Today has been a good day here but busy. I woke up, went to church with Tan, met up with Andja, then all three of us went to Chan's game. After Chan's game we all went and got lunch together then after lunch came back to my apartment. Chan and I chilled for awhile then we went and got dinner then came home and have been relaxing some. It is nice to be able to catch up with my old teammate/roommate.
We have off tomorrow too which is really nice!
God bless,
Megan
I wanted to share with you the notes from today's message at church:
Notes from today's message:
3/22/14
Follow Christ and Save Your Life
Mark 8:31-39
Mark 9:1-13
*The human soul is priceless. "And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?"
We know how to guard our material possession but how do we guard our souls? FOLLOW JESUS
1. To follow Christ we need to KNOW Christ.
- Jesus Christ called his disciples his friends, yet the disciples never called Jesus their friend (there was a level of respect there).
2. To follow Christ, is to follow Jesus as the Messiah
*GOSPEL - came in weakness to achieve victory
-To associate with the cross means to come with a broken and contrite spirit.
3. To follow Christ is to deny yourself.
Philippians 2:1-5
-don't be selfish
-be humble
-encourage others
-WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION?
4. To follow Christ is to be ready to suffer for Christ. - Are you willing to die for Him?
JESUS IS LORD - He is not our friend or buddy.
"We need to guard our souls by following Christ."
