CityLight 12-18.7

Dear CityLight friends,

“However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit…”
1Cor2:9-10

God has great things in store for you, for us, for CityLight church. It’s beyond our imagination & comprehension. Amazingly God doesn’t want to keep us in the dark, but desires to reveal His good intentions to us by His Spirit. Won’t we pause and listen this week?

Enjoy Him!
Patrick + Ivetka

CityLight July 1-8

Dear CityLight Family,

“Abraham was looking forward to the city that has foundations. He was waiting for the city that God planned and built… they longed for a better country. They wanted one in heaven.
So God is pleased when they call Him their God. In fact, He has prepared a city for them.”

Heb 11:10, 16

Let us as a church long for that better home, a place established & planned by God. And as we journey like Abram in wild abandonment to the Father, let us be givers of grace and love that overcomes a “hostile and divided” world. Let this be our common prayer this week.

Blessings,
Patrick + Ivetka

CityLight Update: 17-23/5/2010

Dear CityLighters,


As we approach the celebration of Pentecost this Sunday I would encourage you to pray that the Holy Spirit would guide you & our church in the next days & months. Many of us are seeking “next steps” and feel we are in those rudderless boats we spoke about on Sunday. But know that God has wonderful things planned and He promises to reveal those things by His Spirit (1Cor 2:9-10). So just ask!


Blessings,
Patrick + Ivetka

5. Direct donations? via City Light (we will have envelopes available for donations)


If you have any questions or some crazy ideas how to raise funds pass them on to Heather (eccleshm@mail.masters.edu). Please pray for this need & project!

CityLight Update: 10-16/5

Dear CityLight family,

Today I was reminded in a lecture by Mr. Walter Hooper, personal secretary & friend of C.S.Lewis, that “Unless a grain of wheat fall into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” (Jn 12:24) There is so much that we run after in this life to fulfill our own desires & dreams. Yet, there is such a greater reward in being spent on Him. For as the same passage continues - “He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” (v25) What a great prize, what good fruit - Life….”and that more abundantly!

This week I’m including in the CityLight update a few ways you can spend & be spent for Jesus. Also, please serve one another in prayer (see list below).

Be blessed & be a blessing,
Patrick + Ivetka

HOPE

Jesus asked His 12 a pointed question after washing their feet – “Do you understand what I have done for you?” (Jn 13:12) It is a great question to ask ourselves? For the Disciples and most of Israel the reality of “what I have done” was not as vibrant in their minds as their deeply ingrained Messianic hope. But what happens when the story turns sour, the Hero dies, and hope does as well?

Patrick+Ivetka: April 2010 Ministry Update

Dear family & friends,

Greetings from a blossoming, Spring thawed Bratislava! It's so good to feel sun again after a long winter and see all of the new life emerging around us. Sometimes it hard to believe it‘s really here!

The Apostle Paul wrote "no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those that love Him..." (1 Cor 2:9) It is so true! Since our last update (July 09') God has been sweeping us up into His Big Story and it's so much better then we could have planned. Won't you read and rejoice with us in all that God, not us, is doing here in Bratislava, Slovakia and in the CityLight church?


Be blessed & be a blessing,

Patrick, Ivetka, Gabie & David
