Homework Contest

This past Sunday Peep shared a great piece of homework coming out of the sermon. He challenged all of us to think and pray about the next year and try to make some goals for our lives. Everyone was give a piece of paper with different categories on it and all we have to do is fill them in and keep the paper handy the next year and then try our best to make those goals a reality.

I love homework from services on Sunday. I believe that each Sunday every person that passes through the doors of a church should come out with something they are going to do, or change in their life the very next week. This is so important that we quickly put into practice what God tells us, otherwise we forget it and then it just becomes a nice memory.

Could you imagine that people that were at Risttee on Sunday, everyone of us, was to seek Gods guidance, complete the paper, then keep it handy and make these things happen in 2008; what kind of a church we could be. We would become a group of people who are seeking Gods face, listening to his voice and move when he says so! Risttee could become a major agent of change in Tartu. Through this maybe people would come to Christ, become better husbands, wives, fathers mothers, become more generous, more prayerful, more faithfully studying God's word, do you see where this is going, it could be revolutionary. I am getting goosebumps (kananahk) just thinking about it.

So here is the deal, we are having a little competition. The prize, a gift certificate to La Dolce Vita, great Italian pizza restaurant in Tartu. How do you win the prize? Take a picture of you with your list from Sunday showing off where your going to keep it. The best picture and location, as voted by me will win the 300eek gift certificate. I believe in this homework so much a simple prize is nothing and maybe just maybe you will give it a try and see what God wants to do in your life in 2008! I will post all the pictures as I get them here on the blog. The competition runs until 20.jaanuar.2008 17:00, so you have some time to do it. If you missed the service, it will be soon on the Internet, you can listen and then get a copy of the assignment from me. Just email me at craig@goingup.ee with any questions and most importantly your pictures!!!!!

Can't wait to see who wins!!
