Burnham Beeches 2007

This was a trip we did to Burnham Beeches back in 2007. We'd invited the club members to church and then for a picnic and an afternoon exploring. Billy, Ethan and Darran turned up and we had a great day!

Lost and Found[Luke 15 v1-10]

Who should come to church?Only decent nice people? Was Jesus wrong to spend time with "great sinners", like theives and even prostitutes?

Are you good enough to go to church?

The truth is, Jesus is interested in anybody who wants to change their lives. You don't have to be "good enough" to come to church. Christianity is for anybody who wants to get rid of their wrong and start a new life.

If we go our own way in life, we are lost and unless we get back to God we are lost for good. Being lost is pretty terrifying. If you're not trusting in Jesus you're lost. Do you know that?

Think for a moment what it's like when you have to look for something important that you lost, like your wallet, or a ring? It's worrying and you become desperate and even begin looking in places that it usually wouldn't even be because you want to find it so much. If you are lost, God is looking for you like this. You are important to God and He has done great things and amazing things to bring you back to Him. And for those who are found, those who repent, there is rejoicing in Heaven.

Repenting means to realise you have done wrong, to turn away from the wrong you do, and start a new life going in a new direction. It means to say sorry to God and to change, to go Jesus way. That is how you get found. You'll be found when you repent.

Then there'll be joy in Heaven and on earth for your salvation because you are no longer lost, but found.

Don't stay lost.
