FOOTSTEPS!
Posted by werner in Sermon Outline on August 28, 2010
In First Peter 1:20,21 the apostle Peter is writing:
“But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example
THAT YOU SHOULD FOLLOW IN HIS STEPS.”
Intr.:
“Follow Me” is the command of the Lord Jesus Christ. In which places is Christ found? Think of the places. There are more, but I will only mention three here.
The Lord Jesus Christ bids us to follow Him:
A. To the FIELD of service.
Acts 10:38
“how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the
–Holy Spirit and
–power, and
how he went around
–doing good and
–healing all who were under the power of the devil,
because God was with him.”
Acts 20:19
B. To the GARDEN of Gethsemane.
Luke 22:39-42
C. To the CROSS of Calvary.
Hebrews 13:12,13
End:
“……the gift of your time….”
“PLUNKET
whanau awhina
caring for young families”
“When you give the gift of your time………….you’ll get back as much as you give – maybe even more!”
The advertisement continues:
“Each year thousands of volunteers give their time, knowledge and skills to support the work of Plunket and help us to achieve our vision of giving every child the best start in life. If you want to help make a difference by donating your time for a cause you believe in, Plunket is great place to get going.”
ALL OUR TIME COMES FROM THE LORD!
LET US GIVE ALL OUR TIME TO THE LORD!
W.D.

Father’s Day – 5th September 2010
You can see already many posters telling us about Father’s Day! Father’s Day is this year on the 5th of September!
The local pharmacy has special mugs for sale. Because it is Father’s Day you get 30% off. You can buy a standard mug from $13.95. That same mug is normally $19.95.
New Zealand Post says: “Shop for Dad like he’d shop for you.” “Father’s Day made easy here.” You can buy there a gift, a card and postage of course.
Subway says, “The way to Dad’s heart is through his stomach.” – “SUBWAY GIFT CARDS FOR FATHER’S DAY.”
I have never known my father. He did not come back from the last world war. I have never been able to buy him anything – not even a card from the post shop.
But I have known my Father in heaven from an early age. Praise the Lord!
Who can give us real HOPE?
I’m looking here at a small advertisement in the the local paper today. It’s all about the:
“Cancer Society
DAFFODIL DAY
with your help there is hope”
“WITH YOUR HELP THERE IS HOPE.
CANCER NORTHLAND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT THROUGH THE YEARS.”
Where is real hope?
Read Jeremiah 29:11 “…, plans to give you hope…”
