The first two weeks back at SOULIES have been rad as we’ve seen lots of friends brought along and a number of people respond to Jesus! So good!!

This Friday night (Feb 17) we are hitting up the MISSION NIGHT at St Matt’s Manly. The Northern Beaches is buzzing at the moment with all of the surfing, skating and other gear going down in Manly at the moment. SO DON’T MISS THIS FRIDAY, WE’LL BE PART OF THE BUZZING!!!! It’s from 730-930pm. Point your clicker here for all the deets (give yourself enough time to deal with crazy traffic for the drop off!).

Next Friday (Feb 24) night is BREAK IT DOWN. Chat to your leader this weekend to find out the game plan… keep thinking of friends you can bring along!

I’ve been heaps encouraged over the last couple of weeks by how welcoming we have been as a community. So keep sharing the love!

FOR PARENTS – I would love to invite parents to come to my place (at the back of the church car park) for morning tea or supper on Sunday 12 February. Come along after our 10:30am congregation (approx. 12-12:30pm) or come along after our 6:00pm congregation (approx. 7:30-8pm).

Hey Parents, I will be speaking each night from the Bible on love, marriage, sex and relationships. I am aware that I will have year 7s in the same crowd as year 12s. I recognise that they are at different stages developmentally and so will speak sensitively and appropriately for the audience. However, our teenagers are receiving a sex education from the Internet, music videos, their peers and surrounding culture. So I’m convinced we need to be honest in showing young people how to think about these topics from the Bible. If you have any concerns or questions on the direction I will be taking, please contact me. Dave Miers.

Christmas is a good time to reflect again on the good news of Jesus. Earlier this year we studied John 1-3 in our series GOD HAS COME. The first Christmas reminds us that GOD HAS COME. As we meet Jesus, we meet God. Some people think that God is distant and doesn’t understand our world and our struggles. Yet in Jesus, we have a God who has walked in human flesh.

Check out this line from my favourite Christmas Carol – O Holy Night – “He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger”. Sometimes Christmas isn’t a joyful time for people as they reflect on the brokenness of our world. Jesus knows our need. Jesus understands our weakness. Check out Hebrews 4:14-16

“Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

Christmas morning is an opportunity to hope again in our God who came into our world 2000 years ago. Keep trusting in Jesus.

We’d love to see you at St Faith’s this Christmas. This vid has the details of service times.

Dave Miers.
