“Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing." [John 15: 5]
Amazing God-made moments, is my simple way of saying – WOW GOD! Apart from God you can do nothing, which leads to the other side of the story, the amazing things you CAN do with God! So tell us - What are some examples of “bearing much fruit” (or amazing God-made moments) that you have experienced on your journey with Jesus? And if you haven't yet joined in this most exciting journey, please do – Join us!

How did (or will) you demonstrate this kind of love today?
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." [John 13:34-35]
How simple is that – just love one another! But sometimes we get so busy with our day-to-day activities that we fail to specifically show people that we love them. So today, pick someone and show them that you love them, and that you are a disciple of God. Just a simple act will do. Tell your spouse how proud of them you are; spend some time playing a game with your kids; or buy your friend a coffee and sit and chat with them. Concentrate on what it really means to be a disciple.

How do you love someone who acts hatefully toward you?
He answered: ‘Love your God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, Love your neighbor as yourself.”’ [Luke 10:27]
Relationships are so important in life. No matter what we do, our days involve some sort of interaction with other people. We can go a whole day communicating pleasantly with others, but in one little moment a disagreement can occur. Life is easy when everyone is nice and polite, but what happens when they are not?

How do you strive to reach Life Balance?
“Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” [Mark 6:31]
Part of Life Balance is leaning that we need to rest. This scripture verse appeared in our signpost open worship this week. Sometimes just getting away for a few minutes in the middle of a stressful day is just what we need to tackle that stress. If the stress of the day has you in a tizzy, try stepping a way for a 5 mins. Take a breather, and say this verse to yourself. Than ask God to help you through your tough situation. Then go! You will be calm and ready to tackle that stress the best you can. Remember you have God in you corner!
