Ok, that saying has been used for many topics. My 6th grade band leader used to say, "a band that taps together stays together." Well, I don't play trombone anymore, but the logic behind it still sticks. Since we are talking about Church unity in Ephesians 4, I know that reading God's Word together will help us stay together.<div><br /></div><div>New Hope, and anyone else who wants to join in, will be starting a new Bible reading plan this Sunday. Here is how it works. We will be using an online Bible reading plan that may work for many of you. I know that several of you already use <a href="http://www.youversion.com/">YouVersion </a>on your phone, ipod, or on your computer. This is a great tool to have the Bible with you where ever you go. You Version offers many Bible reading plans to choose from. Ones that will take you through the Bible in a year to an array of different topics. These daily reading plans are tracked on a calendar for you to make sure you don't forget where you are. You can have the plan emailed to you each day or even put the app on your mobile device. If you want, you can even share with your facebook crowd that you what you read that day or just the occasional verse that may have jumped out at you during the day. You can even decide which of the many versions of the Bible you would like to read. If you need to brush up on your Hungarian, they have that available. So, go to <a href="http://www.youversion.com/">You Version</a> and start a FREE account with them if you haven't already. It's super easy and I think you will enjoy having the usage of this tool. </div><div><br /></div><div>I know that for some of you holding the actual leather bound Bible in your hands is much easier and more enjoyable, so to help you with that we will have paper copies of the reading plan available to you at New Hope this week.</div><div><br /></div><div>The reading plan this time will be on <a href="http://www.youversion.com/reading-plans/prayer">Prayer</a>. A very important topic. These readings are fairly short and will cover prayers from Jesus, the apostles, and kings of the Old Testament. As we read these inspired words of God, we need to be asking ourselves how our prayers match the Biblical example we are reading. Learning how to pray in a godly manner is vital to our walk with Jesus. Click <a href="http://www.youversion.com/reading-plans/prayer">HERE </a>to find this reading plan.</div><div><br /></div><div>We will also be starting a<a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_223457547669540"> facebook group</a> (for those who don't facebook...come on!) so we can leave our thoughts to each days readings. Maybe you have a question or comment. Maybe just need to have us pray with you on something. Whatever it is, let's use this as one more way to encourage each other in love and good deeds. If you want to leave comments at the bottom of this post in regards to your reading, that works as well. Let's share with each other what we are reading and thinking. This is one more way to Connect with God's family.</div><div><br /></div><div>I love you guys and I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10am as we start our reading plan and as we continue in our understanding of Ephesians.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bearing His torch</div><div>P.

I know that many of you already have great study tools that you use often, but maybe these will be something you can add to your arsenal.  If you don't use anything yet to help you study, these will be a good start. Either way, I highly reccomend these tools.</p>
<p>www.esvonline.org<br>
www.youversion.com<br>

<p>Are there ones that you use that you would like others to know about?  Put them in the comments so we can all see them.</p>

If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take."</p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto">How many countless people have prayed this prayer. And so often half-heartedly. Maybe because it's the only prayer they know aside from "God is great, God is good now we thank Him for our food."</p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto">The times in which we are living right now calls for far greater prayers and far greater comfort than what these afford us. We are faced with a time in history in which we must totally be assured that the living God, who is our Creator, is actively involved in our lives. We must walk in the truth that He is the security and peace that we need.</p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto">Now is NOT the time to fall into the trap of fear, half-truths, gossip and frustration. Now is the time to have a TRUE peace of mind. Peace of mind that only comes from trust in the Living God who is more that abundantly able to take care of the present and the future.</p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto">The author of most of the book of Psalm is King David. He knew darkness, fear and uncertainty. He was chased by the mad man King Saul; pursued by his own son who had murder on his mind; led the nation of Israel through many a fierce battle; fell into a destructive pattern in life that led to adultery, lying and murder...just to name a few things he went through in life. Yet the man knew where his peace, comfort, rest and certainty truly came from.</p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">These are a few things that the distressed Psalmist found that worked for him during his times of darkness.</b></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"></b><b>Psalm 1:1, 2</b> - Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.</p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto"><b>Psalm 16:7-9</b> - I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

So much wisdom was presented and God was really working on our lives.<br />
<br />
We were given two questions to talk about around our tables. "How does the church reveal Jesus? and How do I reveal Jesus?"<br />
<br />
There was a lot said about how the church is revealing Jesus and much about how it isn't. Agreed, there is work to be done in how the church reveals Jesus, but I believe that all hope is not lost. We can become the church that Jesus envisioned when He created us. There were many practical ways given that we can be the church and reveal Jesus to the world. Giving of our time, loving people like no one else can, taking care of our neighbors and actually speaking the name of Jesus not just living the life.<br />
<br />
But there was one answer that I really thought summed it up. It was said that the answer of the first question is truly answered by the second. As a whole, we will be ineffective if we are not individually revealing Jesus. It has to start with me and you as a person before we can expect to come together as a whole and really reveal Jesus to the world.<br />
<br />
I want to hear your thoughts. Throw them in the comment section below.<br />
<br />
How can the church reveal Jesus if the individual is not willing to reveal Jesus?<br />
How can YOU reveal Jesus to the world?<br />

Bring your favorite breakfast dish to share with everyone as we have a breakfast potluck. This will all start at 10am. We will be having some fun around the tables as we talk about God not only having a plan for us but that He is also in control of everything!<br />
<br />
We will see you all at 10am tomorrow.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3180364074156364949.post-49699907397703731252011-01-10T09:20:00.000-08:002011-01-10T09:32:09.584-08:00RevelationAre you stewarding your revelation? This was our topic on Sunday as we looked at <a href="http://www.esvonline.org/search/ephesians+3:1-3/">Ephesians 3:1-3</a>.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>The apostle Paul had a couple revelations (<a href="http://www.esvonline.org/search/acts+9:1-7/">Acts 9:1-7</a> and <a href="http://www.esvonline.org/search/acts+22:17-21/">Acts 22:17-21</a>). </div><div><br />
</div><div>He had a moment there in Acts 22 that he tried to convince God that he was too bad a man and therefore couldn't steward the revelation that he was given. I love it...He tries to convince God that the redemption of sins through Jesus wasn't enough! How tragic that many of us sit, without acting on our revelation, because we doubt the power of Jesus' blood.</div><div><br />
</div><div>In the story of Saul in <a href="http://www.esvonline.org/search/acts+9:10/">Acts 9</a> we see another man, Ananias. He was given a revelation as well. His was to go to Damascus and pray for this brute of a man named Saul. Ananias does a great job of trying to jog God's memory about who Saul is. Hit man, hater of Jesus' disciples, and all around bad man. As if God forgets! As followers of Christ is it not our job to remind God of the possible hardships that our revelation may bring, our job is obedience.</div><div><br />
</div><div>But the beauty of both of these men's story was this: they obeyed God!</div><div><br />
</div><div>In fact, Paul knew that what was revealed to him by God was important enough to let it consume his life. He let it become who he was. He became a good steward of that revelation.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The keys of being a good steward of your revelation is this:</div><div>Listen</div><div>Obey</div><div>Act</div><div><br />
</div><div>What has God spoken to you to be about? What was the word God gave you? What is YOUR revelation? We all have one.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Maybe it was the booming voice experience like Saul had or maybe it was the quiet voice like Ananias experienced.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Maybe it was to do something large and in the public or maybe it was to grasp (and live out) the truth that you are a child of God.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Whatever it is are you being a good steward?<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">What is your revelation? In what ways are you being a good steward? In what areas do you need to improve? Leave a comment, let's talk.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3180364074156364949.post-60000710371204855282011-01-04T09:28:00.000-08:002011-01-04T09:28:13.309-08:00Looking for a fun evening?Ever want to do something fun?

(<a href="http://www.esvonline.org/search/matt+28/">Matthew 28:19, 20</a>) Whether at home (our Jerusalem) or abroad (our Judea's, Samaria's and ends of the earth), we must go! Sometimes we can support the spread of the gospel by actually going to the ends of the earth ourselves, but more often than not we get to support it through our financial giving and prayers. Our monthly missions offering is THIS SUNDAY! Please come prepared to give as the Lord would lead.<br />
<br />
We have several friendships with people who are going to the ends of the earth. One such friend is Jim and Terri Cannon. They came to New Hope this last summer and shared their hearts with us about South Africa. Here is their latest letter. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Hello friends,</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We have arrived safely in South Africa, no lost luggage or lost children, which is quite a feat considering how difficult it is to fly these days! Checking in 13 bags, and then getting all the children. assorted bags, stroller, laptops, etc, through security both in Seattle and London was a stressful time, but we worked as a team and got it done! We did have to pay almost $800 for our extra and overweight bags, isn't that terrible? We have never had to do that before, times have changed!</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We have been coping with jet lag quite well this time, little Nathan promptly yawns, grabs his blanket, and heads to bed here at the hostel where we are staying and falls asleep fast! He has had some difficulties coping with so much time on the airplane, but is doing quite well, and keeps asking us,</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">"we going to Afwreekah now?"</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Sam and Jess are enjoing the hot weather, and making the adjustment well. We picked up our vehicle today, a Land Rover Freelander, and it is going to work very well for us. We chose it because it was roomier for our three children than a pickup, and has a tow bar, to whch we can add a trailer later on. It has been fun remembering so many things from our previous years here, and relearning how to drive on the left side of the road! But it is all coming naturally, and we are all very happy to be here.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Tomorrow is New Years Day, and we are reminded of the scripture where it tells us God's faithfulness is "new every morning." Every day can be a fresh beginning, or a chance to make things right with the Lord Jesus. We don't have to make new years resolutions that</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">we can't possible keep. We can walk day by day with Jesus and find success in all we do. No, it isn't always an easy life, sometimes there are challenges, even tribulation, but walking with God makes everything sweeter because you are in right relationship with Him...no better place to be!</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">'Thank you' seems so inadequate when it comes to expressing you our appreciation to you for your support of our return to South Africa. This coming year we hope to move forward into many areas of ministry. Thank you in advance for your faithful prayers and financial support. </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This is a good time to consider a monthly partnership with Acts of Mercy! We are praying God will grow this ministry to the level where we can make a substantial contribution to feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, helping the orphan and street child, ministering to the prostitute. This is an investment in lives that cannot be compared. To feed the hungry, to care for those who are so very needy. Please consider it!</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Donations can be sent to:</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">World Outreach Minstries</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">PO Box B</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Marietta GA 30061</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Designate for Jim Cannon, #39</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Thank you! </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We will post some pictures once we are settled and have access to some form of internet. We leave this hostel in Johannesburg around 7 am tomorrow on new years day to head to our new house. Please pray for the following:</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Our adjustment back to life in South Africa</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Open doors of ministry, guidance as to where the Lord would have us begin</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Connecting with ministers and community leaders</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A project you can be involved in in a tangible way if you would like financially is provision for a</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">trailer for hauling food and equpment for around $2500.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">And finally a big thank you to all who donated for our vehicle, it is so wonderful to have a car that will work in the rural roads, and is dependable. Thank you so much!</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Blessings,</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Jim and Terri Cannon</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Sam, Jessica, Nathan</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Acts of Mercy Africa.....someone is hungry today, both physically and spiritually....let's change that.!

Not only a new year, but also a new decade. Hard to believe that it is time for this already.<div><br />
</div><div>The choices are endless when it comes to bringing in the New Year. Some will party with absolutely no sleep while others will fall asleep at 9:30. Some will kiss their spouse while others may propose to their spouse to be. Still others won't remember the night at all because of their choices. At New Hope, we are wanting to bring in the New Year in our own way.</div><div><br />
</div><div>We will be getting together around 10pm so we can play some games and eat some food. Please bring a little of both!</div><div><br />
</div><div>Then, around 11:30 we will be having a time of worship through song lead by Jesse Anderson. This will continue right up to midnight when we will pause and pray in the New Year. 2011, not unlike any other year past or in the future, needs the presence of God in it. We believe that focusing on Jesus as the year starts will kick off this year in the right way.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Hope to see you Friday night around 10pm! Have a blessed New Year.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3180364074156364949.post-85387941099893930172010-12-13T11:02:00.000-08:002010-12-14T10:09:43.459-08:00ScheduleThis month is flying by us so quickly so we wanted to put a schedule up that would help your planning.<br />

Everyone has been busy with all the holiday activities and we don't want to add to any of the stress. This will be a great time to go out to lunch with someone or spend some quality time with the family.<br />
<br />
Each month we take a special offering to help support our missionaries around the world. Tomorrow will be the day that we do that. I will be sharing a special story about one of our missionaries before we take the offering, so you don't want to miss it.<br />
<br />
See you tomorrow at 10am!<br />

I trust you are enjoying our winter wonderland! What's so amazing is that people pay to go on vacation where we live (assuming you are one of the ones who live in Northport), and we get to live here and enjoy the beauty of God's perfect creation everyday. How totally blessed we are!</span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">I don't know about you guys, but this time of the year can be so busy! It's not always a bad thing so long as we keep everything in perspective. However, I don't think we need to add one more thing to the mix, so we have decided to CANCEL potluck this next week. Take the time to to spend with your family or take someone out to lunch and get to know them better one on one.</div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">One of the great things that will be going on in this month of December is our 2nd Annual Christmas Extravaganza on the 18th.

Within the body of Christ it is no different.<br />
<br />
Over the last few years New Hope has had a website that was useful, to an extent, in regards to communication, information and updates. Since the website was a bit difficult to stay up-to-date with as well as the cost each year, we have decided to go to change to this format.<br />
<br />
There are some great benefits to this forum.<br />
<br />
One, there is no cost! The website didn't cost much, but in this economy every penny counts.<br />
<br />
Second, this blog is much easier to update and stay up-to-date with. We need to have the ability to have things posted in a more permanent manner than what just email can do. The website took quite a bit of time to format and update on a consistent basis, but this blog will be much easier. You will be able to scroll back through and see past posts. You will be able to comment on each post as well. The ease of having the calendar is still available in this format. Just look to the left of this post and you will see where it says calendar. Click there!<br />
<br />
Third, you can be notified when this blog is updated. With the website you would need to check back on a regular basis to see what had been updated. And hopefully you still didn't miss anything. With this blog, you can subscribe to it (through RSS or email updates) and be notified when new blogs are posted. To follow this blog, and be updated by email, click the Follow tab on the left. To subscribe via RSS, click the link at the bottom of this page. As stated before, you will also be able to scroll through any of the previous postings.<br />
<br />
I will let you know about new features as they are added. If there are certain things you would like to see on this blog (links to blogs that you follow or write, links to your business, prayer request center, etc) please let me know.<br />
<br />
New Hope's email had been through our website, but that will no longer be the case. Effective immediately the email for New Hope is <a href="mailto:northportnewhope@gmail.com">northportnewhope@gmail.com</a>. Please update your email address books.<br />
<br />
I look forward to hearing from you about your thoughts and ideas.<br />
<br />
Bearing His torch,<br />
