Meditation of God: Comforter

Meditation Scriptures

Psalm 23:4: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,[c]

    I will fear no evil,

for you are with me;

    your rod and your staff,

    they comfort me.

Psalm 119: 50, 52, 76

This is my comfort in my affliction,
    that your promise gives me life...

When I think of your rules from of old,
    I take comfort, O Lord...

Let your steadfast love comfort me
    according to your promise to your servant.

Isaiah 12:1,2

You will say in that day:
“I will give thanks to you, O Lord,
    for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away,
    that you might comfort me.

 “Behold, God is my salvation;
    I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
    and he has become my salvation.”

Response

2 Corinthians 1:3-7

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.

YOUTHFUSION IS NOW SATURDAY

REMEMBER, YOUTHFUSION is on SATURDAY, 7PM AT LIFEPOINT CHURCH. It's going to be an awesome night. We are going to break out a new game called SWAT!!! Can't wait to play this. It is going to be awesome. 

God's Anger

This Week's Reflection: God's Anger

Remember, the idea is to read one a day, and reflect on what it means. This is to lead you to a deeper understanding of God, not to overwhelm you. Enjoy

Reflection Verses:

Exodus 32:1-14: When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him, “Up, make us gods who shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” So Aaron said to them, “Take off the rings of gold that are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” So all the people took off the rings of gold that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. And he received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a golden calf. And they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!” When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the Lord.” And they rose up early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.

And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them. They have made for themselves a golden calf and have worshipped it and sacrificed to it and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!’” And the Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them, in order that I may make a great nation of you.”

But Moses implored the Lord his God and said, “O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? Why should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent did he bring them out, to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your burning anger and relent from this disaster against your people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’” And the Lord relented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people.

Numbers 11:1-3: And the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes, and when the Lord heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some outlying parts of the camp. Then the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire died down.  So the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the Lord burned among them.

Numbers 12:1-16: Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman. And they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it. Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth. And suddenly the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” And the three of them came out. And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward. And he said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream. Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house. With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles, and he beholds the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?” And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he departed.

When the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, like snow. And Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. And Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, do not punish us because we have done foolishly and have sinned. Let her not be as one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes out of his mother's womb.” And Moses cried to the Lord, “O God, please heal her—please.” But the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut outside the camp seven days, and after that she may be brought in again.” So Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days, and the people did not set out on the march till Miriam was brought in again. After that the people set out from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran.

Psalm 145:8: The Lord is gracious and merciful,

    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

John 2:13-17: The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade.” His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

Reflection Verses:

Ephesians 4:26-27: And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

James 1:19-21: Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

JANUARY 17, 2014

This Friday at youth, we are continuing the our Alpha Series. This week we look at the topic Jesus: Who is He? It has been a great study and we hope you will come out for it.



Also, we will spend the majority of the evening in Prayer. So bring your prayer requests, and let us seek the Lord together. Remember that it is an honour to seek the Lord together. The privilege to approach God's throne is one that should not be taken lightly. Let us not pass up on this evening, but take full advantage of it. God Bless, see you Friday.

Remember, Youth is moving the Saturdays NEXT WEEK.

YOUTH ALPHA ON FRIDAY

This Friday, be sure to come out for Alpha. Over the next 12 weeks, be sure to bring your questions as we explore Life, Faith, and God. Bring your friends as we hope to answer some of their questions about God too. Click Here to see a video of what is in store.

God Bless

YouthFusion, December 4-9, 2012

LAST WEEK
PRAISE AND PIZZA WAS AWESOME!!!! I don't like to brag, but I have a pretty freaking awesome youth band. Just throwing that out there. Then Pastor Dave Wells and shared a great message the Lord had placed on his heart. He asked three questions:

1) Who are you going to live life for?
2) Who are you going to live life with?
3) What are you going to live life for?

Three great questions that we all need to answer at some point in our lives. Thank you so much Pastor Dave for your words of wisdom.

THIS WEEK
Friday Night Sports is back on. We will be playing volleyball this week. I know there are some hardcore Volleyball players out there so come on out and show us your stuff..
