“… A VOYAGE OF SELF- DISCOVERY.”

WELCOME TO SPIRIT WEEK  (8-14  NOVEMBER)

“Spirit Week is all about raising public awareness and to attract funding for our youth development programmes on board Spirit of New Zealand.”

“…almost 75,000 young people have undertaken a voyage of self-discovery. They not only learn to navigate and sail a tall ship, but develop skills, attitudes and behaviours to help navigate their lives.”

WHO CAN TELL ME WHAT  “VOYAGE OF SELF-DISCOVERY ” IS ALL ABOUT?

“Jesus is the Reason for the Season”

“JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON”

was written on the shirt.

What a joy it was to talk today to the person wearing the shirt straight after the conversation with an elderly couple from Germany. (I am also from Germany.) The couple from Berlin did not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 10:32,33

Click on Matthew 10:32,33 and read!

The two Germans told me that they had been  to CAPE REINGA.


CAPE REINGA IN THE NORTH OF NEW ZEALAND

THAT’S ME!

It was during a conversation when it hit me all of a sudden: That’s Me!

I have nothing and yet I have everything.

With the help of a concordance I found eventually this verse in  the Bible:

Second Corinthians 6:10

“…..; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.”

Another SERMON OUTLINE – NT – (NIV)

“For I resolved to

know nothing

while I was with you

except Jesus Christ and him

crucified.”

Isaiah 42:5-9

Intr.:

—- he who created the heavens and stretched them out,

—- who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it,

—- who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:

1. ‘I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;

2. I will take hold of your hand.

3. I will keep you and

4. will make you

a. to be a covenant for the people and

b. a light for the Gentiles,

c. to open eyes that are blind,

d. to free captives from prison and

e. to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

End:

—- ‘I am the LORD; that is my name!

—- I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols.

—- See, the former things have taken place and new things  I declare;

—- before they spring into being I announce them to you.'”
