Topic: PLaNT Bangladesh - Lift Up Your Eyes: Finishing the Task (John 4:27-35)

Service: 8am & 10am Services Speaker: David Lovett (OM)

Rooted in the Living Word Empowered by the Holy Spirit Abiding in Christ only Daring to Hope and to Love Yielding Fruit To God’s Glory

Welcome to Bethesda Frankel Estate Church

You did not choose me, but I CHOSE you and appointed you that you should go and BEAR FRUIT & that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.– John 15:16

1) Jesus’s example of living out of His purpose and calling to His disciples

a) Don’t look down: Surrender our rights and ambitions b) What is Jesus doing in the world?

2) Learn to eat Jesus’ food

a) Living out of our purpose and calling b) Embracing Missions as a lifestyle

Questions:

1. What keeps us distracted and preoccupied so that we can miss how God wants us to live out Acts 1:8? How do we practically reach out as His witness to our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth?

2. What do I need to surrender in my lifestyle so that I can be

free to “eat Jesus’ food”? What satisfies me or passionate about, that may keep me from “doing the will of Him who has sent you and finish His work” of Matt. 24:14?

3. What does the Lord want me to do practically in praying,

giving and going to reach Bangladeshi people or other Unreached people groups?

As the global pandemic rages on, many remain fearful and disoriented by the prospect of mounting infections, job losses, social misery and political unrest. We are told these are part of the new normal.

As Christians, how are we coping? What do we trust in and hope for in a time such as this? The book of Psalms teaches God’s people to call and even cry out to Him, for true hope and assurance are found in the Lord alone.

It is thus timely that in this year’s BFEC Churchwide journey, we will explore a selection of Psalms that give voice to our hopes and fears, and focus our hearts and minds where they ought – on God and our Saviour Jesus Christ, our only hope in life and death.

So join us on this journey as we pray and sing the Psalms together unto the Lord, for He is good and his steadfast love endures forever! In Christ, indeed, God has given us a new song!
