Island Ministry team (Upper Buvuma Islands)
The vision of the International
Mission Board is to see a multitude from every language, people, tribe and
nation knowing and worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ
6Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel
before the Lord our Maker. 7 For He is our God,
and we are the people of His pasture, the sheep under His care. (Psalms 95:6—7 HCSB)
and we are the people of His pasture, the sheep under His care. (Psalms 95:6—7 HCSB)
Jesus is King of kings
and Lord of lords dwelling in dazingly bright light. He is also our Shepherd, Companion and
friend. He is the One who never let go
of our hands. We should worship Christ
in His holy majesty. We should come
close to Christ and rest in His presence.
We need Christ both as God and Man.
Jesus’ incarnation on the first Christmas is able to fulfill our
neediness. Since Jesus went to such
extreme measures to save us from our sins, we can be assured that He will
graciously give us all we need as we put our trust and Him. Rejoice
in all Christ has done for us, and His light will shine through us into the
world.
32He did not even spare His own Son but offered
Him up for us all; how will He not also with Him grant us everything? (Romans 8:32 HCSB)
