Discipleship College continued the theme of "The Parable of the Good Samaritan". The road to Jericho is like our lives and Jesus is our Samaritan.We started the evening by reading Psalm 146 - Praise the Lord.. He reigns forever! We then split into 5 groups and each group rewrote 2 verses, in order to update but not change the meaning.
Worship songs used this evening were: To be in your presence; Thank you for saving me and Lord you have my heart.
We listened to some classical music and reflected on some questions that Emma gave us:
How much individual time have I spent with God this past week?
How much time have I spent talking to God and how much time have I spent listening?
Who have I seen/heard in pain this week?
What global situations have touched my heart this week?
What did I do next, once I'd seen them?
Have I spoken to anyone about what I've seen/heard?
Have I sacrificed anything in order to give something to someone/thing else?
Who/what have I thought badly this week?
Would I t
ake pity and do something for them/it?
ake pity and do something for them/it?The yoke God has given us is light. He encourages and does not judge.
It is hard for us to love ourselves sometimes, we know our true selves and so does God and He still loves us!
During the evening Nathan Hayward drew what he felt God was telling him. His picture was a jumble of feelings; Hope, anger, love, crying and reaching out. But Jesus is at the centre.
