AllInTheNameOfProgress Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I will be meeting with my pastor on April 30th and asking our church, or at least our contemporary worship service, to affiliate with TCPC. I would like to propose informational classes on the teachings of Jesus that help with daily living, that help us to live more abundantly than if we had not heard these lessons. Can you give me feedback on the list - adds/drops, revisions. I had this posted in another forum and October's Autumn and McKenna suggested I might get more responses here. ------ Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength Love your neighbor as yourself Do unto others as you would have them do to you Followers need to have right attitudes in their hearts; not just on the outside – specific examples include alms giving, prayer, and fasting Become like little children – the last will be the first Reconcile quickly with those who anger you Do not retaliate; non-violence modeled by Jesus even in death Love your enemies and forgive,forgive,forgive! Give to everyone who asks Do not store up treasures for yourself on earth – you can’t serve God and wealth Seek to please God; self-denial; how you live this life DOES make a difference. Don’t judge others – focus on making yourself righteous – don’t cast stones unless your are sinless. Jesus came to seek the “lost”, not throw out the law – he ate with “sinners” and outcasts There is a special place in God’s heart for the underdog in life Need to be hearers AND doers of Jesus’ teachings – followers will be known by their actions. Let your light shine before others and keep your zest for life. Don’t squander your gifts/talents Don’t be too busy when God calls you Serving God is not always the easy path, and not everyone chooses that path, but it leads to life! Don’t worry, and always pray for what you need Don’t be a stumbling block for others’ faith Jesus became a way for people to feel forgiven of their sins, and faith in Him relieved their sufferings God loves all of us, and giving us Jesus is a great expression of that love! Don't let your religion get in the way of your relationship with God and with other people. ------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my Church it is a mutual process, we pray for each other's needs. Perhaps it is just a matter of wording and what needs are being addressed? Otherwise, this is a good list.

I will definitely edit. Having a group to work on this is perfect. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
