The Fullness of God by Pastor Dave

 “Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set His seal of ownership on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.”        
 2 Corinthians 1:21-22
   
     On Sunday we held our Cafe Church where we looked back at our learning during 2023 with the focus upon the Holy Trinity. We considered this as the 'Fullness of God' and discussed what that meant and what it meant for us as a Church and as individual children of God. The aim of this service is to put our learning into practice; actual actions for the Church.

     The below are some of the questions we considered. Please give them further thought and if you believe the Lord has identified something in your considerations for the Church, please let us know!

1. How do you now see the Holy Trinity as the Fullness of God; who God fully is? What impact should this have in Church and in our lives? 
2. What major point did you learn about the Father, Son or Holy Spirit this last year? How can this learning be applied in our Church and individual lives? 
3. How is Jesus the exact representation of God (Hebrews 1: 3); what does this mean and how does this help the Church and your faith? 
4. The Holy Spirit lives within us when we put our trust in God through Jesus (1 Cor. 3: 16). How does this knowledge, and reality, empower, direct and give life to the Church and individual disciples? 
5. If our Real God is the Triune God in Fullness, how does this impact the fullness of the Real Church and the fullness of a child of God in their Real Lives? (Recall Rev. Kim’s sermon on the 19.11.23)

Prayer
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all, now and evermore. Amen.
