19 years old students, organized by Youth for Christ Italy 

with La Piazza Church,  

Forte Torre Church,  

Nuova Speranza Church,

La Rocca Church,

and San Lazzaro Church.

 

 

 

Tomorrow, our church will host the meeting at the social center Magnolia in Budrio and with Stefano and Sofia, we'll engage with Mark 1:1 - Christianity is Christ: "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God."

This year we'll engage with the Gospel according to Mark using the Christianity Explored course for young adults - Soul. We'll be exposed to the person of Jesus, discovering his identity, mission and call, in the certainty that, as Jesus promised: Seek, and you will find! 

 

SUNDAY SERVICE: Matthew 28:1-15 - THE PASSION: The promised, announced, rejected Resurrection!

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 Matthew's Gospel - The King & his Kingdom! 

With Matteo we'll engage with Matthew 28:1-15 - THE PASSION: The promised, announced, rejected Resurrection!

The angel opens the tomb, not to let Jesus out, but to let the women in to see that he is no longer there. Jesus rose when the tomb was closed and it is the first Easter Sunday! "And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:14

 

 
 
We'll have a children's talk where kids will engage with the same Bible passage and families will have activities to keep interacting with God's Word during the week.

In a world where we are told to prioritise and put ourselves first and to think about our own wants... thinking about others and acting in their interest, not our own, seems like a weird thing to do. Yet we’ll see how true J.O.Y. comes when you put Jesus first, then Others, then Yourself! "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37-39

With Stefano we'll engage with Matthew 27:51-66 - THE PASSION: Witnesses transformed by the cross!

The extraordinary self-giving love of the Father, the incredible self-sacrificing love of the Son, the powerful transforming love of the Spirit, - require the love of the whole heart, the whole soul, the whole mind, and the whole strength, of his disciples, in living the missional love of the cross of Christ: "Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."." Matthew 16:24

Together we’ll see how facing conflicts we so easily fall into fight or flight, yet Jesus instead tells us to forgive because we have been forgiven so much! "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you" Ephesians 4:32

Together we’ll see how we are enslaved to lying that we even lie to ourselves! Yet God, of his own will, brought us forth by the word of truth. So then Jesus says to us: "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
