Connection

December 01, 2008

Our current theme at Energizer is CONNECTION. Our mission put very simply is ‘connecting people to God and each other’.

So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.” (John 13:34)

Jesus shared this new commandment with his eleven closest friends. Even within a well connected and familiar group like His disciples, Jesus knew that remaining connected wouldn’t happen without some encouragement.

There are people who are easy to love because they make us feel good, and others who are more of a challenge. God’s love doesn’t ask anything from humanity, He loves us because that is His very nature. He is complete and doesn’t require anything from us to make Him complete. His desire is that you are complete and secure.

Real connection with each other is possible through the security that comes from experiencing the unselfish love of God. Jesus’ message to His disciples and to us is that; His love stimulates within us the capacity to be able to love and therefore connect with those around us.

God loves you, and you have an exciting future! As we fire up the barbies and boats, lets keep in mind that connection or authentic relationship with each other will happen as a result of our connection with God.

Bless you heaps,
Pastor Dave.
