An Attitude like his . . . .

When I was a lot younger my brother was seriously into the A-Team. He loved that TV programme and had all the toys and action figures. His favourite character was BA Baracus played by Mr T. BA was a hard man and his name said it all - Bad Attitude! BA liked nothing better than tossing some 'crazy fool' over the front of a car or van.

The character, like the actor was a big softie. In fact, Mr T used his high profile to help get an important message across to kids. he was a Christian who told kids to stay away from alcohol and drugs. The scary, mohawk and gold chain wearing giant of a man might have looked like a tank on the outside but on the inside his attitude was one of a gentle giant whose love for Jesus caused him to use his fame for good.

This week in the bible study we will be looking at the attitude that we are meant to be showing as Christians. Are we meant to be proud/ aloof? Are we meant to be people who care for others? Are we people who have concern for the people we come into contact with - our neighbours, our friends, our family, our workmates?

Hopefully, we will be able to develop an attitude like His . . . . .

Time off for good behaviour?

It is not easy to live as a Christian in the world today. Often the people that surround us and know that we claim to be followers of Christ are waiting for us to mess up. How we live our lives, the things we say, the things that are important to us and the way that we react to issues all show how serious we are about following Jesus. Is it enough just to be 'decent'? Do we need to be the type of people that are open, vibrant, challenging, energetic and people that others gravitate towards rather than be out off by our caustic personality. What things do we do that make people think that being a Christian is boring, full of rules and unfulfilling?

In the current bible study we will be looking at the way that Paul reckons we should be behaving. How do we live as Christians in the world today? This will also lead us into thinking about the attitiudes that the Christian should have in the next study.

When others look at us what do they see?

Have a good week!

New Small Group Bible Study: Priorities

What are the big priorities in your life? Church - family - job - God - the kids - free time - football? What things do you make a priority? Whose interest do they serve? Are your priorities an indication of the way that you live your life and the way that you serve God?

This new study will be used from Sunday 5th October and gets us to look into Phillipians chapter 1 to see the priorities that Paul had in his life and how we should try to be more like him.
