Receiving Blessing to Become a Blessing
Seedling — an early exploration
The fundamental call on us as followers of Jesus is to preach the good news of Jesus and the Kingdom of God to those around us. We do this through how we live our lives in our workplaces, communities and households. The Park Paradise Festival is an opportunity for us to proclaim the Kingdom of God to the community by inviting our community into a foretaste of the paradise of heaven. Today is an opportunity for us to challenge ourselves to accept the gracious gifts God is offering to us so that we can use them to bless others Just as Abraham was blessed so his descendants would be a blessing to the whole earth (Genesis 22:18).
