Man trapped in elevator for over 40 hours

Posted in Challenge, Church, Mission, Video on April 17, 2008 by Dave Saunders

i was feeling a little trapped the other day in this churchy bubble and was thinking wouldn’t it be nice to one day go to a church meeting only to be thrown out and told to go for a walk, meet some people… engage in the world. See where God is working with the poor, hungry and the needy. See where God is at work with the kid who’s Mother has died of drug overdose.

Sometime i feel like a man trapped in a elevator desperate to get out.

Seeing What God see’s

Posted in Challenge, Mission, thought on April 7, 2008 by Dave Saunders

i was listening to this cd of Mike frost talking about seeing people as ‘people’ not objects. I know i have heard this type of talk a million times, but boy was i convicted. Just simple everyday life i use people as objects. I went to play squash with my future wife and talked to the guy in charge about weather we could use his rackets and where the courts were in the building. He kindly showed us the courts and lent us rackets, we had a great game and at the end gave the rackets back and payed for the hire and we were on our way home when i realized i didn’t even bother to ask the guys name! I wonder how many people i ‘use’ everyday. Cashers, office staff and even my own team.

i wonder what the guys name was in this photo?

Iron Man

Posted in Challenge, Worship Trick, thought on March 4, 2008 by Dave Saunders

Eighly sent me a email with this video on it, so i watched it and was crying my eyes (in a manly way) out for the whole thing.

BACKGROUND: this son had been very ill with cerebral palsy since he was born and one day he asked his father if he could do a fun run. so his father went head and did the fun run - they came 2nd last. after they finished he asked if they could enter a marathon, so out of the father’s love for his son they did it together. then after the marathon he asked the father if they could do and iron man race, so again out of the father’s love he trained up and did the race (2 miles swim, 100 miles cycle, 26 miles run) then this is the video of the race.

Bridgekeeper - Romans 5:8

This video is about how a father sacrfices his son to save the passengers on a train. The son symbolizes Jesus, and the passengers symbolize us(people).

HOPE

Posted in Challenge, Church, Fresh thinking sites, Mission, Tools on January 29, 2008 by Dave Saunders

hope

if you don’t know about hope you should because i honestly believe that it will be a great thing for our country and could change it forever. It’s about uniting the church and mobilizing it for mission in the year of 2008. From what i’ve read/heard about it even the royal family are excited about it. I’ve registered my church to do it. There is so much thats good about it, but one benefit from being registered is that our country can see that the church is still alive and this brand name gives us unity. The BBC are doing a documentary about it through out the year.

TV fast

Posted in Challenge, Uncategorized on November 11, 2007 by Dave Saunders

tv

Hay guys, sorry i haven’t posted for ages all sorts have happened to stop me from getting on the net. But i’ll tell you about a little challange i am giving myself at the mo. I have recently realized the amount of time i spend watching the BOX (tv), topgear, heroes and all that…..

I have watch TV all my life and decided i wanted to re focus where it should be in my life. So im taking a month off from watching TV, and it’s been great so far. I have had more time to chill and read the bible and books like ‘velvit elvis’ (GREAT BOOK)

So if you want to join me in my month of fasting from TV, your more than welcome.
