“ A S A F E P L A C E T O H E A R A D AN G E R O U S M E S S A G E . ”

2 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as

in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord”. Pastor Geoff "

Servant or Son?

Hebrews 3:4-6 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 5 Moses was faithful as a servant in all God's house, testifying to what would be said in the future. 6 But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast. Sons are built into the family business, servants do what they are contracted to do and little more. The fundamental difference between the two is ATTITUDE. Knowing that we are heirs to everything, alters the perspective in the way we serve. The whole earth is eagerly anticipating the sons to arise. Romans 8

Have an awesome week—From the Eden Team

Sunday

Eden Assembly of God Church

If you are visiting with us for the first time or

a regular part of the family, we trust you will

enjoy the service and feel welcomed.

A great camp last weekend. Around 15 of Eden’s folk were there. Jude went home on Wednesday and we are praying hard for Kaiti as she battles the effects of a stroke. As we position the Church for God to do something new it seems things are being stirred up around us. The changes affect all of us in different ways. I hope you will re-main open to what God wants you to do as we move forward. It is time to step up and be all He is calling us into. We only have this one life and we need to make it count.

One of the main things is that we are con-stantly being changed. The reason for the change is to be more like Him. We are be-ing changed into His image to show forth His glory. The glory the Father gave to Je-sus He has given us and that is to do the Father’s works the Father’s way. I am so excited! I know God has bought Ps Tony and family to be with us and as we work together as co labourers with the Holy Spirit we will see people come to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose

and Make a Difference.

KNOW GOD

FIND FREEDOM

DISCOVER PURPOSE

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

What’s within our means to achieve we should do. What’s not within our natural abilities

to resolve, we need a miracle. I want to encourage you to decide whether we need a mir-

acle or whether simple obedience will do. Creating an atmosphere of faith, is as simple

as making a decision. The water doesn't come to us, we step out of the boat and walk.

Please note—Notices must be received by midday each Tuesday for inclusion in the following Sunday’s newsletter. [email protected]

Just for fun Faith is personal, but never private. Hope is the ability to hear the music of the future, Faith is having the courage to dance to it today. Light travels faster then sound... which is why some people appear brilliant until you hear them. He who feels that he is too small to make a difference has never been bitten by a mosquito. I can't believe I got fired from the calen-dar factory. All I did was take a day off. Nothing ruins a Friday more than an understanding that today is Tuesday.
