Psalm 96 // Day 7

Psalm 96:12-13
"Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise
before the Lord, for he is coming! He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with his truth."

Psalm 96 // Day 6

Psalm 96:10-11
"Tell all the nations, 'The Lord reigns!' The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. He will judge all peoples fairly.
Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!"

Let all the earth tremble before him."

Any thoughts?

Psalm 96 // Day 4

Psalm 96:6-7
"Honour and majesty surround him; strength and beauty fill his sanctuary.
O nations of the world, recognise the Lord; recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong."

What do you think of these verses?
Feel free to leave comments below :)

Psalm 96:4-5
"Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods.

Today's verses are:

Psalm 96:2-3
"Sing to the Lord; praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.
Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does."

Any thoughts?
What do these verses say to you?

God is...

I read this on a page in my Bible this morning - and thought it was a great reminder of how involved God is in our lives.

God is...

at work in MY WORLD... this planet, my country, my town, my community. God cares deeply about MY CHURCH and my role in it... my youth group, my Christian friends, my church family, the global family of Christ. God is part of life at MY SCHOOL... my classes, my homeowrk, my teachers, the stresses, challenges, and temptations - all of it. MY INTERESTS matter to God. He created them! God cares about my goals, my dreams, and my plans. God cares about my life at home with MY FAMILY. God's dream for my family is amazing - and I want to live it out! God cares about MY FRIENDS... my best friends, my boyfriend/girlfriend - all my important social relationships are also important to God. God intimately knows and love MY SELF... God is part of my past, my present, my future - every part of who I am and who I'm becoming.

God knows me better than I know myself!

Psalm 96 // Day 1

All this week - we will be reading a few verses from Psalm 96 each day, and I would love for you to leave comments about that days verse.

Do you like the verse?
What do you think it means?
Did it make you think of anything?
Did you notice anything funny about it?

Today's verse is Psalm 96:1
"Sing a new song to the Lord! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!"

You can look up Bible Gateway for some other translations etc...

Leave comments people!!

Games Night - 5th June 2009

A few weeks ago at 4:12, we had a Games night at the church. Everyone was put into a team, and each team was competing to be the best. But they were going to have to work for it! There were a variety of challenges which started off with designing your own team costumes - what is your brand? Other challenges included Football, Dodgeball, 'Chalk-it-up', Paper Airplane challenge, and Capture the L-Plate. Check out some of the action. David Hume's 'Pink' team won in the end - after a head-to-head toilet roll challenge against Chipo's team. Well done Pink!
