SUNDAY MESSAGES

CHRISTIAN SUFFERING ROMANS 8 : 28 INTRODUCTION: Does chriastian really suffer? MAIN IDEA; Whatever God may permit to come to us will be for our good by the time it reaches to us. CONTENT: We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose. Trouble is part of this life. The Bible says '' Man is born unto trouble ( Job 5: 7 ) Sometimes christians expect God to keep them from problems and hardships but God has not promised to do this. Christians as well as unsaved people experiences trials, troubles, and sufferings. The way in which we meet the trials of life depends on the way we inwardly see and believe things to be. If we see things from a purely human point of view, we will be discouraged and defeated. BUt if we see them from God view, recognizing His wonderful character and seeing His hand in all our circumstance, we will have peace, joy, and happiness. To a trusting child of God, everything comes from the Fathers hand no matter who may have brought it. But remember that God can not be the auther of such things as means of sins, but the Bible teaches that nothing can touch a child of God except will permit it. Remember my friend, it will always come with blessing to the child of God. Our lives are hid with Christ in God. Joseph was sold by his brothers as slave hating him. His brothers meant only evil to him. God permited it. It turned into the greatest blessing in his brothers. The secret of a happy life is seeing God in all your circumstances. Trust in the Lord and you will see His faithfulness.

FRIENDS OF JESUS CHURCH FAMILY DAY.

This was one of an important event we had in our church this year. It was Octobar 4th the year 2008 where people celebrated in our church. The church member cooked together their own food each showing the best style of cooking. This reminds me when the apostles of Jesus ate together and no one had any need at all. Friends of Jesus Church is situated just in the slums of Kibera Nairobi Kenya Olympic Estate. Most of people who come to the church are from the slums and few from the Estate. Here is where the love of Christ is preached. THE EVENTS OF THE YEAR 2008.
